XG - VLAN setup with security camera

I am going to be setting up some security cameras and would like to know the best way to make them secure on my network.

What I would like to do is have the cameras separate from the LAN network where all my devices are. The intent here is that if one of my outside cameras was unplugged and someone plugged in a laptop they would not have access to the LAN network. 

 

From what I gathered so far I would need to setup a VLAN on a separate port. I have 2 ports not being used right now.

 

(IP addresses below are just for reference)

 

The LAN IP is 192.168.10.XXX

This VLAN I would use something like 192.168.20.XXX as the IP .

I would create firewall rules to allow the traffic to flow from the VLAN to the LAN where the NVR is located to record.

 

Is this possible with just using XG and a normal switch?

 

How would I setup the camera? Does it get an IP on the VLAN and how do I point that to an IP on the LAN?

  • Hi Jason,

    the rule looks a bit like this, source LAN -> NVR IP, destination LAN -> Camera IP -> any (service) -> log -> gateway IP of NVR network if you want the NVR to be the only device that talks to the camera.

    The alternate rule is source LAN -> Camera IP, destination LAN -> NVR IP -> any (service) -> log -> gateway IP of the Camera network.

  • I reviewed my setup based on your last response. 

     

    My firewall rules were setup as "Edit Business Application Rule". Is this correct?

     

    My source is LAN -> NVR IP.

    My destination does not have an option of LAN. I can only select one of the port #'s. I selected port 1 which is the one that has my camera IP. (20.1)

     

    I don't see where I can select the gateway IP. What option is this under?
