like daddit for the fediverse but we all eat pizza with ranch and say "ope" a lot. all dads and non-dads are welcome. ranch on pizza is recommended but not required. ope is mandatory.

Isolate all IoT devices on a seperate VLAN.
Back when my child was a baby, I used one of the ptz amcrest cameras that was isolated on it's own VLAN that had no Internet access. This allowed for viewing the camera while connected to a local network or while connected to the local network via VPN.
interesting idea of VLAN'ing everything to a black hole. I was mulling a Eufy baby monitor. I feel like I remember Eufy being a no-no brand but, I'm willing to hear contrary positions.
It worked rather well since the majority of the time it was used was while we were on the same network, or could access it. Interestingly enough, I went out to my garage and still have that camera . Lmk if you'd like it. I don't have any use for it now days. Not sure if it is still supported in their app or if their app still supports the no Internet aspect. The model is IP2M-841W.
