Hey Will. Welcome to the world of Synology. I have the DS220+ that I got for Christmas with 2 x 4Tb of hard disk space. I run home assistant in a VM on it and pihole in docker. I use Nest devices at the moment but will look at using the surveillance station software. The reason I got a NAS was to move away from cloud provided services as the monthly charges were becoming expensive although setting up a NAS is not cheap either and storage doesn't last too long. I already need to upgrade my hard drives 😬

Thank you! I do like the world so far - and I really hope I don't fill it up too quickly...! 2x8tb hard drives are very expensive!
