Title: Vivid video, easy setup, great features on both software and hardware, No H.Drive, Helpful Website, loud fan,overall a good buy
Review: The system is well worth the listed price of under $100. It does NOT come with a hard drive. However will still work without one for live streaming the footage to your phone wherever you are throughout the world. The 19″ flat screen tv I had intended to have as a 24 hour live monitor for this setup was incompatible until I adjusted the settings on the dvr using a compatible 42 inch tv.Zosi’s website offers may solutions to problems that customers may have. It is very user-friendly and allows you to submit a trouble ticket if you can’t find the solution on your own ( or if your too busy to search through and troubleshoot yourself). My issue of the default password not allowing me to login after I first turned on the system was handle via email and took only a few days from the time I submitted the ticket. I did find a program that could be downloaded form the website that would ‘restore the system to default settings’ which initially seemed to discourage me of how easy someone could reset the system once inside and cover any tracks of their involvement, but that was mainly because of my personal life and trusting full-heartedly the wrong people. I assume most people wouldn’t take the time to have the program on a usb drive prior to breaking into someone’s home.The 4 camera that came with the system seem very sturdy. The adjustable sliding metal shield ( like a baseball cap shields the sun and rain from our faces) is a nice touch although make sure it fits in the grooves and takes some tension to adjust it both inward and outward. One of the camera’s adjustable screws that held the camera to the stand was too loose and separated from each other, however very easy to rescrew and correct the problem.Even though at the time of this review I am unable to get into the settings of my system, I was still able to view the 4 camera’s on a grid pattern of my living room tv. The quality was better than expected. The night vision seems a bit too sensitive, as I fiddled with one of the cameras in doors it had continuously made the familiar “click’ sound when switching to and fro night vision too much. The video feed as a result creates blind spots in coverage overed from that video feed for about 10 seconds until it automatically leveled out the contrast and such. Therefore it eliminates potential installation areas around the house I would assume. A branch that sways easily blocking out the sunrise or sunset every few seconds, if that camera was mounted pointing in that direction the feed would be painstaking to watch live.The DVR’s hdmi port was very tight, it took some pressure in order to get the hdmi cord to seat properly. I tested with a second hdmi cord and same outcome. At least I know it will not easily detach itself, would make permanent placing of the dvr system a bit easier if placing in a tight, non-easily accessible spot though. ( one less cord to try and reattach if it were to unattach while placing the unit in tight place pre-attached to the wiring. Also the DVR’s fan is quite loud! I suggest placing the DVR in a closet away from living area and bedroom’s to prevent unwanted background noise form disturbing your movie or sleep. If a closet is far away from where you wish to have your live monitor ( assuming you wish to have on e at all after initial setup and configuration) I suggest running an HDMI cord from the DVR to your monitor. A 25 foot HDMI cord runs around $15 or a 50 foot hdmi cord around $25.The 4 100 foot cords that feed the cameras power and send the video signal to the dvr system, is an eye sore! However once thought to be a must have for those concerned with privacy utmost privacy. ( although if you hook it up to your router for live feed to your phone where ever you go in the country, I would imagine it’s easier to tap into your system after bypassing your firewall vs sitting within 100 yards of your wifi camera’s, trying to capture packets sent through the wifi spectrum of signals and decipher and decode the feeds to only be able to spy on you when they are within close proximity of your home.) The cables are not shielded very heavily, thus they are able to bend easier and be stuffed int he corner under the running boards a bit easier. As long as these cords are not ran through heavy traffic area under the carpet or otherwise, they should perform without a hitch. A potential downside of the 100 foot cables is the connections, the cameras themselves do NOT connect directly into the video feed of the dvr, you must connect into one of the ends of the 100 foot cord and have the opposite end plug into the box. As best I could tell the coupling is not easily detachable and/or transferable to the camera’s pigtail. if a short distance is all you require from the camera you could purchase a shorter length cable or cut,splice and solder after mounting your camera and DVR if the extra wiring becomes to big of a bundle than desired if rolling it up and tucking away is not an out of sight option that is.Final thoughts:For the price, this system offers 4 durable camera’s with features both mechanical and within the settings of that expected from a higher priced unit. (motion detection and specific areas of the camera video feed to ignore of movement occuring to kick start the recording option and/or notification of movement has occured.The DVR itself doesn’t take up alot of room but the noise generated isn’t ideal for placing in a living room or bedroom if you enjoy things to be quite. The system is capable of streaming 8 cameras in total if you choose to purchase 4 additional camera’s or have 4 other cameras with the same connection capabilities already I imagine would easily integrate those cameras.Although the 100 foot cords are an eye sore when ran straight across the room, if properly tucked under carpet and ran under the running boards away form high traffic areas, it definitely is the better choice to go with than placing wireless security camera’s if you are not a carpenter or electrician and skilled at tapping into electrical feeds to gain power if the place you decide to mount your wireless camera is not near an electrical outlet).The website’s easy navigation and the ease at which to create a trouble ticket or search the knowledge base is probably the best added feature of this specific system.

