It seems like the Reo Duo PoE has good recommendations. Is there any reason to steer clear of this setup?
Reolink is probably the absolute best value there is. You can get better video, particularly at night, with more expensive options, but it's hard to be disappointed with Reolink for the price paid.

Another quick question regarding the detached shop. I would like to have 2 PoE flood/camera devices and also another Cat6 hookup for a smart TV. Is there anyway to run a single cat 6 then piggyback to those devices, or will I need to run 3 separate cables (one for each device).
One cable connecting the house to the shop (but while you're running might as well run 2 and leave one unused), and then you need a PoE switch in the shop from which you can run multiple other cables to your cameras/TV/wifi AP/etc.

How far away is the detached shop?

10-4, never thought of a switch in the shop. Appreciate that advice. Front of shop is approximately 50 feet from the rear of home, and it is a 30x40 structure. I’m guessing that it would be around a 70ish foot run from home switch to shop switch.
