How can this camera be accesed from WAN?

Hi,

Some time ago i tried to make my own server that could be accesed from outside of my LAN and failed because of the carrier grade NAT. I thought there was no other way around it other than getting a public ip. But recently, i have noticed that my WIFI camera can still be accesed when using mobile data. I didn't get public ip, i didn't even forward any ports. How can this be?

The only solution i see is that a company who made this camera also host a public ip server that acts as a middle man. Unfortunatly, i was unable to verify it, wireshark doesnt show me packets going in or out of the camera (if you know why i would like to hear about it too).

Thanks for all the help.
