If they come from China, you should assume that they come with back doors, so even if "security controls" are mentioned in the documentation there is no reason to believe they work.
The solution is either locally controlled cameras (without any network connection), or cameras with open source software. A possible option that might be adequate is a wired (not WiFi) camera connected to a firewall that does outbound filtering.
Technology. Its all good, until it ain't.
What did we ever do before technology came along to make our lives better?
We talked to each other and had lot less sensory overload. ;~)
i never understood everyone putting cameras hooked up to the internet in their home… that and appliances hooked to the friggin internet..

Perhaps also "but why would they bother with me, I'm not rich / famous / ... etc."
