Google will require a lot of extra work as mentioned, Ring is supported but with limited functionality, Arlo is fully supported, Wyze has no official support but there is a user made mod that allows some functions

This is what my research found as well that HA would be great. That being said, I'm quite iliterate to do what I'm reading is required to set this up. a server and the idea of 'jumping through hoops' and having to go thru mods is daunting.
I guess my next dumb question would be IF I were to go down this route, are there services in Calgary as to someone who would set this up for me? I'm more than happy to look into and provide the equipment and guidance and all.
