Suggestions for network segment

If I missed a previous guide I apologize.
Thanks for help.

First, read this wiki

To isolate your NVR and cams, check out devices like EdgeRouterX and Netgate SG-1100 (or build your own pfSense device) and use VLANs to separate your PC network from your CAM network. If using Blue Iris, instead of an NVR, you could use two NICs (network cards) in a PC to keep the networks separate.

VLAN question or two

At this point, the question is mainly about VLAN tagging. For example, I want to set up VLAN 1 for my general home network, VLAN 2 for Internet/WiFi-connected gadgets, and VLAN 3 for IP camera system. In the garage I have a managed switch with POE ports for cameras and also I want general...

Even though I’ve got a layer 3 switch I decided to go with BI and 2 LAN cards so the cams and POE switch off 1 card, connection to my main house on the other card. So much easier to implement and if I need access to the cams I simply RDP to the BI PC.
