Segmenting Cameras from the Office LAN: VLAN and ACL Basics
Design patterns that keep NVR traffic off workstations while still allowing jump hosts for SADP.
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.

Monitoring
Log management attempts; alert on unexpected scanning.
