 Since you tend to be typing everything in these posts rather than
cut&pasting directly from the RPI console window it is difficult to tell
what may or may not be a typo...

 It wants the password for the root account on the NAS... As it said:
root@N/NAS/mnt/CCTV/PiZero

>Refer to mount.cifs(8) manual page

https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/cifs-utils/mount.cifs.8.en.html

You need to pass username and password options to the mount command
(especially if the NAS login is not the same as the R-PI user).

You probably also need to "umount" these to clean up partial operations.
