I have 6 Eufy cameras set up around my home. How do I get in on the impending class action lawsuit. Just kidding about the lawsuit, but I am disheartened to read this. I specifically chose Eufy because I didn’t want my videos stored on a cloud. I wanted complete control over where they are stored.

No cloud was also a selling point for me. I wonder if specific ports can be blocked to stop this behaviour? Anyone?

If you don't want any cloud connection, just block all WAN access for them.

If possible I'd like to keep connection open for software/security updates andclose off access for anything else. Is that possible?

Depends on how it's implemented, it may use different ports for different things.

If so, you could just close any port that it uses for streaming data. If the data is streamed via UDP it probably does use a different port than it does for updates, but you would have to look into it find out exactly what it uses.

If it doesn’t have network access, you also don’t need security updates.
