This is a great idea. I have a need where I can let my maid and gardener in by remotely opening the gate using my phone but this would secure backdoor keys very conveniently.

From my TV I only have two active cables, one to the soundbar (ARC) and the other to a 4 port HDMI switch.
The Nova works perfectly with this arrangement. Soundbar is a JBL and TV is a Samsung.
When I first starting using surveillance cameras, I thought wireless was obviously the way to go. Bought a ton of Escam cameras from AliExpress or Banggood (one of the two). Whilst they worked ok, I found that in the event of a power failure and subsequent restoration of power, the cameras would...
Don't bother with the Long Range. U6 Pro will work fine with a decent PoE switch. I have a bunch connected to Netgear GS724TP switches.
As someone else mentioned, the trick with WiFi is not to have one mega powerful AP trying to cover the entire suburb. I have eight (8) Mikrotik APs in my house...
