My DVR and IP cameras are on a network with no internet access. My server has access to the camera network and I can connect to the server over a VPN for remote viewing. I definitely don't trust the DVR or the IP cameras. They are constantly trying to connect to a bunch of different IP addresses, some of which are in China.

This is a stupid hed. We can go without "From Iran to Ukraine" and get the same point across.

"From X to Y" constructions rarely hold up in proper journalism. So, "everyone" is in a very small geographic region? From Iran to Ukraine necessarily excludes, oh, say, the U.S., Russia, China. Also, anything several miles from the Caucasus.
