Just unplug it when not out of town? Else there are lots of not-cloud solutions out there; though i'd assume the cloud to actually be safer.

How would the cloud be safer? If you have a personal setup you can control the level of security yourself, and a hacker would only gain access to your cameras, and not the cameras of everyone connected to the cloud. A lot less motivation to hack one person, than thousands.
If you are only storing images locally, an intruder could destroy or remove recordings.
Presumably a cloud storage company has more incentives to hire a security engineer, conduct security reviews and keep things updated.
