I have several cheap chinese cameras (Sricam) in a separated VLAN without internet access in my home LAN. The camera are connected via ONVIF to a Raspberry running [motion](https://motion-project.github.io/).

better off using VPN from the camera to your camera server … within your home LAN, unless you can create the camera firmware.

Many seccam have IRC beaconing of which your gateway should be firewalling off.

My camera server is in a separate VLAN and the traffic from cameras pass through a FW to reach it. The cameras cannot reach internet or any other hosts inside my home network. According to the logs on the FW, my cameras are beaconing in China through DNS.
