ZOSI 8 Channel 1080P CCTV Camera Systems 4pcs Outdoor Weatherproof Home Security Camera H.265+ Surveillance DVR Kits with 1TB HDD 80ft Night Vision Motion Detection Live Viewing Email APP Ale

Estas cmaras son difciles de instalar, no por que su instalacin resulte difcil, sino porque es difcil seleccionar dnde colocarlas. La imagen es excelente, se pueden cubrir reas muy grandes, se pueden colocar en prcticamente cualquier angulo que uno desee (esta es la parte difcil) e incluso graban en la obscuridad. Son tan buenas cmaras que incluso compr dos juegos ms para poder tener ms seguridad en mi hogar. El DVR incluye un disco duro de 2TB, lo que es suficientemente grande para grabar por meses sin tener que borrarlo en su totalidad; adems se puede conectar a tu internet por si tenemosque salir (aunque no creo que esto sea posible en estas condiciones). El DVR permite conectar otras 4 cmaras, tomar fotos, mandar archivos a una memoria USB y est en espaol, ideal por si tenemos dudas en su manejo.

Amazing easy to put up best thing I ever got very clear can record For a very long time 5 stars

This cctv system works well, although I had a bit of trouble with first box as we had a power cut and stopped working, contacted zosi who were very helpful, they sent me a link for firmware upgrade which unfortunately didn’t work, so I had to send box back bit of an inconvenience due to lock down, however they refunded postage promptly and got new box within the time they indicated it would take, all in all very happy with product and service received, well done zosi

I am highly privacy driven both in public and in cyberspace. The system works great. The interface is pretty easy to use. Great 1080p picture. Great night vision. I went with hardwired cameras due to their lack of vulnerability to cyber threats. However, the DVR does have an ethernet connection and there is an app you can use to monitor the system. I will continue exploring the cyber vulnerabilities of this system to ensure it does not sell info or footage to a third party. The only gripe I have is that the motion detection is pretty touchy, even at the lowest sensitivity level. One bug flying in front of it and I’ll get a notice. I also noticed that if a car drives fast enough in front of my residence, I still get a motion detection notice even though I have removed that area from my camera’s detection grid. For the money, I can’t complain. Better than paying ADT $40/month to tell me my dog tripped the alarm. Be prepared for a hard day in the attic or crawl space to install, that’s the price you pay for hardwired systems.

Tech support is amazing. I’ve had to contact them a few steps to walk me through setup, and password resets. They have only been wonderful and helpful.

Overall, the product works. I haven’t had issues using the app and staying connected. I wish they would update the software to be more aesthetically appealing, but it gets the job done. I’m still playing around and trying to figure out how to get the mic to work. However, video quality is great and the equipment functions properly. Motion sensor is super sensitive so it does go off when the tree moves. I don’t have experience with other motion sensors to know if this is good or not. However, like I said it gets the job done. If there’s movement, I am notified.

So overall, I do like this product.

Good product, but i forgot my password and i dont know how to reset it. I ve tried with 12 timpe click mouse, doesnt work. Any help. I have no internet there. Thank u

carnt get info to sort out on phone it only shows on phone in house untill i can get info for phone , its no good if im on holiday and i carnt get it on my phone ?

I decided to write a review. For the money I think this product is well worth it. I had one bad camera and they replaced it quickly without a problem.

It does require some maneuvering around in the attic to get set up. I also bought some extra cables that were a bit longer. Don’t skimp on the quality of these or your video quality will degrade. We have had temps -29F here in Minnesota and these cameras have worked great without incident. No fogging, condensation or failure of any kind.

Wi-fi set up could be a bit easier. Not quite plug-and-play but don’t need to take any classes either.

Pictures show night and day images from my phone that I can see from anywhere verizon has a tower.

Again, great for the money, would buy again.

Additional 5/7/19: I see reviews commenting on the motion detection. Very sensitive and yet also works intermittently. Set it to record all the time NOT after detecting motion. The If you have the 1 TB DVR it will record several days in a loop.

Additional: After using these for a few years I thought I would add to this review.

A year or so into this my cameras stopped working after a bit of trial and error I found the power cord to the cameras was faulty. Found a “not quite matching” cord laying around the house and that seemed to work just fine. fast forward another year or so and night vision on all cameras and the camera with the longest video cable stopped working. Thought maybe 2 years was as long as night vision lights worked as none were coming on. Bought 4 new cameras and those ir night vision lights did work either. Contacted Zosi and they do try to help. You need to wait a day or so due to night/day differences. Something also lost in translation. They had no more help than the 7 fixes on their website and owners manual.

