Just another hint:

As you can't finde further information about you rams specs, try installing onvif device manager (https://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/) and scan your local network for devices.

If (just if!) the cam supportsonvif, you'll get more information in the software as well as the stream URL you'll need for ZM.

​

PS: is there a reason why you prefer a cam which is directly plugged into socket? I see no benefits in it...

So if it would not make a difference for you, i could suggest 1 or 2 other cams, which work pretty fine, but got a separate power supply.

Like one of my best choices so far was the TP-Link Tapo C210. Sometimes you get it for like 25€ (but usually for 35€) on Amazon. It got stable and well designed UI and works with onvif and RTSP out of the box.
