Setting up vlans is pretty easy.
Configuring them in this way is probably the better way to do it but it is more complicated and easily messed up.
Multihoming the bi server would be quicker and easier if doing it this way proves too much.

Thanks for the very basic explanation, that was very useful.
So considering I have one camera that is connected outside of the main CCTV PoE switch, I guess I'll have to set up both VLANS through my modem?
Is there any tutorial on YouTube which explains how to set up a VPN? I know my router has this feature but I've literally never used one, let alone set one up.
Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine
In making your system more secure this is a great option to eliminate your cameras calling home / connecting to the internet This is a great place to start to setup a bit more secure network and learn more about IP/Subnets etc. before adding dual NICs: Router Security - Subnets and IP addresses...ipcamtalk.com
My BI machine doesn't have dual LAN.

Then deal with the issues that will come from having a camera on the same network as your internet and going thru a router... Get a 4 port then and daisy chain LOL
it's just another term for describing a computer that is connected to two different networks at the same time.
It can be done in various ways, but in your case it would most likely be done by installing a second network card into your computer.
Another example would be when your mobile phone is connected to 4G and your wifi.
You mentioned the switch model (TL-SG1210MPE), but not what router you are using..... Let us know that information and we can probably help get it set up.
For me, VPNs were more confusing to learn than VLANs. This is only because I am self taught and many of the online procedures I looked at were for enterprise level VPNs with extra layers of security and complexity that simply aren't needed for the average "home" user. Once I began to understand the differences between the two type of users and what enterprise level elements I didn't need to incorporate into my VPN setup, it became easier for me to understand and implement.

I just replaced a 10m ethernet cable because it was clearly not good enough -- as shown by the Speedtest.net results on the laptop it was connected to.
I'm guessing it was a Cat5 and I replaced it with a Cat6 and even with just a 10 meter length it made a lot of difference.
