Hi,
Thank you for sharing your experience and for providing the detailed background information. We understand your concern, and we take security‑related feedback very seriously.
Normally Tapo camera operating within a local network cannot be directly “hacked”. Based on the screenshots you provided, the access attempts you observed appear to be coming from external IP addresses.

To help us investigate this further, we kindly ask you to check and provide the following information:
1.Please check the UPnP setting on the camera by going to Camera Settings > Advanced Settings > UPnP, and ensure that UPnP is disabled.
2.In the list shown in your screenshot, could you please tap the small arrow on the right side of one of the entries to see if additional details are available? If so, please take a screenshot and share it with us.
Once we receive this information, we will continue the investigation accordingly.

In the meantime, as a precautionary measure, we also recommend:
1. Resetting the camera and setting it up again
2. Changing your Tapo account password
3. Enabling Two‑Factor Authentication (2FA) in the Tapo app to further enhance account security

Regarding your question, the region where the camera was purchased (US vs. Canada) would not cause the behavior you described, nor would it result in increased security risks or targeted access attempts. 
That said, we would like to kindly note that products purchased in the US are not eligible for warranty service in Canada, as warranty coverage is region‑specific. This does not affect normal operation, but it is important to be aware of in case warranty support is needed in the future.

Best Regards.
