I want to block the backdoor of this camera and block its WAN access all together.

I can't help you with that but I'm sure someone else on this board can.

Try using Parental Control, and not allowing it Internet access at any time. Should still leave it usable within your LAN.

Thanks, I will try that.

The reason I asked is my IP camera is Foscam C1, I have 3 of them. All sudden, they were disconnected and need to be power off/on. Yesterday, one of them had IR LED light turned ON by itself (set OFF as default). Then I Googled this happening, backdoor calling home is mentioned.

I can confirm parental control does the trick, just did this to my chinesium cam for that exact reason a few days back
