WiFI bridge plus VLAN with a Purple

I have a VLAN query. I have a Purple on order because I want to upgrade my Blue, and because I want to use VLANS for home-work office, but I've never used VLANS before. I'm sure that I can figure it out but I've a query with how it would play with my current LAN set up. So, for a start I'll probably get a couple of TPLink EAP610 APs (or similar) and couple with an Omada controller. I've yet to get either. Currently in my loft I have a switch into which several POE CCTV cameras are connected, and that switch is connected to a WIFI bridge that connects to the home WIFI and therefore the cameras are visible on the home LAN. I want those cameras to be on their own VLAN to keep them away from my work devices. So the query is simple really: If the WIFI bridge is connected to an SSID on an EAP610 with a VLAN then would the cameras and anything else on the switch be regarded by the Purple as being on that VLAN? Thanks!

  If your AP can map SSID to a VLAN ID, and you can point your camera at the SSID, it is the same as assigning the Camera to that VLAN ID.
