I have dysgraphia which makes writing difficult for me. I hope you can figure out what I mean despite my issues.
Forget about a camera, setup a local server to read the camera’s data and have that server send data to the internet. There are open source servers you can use, though I have not tested any so I won’t recommend one. Then have your firewall block the camera from the internet completely (you can open a hole to apply an update if you think an update would be helpful, just close it when the update is done).
The PineCube might be a useful camera for this, but AFAIK nobody has really written software for it. still it might be an option if you want to go through a lot of work.
Fastmail does a great job for me. Spam isn’t a problem with legitimate email providers anymore.
