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.
