@Wayne-TP I have opened the ports on the wireless router that has the cameras connected to it. Do I also have to open the ports on the wireless router that has the Synology NAS running the Surveillance Station? Here is the picture. 

  @Wayne-TP I opened ports on both routers, but so far have had no luck getting the Surveillance Station to connect to the cameras.I wonder if anyone has setup their cameras in the same way as me. 

  @Wayne-TP Your directions actually worked! Thank You!

Could you please provide the settings for the first router as well? The target IP of the first router should be set as the WAN IP of the second router. Additionally, make sure that the internal port on the first router matches the external port specified for the Tapo camera in the port forwarding table of the second router.

 

Here is an example of port forwarding settings for such network topology. 

 

Network Topology: Internet---Router 1---Router 2---Tapo Camera

 

Router 1 LAN IP: 192.168.2.1

Router 2 WAN IP: 192.168.2.5, LAN IP: 192.168.0.1

Tapo Camera IP: 192.168.0.100, service port: 554

 

Router 1: 

- External port: 50001 <Custom/ Same as the internal port>

- Internal port: 50001

- Internal IP: 192.168.2.5 

 

Router 2: 

- External port: 50001 <Custom/ Same as the internal port>

- Internal port: 554

- Internal IP: 192.168.0.100
