May you never wind up being subpoenaed to be interviewed by the DA, testify before a Grand Jury, and again in the subsequent criminal trial!
The Synology probably can't handle more than 2-3 cameras because of disk/network throughput from my own experience. The one thing that Amcrest's stuff has going for it is that it uses superior H.265 compression when saving to an Amcrest NVR, whereas it falls back to the more-bloated H.264 when talking to other company's devices. It can store way more parallel channels of video in less disk space and using less total bandwidth. Even though the UI sucks the chrome off of a trailer hitch ball and doesn't integrate into HomeKit, the Amcrest NVR does a great job at capturing video for when the police come knocking.....
