Yeah, I agree with your sentiment. We pay with our privacy.
On my home I use a few cameras for our little one plus the cats. I use a VPN on my router, and the cameras cannot connect beyond the router. I can however connect from e.g. a smartphone (with WLAN or 4G) to the VPN and access the cameras. As long as your cameras utilise standards such as RTSP this shouldn't be difficult to set up.
