Route in Epxress won't react as expect, can somebody verify my code?

Hi,

I'm working on a web application and I made together with the Teamtreehouse videos an API with Express and Mongoose. With this step I've made a Parent-Child structure (Location-documents) To explain: One location (with information) can have three types of documents. In these documents there is stored al lot of information but also 3 different one: cameras, monitors and pw. This one are objects which I need the possibility to get, post, put and delete them. At the moment I have the following code and I get the response message: 

{
  "error": {
    "message": "Cannot read property 'push' of undefined"
  }
}

post route for the camera

router.post("/:lID/documents/:dID/cameras", function(req, res, next) {
  req.location.documents.cameras.push(req.body);
  req.location.documents.save(function(err, camera){
    if(err) return next(err);
    res.status(201);
    res.json(camera);
  });
});

Can somebody help me with this one?
