Those WiFi SD cards probably aren’t any more secure than the cameras.
If the camera supports downloading video over USB, you can get a USB OTG cable to connect it to a phone or tablet. Otherwise a card reader is the way to go.
Agreed, my camera has USB, WiFi, and MicroSD. I never found the WiFi to be usable. Putting the card in a card reader is wayyyyyyy faster and easier and if you get a USB-C card reader it will likely work on your phone over USB-OTG as well as at home on a desktop PC. I pull the card about once a month to make sure it’s recording properly.
The camera’s USB interface tends to be rather slow, sometimes not even using the full USB 2.0 speed. USB-C card readers sometimes have USB 3.0 and internal ones are very fast, so you’re only limited by the medium’s read speed. And it allows a card swap if you have 2 so you can keep recording with a brief pause.
