Replacement Camera Setup

I'm at a loss.I do have a good internet feed to the nvr,checked with my laptop.
Also tried the IE.vbs script I made before I discovered Edge could load a IE page.
It's like the firmware broke the nvr somehow.

Nope
1- How do you know you have a “good internet feed” to your NVR?
2- How did you “Check it with your laptop”?
3- what is the ip address of your windows pc?
4- What is the ip address of your router?
Is it 192.168.1.1?

1 and 2-I used the ethernet cable that feeds the nvr.Unplugged it and tried on the laptop.Laptop was showing a connection.it loaded a webpage like normal.
3-did a cmd to ipconfig/all,it lists for the IPv4 address as 192.168.1.5(Preferred)
4-Yes

Okay,rebooted.
I Just need some clarification on the next step.I've only used the laptop this one time just to see if the nvr was getting internet reception.Then I disconnected it and plugged the ethernet cable back on the nvr.

make sure NVR power is plugged in and turned on
make sure NVR is connected to an Ethernet cable that connects to your network
open a browser on your laptop and type 192.168.1.108 in the address bar and hit enter

It looks like I'm missing something here.My monitor wasn't disconnected.I disconnected the ethernet from the nvr earlier and plugged that ethernet cable into the laptop to see if it had internet.It was showing a connection so i removed the laptop and placed ethernet cable back on nvr.Thats how it is now,but sstill not able to log in from my pc(not laptop)

Ok listen closely.
1- your NVR is fine. The pic above shows you are in it and it’s working and it’s assigned IP is 192.168.1.108
2- You need to comprehend there are two different ways to view/interact/login to the NVR
A) the way you are now. Using a monitor and mouse directly connected to it. The “console” view.
B) via the web GUI “browser” view using a laptop or pc connected to your wifi network.
Neither method requires the internet.
3- Your router connects all the parts. For option B to work your PC or Laptop must be on the same network segment as the NVR.
In this case 192.168.1.X
4 - your router in this case should be at 192.168.1.1
Your NVR is at 192.168.1.108
Your pc or laptop should also be on an ip starting with 192.168.1.X
*Both your PC or laptop as well as the NVR, should also have a “Gateway” of 192.168.1.1 ( the router IS the gateway)
5- because you don’t seem to have a good grasp on using option B I suggest you stick with what you know and continue using the monitor and mouse in option A at the console
6- so using the monitor and mouse now that we know your NVR is fine, see if you can navigate to the screen showing the cameras, plug in your new camera using a known good cable to port #5, and wait.
Show a pic of that screen when something happens

If not, using the pencil icon, in the popup edit the password to the same exact password as the NVR .
I’ve seen older NVRs take quite a while to register a new camera.
If that doesn’t work you need to open the camera and do a hard reset with the physical button held for 45 secondS. Then wait 30 min again.
Go to the live view and see if your cameras are showing.
If that doesn’t work I don’t know what to tell you.
