With face detection? License plates? Tamper protection?

I'm guessing you're thinking Reolink or other Chinese ultra-commodity cam. It's fine, it's just in a different product class and ecosystem - and that's where enterprises fit in, they want that support+ecosystem and not DIYing.

Reolink CX820 8MP $129 https://reolink.com/product/cx820/

Unifi G6 8MP ~$300 https://techspecs.ui.com/unifi/physical-security/uvc-g6-dome...

Avigilon H6A 8MP ~$1200 https://www.avigilon.com/security-cameras/h6a-dome

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).

I have rather a lot of Reolinks ... and Frigate on Home Assistant. The cameras are on a VLAN with rather minimal internet access (ie none) I make pool.ntp.org etc resolve to my own NTP servers too.

I never really thought of Ubiquity as enterprise always felt more of the premium small to mid sized business but I am sure some enterprises use them.
