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.
