If the crap security on these cheap cams is a concern, one thing that is pretty easy to do if you buy a "managed switch" or similar is put the crappy cheap IP cams on their own private VLAN with no internet access, firewalled from all the other VLANs on your home LAN, perhaps with a few exceptions for NVRs or devices who view the feed locally at home. I just assume these devices are broken and compromised from moment I plug them in, because inevitably they always are.
Cameras can't be accessed from your LAN, cameras can't access your LAN and they can't phone home easily. They just sit and feed the NVR with video content, offline. I don't even connect them to the internet for firmware updates unless there is some show stopper bug preventing them working as plain ole cams - they are just dumb RTSP endpoints.
