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.

Presumably a cloud storage company has more incentives to hire a security engineer, conduct security reviews and keep things updated.
