Cole Minor@mvsde And my family thinks I'm a tinfoil hat-wearing whacko because I said I'm not connecting my mom's Google account to the TV

Because they don't know better, are ignorant of this, or marketing made them do it (or financial incentives for insurance).
Also the fact that proper local surveillance setups are a maintenance burden, and expensive upfront. ML object detection? Need a GPU, or it will suck.
More than 1 camera? You need storage.
One drive is not a backup, run it in RAID-1 - but that will become a bottleneck with multiple cameras, so RAID-01, or RAID-10 - now you're at 4 HDDs already.

"IoT devices need to be fenced-off of the internet" isn't as widely known, as it should be, and it makes this even more complex to setup. The checklist for local home-security cameras:
- Create an IoT-WLAN (or wired IoT net), make sure devices can't phone home (the average FritzBox can't do that)
- Server/NAS that can handle N cameras at once with motion detection (easy), object detection (nightmares with GPUs)
- Depending on retention policies and reliability needs, 4x2TB+ drives
