Security Camera network recommendations

Another one of these threads! I’ve been doing some research on security cameras for our house. So far, I’m looking to add at least two external cameras as well as a door bell camera. The door bell camera isn’t necessary to be on the same system as the security cameras but it would be a bonus if it were.

I would like local storage so I believe I would need an Nvr.

I’ve seen numerous posts like this indicating PoE with an Nvr is the most reliable way to go. However, I strongly prefer to not run any cat5 or Ethernet cable through the house.

On our porch ceiling and other areas where we want cameras, we have power outlets right there. I was reading about PoE intectors and switches and I’m curious if this can help out here.

If I were to get an Nvr and place it near my router, is it possible to get the camera signals using a Poe switch and/or injector?

What would be the benefit over getting a wireless camera? Would that slow down the Network?

Thanks on advance, my apologies if my terminology isnt quite right.