Title: Good quality
Review: I had to replace one of my cameras that was damaged during Hurricane Melissa. This was delivered fast and set up was super easy. Same excellent picture quality as I had before.

Title: Good Value Video Surveillance System
Review: ZOSI DVR Security System and Cameras.Let me start by saying that the customer service is excellent. I have always gotten a friendly, helpful reply to all of my questions. I had trouble with the password setup and had to contact their help line. Anran offered a level of customer service that is hard to find these days! (Word of caution, they seem to be operating on a time zone outside of the United States, so do not expect an immediate response. I would email in the evening and have a response by the next morning.)The system itself is pretty good. I was unhappy with the long wait to get it up and going, but this was due to the problem setting up the password. I have had other systems and this seems to be just as good as the others but significantly less cost. Not much in the way of instructions, but I probably wouldn’t have read them anyway. I would look up how to get the DVR to cycle itself. My previous systems would do this automatically, but this one seems to default to just stopping when the hard drive is full. I learned this the hard way when someone vandalized my truck on Sunday and I found the hard drive was full and stopped on Friday…Very Disappointed (but not the system’s fault).The app was rather easy to setup. You scan a QR code on the unit or screen once you set up an account and then you can view your cameras from anywhere! Much easier to setup than my standalone IP camera!The image quality is pretty good. Way better than I expected from the price!Overall, a really good system for the money. It does act up and do some weird image rolling and things (see photos). Again, you really cannot expect it to perform like a thousand-dollar system. IF that is what you want, then that is what you will have to buy!One more piece of advice, if you are installing it someplace quite, make sure to buy a high quality hard drive (and I recommend the 1TB). I used an older 500Gb drive that I had from another system and it seems to be noisier than I would like for my home. It was ok for the business, but now it annoys me. Not sure how the preinstalled one sounds, but that may be a better choice, especially if you have never installed one. Install was easy, once I figured out that it mounts directly to the bottom of the unit. Good Luck!

Title: The image is crisp and colorful daytime and low noise, never grainy at night. I’d give it a sixth star for the price.
Review: It comes with power supplies, cables and everything you need for an easy setup. At this price, pretend that the 1280x720P cameras are $20 each (way worth it) and the DVR, etc. are free. Not perfect. It reboots itself for no reason every two days or so, but it goes right back to recording, A minor pain. I trust that like all things non-Logitech, the software will mature. The DVR doesn’t remember your display setup between reboots. And let us use a keyboard instead of having to hunt and peck with a mouse. It promotes short, simple, unsafe passwords. But, again, overall I am very happy with the technology and the value. The fact that the cameras and the recorder both run on simple 12VDC presents a host of ways to backup the power for extended outages. I should mention that streaming to the iPhone app (ZOSI VIEW) is PERFECT. Doesn’t fail when flipping between cameras or going full-screen like my old security system did. That makes camera setup very convenient since you can see what you are doing. I recommend that you buy one and get secure.
