yet another reason for supporting local network only products
Where foes one get local cameras?
Reolink is one for example https://www.reolink.com/gb/ its a HK based (Chinese) company, however they work with local network access only.

But so far they do not need internet access to function so you can just block their access outside.
They are typically called 'webcams'.
