Hello 

Im moving and want to set up my first home network with cameras. I also have a shed in the garden as a games room, so I need Wi-Fi and Ethernet to run it. This is my rough flow for it.

Note* I am getting 2GB from the ISP and went with Unifi for a hopefully simple and cohesive experience. 

 

ISP WAN → Cloud Gateway Max (UCG-Max-1TB)
UCG-MAX → USW-Flex 2.5G 8-Port PoE Switch (Main House)
         From the Main Switch:
               U7-Lite Wi-Fi AP
               2x UVC-G6-Turret Cameras (Front & Back of house)
               TV
               Cat6a cable (2.5G) run to the shed
Cat6a Cable → USW-Flex 2.5G 8-Port PoE Switch (shed)
               From the Shed Switch:
               U7-Lite Wi-Fi AP
               PC
               1x UVC-G6-Turret Camera

Thank you for any help.
