Amazing product! Replaced Zosi module but still use Zosi cameras!

So I bought this to replace my Zosi DVR with Revain that I bought here. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get the Zosi device to work on my PC, Android or IOS devices. I popped this Annke box in place, set it up with an IP, installed the Annke app, then the iVMS-4200 software for Windows and Viola - it works like a shot! It's been running for several months now. I removed the 2TB HD from the Zosi box and put it in this one. Annke reformatted it and off we went! I connected 8 cameras to it, the same Zosi cameras that originally came with the Zosi kit. They work great and honestly I think they look better in Zosya! I have it connected to my TV via HDMI for monitoring, using Annke's Android app and iVMS-4200 PC software. In fact, with the included iVMS-4200 software, you can do all the device setup, motion detection, email notifications, etc., as well as view historical images and save images, instead of having to work on the TV via the DVR interface with mouse NO REQUIREMENTS! If you hesitate, buy this, it's the cheapest yet most efficient networkable DVR that works like a champ!
