If you have a "proper" router which has a firewall built in, you can set the firewall up on that router. On the other hand, you could connect the camera to the network through the wifi on a dual-interface computer that *does* have ipfw (or netfilter, for the linux folks) and can be used as a firewall/router. Then again, I'm the paranoid type. I use FireHOL to build my firewalls, one on each host including the router itself (controlling what the host can send and receive), and a firewall on the router controlling network ingress & egress. FireHOL builds firewall with the policy of "everything that is not explicitly allowed, is denied." It's a great way to learn (very quickly) just how much traffic you generate on the Internet in the course of your daily activities.
