Review on ZOSI 16Channel Security Surveillance Detection by Deana Schiernbeck

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Cannot view remotely

The local performance of this DVR is barely adequate. You can view your cameras in real-time on the monitor, and while they're recording you can't set them to record motion, even if it's advertised as such (thus filling up all disk space with meaningless recordings where nothing happens). , which, as you understand, also makes searching for real events quite tedious). However, remote viewing is such a complex and cumbersome task that having this DVR is almost the same as not having it at all. I usually like to look at my cameras on the PC as I work away from the office quite often and being able to switch between work and cameras makes life a lot easier. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the client PC to work on any of my three PCs (Dell desktop with Windows 10, HP desktop with Windows 10, and HP laptop with Windows 10). Customer support said there was a problem with my OS installation, firewall settings or internet connection which I find hard to believe as the two desktops are in different locations and connected to different routers and my laptop was unable to install the client . Stream video from your camera over any Verizon wireless network or cellular data. I've gotten the Android app to work every now and then, but it's often very buggy: either it can only load a few threads, or it freezes on one camera and can't switch to other cameras, or it can't load at all Nothing. I have to keep quitting and restarting the app to try to view anything. In short, save your money. This is a bad investment by any measure.

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • Too long to wait
