LAN access from remote R7000
Can someone explain what is happening? I am using a Netgear router R7000 Nighthawk router: [LAN access from remote] from 52.197.117.189:59461 to IP for DLINK 2630, Saturday, Nov 19,2016 04:26:46...

Thanks to both of you. I disabled UpNP and the cams (DLINK) still work. However, it seems I don't get any 1 minute limit. The clock shows serveral minutes have passed now and I get no message it has stopped. There is no motion in the background but I dont think its an issue as the clock is still ticking....
Looks like by default this router enabled UpNP and DLINK's software set up each cam for the user without any warning of the implications.
BTW do you know why an Android device would show as an attempted outside connection? Is this due to an intruder just scanning for things?
Will check the logs later and report again to see if any outside connections.

Thanks for the information. Yes, there is a one minute limit of video, and then there is an option to continue watching for another minute.
I also have been thinking that there is a possibility they can peep into the video, but with all those cameras around, I would not be so concerned. But I will be careful with where I place the cameras…
