Security Camera System

Hi, all. I'm trying to put together a front door security camera system. Here's what I'm thinking:

Wireless
One camera with two-way audio
Two monitors with audio

I'm semi-literate about technology for an old guy. We have a LAN for our computers. We have a Smart TV. We use Google Nest to improve the range of our LAN. I've managed to set all that up.

The reason for the monitors is that I use a smartphone but for some reason, I've never been able to get my wife to use one. So, I can look at the camera video on my phone but I would like a monitor on both levels of the house where my wife can see who is at the door and talk if necessary - maybe even bark to scare them away; she scares me that way. 😂

I've looked at Blink XT, and a bunch of others and I'm just not sure what I need to get this setup. I've looked at the camera/doorbells, but it seems most of them won't pair with a monitor. Any suggestions are gratefully accepted.
 
Check out cameras by Reolink on Amazon. I have a couple of battery powered Argus 2's with solar panels. There is an app for checking them on a smart phone as well as PC access. They have a bunch of different models depending on what you want (battery powered with wifi to POE based for the LAN).
