It's 2019, provisioned a 25 camera network with their NVR setup. One camera is constantly going up and down and throws 2-3 errors every 10 minutes, super annoying.
It's okay at best, problem being the NVR talks to a server within ALICloud, an Alibaba owned server that's stateside. That being said, Alibaba is still a Chinese owned company and thus owned by the Chinese government.
I actually segregated the entire IP Camera network into its own LAN, away from my main LAN, with only one to one NAT used to talk outwards to the internet (NVR, no cameras have a connection directly).
Need to do some more testing and configuring. I have a new buildout and I'm still using GW Security, but I came into it knowing if I have configuration issues, I'm on my own. Luckily I have a background in development but if I had no software dev/info sec experience i'd stay away from these cameras. The publisher of all of the software packages that come with GW Security is a Chinese National with a PHD in software engineering.
