Home Network Setup: Ground Floor 90m2, Cat6 Cables, Ubiquiti WiFi Access Point, 4x 720p Cam & NAS

Hello specs!
I am preparing to do a network in a house under construction and I would like to ask if it has arms and legs.
The whole house is 90m2, only on the ground floor. Everything on cables category 6. I plan for WiFi 1 Access Point Ubiquiti, for such a house should be enough.
Will the network be overloaded with 4 720p cameras? For example, when streaming movies from NAS? I read that it is better to have a separate network but I would prefer to avoid complicated solutions.
I would like any suggestions.

You won't clog up to 100mbit networks with 4 cameras,
Generlanie everything OK. But why this main router with AC, if there will be a separate AP anyway? It is not better to put RB3011 in this place, then you will probably fall off the switch, because this one has more ports (10)

I always suggest 2 things. Run 2x more cables than you think you'll ever need.
Hide NAS. Since you are building, you can probably hide some storage space in the wall, "behind plasterboard", in the attic, etc., where you can hide it from thieves. I assume that the data on it will be important to you somehow.

If you are going to play ubiquiti, then look at unifi - router, switch, AP from unifi and you have beautiful management in one. I don't know if it makes sense to mix so many different technologies / producers in one network.
edit:
I do not understand why you need 2 switches?

Look at these devices:

And do you know how much a gigabit switch with POE out for cameras costs? It's probably cheaper.
But right, you can 1 switch / large router + 4 port POE power supply.

Managed 24 port switch with 24gbit / s throughput to ... 90m2 of the house? That not with a fly cannon?

I know because I have. I prefer to pay a little more and have order in cables and switches. I just have a Unifi system and I praise myself.

Nobody writes here that these are bad products. However, not everyone wants to pay PLN 1500 for a home switch that is simply boring. Even fewer people need a managed switch at home.

The point is that I already have this router, that's why I put it in the diagram. If its coverage was sufficient, I will not add AP.

10 ports is not enough to get rid of the switch. There are only a few devices in the diagram, but there will be more.

I did not think about it. How to hide this recorder? And I had a plan for all this to stand nicely and flash in a 19 "6U rack.

That's what I'm going to do

I've heard a lot of good about Unifi. There is an option that instead of 2 switches I will buy one specific Unifi + AC Pro. I have never had a managed switch and I don't know if service is difficult?
And I would change the router for something without WiFi. Will there be an advantage that the router would also be UniFi? One software for everything or something?
Is it necessary to have the Unifi controller running 24 hours on some server?

Yes, one panel for everything:
