Ring Security Cameras
Strange protocols used by Ring Camera - Bit Torrent and Back Orifice
I have a ring doorbell pro and a Ring Stick Up Cam Elite HD camera (Pet Camera in the kitchen). I recently installed a security router that analyses traffic and I noticed odd usage from the kitchen camera. The doorbell has only three items: HTTP Protocol over TLS SSL, Sina Video, PPTV (PPLi e). But the StickUp Camera also has Back Orifice, Zeroconf, BitTorrent Series. Is this normal? Could it just be incorrect reporting by the security gateway? Or has the camera been hacked?

What device is this?? I bought a cheap wifi extender and I would love to know whether it's transmitting anything to China.

It looks like the app is Ubiquiti's UniFi Network App, which is used if you have Ubiquiti Controller for WiFi, etc..

My cameras are also registering traffic for Back Orifice, Zeroconf and BitTorrent. I look forward to Ring responding to this thread.
