  • I did this using a POE switch to both power the cameras and also have that entire switch on a VLAN. On my OPNSense, that vlan only has permission to send or recieve packets to home assistant which is on my main LAN. They have no other access to anything including each other on the camera vlan.

    Other than the initial setup, the only interaction I have with the cameras is via home assistant. This allows them to be completely isolated and still have remote access as per usual with home assistant.

    My HA is using the all in one VM setup on Proxmox. I would highly recommend HA installed as a VM rather than Docker due to the ease if installing plugins. After that the above setup will keep your IOT devices nicely isolated.






  • One thing to consider is that once zfs is setup there really is no significant intervention that is needed. I probably haven’t done anything to my proxmox zfs array in years.

    I know its almost a meme to say just learn command line, but unfortunately in this case it will really help you understand what is happening and it also just takes a few commands to setup up once and then never worry about it again.

    After the inital setup, the zfs GUI will be pretty much unused.

    For commands I don’t use often, i use a note taking software to keep track of commands I used during setup because years go by before I use it again. I find the GUI often changes in that time making it harder to replicate whereas command line is the same and easier to document.
