Synology only allows 2 cameras for free, to add more you need to buy licenses from them. $200 for a 4 cam license pack at amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Synology-Camera-License-Pack-CLP4/dp/B001JD8J8W
It might depend on the NAS. I know my DS1515+ came with two camera licenses for Surveillance Station, and the camera packs are indeed a bit expensive. First, here's a bit of info about the packs, since some devices might eat up more than one: https://www.synology.com/en-global/products/Device_License_Pack
And it looks like about $59 a camera for the license packs beyond what your NAS might already provide: https://www.amazon.com/Synology-Camera-License-Pack-CLP4/dp/B001JD8J8W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1540961524&sr=8-1&keywords=surveillance+station+license&dpID=41bCVxXau5L&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
Factor in a few things long-term when looking at your alternatives. For some folks, a cloud solution makes more sense.
For me it wasn't really sensible relying on cloud offerings due to a combination of desired camera count, bandwidth requirements (busy/active scenes), and of course the subscription fees, when I already had capable hardware and storage. If I didn't already have/use the NAS for actual storage, then maybe I'd consider an online solution without always-on recording (it isn't really sensible doing that, and it's not really the norm anyway; record on activity detection). I have four of six licenses used at the moment and plan to add a couple more cameras later.
As for integrating what you have, the surveillance station stuff might be able to, but it'll deffo take a bit of research. See what the first link takes you to, for starters, I guess. Worst case I guess you can just make a share from the NAS that the existing NVR uses? Any reason you want to switch to using Surveillance Station to do the brain work?
