Is it possible to watch IP cameras without port forwarding behind NAT?

At work, there is a Zyxel Keenetic router, to which several computers and two IP cameras are connected by twisted pair. This router is connected to the optical terminal of Rostelecom, from which it receives the Internet. In the router settings, the ports for the cameras are not forwarded through NAT. There are no records on the computer either. But the boss takes us to show off, saying that he is watching us through the cameras.
The question is - is it possible to watch IP cameras without port forwarding behind NAT?

Lol, outside - no.
From within, yes.
It is quite possible that he connects via RDP or at least TeamViewer to his work PC and looks through the browser.
Or connected them to the cloud, D-Link can do this.
In short, the grandmother said in two. Tweak your camera settings.

It is quite possible. Firstly, there are cloud services that just solve the issue of gray IP - such as ivideon, and secondly, there are just cameras with ddns support.

Easy ... Most of all IP cameras have a built-in cloud service, each camera has its own alphanumeric ID, just the Internet is enough, without any port forwarding and everything will be visible ..

It is worth considering the option in which your cameras are assigned white IP addresses

There is a white dynamic address. In general, I dug into the settings of the router and found some records of Yandex DNS with cameras. But the cameras are not members of the router's home network at all, they are connected, they are assigned internal addresses 192.168. 1.100 and 192.168 . 1.101, but network addresses are 192.168. 2.xxx . The router says so - the device is not on the home network.
