I have 2 suggestions based upon experience: 1) Try to go wired if at all possible. Wireless just adds an entire layer of flakiness and the sustained bandwidth requirements are tough to achieve. 2) Try to avoid using cloud-hosted storage if you can. It sounds great on paper, but your security system now relies on Telus/Shaw.

Seconding going with Reolink.
I have their 5MP RLC-410 PoE cameras and their 8 channel NVR. It was flawless all winter (the cameras are mounted outside on the garage). I'm planning on buying additional ones to place around the property.
