Basically, my main router does not have Vlans, i use a verizon router that simply just works, and I really don't have the money to change it. What i do have is an extra old netgear router flashed with ddwrt, the one id like to use as the router for my cameras. Basically (<- means connected to) , Main verizon router <- netgear ddwrt router <- a computer with either ispy or bluiris, not sure yet, connected to router, along a poe switch for the cameras <- 4 Amcrest poe cameras connected to the switch .
The reasons I want to do this is because:
1. I don't want the cameras to be pinging home
2. I don't want the cameras to affect the bandwidth of my main router
3. I dont want the cameras to risk my network/security reasons.
I also want to be able to access the cameras in this separate router from my main router, without the cameras, or devices in the second router, to have access to any of the devices/anything in the main router. Basically, be able to access everything from main router or so, while the things in the second router to not have any internet access or any access to the main router.
I also want to be able to record the cameras connected to this second router with a computer specifically only for recording, and streaming? my recordings, as I will have this computer at the basement of my house, and would like to be able to see the camera streams, or be able to zoom in or out, or use the blu iris or ispy application, from any other computer in my house (second and third floor, computers/devices connected to main router).
Not sure if im explaining my self too well, or if any of this is possible, so any help and clarifications will be apreciated.
