Reolink cameras are garbage and their reddit moderators are unprofessional trunk slammers

If the OP would like to compare firewall logs, here’s one of my Dahua cameras on my LAN. It’s not restricted from contacting the Internet anymore than any other device on my LAN, it just doesnt.

I think it's honestly a shame there are this few security cameras from trustworthy cameras. It's either data-harvesting big tech corps or chinese corps with ties to the CCP building them. I am waiting for ROOT / rootprivacy.com to release theirs, I hope it actually lives up to the privacy expectations.
