The issue is not with DIY-ing it. It's with locking it down with their mothership.

- michaelt 4y agoI suspect there's no easy solution to this. As a power user, of course I prefer to connect to devices directly rather than through a sketchy cloud service. But we've also got to acknowledge that the networked security cameras of 15 years ago regularly ended up making their videos public to anyone with a web browser - or becoming part of a DDOS botnet. So I can see why manufacturers aren't in a hurry to ask users to forward ports from their home firewalls any more.
