AC2400 how to disable internet on some devices

Hi, I am trying to secure my ip camera in the house and I want to block them from accessing internet, so I can only connected to them when I VPN to home network. How do I achieve that with AC2400? ...

I have NETGEAR Nighthawk AC2400

Firmware VersionV1.2.0.92_1.0.1

 

About the setup that is what I did, as you described, but it does not add devices when I click Add:

it shows dialog

and then nothing pops on the list od blocked services

Must be a bug in the firmware. I can confirm it works here, but I use a different router & firmware

 

You can try using the Nighthawk app and pausing the Internet there.

    yeah I tried Nighthawk app and it has toggle to turn off internet for given devices but it does map to main Access Control panel and blocks devices from local communication as well 😞
