It’s not possible to get a universal answer to such a question. It all depends on the available resources (network, servers) and the characteristics of the camera streams (bitrate, codecs, etc.). You can get an idea by checking out the deployment examples - [https://www.wowza.com/pricing/streaming-engine/deployment-examples](https://www.wowza.com/pricing/streaming-engine/deployment-examples) . The only way to be sure however, is to test yourself.
