Bi Server with TWO Network Cards

[cltbwc]

I'm interested in adding an additional network card to my BI server. My intent is to isolate the video files moving to the NAS from traffic related to viewing camera images live. Has anyone else already done this? If so, any recommendations on how best to configure both cards?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

And put your NAS on the same network at your cameras.

That will keep the NAS traffic off the main network. Just be sure to run it all through a good switch, not all back through a router of some sort (most routers can't handle heavy local traffic).
