This camera works perfectly as long as you have Zoneminder set up with FFMPEG.
Stream 0 is 1920 x 1080 @ 25fps and stream 1 is 708 x 576 @ 25fps. Both streams are compressed using H264 MPEG-4 AVC. The FFMPEG decoder is the way to go.
The camera defaults to an IP address of 192.168.1.108 with a username/password of admin/admin. It has a built-in web browser that lets you set a number of functions. The camera comes with a manual on a mini-CD. The manual is marginally useful. It is best just to get on the web interface and play.
HELP - On the web interface, if you click on the upper right corner question mark icon, you will get help... in Chinese. This might work for you, but if English is better, then try this:
http://192.168.1.108/help/English/help.htm?device=1
Changing the device seems to change the functions listed in the help menu.
I found that it helpful to download the VLC player and put the following url into the File/Open Network dialog box:
rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.1.108
You will find information on the Internet saying you need something like the following in order for it to work:
rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.1.108:554/live
This does work, but it does not seem to be necessary. Going to the IP address directly gets you to Stream 0 - the HD stream. You can see the properties of the stream using VLC by going to Window/Media Information/Codec Details. If you want to specifically point to the HD stream, use:
rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.1.108:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0
To get to the SD or lower resolution feed, use: rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.1.108:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1

Note that this camera can occasionally go into an 'indeterminate' state if power is interrupted or browned-out. When in this state, it will respond to pings and telnet, but will not stream an image. There is an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nz.co.trillium.dahuareboot that will reboot it out of this state.
