I don&#x27;t know where your getting the first part from? As I said earlier I don&#x27;t know how they&#x27;ve chosen to protect themselves, I do hope they use certificates to authenticate camera&#x2F;client to verify that the client has access to the camera and that the camera verifies that the client has access.<p>I don&#x27;t think you understand how the technology works. Each camera does _not_ &quot;punch holes to a small number of other nodes&quot;, it setups a direct connection between itself and the client device (you) using a technique called hole punching... It&#x27;s just a simple connection between you and the camera, no server in between.
