Sweden yeah!
Today I realized there is no setting for VLAN ID on my Dahua Cameras. I guess I will have to use an untagged port on my switch then. Also there is no dual IP stack.

This query has come up here before. I don't quite understand why you'd need a Vlan ID setting on a camera.

If you're using Vlans then I would expect the Vlan(s) to be configured on the switch. All devices connected to ports assigned to a particular Vlan will inherently belong to that Vlan with no special vlan setting required on the device. When traffic is sent elsewhere (eg: over a trunk) then the switch will tag that traffic across the trunk.

Thanks! Yes it seems to work as you described!
