If you were to dist-upgrade your system to a more recent version of
Debian (for example, bullseye), you may not need to rely on a
third-party repository:

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=zoneminder&searchon=names&suite=bullseye&section=all

I'd always favour using the official repo, if possible, but you might
still prefer a third party source if you must have the very latest
upstream version.

You're less likely to get dependency issues this way as a lot of time
and effort has gone in to the release engineering process to ensure
packages from the official Debian sources work well together.

Best wishes

Mark
