Thanks for the clarification there, much appreciated.

On the PiZero I did mount //NAS/mnt/CCTV/PiZero /mntCCTV/PiZero and it
returned:
Password for root@N/NAS/mnt/CCTV/PiZero.
So I used the PiZero password as I didn't know what else to use.

And then it returned:
mount error(115): operation now in progress.
Refer to mount.cifs(8) manual page

Also I did mount //NAS/CCTV /mnt/CCTV, and this also returned the same
as above
