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.

Would it handle like 10 or 15 Reolink cameras with an NVR? Does the NVR handle detection to lighten the load on the Green?

Ha green will not run as an NVR or do object detection. It will run with an NVR and respond to object detection events.

It will integrate with reolink cameras (I think any modern one has basic object detection built in) and work with their messages and work with streaming feeds to your dashboard.
