A VLAN is a separate broadcast domain in ethernet networks. VLANs prevent communication between different VLANs unless you set it up for inter-vlan routing. Thats why they suggest putting these untrusted devices on a separate VLAN (isolation). Typically you assign a whole new group of ip adresses for each Vlan ID.

For example: camera network - vlan 10 - 10.0.10.0 255.255.255.0

wifi network - vlan 11 - 10.0.11.0 255.255.255.0

wired network - vlan 12 - 10.0.12.0 255.255.255.0
