Help with Ip Camera's

Hello,
first of all. A VLAN acts as if you have dedicated switch for this lan. So if you setup a vlan and putt all the comera’s ports on the vlan (lets call it 2) to untagged only this cameras can talk to each other.

You need to add a vlan on the pfsense to the LAN Interfache. It will lock like lan.2. This port needs to be setup to tansport the vlan 2 tagged. On the pfsense you need to assign the new “created” interface for vlan 2 and give it a name and a ip. Like 192.168.2.254.

Then you should be able to see the new interface lan.2 unter services / dhsp server and can enable it.
I sugged you start wie a port on your switch attach a pc to it and check if you get dhcp offers.

If you camera’s are poe then you can powercyle them via the switch and could leave the ladder where it is stored :wink:

Hope this helps if you have questions feel free to ask.

Best Regards.
