I'm trying to set up a raspberry pi 4 (4GB model) as a server on wifi to view/record footage from 2-4 Pi Zero W's, and eventually utilize OpenVPN to access the feed outside my LAN. I would also like to attach an external hard drive to the RPI4  to have footage from each camera sent to the server, and finally set up email notifications but for now one step at a time.

Currently, I have 2 Pi Zero's running on wifi, and can view their feed using their IP addresses on the LAN. They have motioneyeos installed. The raspberry pi 4 has the current version of buster installed, and I'm trying to add motioneye onto the OS.

The the IP's for the 2 cameras and the server (raspberry Pi 4) has been set to static.  I've followed the instructions for the server installation here: https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneye/wiki/Install-On-Raspbian

The problem happens when I get to the section of the installation process "Accessing the Frontend" where it says to use the device's IP (in this case my server, right?) in the following format: "http://my server's static IP:8765/". When I use my raspberry pi 4's IP address from the Pi's browser or other browsers on the LAN it won't load. I've also tried using the IP's for the camera's and have had no luck.

What am I doing wrong?
