Explanation

Blocking the outbound port used by the webcam's streaming service on the router's firewall prevents the video feed from leaving the local network and reaching the internet. Even if the webcam software attempts to stream externally, the router will drop those outbound packets. MAC filtering controls which devices can join the network but does not restrict where those devices can send traffic. Static IPs and changing the SSID are network identification measures that have no effect on preventing outbound data transmission.
