Probably you need to find cameras that can write directly to network shares (perhaps with FTP).
Hopjng to not step on any toes suggesting a competing product, but I find Blue Iris running on even an older (Core2Duo or better) PC and using the NAS as a backup device for it to be hands-down better than anything that will run on an entry level NAS. Camera limit is well beyond what most PC's can handle without any additional charge, and the list of supported cameras is huge. Some of the newer mini PC's would likely work quite well with it, though I just used my most recently retired general purpose PC (a Core2Quad) and a KVM so i don't need a dedicated monitor, mouse, and keyboard. Google is your friend.
