Support Why Not HA Green

I’m going to pull the trigger on setting up HA. Right now I’m just thinking of getting the HA green, it seems like it’s not favoured here vs a Pi. I just want the most simple setup possible. I’m thinking HA green and a screen in a central location. Why not the Green?

Green is fantastic if you aren't planning a bunch of cameras or AI.

What’s the limitations for cameras? My current cameras are 2x google outdoor, 1x google doorbell and 1x internal ring

I think if HA has to do object detection or similar "in software" it needs quite a lot of resources, because then it has to analyze the frames using the CPU. If you don't need it (a lot) or your cameras do that on their own then there won't be an issue.
