Some cameras merely use a central server as a way of finding your camera by a name (ala dynamic DNS, mine initially lets you find it by serial number, if I recall correctly) and for traversing NAT. One option to using these kind of cameras more safely, might be if your router has a demilitarised zone (DMZ). The router will forward specific traffic to it, and not allow it (your camera) to interact with your LAN. This does require that your cameras are connected directly to the router, not sharing a switch with your LAN. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.14.14-200.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jan 19 13:27:06 UTC 2018 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
