and of course my cameras store everything locally

That's the biggest thing. Just store (and access) footage locally.

Being able to view the cameras remotely is a nice idea in theory, but it raises so many privacy concerns. Just not worth it in most cases. How often would you actually open some app and actually look at the remote video feed?

No, it's best to just skip that feature and be local only, with no internet connection at all.
