.... 2 network cards in your BI machine

This is a good idea, but using a separate VLAN is still useful even if you have two network cards. For example, if you want to use the same network switch for other devices too. Configure the switch ports used by the cameras, and the switch port used by the second network card, to use the camera VLAN untagged and as the PVID.

Hmmmm....you'd think it'd be South Korea since that's Samsung's home base.
