NVRs and Compatible Cameras

My dad installed a swann nvr/camera package into his house, and 2 cameras are dead with another crapping out constantly. The nvr has only a couple of compatible cameras that aren’t even sold anymore on the product pages online, and buying marked up used old cameras for a old and mediocre system seems like a waste.

He asked me to fix it, and I was thinking of just replacing the whole setup with a new camera/nvr package at essentially the same price as those cameras using the existing ethernet lines, but I don’t want to run into camera compatibility issues if/when cameras die. Is there like a standardized protocol/non proprietary type nvr that’d use third party or generic cameras in this new setup, and how would I know? Like I’ve seen REOLINK nvr pages and they also say they only work with specific reolink ip cameras
