Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.

i've had several IP cams running for a while now. all cam IPs are blocked for outbound connections to the internet via firewall rules. the only thing allowed to connect to them is internal, which is the NVR pc/software. the NVR remote access is then secured via HTTPS and stunnel + HTTPS certs + port forwarding, etc.

the scary ones are the "cloud only" cams, so they require a connection out to even work.
