    POE Cam IP Traffic isolation options

    Boogie relax I think OP just want to separate traffic Sorry about my ambiguity and confusion in my first post that was trying to convey my desire to not flood my busy home network with the load from newly installed high resolution cameras. Thanks for the help here from all!

    POE Cam IP Traffic isolation options

    Almost all HIK NVR have 2 NIC cards One for cameras second for LAN and your traffic completely separated Exactly what I had hoped for, thanks so much for the reply! Another reason to go with HIK.

    POE Cam IP Traffic isolation options

    I've talked to multiple resellers, TechPro Security Systems and Lorex Tech Support and both gave me the same description of how their NVRs could be connected. They both stated that you home run to POE ports on the NVR (isolateing the traffic off the home LAN) or use and external POE switch that would have to be plugged into the Router first and the NVR attached to the router as well. Without a managed switch, my understanding is that this exposes the network to the traffic of the camera system which they agreed with. TechPro even broke down the cost of the, admittedly lower these days, managed switch VS the cost of additional cabling. Cost is not the issue here, its access for me and single cable drop to the limited NVR location. http://www.networkworld.com/article/2168369/tech-primers/for-ip-surveillance-networks--smart-poe-switches-give-an-edge.html "A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) uses an Ethernet switch to partition a physical network, thereby creating distinct broadcast domains. VLANs are especially useful when an IP Surveillance network shares the same network infrastructure with other functions or applications, such as a corporate data network. By assigning the IP Surveillance traffic to a separate, distinct, high-priority VLAN, the traffic is assured to pass through the network swiftly and securely." My concern would be less for the camera data priority than hosing the home network, a concern the TechPro brought to my attention.
  4. Does anyone make an NVR that allows an external POE switch to route directly to the NVR and not the router? It looks like to me that the only way to isolate your home network from the camera load is to home run all cameras to the POE switch built into the NVR or use a managed switch. Sure would be nice to be able, in my install situation, to home run all of the cameras to a POE switch and then from the POE switch to the NVR and have the NVR have a second port to the router firewalling the traffic from the POE/Camera load. Does anyone make and NVR that will do this or am I missing something? Thanks!
