Why would you expose such a camera to the web?
The ability to monitor those spaces remotely is pretty valuable, and to back your security footage up onto an off-site device so it can't simply be stolen during a break in or similar.
This may be true for industry and rich assholes, but I doubt it is necessary for the average home camera? I mean why expose a camera to the web, that covers a scene where you would get naked?
The opposite is true - the average person cannot afford to have a person onsite watching the cameras, so unless they can view them remotely, there's pretty much no point to having them. If they're not exposed to the web, what reason would someone have to install them in the first place?
I'd think that they'd have them as a) a deterrent and b) to catch footage of a crime being committed.
Both of which can only really happen if the person they're capturing is a fucking idiot, honestly. These things tend not to be difficult to disable / hack
So they're just exhibitionists?
