In addition to its function as a Video doorbell/intercom with your smartphone, this device provides two live video feeds.

In Zoneminder I set up the Monitor/Source page as follows:

Remote Protocol: RTSP
Remote Method: RTP/Unicast
Remote Host Name: <local.LAN.IP.address>
Remote Host Port: 554
Remote Host Path: /cam/realmonitor?
Target colorspace: 24 bit Color
Capture Width (pixels): 1280
Capture Height (pixels):720

I left the Substream at the WAN default, but changed the Main stream to the LAN default to get the better resolution above.
