VLANs - Will setting one up give me any benefits?

[Mike1983]

Hello

I have a long running, ever evolving project of tweaking my home network with the next plan being the addition of a couple of HD IP CCTV cameras. After starting shopping around and doing research etc I came across a forum post suggesting that IP CCTV installations should be installed on their own VLAN to reduce any degraded performance elsewhere on the network.

Now I assume these cameras should only send significant data under the following scenarios

1) When they detect motion - This will initiate a recording onto my NAS drive (they do not continually record, just on in-built motion detection)
2) When streaming the feed to the internet - This will only be me initiating the feed when I am away from home

Given the above, and if my assumption is correct, am I correct in thinking there would be no benefit to setting up a VLAN for the CCTV and a VLAN for everything else?

Your advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

Don't see a point here really.

Only benefit I can see here is learning how to set up a vlan

You'll gain nothing from a virtual topology.
