Low power security camera (self.homeautomation)

Any low power security cameras that would recommend with night vision and decent quality? Ideally non-smart without a cloud option as I would like to connect it directly to an offline server with a cable or wifi (although not having a wifi might be better)

If you'd like object detection with fully local processing/control, I'd highly recommend looking into Frigate. It uses a Coral TPU (basically a little USB stick that acts as an accelerator for detection) and works extremely well. It also has Home Assistant integration if you're using that. Frigate works with a wide range of cameras and all traffic stays on your local network.
