how to block devices from accessing local network without denying access to the internet
My Q-See security cameras need to be hosted inorder to view via web. As q-see has gone out of business it has recommended to use remote access via DMZ and enable DHCP. I understand this basically turns off your router’s firewall and allows an outside connection directly to your NVR. The q-see vcr is a wired connection.
How can I block this outside connection from all the other devices on my LAN??
What is the security procedure for restricting this VCR wired connection from the rest of the devices on my LAN.

"hosted"? I don't know what that means. How do you access your (unspecified) "My Q-See security cameras" locally? Web browser? App? Other?

It might be more helpful to see the actual recommendation, rather than your interpretation of it. ("enable DHCP"???)

There's some kind of (unspecified) "NVR" involved?
Specifying a DMZ server is probably over-broad, but any scheme which allows external access to one of your (unspecified) gizmos would "allow an outside connection directly to your" gizmo. Presumably, there'd be a password involved for such access.

Don't specify a DMZ server. Knowing nothing about your (unspecified) gizmos, I'd guess that one or more port-forwarding rules would allow external access to one or more specific devices (only).
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for "Set Up Port Forwarding to a Local Server".
