I have these options from the cam. I am using the http.stream.jpg that appears to work good.
Is one stream better then the other as far as load on the PC.
I was able to get the rtsp.mjpeg.sdp to work, But didn't seam to word as good, But didn't use it that much to be sure.

I have not been able to get the mpeg4.sdp and stream.av to work.

Thanks for the help.

RTSP MPEG4 stream: rtsp://192.168.1.100/live_mpeg4.sdp
RTSP MJPEG stream: rtsp://192.168.1.100/live_mjpeg.sdp
HTTP MPEG4 stream: http://192.168.1.100:8080/stream.av
HTTP MJPEG stream: http://192.168.1.100:8080/stream.jpg
HTTP snapshot image: http://192.168.1.100:8080/snapshot.jpg

It depends on the camera i think.
But if the camera works properly in all streaming modes, i would pick the one with lowest CPU usage.
I think the last one (snapshot) uses most CPU usage because its not a stream, but rather a snapshot, ZM will have to poll that page for a picture at your fps rate, which is probably not as efficient as using a stream.
