Canadian here who used both small and big providers with pixel phones (3, 5 and 7 pro) bought directly from Google (not financed through the provider).

Not all smaller providers provide 5G but they all have LTE or LTE+. I had 5G working with my Pixel 5 without issue when I was with one of the large providers. I'm with a smaller provider now on my Pixel 7 pro and have no issue connecting to LTE(+).

But, you also mention the Pixel watch. I never used a watch with a sim card and I have to say that it is not always clear from the provider's website if they are supported or if they will provide a esim for them or not, and at what cost. This is something that looks a lot more straightforward when with Apple than Android.

Reolink. Not too expensive, can be run local only, with their cloud or both. PoE or WiFi model available. I had mine for a year and I'm quite happy with it.
