Logitech at least, if not other IP camera producers too, aren't interested in security. My flatmate had a Logitech which "uploads in your Dropbox account", only to discover that it uploads to Dropbox... when the computer is on. As in, the Logitech driver downloads the files from the cam periodically, and you can set Dropbox to backup the data folder to the cloud. Pretty useless security if you have a laptop. And that's for a mainstream several-hundred-dollars camera. Besides, 3 years after leaving the flatshare, I can still see his home through my Logitech iPad app. If I inadvertently can rape his privacy through the official Logitech app (Note: I was on the phone with him and we were testing his camera), I'm afraid there's no need to worry about attackers. What a creepy world we live in.
