Review on 📷 ZOSI 1080P H.265+ Home Security Camera System, 5MP Lite 8 Channel CCTV DVR Recorder with 1TB Hard Drive and 8 x 1080p Weatherproof Bullet Camera with 80ft Night Vision, Motion Alerts – Outdoor/Indoor Surveillance Kit by Calvin Chavva

This system is good for the home but you get what you pay for. This rating is based on my personal experience. Pros: Good picture quality day and night, motion email alerts you can view on your phone, decent customer service, overall easy to set up. Cons: Motion detection! Zosi has developed a "blue grid" that you can change to exclude parts of your image so it doesn't email you if there's movement in that particular part. For example, if your image contains a road, you can remove that portion of the blue grid and "not receive email" if motion is clipped by that portion. This is not a fact. The blue grid just doesn't work. I used to get about 1000 emails a day from a camera, I had to turn off email notifications for that camera. I've turned off the blue grid completely and I'm still getting email notifications. This way the movement works and you get notified but after 3 days you want to turn it off. Motion Sensitivity: I can walk right in front of the camera and there's a 50% chance I'll get an email with me in the picture. However, I will get a TON of bushes and leaves moving around my yard. How is the blade raised, but did I hit or miss? Not very comfortable. Phone App: For some reason Zosi offers several different phone apps for viewing your cameras. If you have to use the Zosi View app, it's good for watching live video, but otherwise it's rubbish. The development of the application is not going well and needs a major update. If you're lucky and have to use the Zosi Smart app, this looks a lot better. You can easily see when there is movement on the day's timeline as it is displayed in blue. The Zosi View app, on the other hand, is a solid green bar with black markers on the timeline to identify the time of day. Advice only. If you need to contact support I wouldn't email them. If they do reply, they probably won't reply to your email within a day or two and probably won't answer the question on the first try. I strongly recommend to contact them via Facebook. FB messages will be answered within a few hours. Once you communicate with them during business hours, you will get answers to your questions within minutes. I repeat you get what you pay for. This is a good value for people on a budget who want to take it easy,
