are the G1 and g2 discontinued? do you know if the new versions are 'smart' (g5)?
When they say AI detection, is it something that requires an internet connection with their cloud?
If you'd like object detection with fully local processing/control, I'd highly recommend looking into Frigate. It uses a Coral TPU (basically a little USB stick that acts as an accelerator for detection) and works extremely well. It also has Home Assistant integration if you're using that. Frigate works with a wide range of cameras and all traffic stays on your local network.
They are discontinued, but you can still find them on ebay and whatnot.
I don't know about the g5 specifically, I'd assume that's just a fancy way of saying it's got good motion detection. AI gets thrown around to attract attention
I have a g3 camera and it doesn't require an internet connection after the initial setup if you create a local login for the NVR, but it does still require a Ubiquiti hardware NVR (the cloud key g2 and some of the routers also work), which could be a turn off for most people
