I’m new here. We are remodeling and I’m interested in some outdoor lights, camera, doorbell that work well together. I have wired for Ethernet so could get a hub.

I’m looking at some Eufy products but wondering if I should consider others.

Three corners of the house have electrical receptacles for lights/cameras. Doorbell will also be wired.

More like a pain in the ass, cyber security is important, but the majority of people are not getting hacked in their homes, and the majority of a lot of the routers out there protect against it

I guess that depends on your definition of "hacked." If someone sneaks in and takes your personal information and sells it to nefarious people, it is a hack. But if there is a "click to agree" it is business as usual.
