If I was designing a security camera I'd have a way to connect two completely different networks to it so all my cameras don't go out in case one of the networks goes down. I do the same with my servers (+ a separate management network).

If that was the case, two different connection methods would make sense, not using Ethernet x2 which is what's happening here. Being able to daisy-chain cameras seems more likely.

Don't think so. Having two different networks in a building is pretty common, but I haven't seen any in-building net not using Ethernet in the past 20 years. Fiber is still being terminated and turned to Ethernet usually.

Not saying it wouldn't be better - but I don't think that's what people would usually do.

They do this with public audio systems for similar reasons.

That seems plausible. Thanks
