Based on your requirements, I would recommend the Synology DS423+ as a good option for your needs. It is a Celeron-based model, which you mentioned you preferred, and it should have sufficient power to handle your file and photo storage, as well as your surveillance camera feeds. It also has support for SHR-2, which provides greater data protection compared to RAID-1.
Regarding the Surveillance Station application, it should run well on the Intel Celeron CPU found in the DS423+. The application can utilize hardware acceleration features found in some CPUs to improve performance, and the cpu has built-in Intel UHD Graphics 600 that supports hardware decoding of video streams. This can help reduce CPU usage when processing multiple camera feeds.
If you decide to run a VM at some point, it is worth noting that the DS423+ has virtualization support through its Virtual Machine Manager application. However, keep in mind that running a VM will consume additional system resources, so you may need to upgrade the RAM to accommodate this.
Overall, the Synology DS423+ should be a good fit for your needs, with sufficient power to handle your storage, surveillance, and streaming requirements.
