adding IP cameras and NVR to a Cisco shop

I have been working on a project for my employer on setting up a new IP camera system for the building. Currently, they're using coax for the cameras and DVR that is about 9 years old. The picture quality is garbage and the software they have with it isn't what I would call user friendly for the technically illiterate.

I am currently in the initiation phase of this project and trying to see if it will be feasible for me to setup and get management approval on. The one thing I was concerned about was whether a QoS configuration would be an issue or even necessary? This is a building of about 100 connected devices and the plan is to use about 20 IP cameras total with (2) 16 channel NVRs. We are not running a flat network and use multiple VLANs, redundant uplinks, etc. I am not super knowledgeable about QoS configs on Cisco Catalyst switches so maybe someone can get me started with what I should know.

Thanks