Got to thinking about that cord I replaced about a year earlier. Bought a new OEM cord and the system again works great. If you have night vision or long cable issues check you cameras power supply.

Quite happy with this product. Does everything it’s suppose to (except motion detection, just turn it off). The hard drive occasionally makes noise if it restarts like when the power goes out but at this price can have a spare. NO MONTHLY OR YEARLY SUBSCRIPTION. YAY!

I needed help from the customer service to get this started online. The easy part was mounting the cameras. The writing in the instruction booklet was very small so had to follow some instructions online which actually misled me. Hence having to contact customer service. Ayami was very patient with me and helped me to view the cameras from my phone. I just need to do some finishing touches now so the cameras can notify me of any movement when I’m away from the house. I may need help again. Ayami was very helpful, sending screenshots etc. Thank you Ayami

UPDATE: APP WORKS!!!
The cameras and system are of high quality. The DVR and cameras work great. BUT, the ZOSI Smart App does NOT WORK! As soon as you install the app, add the system to the app – CRASH goes the system immediately, and it reboots itself within 1 to 2 minutes. Once the DVR restarts, if the app is still open, again it will happen. If you close the app, it works great until you open the app – down it goes. I tried emailing the Zosi people, and used the help of an Amazon Tech guy who had me try using the 365secu app which did not recognize the device, and uninstall and reinstall the ZOSI smart app which the same thing just happened again. Back to Amazon it goes – going to get the Night Owl system which is nearly identical to this one, but the app works great. (My husbands parents have one and my husband installed it for them a few months back – still working great with no problems).

This took time to install because of the running the cables through the house and inside the walls, as it’s currently a building site. Once I’d worked out where to fix the first camera, the rest were straight forward. The cables were a big thing for me. I had plenty of slack leftover at the end, and the plug and play was great. It worked from the off. No messing about. The camera is clear in the day. I haven’t fully tested the night vision with someone walking around yet. The place looks very dark on the screen, so I might place some lights outside to bolster the quality. But for the money, this kit provided everything I needed. I only had to add a monitor and router. It’s that simple.

Zosi easily matches upto if not better than most leading brands.
The DVR is easy to use with clear vision day and night.
Camera are built to last as I have domes and bullets but great quality, Built to last
Tech team are one on a million you can either email or what’s app and speak to a real person on the other end, VERY POLITE AND FRIENDLY.

Price is brilliant, nice cctv kit, cameras made in plastic not in steel hopefully will last, but definitely never rust. Cameras at day is good, but at night very poor. Will change cameras to better ones. Dvr recorder is one of the best, but fan is little bit noisy. Customer service is best on Amazon top class! I did changed from 5 to 4 stars, because cameras are very poor at night.

Fantastic piece of kit. Very easy to set up. The mouse that is included could have a slightly longer cable but thats the only fault i could find.

I love this new system!

I was on the hunt for a security camera system. After doing some research I decided I didn’t want to use a cloud based service that would cost me a monthly operating fee. I then looked at the big box stores, but I elected to try the ZOSI DVR wired camera system. Best value and cost by far.

I installed the system without any problems. One could just hook it up and it automatically starts recording, or you can use many other useful features. My mom probably could have just plugged it in to record without any reading… if you want other features, some degree of technical abilities is needed.

Points to know:
1. I created a gmail account just for this and set security on my gmail to low so that the ZOSI dvr was able to use the outgoing mail server without any issues. I could then make settings on the DVR to email me alerts when motion is detected.
2. I didn’t use a PC to program, but rather the included mouse. It’s easy. One can then look at a frame and select where in the frame to look for motion and set the sensitivity. This is useful if a frame has trees blowing and cars going by, but you only want an alert if a gate opens.
3. I downloaded the ZOSI app for my iPhone and I initially couldn’t get it to work. I emailed their tech support and they were fast and helpful. The manual is not well written and the tech support by email required me to think a bit differently. I sent screen shots and they texted back, “Please use zosi smart app on your phone, your DVR’s network is okay,And the e-mail issue, the smtp server is smtp.gmail.complease refer to the below link” I was initially thinking… “don’t they see I did use the ZOSI app? But then I thought to look and there is more than one app… and there is one called, “ZOSI smart” I had ZOSI view. So get the right one! And I quickly said to myself… that’s how I set up the email… but I wrote “google” and not “gmail”. It was easy once I corrected my mistakes. Thank you ZOSI support.
4. Lots of options for cameras and DVRs. I have a guest house and a front house. Small city lot, but still further than the 65′ of run for the camera cable. I ended up buying 2 different ZOSI systems. Both are great. The cost is great. The app registers the devices and I can monitor from my iPhone.
5. In trying to solve some email issues before contacting their support, I read some posts on setting up port forwarding on your router. Don’t worry… it wasn’t needed. This isn’t as complicated as I was thinking!

So in the end, I was able to install 2 systems with 6 cameras and my property is covered! All for much cheaper than a monthly fee based service.

Amazing service bought a Xmas gift for my parents after a recent spate of burgularies in the area they were thrilled my dad said very easy to install one of the cable heads was missing connection emailed zoos responded straight away new cable sent without any problem don’t often get such good customer service I am ordering one for myself excellent seller and a credit to amazon the reviews speak for themselves

Fantastic product, will continue to install these as I can offer a low price but quality product. After salss service is the best I’ve dealt with.

Fantastic service. Cameras easy to install.quality item will recommend. Better than leading brands (s..n) two year gaurntee is good too

Very happy with the system. Works as expected but the only problem is there is no printed operating manual with it. Would make it much easier to work and understand.

**update** So the company did reply with a detailed fix, with links and step by step instructions. It took a minute to get through everything, but it all works great now! The fix was an update that i had to put on a thumb drive, then restart the DVR to upload it. The customer service was actually really good overall. There was a delay in communication, but the replies were usually waiting for me when i woke up the next day. I’m changing my review from 3 to 5 stars. If anything changes in quality or usage, i will post another updated review.

(original post)
As of right now, I can see the feed from my cameras (and it looks great), but only on my TV. I was really excited to get these installed, but now its been more of a headache. I opened everything up to test it, but i didn’t have a cable to check on the tv yet, so i downloaded the view app. Everything looked good, so i went ahead and installed them onto the house. I continuously checked the cameras on my phone while i was making final adjustments to angles and whatnot, but when i went to actually hook it up for bigger display on my tv, everything stopped working on my phone/ipad. Now it won’t connect, saying ‘username/password invalid’ I hadn’t changed anything from the first day, and now i can’t make any adjustments or even hit record on the HD. The ONLY thing that it does now is show the feed on my TV, and thats live – not recorded.

I emailed the company that night, and they did respond very fast, asking for detailed pics to help resolve the issue. I sent them pictures of what i saw on the tv and the app. I probably sent them too many, but i wanted them to see what i saw. That was yesterday morning, and I haven’t heard anything yet. I went online, and saw that actually lots of people were having that same issue, and there are about a million ‘fixes’, but nothing has worked yet.

I will update my review with 5 stars if the company responds with a fix, or even if i just find one that works online.

Very well made, cameras are exellent clear and night vision is great. Also after sales service is of a very high standard, and always there to help and guide. Would recommend and buy agai

Exactly what I was looking for – a simple 8 channel DVR with 4 decent quality cameras and 1TB hard drive included. Simple setup, just follow the on-screen instructions. Even includes a USB mouse so you can use the functions of the DVR with ease.

Decent feature set for a reasonable price!

Easy set up and worked first time. One camera malfunctioned after a few days, however, the seller immediately send out a replacement camera without question. Great service and great product. My nana was over the moon! 🙂

I was skeptical about the price of this whole entire set but don’t I am glad I did!

These cameras were very easy to setup and the quality is very good but there are some things you need to know before purchasing them.

1. Web Interface

The Web Interface ONLY works with IE. In order for this to work you need to go into IE’s settings for your zone and change ActiveX to Prompt for unsigned active X controls.

I have had some crashing of the web interface but nothing unbearable. I do like the program that comes with the kit but just like anything else, it has a learning curve.

2. Wires

These are terminated wires. The size is very large so in order to run them to your DVR you will have to drill at least a 5/8″ hole to run these cables unless you can terminate yourself then that would make that part of the project easier.

3. Motion Sensitivity

It took me about a week to figure out the sensitivity of the motion detection. 1 is actually the highest sensitivity and 10 is the least. If I didn’t see that important fact on other review on amazon I would have still been fighting that part of the configuration.

4. Mobile App

I use the mobile app (secu365) and it is pretty straight forward to use. I do not have my cameras out on the internet. I set them up on a segregated VLAN that has no traffic out to the internet. I use VPN to access my system when necessary for security purposes.

Overall, I am using these for home surveillance. They are great for that purpose. For the price you really can’t go wrong. The things mentioned above were just small obstacles I came across when working with this system so hopefully if you are reading this review you will benefit from the information I specified above. Feel free to ask questions if you have any about this system.
