They all want you to buy a dvr. Check the link I posted earlier. It has much more detail as to how to make it work. You need to do some of your own research.

i asked the seller of that cctv camera on amazon if the camera can connect to a tv and they say it needs the dvr to do that. so if thats truei may go back to the wyze cam and a tv using a fire stick.
A DVR allows more than one camera, recording of video, and monitor outputs. However, unless there’s something particularly weird about the camera, then the BNC to video adapter @WildBill mentioned should work fine. Very few people use a camera just to view without being able to record which is likely why the seller told you the standard way it’s done. If it was me, I would try it and just return it if it doesn’t work since it would be such a simple reliable setup with no WIFI or apps needed.
If you have a TV with HDMI, here is a BNC to HDMI box that’s cheaper than a firestick and will also do what you want more reliably than WIFI. It would basically act as the DVR, but with no recording or multiple camera ability.
