To confirm the suspicions, yes, it is Tuya. It actually says so on the box. I'm still going to grab one, though: quite often the chipset can be reprogrammed and the fact that the specs say it's 2.4GHz only make me think they're using something pretty old-fashioned like an ESP32. Tuya stuff that advertises being dual-band generally isn't worth bothering with at all.

The hosting and external domain are the challenging bit and what needs funding. It has been awhile since I looked into any of this, but there wasn't an easy way to make such a thing last time I checked.

I think most of these are offloading the video feed to do the ai segmentation and analysis features that make these useful onto a hosting service. I do not expect low pricing as a feature advertised by anyone making such a comprehensive, ethical, democratically safe device. Billionaire exploitation privateer pirates have no qualms about financing hardware at break even prices for monetizing the pillaging of democracy due to the failure of citizens to remain skeptical and well informed.

All their smart lights are tuya, or at least the ones that I have. The esp are swappable but are soldered to the boards and their a pain to open but can be done.

I purchased some of their downlughts to add another project to the pile and to feed my curiosity.
