Big update to Protect today. A few highlights:

Added support for Animal Detections
G4/G5/AI series: cat, dog, cow, sheep, horse, deer, bear
Added support for new Audio Detections, including classification and event filtering:
G4/G5/AI series (with mic): baby crying
AI series (with mic): speaking, car horn, car alarm, glass breakage, barking
Added support for Vehicle Type Classification and event filtering
AI series (except 360): car, van, truck, bus, motorcycle, bike, SUV
Added support for Vehicle Color Classification and event filtering:
AI series: black, blue, brown, gray, green, orange, pink, purple, red, white, yellow

Nice that they were able to add animal detections to the older G4 cameras. Also nice that they have finally added more value to the AI cameras, maybe I'll consider getting those now. I hope the new cheaper "Ultra" line of cameras which are coming soon will be as capable as the current G5 line.

Can someone who is adept at this stuff let me know if any of the below is decent for my purpose (moving from Eufy cameras for my house)? My goal is mainly to have good image quality, good enough nighttime performance, the normal alerts, etc. I'm getting now (I don't use a lot of the AI stuff but I want to know of is someone is spotted) and avoid the delays/missed captures from my wireless cams.

Reolink RLk8 turret
GNC224-XD/U (Is this a 1080P Hikvision OEM?)
GNC228-XD/U (the 4K variant?)

Regarding NVR, it looks like some have AI designations, is that AI-type features I'm familiar with from wifi camera world?

I'm not installing myself FYI, just comparing some options my installer sent me. Meeting with him so I'll ask him all this stuff, I just like to have some baseline ahead of time so I can ask the right questions/spot BS.

I asked my security company and they offered up a 4 camera POE system tied into Alarm.com for like 3800 dollars so I don't think I'm doing that
