I do that with my Unifi Protect doorbell. RTSP streams. Google Coral. Frigate. Scales very well. Do ML on low quality stream. Look/save the high quality stream. You do it all centralized, and you can put the camera(s) on a seperate VLAN. They don't even need internet access. If you run them over PoE twisted pair, the attacker would need physical access to perform MITM. Wireless, one should assume the camera is insecure (e.g. KRACK).

Wow, that's cool, learned something new today. Does that work better in your estimation than the UI Protect software?

The purpose of my comment had only been pointing out those features don't come onboard a $100 cam.
