I've tested QD300 so far. I am told QD900 will be the same

These are the settings for QD300.

In camera settings

QD300 allows you to configure both a primary and secondary stream. You can set it up in the "device config->Encode" section of the camera

In this example, I've enabled the primary stream and disabled the secondary stream. You can enable both. Note that I've set the FPS to 3 as its a good idea to reduce FPS in-camera and not ZoneMinder. Set it to a value that makes sense for you.

ZoneMinder settings

You can either configure the camera using FFmpeg or native RTSP

Configuring it via FFMPEG

Primary Stream

• General
  • Source Type-->Ffmpeg

• Source
  • Source Path
    • For primary stream: rtsp://<cameraip>:554/user=<username>&password=<password>&channel=1&stream=0.sdp
    • For secondary stream: rtsp://<cameraip>:554/user=<username>&password=<password>&channel=2&stream=0.sdp
  • Remote Method: RTP/RTSP
  • Options: keep empty
  • Target colorspace: 32 bit
  • Capture Width and Height
    • For primary stream: 1280 and 720 for QD300, 1280 and 1080 for QD900 (change this depending on your camera resolution)
    • For secondary stream: if you are using CIF, its 352 and 288 respectively

You don't need to change anything else
