Hot to solve this problem in packet tracer " cable cannot connected to the port "

That's what the error means. You cannot connect that cable type to that port. You need to see what ports the device supports and use the cables that support it. You cant plug a serial cable into a Fastethernet port. Just like in real life it wouldn't fit.

It's because this IoT do not need Ethernet connection. Wireless or Bluetooth!

Yes the Network Academy video here https://www.netacad.com/launch?id=ec0847b7-e6fc-4597-bc31-38ddd6b07a2f&tab=curriculum&view=2e838579-e095-5f66-bb62-c440769a0b24 shows using an ethernet cable to connect. Maybe the video needs to be updated. This is the the first tutorial done with Cisco Packet Tracer in that lesson.

You can connect the webcam via a wireless connection.  Make sure the webcam is on the same SSID as the router:  Webcam > Config > Wireless0 > SSID
