Various viewing stations throughout a house?

A live viewing station is hardly the "spine" of your camera system. That would more aptly apply to your network cabling and hardware.

The camera viewing apps for fire tv, android tv, phones, and tablets aren't google or amazon apps they're developed by third parties. They do run on software make by google or amazon. You could always add some redundancy to the devices that you're using to view the cameras.

My opinion is that Google knows more about what has happened on the screens of every single forum member here than any foreign government.

That does raise the question of what kind of devices you use to watch content on your TVs and what type of phones / tablets you have.
Apple TV? Cable / SAT & BluRay only? Roku? Fire TV? Chromecast? Plex? emby? Do you have an old Palm Pixi cell phone you're somehow keeping alive? If you make it too inconvenient to use, people in your household won't use it.

One way or another try to separate the clients that view the cameras from the actual cameras and device(s) that record the cameras such that nothing on your network can interfere with the operation of your cameras and a compromised Chinese camera can't backdoor your network.

So then you're okay with using an Amazon Fire Stick and TIny Cam Pro to view your cameras?

I have an arrangement with that government, I won't invade them and they won't send me Viagra adverts.
Google not so much.

Worse than that, I use the internet, hence I know Google's business model to harvest my information.

It is a price for survival in a high-tech world.
I don't like it, and where there is a realistic choice I choose not to use it.
I don't follow the logic that they already know I eat cornflakes, so I may as well tell them my inner thigh measurements.
