Re: cant capture analog cameras
In your logs it says its a zms error not a capture error. You may just need to follow the instructions in the error message.
But per subject: Analog cameras are covered in the HCL: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Hardware_Compatibility_List IP VIdeo encoders, capture cards, bt8x8 cards are all relevant.

fastest way to test streams:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path ./output.mp4 (if terminal only)
ffplay rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path (gui)
find paths on ispydb or in zm hcl
