The problem isn't the video feed per se, it's that the business model of IoT companies, especially cheap IoT companies, include selling off customer data to advertising and other surveillance capital type entities.

So, cheap hardware, lax security at best, and a business model that requires all their devices to have an internet connection to function properly, or access its full feature set.
