It should work, but you need to keep in mind that if there is a device
that listens to traffic from both cameras, then it must be capable
of participating on multiple VLANs. Also, typically (although it
doesn't have to be that way), a VLAN corresponds to an IP subnet,
so this might affect the way you assign addresses in the network.

As multicast was mentioned I would presume the use of IP
multicast addresses. Probably comp.protocols.tcp-ip would be
a better group for the IP specific part of the question.
