To answer specifically to your situation you would have to: How an information packet from your NAS can be routed to a device connected to router B?.How an information packet from a device connected to router B can be routed to your NAS?.Yesterday I replaced by dying RG59+2 setup of 8 cams and a Hikvision DVR with a DS-7616NI-I2 (Non-POE) NVR and a range of Hikvision cameras (again 8 in total).Įverything is up and ready to be connected to a network.īeen lurking on this forum for months just taking in all the information but now I finally have a query regarding subnets.What is probably missing from your configuration is answers to these two questions: I have a Netgear POE switch 8xpoe, 8x normal (JGS516PE) I could use or a 24 port (GS728TP). The idea is not to increase external cameras as 8 is more than enough but may add a couple inside on POE (Hikvision Cubes)īoth switches go to a Draytek router which runs over FTTP.Ĭurrently the 24 port is in-use as I have around 16 devices already on cable leaving 8 free. This is where I would like some ideas or assistance in decidingġ.
Cameras set to same IP as network (1.x range) and add them the 8 port switch.
Cameras get set to another subnet, add to the 8 portģ. Cameras go onto the 24 port with the scope of internal cameras also going on there. This would mean my 16 port would be maxed outģa: This could be same subnet or different subnet to rest of the network.
I suppose the real question here is not about switch but whether I should be looking at having the cameras + NVR on a sep subnet or not. It would be via a vlan either way from the Draytek. My only reason of wanting it on the main network is we have a fair bit of home automation and it would be great to get the cameras on it but this would require everything being on the same network.I currently run 12 cameras, with a mix of g4 doorbell, G3 Flex, G3, G3 Pros, and G3 Micros, all on a dedicated VLAN separate from my MGMT VLAN. I maxed out the frame rate, and bandwidth settings on the cameras to get the best quality. With all of these hitting max upload I never really saw issues on a 1 gig interface on the USG PRO. I have since switched to a Fortigate 800C with 2 10gig links aggregated to a USW Pro, for other reasons, but looking at my usage right now to the Controller, overall usage is 2% of a 1 gig link, this is with me accessing it from a separate vlan to view, and cameras sending data to it on a separate vlan, and my management vlan sending traffic to it. So TOTAL usage with everything opened is 2%. Why did I put my Camera's on a different vlan? Some of my cameras are 'easily' accessible on the outside of my house. Last thing I want is someone to get into my network and disable things when I am on vacation or something. My whole house is automated, this would be easy to do, generally because IoT devices like MyQ are not always built with security in mind. Also, I want to know what my cameras connect to on the internet (which they shouldn't) and I should know what and how they connect to internal assets. My SSID for the wireless cameras is also on the same vlan and also not broadcasted. I don't mean this to come across as pandering, but you mentioned being new to network administration. So I'll cover a few of the kinds of issues you're likely to encounter implementing a VLAN.
Also, I second the other commenters who mentioned that this will not improve performance or reduce bandwidth use in any way.Īssuming you want your cameras to autoconfigure their network settings, your DHCP server needs to be on the same VLAN with the cameras. It would be simpler and more robust for the NVR to access the cameras by hostname rather than IP address. To do this, your DNS server needs to be accessible from the DHCP server for auto-updates.
