TVS-872X vs TS-h886 My question is regarding which one would suit me the best? The NAS is going to be used for the following. Backup of currently 4 devices Surveillance with 4 cameras Multimedia and storage
As for multimedia, I would recommend Core i5 instead of this particular Xeon. It is faster per core and overall performance. Also, GPU chip will help quite a lot. Surveillance and backups require significantly less power compared to Multimedia use. Bot models would cope with that fairly easily.
Here is a comparison table.

The performance is similar, but Core i series have transcoding engine built-in. This allows covering videos up to 1080p without slowing down overall CPU speed. Anything bigger than this and both CPU will use all resources to convert those videos.
