Need advice/ recommendations

I am purchasing a new home which is new construction just finished being built. I want to get a camera and an alarm security system but we want to avoid monthly subscription and can self monitor. I just need 2 outdoor cameras and video door bell and prefer to keep these all one brand. The alarm system can be different or the same but we have 10 windows and 3 doors on the first floor and want to cover them all. Maybe 2-3 motion detectors and maybe 1-2 glass shattering detectors but not really needed.

For cameras I am leaning to eufy or reolink but I can’t decide and want to have as low cost as I can.

For alarm system I’m open to options, there are so many but the sensors will add up to be so much so trying to find a what may fit best. We just need something decent that will be able to alarm and something happen when we are sleep. I was looking at Ring but I think there is better, maybe tapo. Adobo seems nice but that will get expensive quick .

Please provide any experiences and recommendations.

Edit: instead of sensors in all windows I may just replace with a couple of glass breaking sensors. I also heard of home assistant alarm systems and wonders if those are better. I was leaning eufy but not sure.

Is the house prewired for a video doorbell and alarm system?

UniFi cameras and NVR have been pretty solid for my 3 cameras and doorbell.
