The QNAP & Synology boxes are open for use with many manufacturers. However, they will tie you in to using their cameras only. HikVision or ACTi for example offer the simplest plug & play route to getting a system up & running. NB QNAP NAS boxes are different to QNAP NVR boxes the NVRs allow you to select from a MUCH greater range of compatible IP cameras. If you need to direct-connect a monitor to your box, then buy a QNAP (PRO models offer a VGA connection, PRO+ models offer an HDMI connection). You just buy the more capable box, but only licence the number of cameras that you need now.
Synology are the most agile - they keep up well with new camera launches, their boxes update easily, you can purchase a Synology NAS box for a reasonable price that is able to manage not just the number of cameras that you know you need now, but also has the future capability to manage all that you can envisage.
