ZOSI 8CH 4K PoE Home Security Camera System, 8 Ports 16CH 8MP NVR with 2TB HDD, 4pcs 5MP Outdoor PoE IP Cameras, 120ft Night Vision, Motion Detection, Remote Access, for 24/7 Recording

Excellent NVR system and great picture quality. I’d have to admit the price was cheap and didn’t expect much and I’m shocked how good this system is for the money. It is very easy to install and the cameras are surprisingly good quality and well built.. day and night video is great. The nvr setup is easy and has any feature I wanted, great expansion capabilities. I give it 5 stars.. I worked for a security AV company back in the day and this little system rivals a cam system that cost 10 times as much, you could use it for Business or commercial use and be happy.

This is a tentative review, as I have only had this item for a few days. It may change as time goes on.The system itself works well, with a few small issues. I knew it would as I have purchased cheaper security cameras before. The item was packaged well, with little space to move around. The picture quality is decent at 2 MP, however i have yet to try a 5mp camera but I suspect it will give a better image. All in all, I think it is a good system for the price.There are a few issues where the system needs improvement. The system did come with 4 ethernet cables, however they are not standard ethernet cables. Only 4 wires were in the cable instead of the normal 8 wires. The cables do work, however I chose to run my own cat5e lines through my house in the event i decide to update the system in the future and it requires such.The video is choppy and not fluid like on the older wired system. Still, it's not horrible and if something happens it will catch it.PLEASE NOTEThe manual is decent, but incorrect in a couple areas. First, if you plan on changing the camera sensitivity remember that it is reversed. 1 is the most sensitive and 10 is the least sensitive setting. I had an issue with the system not recording the first night and after some tinkering, figured this one out.As far as the phone and windows app, they work well but the manual omits certain things you will probably need to do. First, you must have you router forward the ports listed in internet settings on the menu. If you do not do this your routers firewall will block these ports and the apps will not work. A simple google search of your routers model and "port forwarding" will give you the information you need.The playback area is another issue that needs to be updated. As it stands, I can see my motion events but when it comes to playback you must click and watch each one separately. On other systems, after you watch the first event it will transition to the next automatically. This is not the case with this system. It is a bit time consuming having to click each event separately and loading it in.Pros:AffordableExpandableDecent interface speedGood Camera QualityCons:Slightly choppy videoEthernet cables are on the cheap sideThe manual could use more explanations regarding setup. (see above)Motion playback is tedious, and each event must be watched separately.Final ThoughtsSo far, after a week, the system is running well. I give it 4 out of 5 stars on the assumption that I did know this was a cheap system, but had to spend extra time setting it up due to lack of information in the manual. There are YouTube videos that help, but none explain the issues above. Setup time was quick for the hardware, but took time to fine tune items. Again, this review is tentative and if an update is needed I will change this accordingly.

package contained nearly everything necessary to install four cameras, and get them wired and running with the nvr. at first i was confused (what else is new) as to whether a wifi router would be necessary to get this system wotking to the extent necessary for in house monitoring of my house' exterior day and night. one email to tech support and i had more assistance within 24 hrs than i knew what to do with. i mean nobody ive dealt with via amazon has provided as much detailed information about a product issue than these people. turned me from a frustrated cursing to myself product returning customer into a very happy individual with only positive feelings about this purchase. certain elements of the system could use a little work, but overall i would recommend this particular system and company to anyone looking for an inexpensive four camera security system with terrific tech support. i was watching a literal herd of bunny rabbits march across my front yard last night, and just spotted my garbage man taking the trash away. no criminals yet, but i am sure that if an evil doer sees the infrared lights surrounding the camera lens on any of these cameras they will likely pass on by. good deterrent, and great for nighttime nature watching. thanks for the help, and for the quality product! (ZOSI 4 camera 8 chan PoE system w/NVR).

I should start by saying that I am very impressed with the picture quality of the cameras. The install was fairly straight forward. If you are considering this system for the remote accessibility, keep shopping. The app that they advertise in this app and in the owners manual is not compatible with this system. You must instead use the “ZOSI view” app which is not as highly rated and much lower quality. I contacted tech support about my concerns with the app and NVR and after spending hours over the course of a week, they have done nothing but push me off and give me the run around. All I wanted was a system that operates the way it was advertised. Do not waste your time or money. You will not be sent what you purchased and will be offered no support afterwards.

I installed the ZOSI four camera 5MP POE system two months ago. This POE camera system has fantastic set of features for a very reasonable price. The instructions for setup were clear, also I went to ZOSI's YouTube site watched how-to videos. My 5MP cameras video quality are excellent. There is no monthly fee and POE system is easy to install because it uses a single Ethernet cable for both video access and electric power, avoiding the troubles of many sockets and wiring. I encountered a small issue during use, I went online for chat support which was excellent, Hannah is very helpful and knowledge, she immediately helped me to solve the problem, Therefore, I'm very happy with this purchase.
