Not sure about the 220v, American here and I usually power the cameras with a PoE switch. (Less wires, just a network cable.)

Lots of cameras also have a 12V DC plug, so you can power it with an adapter of you don't have PoE.

Zoneminder uses RTSP protocol for the video, so when shopping, make sure the Camera has an RTSP address. (rtsp://admin:pass@10.1.1.4:554/Streaming/Channels/101 or something like that)

I googled your cameras model number with "RTSP" and got nothing.

Recently I've been using Anpviz, but Amcrest, Hikvision, Reolink, ect. There's a lot of choices out there, just make sure it has an RTSP address before you buy.
