I'm on the verge of buying an unmanaged switch to save a few quid, but then I've momentarily started wondering whether VLANs are the way to go again.
I'm more bothered security wise by things like Hikvision and YiHome cameras etc. than the more mainstream brands, Philips hue, hive etc. but I am contemplating the benefits.
I use my mobile & wifi frequently to access most of that stuff so the care free person in me thinks it's more hassle than it's worth, but I know it's potentially not the case though.
List of devices...
Hive
Philips Hue Bridge
Hikvision NVR + camera wired
3 x YiHome cameras
Roon Rock NUC
2 x QNAP
Sonos (Various)
...usual console, PC, TV, firesticks etc.
So out of the above, I'd like to segregate YiHome from everything else, but have it accessing the web so I can use the cloud service via my phone, just not sure if it's worth the hassle or not though.
