Configuring NVR (Hikvision) with PoE cameras for a dedicated VLAN

Hi Everyone,
Please advice if the following will be correct and sufficient.
My existing NVR (Hikvision) has:
  • static IP: a.b.1.10, disabled DHCP (IP is reserved on router),
  • default gateway: a.b.1.1
  • six plug'n'play IP cameras connected to NVR;
  • the cameras are managed by the NVR and powered from it (PoE) - each camera is assigned with its IP from the pull of internal NIC IPv4 addresses (a.b.254.1, a.b.254.2, a.b.254.3 ...etc.).
All is working.
Now I want to 'relocate'/reconfigure the NVR including its cameras to a newly created VLAN - host address a.b.50.1.
To 'relocate' the NVR to the new VLAN I'll tag its network switch port with that VLAN.
Please advice if it will be sufficient (before tagging the respective switch port):
  • to change the NVR's IP to, let's say - a.b.50.10 (of course - by reserving it to be the NVR's static one),
  • change default gateway to a.b.50.1,
  • ensuring, through the camera's Virtual Host, one-by-one, that each camera's IP is unchanged (since the Internal NIC IPv4 Address remains unchanged).
And what would be the best sequence to proceed?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Provided that the VLAN you create will still allow access to the NVR from the (presumed) PC that you are using to manage the NVR, I'd suggest:
Change the NVR IP configuration as you've described above.
You will then lose access, temporarily.
Tag the NVR switch port with the target VLAN.
Access should then be regained.
