I second this. Good things to know include:
Each Synology NAS comes with Surveillance Station licenses for 2 cameras. You can use any 2 compatible cameras. You can switch out cameras for new ones, as long as it's just 2.
If you need more than 2 cameras you can buy additional license pack bundles to add different numbers of cameras. These additional licenses are tied to that Synology NAS box. My understanding is that you can't take them with you to a new NAS. This isn't a problem for most people (who are gonna use that NAS for 6-10 years), but it is good to be informed when you're making platform choices.
