At this point, with everyone touting fancy features, I don't know if that's a good thing, although working locally is - I expect a lot more AI to get rolled out in all sorts of products (most that probably don't need it) largely as a way to force you into a cloud-based subscription.
Some local smarts are useful.
Reolink cameras are now pretty good at spotting the difference between burglars, cats, and trees blowing in the wind.
They've just got to be truly local, and the cameras themselves without bullshit that stops things working if you block internet to them.
