As nice as PoE systems are and I have a few now, I am also really impressed with Ring floodlight cams and pro doorbells. They work well. Almost as well as a dedicated PoE system. Downside is monthly cost and you need a strong WiFi signal to them to get them to work well.

I've seen hundreds of Ring products installed and they work great. I've pimped the front door cam on this board for awhile now but it's not a true replacement for a surveillance system. You don't want your security cams on wifi much less on the same network as all your other devices. This goes for wired cameras too, they should be on their own newtwork. And like you said they need strong wifi to work. In most Ring installs I've seen the wifis usually need to be upgraded. This just adds to the cost of the system. You can get a wired system for much cheaper and it's going to do a better job of covering your property.
