Orbi and switch
I’m a little confused about the Ethernet backhaul. I need to hookup 2 devices a computer and camera system to the Ethernet port on the router is this possible? Do I need a unmanaged switch?

You can use a switch with orbi. I have both a managed and an unmanaged switch hooked to mine. Some have reported issues with the "green" switches but not all. Again, I have a green unmanaged switch running fine.
If you use a managed switch, be sure to disable ALL IGMP protocols.
For managed switches, review NGs GS105/108 series.
