I've installed Thingino on my cameras such as this. Cheap camera + custom (local only!) firmware is a good solution imo.

No guarantee that it'll be perfect either, obviously, but it's open source and actively maintained. Highly recommended.

Thingino is great for many other reasons but security is not one of them - definitely segregate those cameras on a locked down VLAN. The web interface is HTTP-only and it uses the same credentials as root SSH access on the camera, and most of the web ui handling code is highly questionable to say the least.
