I have multiple Reolink cameras and can recommend them. Everything can run completely locally with their app and the cameras blocked in the firewall while recording to a SD card. You can let the cameras connect to their servers for push notifications and remote access if you like (I unblock them in the firewall sometimes if I’m going to be away and want to access them).
The cameras have onboard ML that can detect humans, cars, pets, and motion, and it’s fully possible to leverage those events in HA, making a something like Frigate and a Coral TPU unnecessary.
Personally, I just use them with the app, as well as RTSP streams from VLC, though I did have local push notifications setup with HA in the past for human detection from my Reolink doorbell.
