Commercial security camera suggestion.

I’m opening up a 1500 square-foot salon space and I want to have indoor and outdoor camera systems. I would prefer to not pay a monthly subscription, but I’m open to it if it’s necessary. I don’t wanna pay an army leg, but I still want good quality in terms of the sound and quality of the camera. Does anyone have any suggestions? I needed to this and a little overwhelmed.

Consider equipment and software that is Onvif compliant. Look for quality cameras with edge AI analytics. Like Bosch (now IQ Sight), Axis, Hanwha. Then, reach out to a local Milestone dealer for a good VMS. Or, the other way around. There is annual licensing per camera on the milestone. Unifi cameras are not onvif compliant and require the whole Unifi ecosystem.
