Purchase a hub that offers such features, very few if any ISP hubs have such a feature.

Depends how you view security. People only put minor IoT devices like smart plugs, bulbs etc in guest WiFi networks because they don't trust the manufacturer and what communication is going on with the devices. With video doorbells & home alarms I would assume you trust the manufacturer otherwise I would question why you are allowing it to record footage of you and protect your home. 

The only real answer is you purchase a 3rd party router that has guest networks or VLANs and use that instead.

Many thanks to all responders.

A silly question.  If my home alarm sys is connected to Sky hub 4.2 (no video recording), will the hub manufacturer be able to get my personal info, like cards, banks, passwords...? thanks

No not unless the unit is physical compromised or the manufacturer is heavily hacked. Even then it would be a small risk and you'd have to be targeted specifically as the alarm system would have to be modified to be able to sniff network traffic and setup some sort of man in the middle attack.
