Yep. If someone really really really wants to see live video of my side yard, they're welcome to it. No cams in the house, though.

If your firewall/router supports it, check the logs. I had a cheap camera and, even though I disabled the Bonjour stuff, it connected to some weird place (Tanzania?). Logs are your friend. Most of the cameras I have seen contact a server on AWS (if you want to access it from the Internet), but who knows what controls those servers. We use VPN to connect.

It's an https connection and users have to go through ngrok to even access a URL.

You can set up authtokens, IP whitelists, IP policies, etc etc. within ngrok and make it as restricted as you want. I think it's a reasonably secure means of access. Maybe not secure enough to guard the casino's cameras but for my needs it's sufficient.
