I don't know the bitrate of your cameras, but even if they were high quality 4K, it should be maximumx 16 Mb/s for each camera, so 48 Mb/s in total.
Assuming the device is connected with gigabit LAN, you still have more than 900 Mb/s for your Jellyfin.
Maximum UHD Bluray bitrate is 128 Mb/s, so you can play 7 original quality movies at the same time, without saturing the network.
So, as you can see, from network point of view, it is not a problem.
I would be more concerned about CPU usage, especially if you are re-encoding the security cameras streams (or you are using motion detection), and/or if you are planning to use re-encoding with Jellyfin.
(also, you obviously cannot play 7 movies at the same time if you are using a single mechanical hard drive, it can be done if you are using an SSD, or multiple hard drive in RAID)
Seconding this answer, I started typing up more or less the exact same response before scrolling down. Network will not be your bottleneck here. You are far more likely to have a storage or CPU bottleneck, but the only way to know is to try it.
Actually, a max UHD Bluray can peak beyond 200mbit which causes some troubles with my TV because it‘s ethernet is 100mbit and the wifi is not always full strength.
Very informative, thank you! CPU usage is at least something I can easily measure.
