You already got a good reply, but I can maybe add n+1 and some details:

It works similar, but requires some effort to get working (if you already self-host its peanuts think Frigate plus reverse proxy and I also use Wireguard to have it available from outside). My home connection is fiber 1 gbit, but with DSL (only 30 mbit upload) it worked fine, too.

Since I want to decrease my reliance on US cloud, I like to self-host. I also still rely on Unifi APs and the doorbell. Right now I wouldn't spend money on building a self-hosted server, given prices.

I should mention I use iGPU via SR-IOV on a VM. The Google Coral sits in the device unused.

I also immediately copy the stream to an offsite backup. This way, if I get coerced to destroy my doorbell feed, I will happily oblige.
