Which "ip cameras"? Wired or wireless connection?

I don't know what that means. For a wired connection, connect the
wire. For a wireless connection, follow the instructions which come
with your (unspecified) "ip cameras".

Ok. As I read that, the DVR talks to the cameras, and you talk to
the DVR.

If you're running "app" on a device which is connected to your LAN,
then you should not need to do any port forwarding. If you want to talk
to the DVR from the outside world, then you may need to configure
port forwarding to the DVR. The DVR instructions should say whether
this is needed.
To do that, you need to ensure that the DVR always has the same IP
address. You probably should reserve an address for it somewhere like
ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup : Address Reservation. Then you can use
that address in ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding / Port
Triggering. I assume that the DVR instructions tell you which port it
uses.
