I'm just starting to think about how to configure my network ip cameras and would welcome suggestions.
My current constellation:
Gateway/Router: Asus RT AC68U running Merlin
Main switch: Netgear ProSafe GS748T V5
Server: X11SM-F with two onboard NICs. Proxmox hypervisor.
I have a Netgear Smart GS724TPv2 Gig Switch which can be dedicated to the IP cameras.
I'm planning on installing zoneminder or frigate as a VM on my server because I don't want to buy/power yet another box.
I will want to be able to access the camera feeds when I'm away from the house, but am happy to vpn into my router to appear as though I'm on the local network.
This is in a home environment.
I want something that is sensibly secure.
Should I be thinking about a VLAN for the cameras? Would zoneminder/frigate go in that same VLAN? Would that involve dedicating one of my physical NICs on my server for the Zoneminder/frigate VM?
