curaga has pointed to an important aspect, and it looks more obvious reason for OPs problem.

Thanks to everyone for their comments and suggestions.

That these camera's are transmitting so much data somewhere autonomously is worrying !

Sounds like I need to figure out if our TP-Link td-w8990 ADSL router has a built in firewall for starters.

Is that model number a typo? Google insists on returning results for  td-w8980.  Typing in the LAN address of the router
into a web browser should give you its web based interface.

Hi remus
This is a manual for the 8980:

According to section  4.14  it does have a firewall.

remus:
Yep its a TP-LINK TD-W8980

Thanks for the manual link.

I've set a firewall rule stopping all outgoing traffic from IP Range of the Camera's but not the NVR.

Our uploads have returned to a normal rate, but I'm unable to access the NVR via app on my phone now. I'm going to re install it to be sure.

Will post my findings.
