Segment office LAN from camera VLANs
Segmentation patterns for networks: isolate CCTV VLAN traffic from office LAN devices while allowing controlled SADP access through jump hosts.
Blending cameras with user PCs increases lateral movement risk. Preferred design: dedicated CCTV VLAN, no direct internet access for devices, management only from jump hosts, and explicit ACLs between VLANs.
SADP reality
Technicians need a controlled path during provisioning—use time-limited access ports or a staging VLAN, then move gear to the secure segment.
Monitoring
Log management attempts; alert on unexpected scanning.
