you will never congest a gigabit network with your camera traffic
Ok so if I'm understanding correctly now, people are using a separate NIC to isolate the cameras and BI server simply for security purposes, not traffic or congestion. Is that right?
So the answer to questions I had are:
- Use a second NIC to isolate the network for security purposes.
- A single managed switch will be fine for the entire home network including the security cameras and BI server.
- Set up firewalls so cameras cannot access the internet.
- Diagram B either achieves the exact same result as diagram B, or is better.
Is that all true?
Any comments or concerns with the diagram?
I have just finished wiring a new circuit to the server closet, will be plaster boarding today, then painting, then hopefully setting the system up. Cameras should arrive tomorrow.
