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.
