After compiling and uploading the code to the ESP32, it’s very unlikely and difficult that someone can access your network credentials… unless you share the code with someone with the credentials on it.
I recommend taking a look at this topic: https://www.reddit.com/r/esp32/comments/197m7yj/can_you_extract_the_wifi_credentials_from_an_esp32/
Some routers allow you to create a separate network for guests and IoT devices. If your router supports that, it may be a good practice.

thank you Sara. I have an other question.I am trying to control the esp32 cam from anywhere using the arduino iot cloud. I want to combine the camerawebserver example with the arduino iot cloud possibilities. I want mainly capture and save streaming pictures. But i dont know how to reduce the cpp codes of the camerawebserver example.

Hi.
Unfortunately, at the moment, we don’t have that specific example.
We have something similar with Firebase. You may want to take a look and see if something might apply to your project:
