Is port 695 dangerous?
We have no specific security note for port 695. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for media & streaming services:

Which program uses port 695, and is it reachable?
Linux
sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :695' # process listening on 695
sudo lsof -nP -i :695macOS
sudo lsof -nP -i :695
Windows (PowerShell)
Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 695 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 695 netstat -ano | findstr :695
From another machine
nmap -p 695 -sV <host> sudo nmap -sU -p 695 <host> nc -zv <host> 695
Block it in the firewall

What is port 695 used for?
Port 695 is assigned by IANA to ieee-mms-ssl (IEEE-MMS-SSL).
Is port 695 TCP or UDP?
Port 695 is registered for TCP and UDP.
Is it safe to open port 695?
It depends on the program that listens on it. Open it only for a service you know and only to the networks that need it. Require authentication on cameras and media servers.
How do I check if port 695 is open?
On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :695'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :695", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :695" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 695 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
