What is the purpose of introducing the untrusted "server" component? Is it intended to run in a different place than the trusted "camera hub" component, such as on a cloud server?

This is key to the claim that Privastead offers superior privacy to other solutions, but it's not explained.

My NVR [1] only uses a trusted server that is intended to be in the same building as the cameras. I similarly recommend not allowing the cameras to access the Internet, as their closed-source software is typically a complete nightmare in terms of privacy and security.
