Multiple routers and port forwarding

I have strange setup due to metal shop and a neighbor that shares wifi. Three routers chained.

Primary router is Comcast modem/wifi that serves the house.

Cable underground to shop (steel building) to a Buffalo router for internal WiFi.

Second router via cable to feed 12Dbi omni antenna on pole 15 feet in air to serve my property and nearby woods where I hike as well as to a neighbor with kids and no money for internet.

All routers have different IP's but obtain dns from the primary Comcast router on the IP 192.168.1.1

I put an IP camera on the tower to view my yard and it is cabled into the last router in this chain, the same one that covers yard and neighbor.

Now that's settled !

Here is the question: :biggrin:

I want to set up so I can view camera from the world. Will I need to do three port forwards to get to the camera on the third router?

( I have another camera on house but it is WiFi direct to main router. )
 
Set static ip for camera, find out what port it needs opened, set port forward on comcast to that ip and those ports, done.
