New to networking, so go easy on me.

I recently bought a house and am finally wiring everything properly and moving into the UniFi ecosystem.

Current plan is around:

8–10 4K cameras

5–7 APs (old stone walls so coverage may be tricky)

2Gb fiber internet

My original idea was a UDM Pro Max with a 24-port PoE switch, but after reading a lot of posts here I’m now leaning toward:

Cloud Gateway Fiber

UNVR

Where I’m stuck is switch layout.

Would you rather:

run a couple larger switches, or

use several smaller distributed 2.5G switches around the house?
