It's also generally counter to them being available outside of that
network.

This does not follow and is not a natural consequence of sealing the little buggers up so that they cannot affect the 
Internet (or you private networks).  Even if you lock you pet mouse in a cage, you can still feed it and clean up the 
shit in the cage.  It just isn't free to wander out and eat the floral arrangements on the end-table.

(web and proprietary interfaces needed, SSH and telnet not).
That's also not much I can do as a network operator.

Serious question... how?

Putting them behind a firewall without general Internet access seems to
work for us. We have a lot of cheap IP cameras in our facility and none of
them can reach the net. But this is probably a bit beyond the capabilities
of the general home user.
