Analyzing packet traffic #2
Description
I analyzed the packet traffic of my camera RLC-510A and I saw that it sends packets to the following external IPs:
- 35.180.209.250 (Amazon AWS)
- 3.86.245.53 (Amazon AWS)
- 239.255.255.250
The last IP is for UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)/SSDP (Simple Service Discovery Protocol) by various vendors to advertise the capabilities of (or discover) devices on a VLAN. MAC OS, Microsoft Windows, IOS and other operating systems and applications use this protocol (source).
I am wondering why the camera sends packets to Amazon AWS 🤔

isn't this just the reolink camera discovery? Since you can connect to the camera via the internet from your phone for example or locally as well without needing to specify a local or public IP address.
You could try switch off this feature on the camera and see if it still reports to these external Amazon servers.

I've found the UPnP option but I can't find the discovery one, where is exactly?
