Overall a budget system with some downsides

This camera system is a good buy for the price and is quite impressive. I install camera systems for a living and decided to try this to help a family friend who was on a tight budget. I would normally advise all customers against the ZOSI system, but this is acceptable. The camera system seemed simple and straightforward to me and was installed without instructions. My friend is a cell only user, which means he only accesses features from his phone. and the monitor will be disabled after installation. Let me just say that the Zosia Smart app is rubbish, but acceptable if you just need to peek and occasionally replay. Motion and email alerts are easy to set up, but don't forget to add a DNS address in network or email settings and alerts don't always work! Knowing this would save me an hour of troubleshooting, the video can be found online. Here are some additional pros and cons. ADVANTAGES: Camera angle of view exceeds 95Β° - quality and motion detection are unbeatable for the price - bright infrared light, good visibility at a distance of about 40 feet - easy setup on NVRCONS - cable thin two-wire cable with a very affordable jacket. I would suggest using your own category 5e+ cable for long distances or difficult locations as the cable provided is easy to connect and break. The round camera mounts are PITA and don't seem as tight as you'd like, but they're acceptable (keep them up and out of reach) - as I said, the app's UI sucks, but it works. and it's P2P, so you don't need to do complicated router settings to see outside your home network.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
