I'm setting up Blue Iris on a new 11th gen i7. I'm using the same PC to host a VirtualBox VM of Home Assistant with Bridged Adapter network settings (sharing the ethernet adapter on the PC).
I intend to stream some camera feeds to Home Assistant dashboards (currently using RTSP urls for this), which I presume means each camera stream would then be coming through the PC's ethernet port twice, would it not? Is there a way (and a need) to optimize? ...perhaps, in Home Assistant, use the Blue Iris integration video feeds instead of sourcing the streams via RTSP? Or should I purchase and use a USB ethernet adapter for the HA VM?
