R7000 cant access my security cameras

   Passive?  There is no need to be so stingy with useful (or required)
information, either.  If you insist on treating simple, relevant
questions as intrusive or unimportant, then it'll be very tough to make
any progress.

   And you know this how, exactly?  If you could distinguish between
relevant and irrelevant in this context, then you likely wouldn't be
here asking (information-free) questions like this.  (And wearing out
your welcome with someone who might be able to help, if given a chance.)

   Please let us know if you find one.

   That's not how it works.  You have a NAT router; the "firewall" is
implicit in its operation.  You can configure (port forwarding on) the
router to allow incoming connections to any device(s) on your LAN.
Sadly, however, that requires some actual information about which
external ports to forward to which internal ports at which IP addresses.
That is, actual information about how your (unspecified) cameras work.

> [...] I view the camera feeds through an app.

   I wouldn't want you to wear yourself out with exhaustive detail, but
it might help to know how this (unspecified) app identifies/locates a
particular camera.

I'm afraid this displays a misunderstanding of how many of these things work.

Firewalls are almost certainly not a part of the story.

Just because a camera maker mutters about firewalls does not mean anything. It would not be the first time that a pig ignorant support person has got things wrong. ISPs are especially good at blaming router makers for things that turn out to be issues on their networks.

In any case, there is not much that you can do with what passes for a firewall on a Netgear router.

It really does depend on the cameras and how they need to be configured to use things like different ports on a router.

If you aren't prepared to tell people what the cameras are, there isn't much that they can do.

Look back at your first message and ask tyourself how much useful information it tells us. Is it any wonder that you canlt get sensible responses?

I assume that you have thrown  the make of camera into the search engine here. Many of these issues have come up before. There may well be useful tips out there somewhere.
