If you are going to use a cloud camera system, look into the company and make sure that they have proper E2EE.

An NVR is probably the best bet, but if you want a dumb consumer cloud cam, HomeKit Secure cameras like Eve are a reasonable solution. It’s all encrypted in iCloud, which cops still hate, which is a good sign.
