there are two types of access.
Third party and direct access.
third party your cameras and devices all connect (encrypted) to a "website" which you then connect to encrypted. Both you and the cameras have a connection to the third party site (that's how Ring works)
Then there's the direct connection which requires you poke a hole in your home router allowing direct access inside your home network. Much more dangerous.
The third party security has been beefed up with two factor authentication for you and your devices. makes it much harder to spoof.
