The label on my NVR is "Use That Cam". I can't find anything on them. I did find the model number NVRCE4214KTW on the Cantonk site. Their specs show the camera model number is IPR25FK800W. I've lost two of the four cams and need to replace them. Can anybody help me with this?

That website is flagged for being infected with malware, so I'm not going there.
Have you checked that the connection to the camera was properly waterproofed at time of install?
If not the connection could have corroded if it wasn't.

I thought Can't_onk was basically a fork of Longse. IDK, I'm vaguely recalling some threads from many years ago. Most of which were probably deleted due to spam by the company.
Ultimately, your best course of action is going to be to migrate to newer better cameras from a reputable brand. Preferably poe powered cameras wired via ethernet and not wifi.

Getting the hang of it
The cameras from Cantonk are actually made by Longse; they are the same company operating under different brands. I still receive spam marketing emails from them since I bought from them a few times. After using their products, I would say I'm not a fan. Can you still contact the salesperson who sold the cameras to you? If so, you might consider asking for their help. However, I recommend purchasing from more reputable brands that can offer long-lasting, high-performance cameras.

Thanks for the replys. These cams were attatched to an out building on the property. Rats ate the power cords. I'll probably take your advice and just replace the whole system. I'll protect the power cords next time. 
This one is a 4k wireless system and I liked it pretty good. Can someone recomend a replacement?
Thanks again,
Dale

Is there power at that out building?Thanks for the replys. These cams were attatched to an out building on the property. Rats ate the power cords. I'll probably take your advice and just replace the whole system. I'll protect the power cords next time.

Is there LOS (Line Of Sight) to that out building?
If the anwser is "yes" to both I'd suggest quality, name brand POE cameras out there connected back to the house by a wireless layer 2 transparent bridge.
Wi-Fi cameras are problematic.
There is power in the building and I do have line of site. The building is around 175ft from the NVR. There is another camera in a tree about 50ft from the building. I have power in the tree too. I had thought about a bridge. I'll give is more thought with the next system. The system here almost has to be wireless unless I want to bury cables. This system works pretty well in this situation. I just can't find replacement cameras. Thanks for the help guys.
Lightning in TN, as here in AL and most of the SE USA, can be VERY firece and I would not put CAT cable in the ground between 2 structures. Fiber is my first choice since you have power there but it can take time and costs more. The wireless PtP method I suggested above would be my second choice if time and budget were a consideration.
EDIT: 10/31 @1649 CDT: I would not place CAT cable in ground OR aerially between 2 structures.
