I chose these cameras because they were able to work directly off SD cards and on a local network, the company nags incessantly to sign up and pay for an account with awesome stuff like facial recognition and AI crap. I didn't know there was an added upgrade to have my bedroom camera shared with the FBI.

They’re really not local; they have significant reliance on the cloud. You can’t configure without setting up the cloud integration. They pulled the RTSP firmware. If you want truly local, put something like Reolink PoE cams on a separate network and block all outbound traffic.
