Port forwarding is about to drive me insane

I put in a camera system this weekend at the house.
I have Eatel's wireless router with another hardwired router behind it. I originally hardwired the camera system directly to the Eatel router but started having issues with tiling on my TV's. I called Eatel this afternoon and they told me to connect my cameras to the 2nd router. I did that and forwarded port 7000 (default for the camera system) to the 2nd router's ip from the 1st router and then forwarded port 7000 to the camera systems new ip from the 2nd router.
WTF am I missing because I can no longer get to the camera system from outside?

Something seems off with attempting to double port forward. I've never tried it that way. Does the Eatel router allow you to put it in bridge mode where your second router can pull the Eatel public IP? I have one but haven't tried. Thinking about doing cameras myself in the near future and was going to buy a better firewall and put the router in bridge mode.

The Eatel router does allow bridge mode but I have a couple things in my office hardwired to it so I didn't want to do that.
Update: I called Eatel back and, as I suspected, it doesn't matter where the cameras are plugged into. So I connected it back to the Eatel router and configured it the same as I had it the first time and everything works. a-hole customer service idiots always quick to blame anything other than their own shite. There is a low signal on one of my boxes causing my TV to tile.

Do the cameras themselves have IP addresses?

Kinda hard not to when the Eatel router only has 4 ports and 3 are taken up by cable boxes

Much better than Cox or AT&T. Customer service in the service provider community is all the same, less than desirable
