What parameters did you enter for Find/Inspect?
Did you do a port scan of the camera to see what is open?

Here is a killer little port scanner and all-around best out there wi-fi and network analyzer with a free version that does anything most of us would ever need.
https://analiti.com/
It runs on any Android device. I have it on all my Android TV devices (including a Firestick) and use it often just for the speed test relative to my various AP locations to keep everything honest on all channels. Stick it on your phone for maximum convenience.
While primarily a deep ass wi-fi analysis tool, it's also great for just keeping an eye on all the devices across your network including the hardwired stuff, and they barely mention that. 'Connected Devices' shows everything, whether it's supposed to be there or not. LOL Any listed device can be port scanned very fast to see what's what when things don't seem to line up as expected -- like cameras using unconventional ports to maintain user reliance on their own proprietary ecosystem.

This app even do not want to list camera ip in devices tab but for other devices it work nice!

That would suggest the camera IP address is not on the same network. Maybe that's the problem? Is your network 192.168.3.0?
EasyVMS suggests it is compatible with ONVIF cameras and supports the RTSP protocol. If the camera itself is, it should work beyond the proprietary P6SLite protocol
if it can be freed from the app to work like a conventional IP camera.

Yes, all is in same network 192.168.3.0!
EasyVMS using P6S protocol for this camera!
This is my first camera in this price range locked on this way! I can not understand why!

How are the camera IP address and its login credentials established? And will it work alone with EasyVMS without the app?

To add it to app I must use QR code...yes, EasyVMS working without app and in app I can set password and also I think that I can do it in EasyVMS

That's neat. Much better than the wifi analyser I have been using. Replaced !

You may want to try doing a hard reset of the camera, eliminating the app (at least initially) and try setting it up manually with EasyVMS to see if it will initialize like a normal IP camera. I presume it has an ethernet interface and can be plugged into the network to identify what its default IP address is, or is set to dhcp by default in order to obtain an address from whatever dhcp resource may be operational on your network.
Bypassing the camera's reliance on the P6SLite ecosystem is what you want. Somewhere, somehow there is probably a webUI available in the camera firmware to access the desired functions. You just need to find the correct port to get there.

Glad you find it useful. Nothing out there comes close. I'm surprised it hasn't become more popular, (though it does tout 1,000,000+ downloads).
I think I pay $8.00 US per year to eliminate the ads.
