These attacks are showing that's it's trivial to achieve remote-code-execution on many of these devices. So in a way, yes, they do have self-destruct built in.

Simple connect to one, and then overwrite the boot partition. Or rm -rf /. Or even just use the firewall to block all inbound and outbound connections (an IP camera isn't very useful if you can't view the feed).
