HIKVISION DS-2CD2032-I camera

I have got the HIKVISION DS-2CD2032-I IP camera (Amazon) to work well with Zoneminder V1.28.1. I'm documenting this here as I can't seem to create a page on the forum.
The firmware of the camera I have is V5.2.5 build 141201, as reported by its internal webpage. I did not update the camera firmware as it works just fine.
My Zoneminder monitor settings are as follows.

General tab:

Source Type: Ffmpeg
Maximum FPS: Not Set
Source tab:
Source Path: rtsp://username:password@camera_ip_address/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0
Remote Method: RTP/RTSP
Options: Empty
Target Colorspace: 24 bit colour
Capture Width (pixels): 1920
Capture Height (pixels): 1080
Preserve Aspect Ratio: Not Checked
Orientation: Normal
Deinterlacing: Disabled

Setting up the camera itself is fairly straightforward. As supplied, its IP address is 192.0.0.64. All the camera configuration tasks can be performed through the inbuilt web interface that can be accessed by pointing a browser at the camera's IP address. The supplied user name is admin and the default password is 12345. What's convenient is that you can log in to the camera from another machine on the network even when the camera is connected to Zoneminder, so minor configuration changes are made easier (you don't have to disconnect the camera).
If anyone has any questions about my experience with this camera, or needs more details, I am happy to provide.
Thanks to the help I've received from members of this forum, I have got this far! =D
