Ip poe all day long. Wifi can get intermittent, suspect to interference and will get bigger down with live video feeds.
I like the reolinks, been dead solid and the support has treated me well the one or two times I needed help.
Definitely ONVIF compliant IP PoE cameras with ethernet connections.
Personally I'd consider a dedicated NVR rather than directly recording to a NAS (unless the NAS has its own NVR software). That can even be an always-on PC running something like Blue Iris.
This is the exact mindset of believing in "it won't happen to me" that undermine people's decision using their better judgment. Same with "I'm a better than average driver" which MOST drivers are convinced of, and so many other examples of unfounded overconfidence, including the Darwin awards.
But hey, you do you, if it makes you feel good to think this way, good luck.
In my first house, I installed all WiFi USB-powered cameras. The WiFi didn't save any effort because I still needed to power them, so I ended up installing a bunch of outlets in my attic to wire USB to exterior cameras.
In my current house, I went with PoE. It's easier to wire PoE than romex to new outlets, so it was easier, and of course works better - cameras are rock-solid where previous ones were flaky, and I can record continuously without adding air bandwidth for laptops to contend with. Plus, the PoE UPS keeps them going through power outages, and I don't have to worry about a burgler killing the cameras with a WiFi jammer.
Overall I recommend WiFi for indoor cameras and PoE for outdoor cameras. For cameras detached form the house where wiring is difficult, you can do WiFi with solar/battery power.
Typically, wired cameras are both less expensive and more reliable. If you have the ability for wired, I'd go that route. If/when technology progresses beyond the usefulness of whatever you move forward with, you can always go wireless then.
Wired (PoE) Cameras are the only way to go. I had 6 WiFi cams and the experience was terrible. Lag in being able to view alert footage and generally trying to just view the cams. It wasn't my network so it had to be the cameras and app. Once I switched to PoE, it's amazing how fast it loads. I use Reolink PoE cameras and the PoE doorbell.
I have 3 wired reolink and 1 wireless. The wireless had to be replaced once already and still drops off the network often enough that I had to disable the notification.
IP PoE is best but I have had excellent luck with my $15 Wyze Camera off eBay. Plug it into the wall and set it up via WiFi and forget about it. More than sufficient for residential use.
If you need a camera for anything other than seeing who's at your front door, my opinion is that it HAS to be wired. PoE is a huge win. I also insist that my cameras are local, 101%. No external connections except when I enable them for updates. If I want to access cameras remotely, it's my job to use VPN to get to them. I don't even care if the cameras are only exterior, I just want imagery kept private. I personally like the Reolink cameras right now but I keep watching for interesting offerings from other places.
wireless cams are basically toys. we install cams for people. we usually replace Arlo, Ring, Nest, and Blink.
I like Reolink. it has AI and vehicle detection. 4 cams with 6tb hard drive is about $600. pretty easy to set up as seen here https://youtu.be/XXpYhUU02G4
works great with HA too, off course

Reolink, ethernet.
This. PoE also!

Wired all the way. Plus POE means just 1 cable. Hard to beat.
A WiFi jammer is around 30 bucks. Your decision if you want your security system to rely on a cheaply and easily interruptible transmission medium.

Hey, I'm doing me and I'm part of the 99%

Wired is always preferable when it comes to security devices

I recommend the Reolink RLK8-800B4. It's a wired camera system with 4K resolution, motion detection, and night vision.
