As my wife and I are most likely going to continue working from home going forwards, I'm looking to upgrade our wifi network with a mesh system with the aim of also installing cloud storage cctv.
This area is completely new to me so looking for advice please.
Now there is a budget so nothing ridiculous or over the top - think good, functional, easy to use (or at least maybe a bit more difficult to setup, if its a bit more cost but better, but then can forget about it as it just works)
3 bed semi detached with large garden of 570m2
Current wifi setup = TP-Link Archer VR2800
So far I've found the below options
Google Nest
Google Nest Mesh + Nest Video Doorbell + 2 Nest Cam IQ Outdoor
I like this option as appears easy to use + AP's act as speakers for music/google assistant however quite pricey
TP-link
They appear to be selling at some point very similar mesh, doorbell and cameras to Google Nest at less cost with Alexa integration but no speakers built in
Unifi
Seems good but I'm confused what I would need to match the above
Any advice - am I missing something?
Also want to install outdoor floodlights for the garden, does installing the cameras, LED floodlights and doorbell require a professional electrician to install it neatly/correctly?
