Does the directory on the NAS box you're trying to access exist?

Since none of the parameters for any 'mount' command you've shown us
contain /mnt/CCTV/PiZero I think, to avoid confusion, you should show us:

- the output of "ls /" when run on both the Pi zero and your NAS box

- the exact 'mount' command that is failing and the error message (copy
  and paste the command line, "$ mount....", and the error line.

- an explanation of why you've added /mnt/CCTV/PiZero to /etc/fstab,
  and which system you did that on.

- what, if any, Linux reference guide you're using.

  "Linux in a Nutshell" and
  http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/
  are both good.
