The IP cameras you can find with Google are because there's a lack of a firewall on them. It's possible to use devices on your local network without anyone knowing if you know what you're doing.

But because we consider electronics "consumer products" we don't have qualified professionals installing them, so we get doors without locks on them.

I think you’d be surprised how many cameras have NAT-Traversal turned on and can be accessed via web/app even behind a router.
