or if you think this rule is safe as it is, then I'll leave it as is.



The app. itself probably doesn't know - I'm guessing it's just a random port.

As it is, anyone who knows Port 70 is the target can connect - you ought to include at least the mobile app's IP address in the Firewall Rule - though I'm guessing that's dynamic too :(

The safest solution, is to enforce VPN-only access.

For a laugh, visit https://www.shodan.io/ and see what your 'attack surface' looks like...
"Security through Obscurity" is a long-dead concept.

If you have only a few known users I suggest as hornbyp says above (which is what I do for my DVR access) -

Set each user up as a "Remote Dial-In User" for VPN access. Assign each of them a static IP address on the connection.

Set Firewall rules to allow each of those IPs access to the DVR IP, with a following rule to block access to any other IP.
