These ip cameras have 2-3 different backdoors, which are even easy to discover. Probably more not so easy ones. If you have this in your home disable outgoing connections at router level, and you're safe.

This is bad advice and people should stop posting it. An IP or MAC based rule does not prevent a malicious device from exfiltrating data and neither does it protect a vulnerable device from other devices in the network.

IP cameras must be installed with a separate broadcast domain. Be that a separate switch or a port-based VLAN. The only connection if any should be through the trusted NVR/VMS.
