NVR continually contacts many Dahua Websites

WTH! I installed a firewall in front of my NVR5208-8P-4KS2E, (firmware V4.002.0000000.7.R.240717) and noticed it continually tries to contact many Dahua servers, including their international servers in China and Europe.
Nowhere do I find any information, documents or warning that the NVR will be sending out information to these servers. And what is being sent, I do not know?
I find this to be very deceptive.

Not knowing what or why this is happening, I have the firewall to block all outbound traffic.

Thats P2P probably, contacting teh P2P servers to see if their are push messages and whatnot. . If you arent using P2P to access your NVR remotely, turn it off.
 
..my bad, those are allowed flows. P2P
