Looking for help setting up Reolink NVR with a camera from another brand.

Hello there! I'm working with a Reolink NVR/Camera package - NVR + 12 Reolink cameras and I'm trying to figure out if the NVR can work with a camera from another supplier. The NVR in question is RLN16-410 - 16 port POE nvr. So far the system has been reliable and works fine with Reolink cameras. I have access to Dahua DH-IPC-HDBW4431R-ZS and to GW 5088IP cameras. Both are supposed to be ONVIF compatible. The GW gets detected by the NVR however despite accepting the user/password combination there is no video. the Dahua doesn't get detected at all by the NVR. Both cameras are set up to use dhcp and I can access both and view the video feed using their native web interface. I tried connecting them directly to the ports on the NVR and to a POE switch . At this point I'm wondering if I just have cameras that are not compatible, is it a problem with the NVR or am I not setting something correctly. Any suggestions? Thanks!
