Select the right resolution for the camera, such as 640x480.
To set the resolution for the camera, use a web browser and go to the configuration page of the camera. While in the configuration page, also set the the username and password accordingly.

QD300 allows you to configure both a primary and secondary stream. You can set it up in the "device config->Encode" section of the camera

In this example, I've enabled the primary stream and disabled the secondary stream. You can enable both. Note that I've set the FPS to 3 as its a good idea to reduce FPS in-camera and not ZoneMinder. Set it to a value that makes sense for you.
