IP camera surveillance set up

The cameras are basic and record 24/7 on their own SD card. It would have been nice to also have a copy on the NAS to be safe.
Besides things that can go wrong, is there any other disadvantage in using a nas for this purpose? Drive wear and tear?

Actually, that's what a DVR is for.  But you can use a dedicated PC as a DVR.  Assuming your cameras are of the "Eufy solo" type, I see only RTSP capability for streaming, so you'd have to look for that in any product you choose.  Blue Iris does support RTSP.  For a LInux solution, Shinobi looks promising (https://shinobi.video/ ), but I see nothing suggesting it's compatible with the older Debian of the ReadyNAS.  It does have a web interface, so can be run headless.

No, I wouldn't recommend using your desktop PC for this, either.

You haven't said which model NAS and cameras you have, but the older entry-level ones are certainly not up to keeping up with multiple simultaneous high-resolution streams.  As a backup of the video, so not in real time, they are excellent.  But I see nothing about a Eufy that suggests they have that capability.  The very outdated Debian core of the ReadyNASOS is probably going to be your largest stumbling block.
