Hi all,

I have noticed that this IP camera from Dahua is trying to make outside connections to the following ports and IP addresses:

• 114.55.152.165 9084 TCP
• 115.29.249.74 8800 UDP

Are these connections specific for this camera model or do other camera's from Dahua also trying to make outside connections?

I am blocking the ports in the firewall to prevent it from making the connections and forward traffic.
There doesn't seems an option to disable this behavior.

I know that a few IP camera brands are using this to make life easier for people that want to use an App on there phone to see the live video from the cam, but this is also worry me that there is this traffic which you can't control.

FYI - for those curious as I was... this is what I found..

Just for the record, another way to disable it: Disabling P2P/Easy4Ip and Watchnet/Lechange Pro
