How to stop a camera clipping through walls?

Question

So I'm making an FPS style game but I can't quite figure this out. I'm just using the camera as the player's view, as it was going to be hard to use a character model to do it. I've looked on a bunch of other posts, but couldn't quite figure out how to do it when I'm using translate as opposed to rigidbodies or character controllers.

Here's my player controller script: void Update() {
forwardInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical"); horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"); mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X"); mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y");

         if(transform.position.y < yBound || transform.position.y > yBound)
         {
             transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, yBound, transform.position.z);
         }
 
         transform.Translate(Vector3.forward * Time.deltaTime * speed * forwardInput);
         transform.Translate(Vector3.right * Time.deltaTime * speed * horizontalInput);
 
         transform.Rotate(new Vector3(-mouseY, mouseX, 0));
 
         float z = transform.eulerAngles.z;
         transform.Rotate(new Vector3(0, 0, -z));
     }

Would it just be easier to use rigidbodies or is there a way to do this by adjusting the transform?
