Camera won't connect

Yes, get a camera OEM'd by a name brand such as Dahua or Hikvision; the Loryta and EmpireTech sold by @EMPIRETECANDY are OEM'd by Dahua.
These cameras will cost more because they offer more and just plain perform better. I don't know about you but at my age and condition right now time is precious and I don't want to waste it monkeying with something that won't work or performs poorly when it DOES sometimes work.
My time is also worth money when I'm moonlighting @ $75 an hour so I don't want to lose $75 trying get a $30 camera to work, then poorly at best.

Steer away from cameras that require you to scan a QR code or enter a UID number into their app to view remotely.
With them you'll likely be using an offshore P2P server ("cloud") and locked into a proprietary protocol that can't be streamed directly to Blue Iris, VLC or any VMS.

I think it's @looney2ns favorite saying and repeated often by @wittaj and other here...."Buy once, cry once".

Thank you for the info. I looked at those cameras and they are too much for me. I am retired and not real well off by any means. I will just stay with the other cameras I have that do work good.

You want an indoor or outdoor camera?
Any particular form factor such as bullet, turret or dome?
Can it operate wired, not wireless?
What is your max budget for ONE camera?
 
OK, I take it that you have what you need.
Good luck.
