That is the reason the error message say that it does not find the
directory. look again. the first part od the file

>>> '/192.168.0.22/mnt/CCTV/PiZero/2018-16-16_11.25.36.h264'
     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So as I said:

mount (in this context) means 'bringing the filesystem of the NAS
looking like a part od the filesystem of the PI


So again : on the PI do

>> #mount -t cifs -o username=USERNAME,password=PASSWD
>> //192.168.1.88/shares /mnt/share

>> on one line. as root or sudo

here I guess I need to clarify that you should exchange
 * USERNAME to the username used to log on to the NAS
 * PASSWORD to the password of above user on the NAS
 * //192.168.1.88/shares to the ipaddres of the NAS +
    the name of the share
 * /mnt/share to a local directory. /mnt/nas is not to bad

if /mnt/nas does not exist - create it :
sudo mkdir /mnt/nas
sudo chown -R pi:pi /mnt/nas

to fix permissions

Now - after this manouver you have linked
the Pi's /mnt/nas with the NAS's /shares directory

whatever you write - on the PI - to /mnt/nas end up on the NAS.
NOT on the PI. which is the whole point

no - as above - it will save it on the NAS.
NOT on the PI since the mount command links the filesystem with each other.


(and as a comment to other error you had with bash error messages)
make bash run python which run the python file.

like

$python3 your_python_file.py
