Powerline or Deco Mesh for Tapo 360 camera on Outbuilding with power.

I want to add a Tapo 360deg camera to my garage which is located approx 25m from my house. The garage uses power from my house (fuse box in house turns off power to garage which also has its own fuse box).

My Tapo camera can use wifi or Ethernet, would I be best using a tp-link powerline (Ethernet/wifi) or a tp-link deco mesh to provide an internet connection to the camera?

thank you!

    I'm unfamiliar with the Deco Mesh; but I imagine it would have the advantage of improving wifi out in your garden.

    I personally used Powerline, because I was utilising the POE of the camera.
    Just as well, because I ended up putting in another camera with ease as everything else was there.

    Thanks, I've ordered a powerline one tonight as googling I think it may be the best option, I can plug the camera Ethernet straight into it, hopefully giving a good internet connection 🤞
