This is a pretty significant lift for most home networks, both in terms of cost and complexity, but I agree it’s the right way to go. If you’re upgrading to a PoE switch, you might as well go all the way and make it a managed switch.

I would assume that putting a router between the POE switch and the rest of the network would work too and basic routers are cheap.

When you get to the point of building out your own ip security camera system and then worrying that some hacker is going to roll up and plug in to one of your cameras. you probably already have vlans going.

The more likely scenario is camera firmware being compromised and either allowing outbound or inbound connections, either of which can be prevented with a firewall+vlan
