Hi all,
I built a system not too long ago and found this website to be of great assistance, but I'm having a bit of an issue and can't seem to find any existing information as to how to address it (at least in an understandable way).
System has 10 cameras, running on Milestone, I just have a server setup and everything is recorded onto there.
The problem I'm having is, with 10 cameras alongside some other devices, the network gets very congested. I need to figure out a way to isolate the cameras from the network, but still allow the computer to access them of course.
Another benefit is the security as well that this provides, although at this point I block the mac address of all the cameras on the router, preventing them from having internet access.
But anyway, is there an easy way to get rid of all this network traffic and still have everything work fine? Unfortunately I'm not well versed in networking, so creating VLANs etc I'm a little unsure about. I did read somewhere though that I can change the IP address of the cameras out of the range of the router, so it won't pick up on them. But then somehow the PC will need to?
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
