WRT to "burning" the ISO to USB, it should "just work"!? On Linux it's super easy, you literally just copy the ISO to the USB device. E.g. if the USB is /dev/sdb (make sure you use the right device and be sure to unmount the USB if it's already mounted) then this should "just work":
Having said that, my guess is that you aren't using Linux, so that's likely not of much value. I have never heard of, nor used Balena etcher - but a quick google suggests that it should be more than capable of doing what is required. I haven't used it for years, but Rufus was always pretty good in my experience.
Our ISO is pretty basic and the fact that you tried 2 options suggests to me that the issue may be that your hardware is too new for our installer. If you're still interested in floowing up on this, please start a new thread and provide some more info on the issue you're encoutnering, including the hardware you're trying to us, any specific error messages you see, etc. Please also feel free to attach screenshots to your post (please note that you've done that and I'll tweak them so they display).
Whilst our ISO does support hardware install, it doesn't have great hardware support and doesn't support UEFI boot at all. Most older hardware will allow you to change to a "legacy boot" mode (and you'll also need to disable "Secure Boot" too). So I'd try that (you'll need to poke around in your UEFI/BIOS for the relevant options).
If it seems that hardware incompatibility is the issue, then in my opinion, your best bet is to install it as a VM. If you have some hardware that you particularly want to use for this project, I'd recommend installing a hypervisor, such as ProxmoxVE. Then just install TurnKey Zoneminder as a VM. Note that on Proxmox you could download our LXC template instead, but I recommend a "proper" VM for minimal fuss.
