This one is a little out of my league.


I have just setup a ispy server at work to run a few different grid camera screens around the building. I have 13 cameras linked back to the cctv dvr channel streams. The DVR is on a separate network (for not business critical gear, laptops, phones) (Network A). I also would ideally like to have two IP cameras in the system that are on the work/business network (Network B).


The computer is on network A currently. I get a feeling that its not as simple as getting a second NIC and plugging in network B?


Edit: Bugga I just realised this would probably be better in LAN topic since its not unique to the cameras. Oh well 





If you have to run heating in winter, you don’t own enough computers.

It is about that simple, just use a different IP address range (or subnet) on each network, and don't specify any "default gateway" on the 2nd network.  

 

The IP stack on the PC will figure out that IP addresses on network 2 belong to the same subnet as the adapter on network 2, and route that traffic appropriately.
