Hacked DAHUA cam and added that names

I also had a AMDVTENL16-S5 16 Channel NVR Dahua on the same network at the cameras. I did not have p2p enabled on that, it doesn't have any extra users added to it. On a side note, while documenting my camera network (ip, model, mac address) I found this NVR on the network I forgot about which was causing my cameras to change their encoding to H265 instead of H264, causing BI to use a lot of CPU time.

Dahua DHI-NVR4116-4KS2/L NVR, 80Mbps/80Mbps (16-Channel Ip Video Inputs)​

I bought this because of the price. I tested it, and would not recommend it to anyone. You can only view 4 cameras at a time on web, a lot of camera disconnect and have to manually be reset.

Yeah, a 16 channel NVR with only 80Mbps bandwidth is robbery. That is way too low.
 
I have a theory, hunch if you will, that the “P2P” hacks mentioned by the OP originated with SmartPSS

I can’t prove it yet, but there seem to be suspicious coincidences with this and the recent abrupt discontinuation of SmartPSS and urgency to switch to SmartPSS Lite, along with disconnecting some older European P2P servers

As someone who ran SmartPSS for many years, typically all day, I recall various issues with bandwidth hogging and huge numbers of connections on some versions. I wasn’t running P2P at the time.

Lite doesn’t seem to have those same issues.

I’ve communicated with 3 users who supposedly were “hacked” and all 3 ran older versions of SmartPSS
