VLAN setup on Smart switches
Hardware: one GS716T one FS726TP one unmanaged switch Network devices: PC's , Printers, NAS IP cameras, video server VoIP Polycom phones (upcoming install) PC's and general network device...
Just for the practical sanity I'd use the FS726TP and get rid of the power bricks and save all these power outlets. :-)
pfSense, good choice. Yes you'll have to set up the DHCP server for each interface and interface-VLAN according to your needs (no need for dhcp relay on the switch then).
If you want to pass traffic across your VLANs, you'll have to make according firewall rules, since pfSense' default is to block everything that is not explicitely permitted.
I'd like to recommend you the use of Aliases on pfSense to group ports, or IPs which in term makes your firewall rules slimmer and more human-readable.
