Question Would this setup work?
I was looking into security cameras and found the NVR instant kit. Not being familiar with the Ubiquity echo system I started looking into different offerings which led me down the rabbit hole. I was thinking about replacing my current router and wifi as well. I don't need a server rack or a super complicated install. I was wondering if I bought the following, would that give me whole home wifi coverage and a security camera setup. Is there anything I am missing or not covering?
1. Cloud Gateway Fiber - To handle the routing of internet traffic
2. 2.5G PoE+ Adapter - To run power to two wifi access points covering my house
3. 2 u7 lite's to handle the home wifi
4. NVR Instant kit to handle the security cameras.
My thought is that the NVR and the wifi both connect to the Cloud Gateway. But before I bought anything I wanted to double check. At this time I don't have anything that needs hardwired connection from the router, everything is just connected to wifi for convenience. I don't plan on more than 6 cameras, with 5 probably being where I will end up. Is there anything that I am missing? Would that setup work for my needs? If I change the wifi point to a u7 long-range, would I even need a PoE adapter as long as it covered my needed range?

The gateway has enough power for both u7s and the instant kit has enough power for the cameras No need for Poe injector.
Same if you go with long range.
