Question about security camera system and its impact on my LAN and home theater.
I own two Reolink PoE security cameras.

At the moment, these devices are connected directly to a ReoLink HomeHub Pro. Earlier, they were linked through a PoE switch before connecting to the router. They stream recordings continuously to the Reolink hub around the clock. Previously, recordings went straight to my QNAP NAS for 24/7 storage. Now they appear on my HTPC monitor and the third monitor on my main computer. There has been no disruption to network performance at any time. Even when showing both camera feeds and a movie simultaneously, everything runs smoothly.
This is the current network traffic from my HTPC, with minimal activity beyond displaying the two cameras.
