Synology NVR / Surveillance Systems

Hi! We are looking to upgrade an ancient analog system to something modern and are seriously considering a Synology NVR. Especially interested in the SA3400D and have spent many hours doing research on it.

But I have been warned by one vendor that they have seen problems with large security installations on Synology, saying performance and/or reliability was an issue. Was not specified how long ago, or which machine(s), or how it/they were configured.

Does anyone have experience with using a Synology NVR in larger installations, with around 100 cameras continuously recording? If so, I would love to hear your experiences. Thanks

The biggest issues we run into is people going with the minimum specs, 4K cameras, and not enough drives or memory to get performance from the system.
