thank for your reply. My problem is that I can not log into the camera direct since my NVR is on a mesh network and hence only has a private network ip address. The mesh network connects to my main isp router. It is not practical to connect the nvr directly to the isp router due to distance.Yes, that is no problem.
First you need to log in directly to the camera.
See the screenshot, should explain enough I hope.

This implies you are using Wifi to handle NVR or Camera traffic. You will have issue's, WiFI was not designed for the continuous traffic that a security cam generates.thank for your reply.

My setup is that the cameras are connected by ethernet cables to the nvr and the nvr is connected to the mesh extender by cable which is in turn connected to the isp routerThis implies you are using Wifi to handle NVR or Camera traffic.

Do it properly with ethernet cables.
Hitting cameras web pages with a laptop in an NVR with POE
I figured I'd make a new post for this. It's nothing particulalry new and I certainly didn't invent this wheel! But I was taught how to do it and I want to pass it on to other people who have NVR's with built in POE. There IS a way to hit the cameras web pages directly, right through the NVR...ipcamtalk.com
