IPC-HDW5231R-ZE Rhea V2.800.0000016.0.R.200430 Latest new firmware

So I decided to update to my IPC-HDW5231R-ZE cameras to the following firmware. I hadn't updated them for a long while.
Code: 
DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000015.0.R.200430

Everything went smoothly.

Cameras are on their own virtual lan, segregated from any access to the internet with exception of talking the the NVR.

However now my logs are showing the camera trying to connect to the following IP EVERY SECOND:

This certainly wasn't happending before.

Can I please assure you that I have DISABLED
P2P
DDNS
CGI Service
OVIF Service
Genetec Service
UPnP
SNMP
Bonjour
RTMP

And any other ones I have forgotten. Please do not mistake me trying to be arrogant, but I'm not a beginner here. Toggling each of those services on and off shows new packets being dropped at they attempt to connect outwards. When I disable them,THOSE packets stop but the connection attempt to 8.208.23.136 (and sometimes 8.208.23.107) ALWAYS continue.

Any thoughts?

Thanks Andy. Do you have V2.800.0000016.0.R.200605 available for download?

@pilotsnipes

I have 3 cams on V2.800.0000015.0.R.200430 (also segmented on their own vlan), but i'm not seeing any outgoing connection attempts.
Aliyun is China's biggest cloud provider (similar to Amazon AWS), so the whois lookup doesn't reveal anything. You may need to wireshark the cameras, but it may be tricky as your logs show it's all UDP traffic.

I'll keep an eye on my logs to see if anything changes.

Thanks,

Yeah I'm just after capturing a few packets. They're all the exact same. Some sort of stun server connection? Obviously some service is still running on the camera but I can't for the life of me find out which one.

I have a couple questions. Regarding traffic, I am running a duel NIC setup, since my cams are segregated on a different lan port should I only be concerned with traffic on that port? Running wireshark without adjusting anything only shows traffic between cams and an ip on the same subnet. On my main port I do see traffic from my BI web server ip and external address (mostly Amazon and cloudflare). Second question is I have a 5831r-ze, updated to V2.800.0000016 and lost zoom control in BI. Downgraded to V2.800.0000015 but still no zoom control in BI. Anyone else experienced this or should I delete and add the camera back?
 
Latest new firmware has been updated, please check on page 1 for downloading.

I initially update a single cam, left it running and today updated all my cams.

The only real oddities I noticed is that on 1 cam the update disabled NTP and for all 6 the update enabled sub stream 1 whereas I had stream 2 enabled.

Apart from this, the cams are working as normal.
 
I have 2x IPC-HDW5231R-ZE and 1x IPC-HDW4231EM-ASE. After upgrade and reboot all cameras forgot substream 1 audio setting. I set it again, but after next reboot it was lost. I had to go back to older FW and all is good again.

That's probably why US banned Chinese cameras.

The same issue with IPC-HDW4431EM-ASE and IPC-HDBW4431F-AS :(
Reverted to 191202 release
 
So, @EMPIRETECANDY, do you have any insight as to why, after installing
DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000015.0.R.200430, cameras are all-of-a-sudden trying to contact a server in Alibaba network space?

@pilotsnipes, have you tried installing DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_NP_Stream3_V2.800.0000016.0.R.200605.bin to see if the problem goes away?

how did you determine the cams were trying to communicate outbound?
