The cameras are on the same network, or worse, on the same WiFi?
If everything is on the same WiFi, then you need a single gigabit Ethernet port as you will never be able to saturate it

I would prefer to keep the cameras off of the WiFi. I don’t want them accessing the internet. I have never used containers before which Frigate will be on so hopefully there is a way to disable internet access to a container. Otherwise though the SBC comes with two 2.5Gbit ports and I believe my router is at least 1Gbit though regardless I plan to upgrade it.

that’s not about them accessing the internet or not (if you don’t have a dedicated VLAN just keep empty the gateway in their network config), it’s that at 2-6 mbits each, they saturate the bandwidth fast if everything is on the same network, especially wifi

Well I’ve certainly got a lot more learning to do and these projects give me something to apply my knowledge to. I’ll be looking more into Vlans and also how to beef up my throughput (if that’s the right term to use here).
