Reply to comment by CBus-Eagle in Eufy Security Cameras Have Been Uploading Unencrypted Footage Without Owners Knowing | Eufy apparently stores thumbnails on the cloud, even if you don't have a cloud account. by chrisdh79

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.
