Read this review before you purchase, install, or return this system. .. Seriously, this will help.
So, this is one of many systems I have bought and installed in my many years . What you will receive is a high quality DVR, with four very good cameras and the hardware to get it all connected. The DVR performs excellently. My old ZModo system looked great on the camera, but playback was one third the resolution, this one looks live during playback. This all sounds great, but there is always a downside, the downside in this case is the total lack of instructions. there are steps that are totally left out of the leaflet of instructions, and intuitive this is NOT. You will NEED and Android/Apple…

Great system and great value. Easy to install
I love this new system!I was on the hunt for a security camera system. After doing some research I decided I didn’t want to use a cloud based service that would cost me a monthly operating fee. I then looked at the big box stores, but I elected to try the ZOSI DVR wired camera system. Best value and cost by far.I installed the system without any problems. One could just hook it up and it automatically starts recording, or you can use many other useful features. My mom probably could have just plugged it in to record without any reading... if you want other features, some degree of technical ab…

Excelentes camaras
Estas cámaras son difíciles de instalar, no por que su instalación resulte difícil, sino porque es difícil seleccionar dónde colocarlas. La imagen es excelente, se pueden cubrir áreas muy grandes, se pueden colocar en prácticamente cualquier angulo que uno desee (esta es la parte difícil) e incluso graban en la obscuridad. Son tan buenas cámaras que incluso compré dos juegos más para poder tener más seguridad en mi hogar. El DVR incluye un disco duro de 2TB, lo que es suficientemente grande para grabar por meses sin tener que borrarlo en su totalidad; además se puede conectar a tu internet por…

Calidad al precio justo
Es de fácil instalación y material contenido es de buena calidad, hasta ahora no he tenido problema, leía que algunas personas tienen problema para visualizar su equipo en sus dispositivos móviles, solo como recomendación, una vez que haya creado la cuenta, solo es necesario que agreguen el dispositivo 1 vez nada más, la velocidad en la que puedan recibir señal de sus cámaras dependerá de la velocidad a internet que tengan en casa.

Plug in replacement
I bought this to replace a lightning fried Cobra security DVR that I purchased 3 years ago from Harbor Freight. I was able to save my old hard drive and installed it easily, then connected my existing wired cameras and monitor. Up and running after a quick set up and hard drive format. I downloaded their app to view the cameras while out of the home and it worked perfectly. Although picture quality isn't the best while viewing it this way, it was incredibly easy to access. My old Cobra system was a nightmare to view remotely, having to use ddns, port forwarding and a smart plug with remote acc…

Impressive Performance and Smart Features – Excellent Value for a DIY Security System
After doing extensive research and comparing various DVR options, I decided to go with the ZOSI 3K Lite 8CH CCTV DVR Recorder, and I'm genuinely impressed with what it offers—especially at this price point. I’ve been using it for about a month now, and here’s my honest experience so far:✅ Setup and CompatibilityEven though I’m not a tech expert, setup was straightforward. The unit came well-packaged with clear instructions. I already had a few older analog cameras (TVI and AHD formats), and I was relieved to see how easily they worked with this DVR. It’s truly plug-and-play for supported camer…

Great Security DVR For Under $60!
Along with Zosi quality and affordable cameras, this DVR is the way to go! It does not come with a Hard Drive, but if you’ve ever changed a computer hard drive, you can easily install your own instead of paying more to buy one already installed. Its just 4 screws to open the box, then use the screws that come with the hard drive to connect and place firmly inside the DVR. I installed a Seagate 1 TB Hard Drive and it works perfectly. Once installed and plugged in, the DVR automatically formats your hard drive and installs the software. You don’t need more than 1 TB as this DVR stores around a m…

Great product and service.
We bought this DVR for the purpose of replacing our old samsung DVR. It was easy to set up and seems to work well. Unfortunately it was not compatible with the samsung cameras that we had, so we returned it. They sent us the label and the refund came through after they verified the return.Now we are considering buying a set of Zosi DVR plus cameras, which costs less than buying a new Samsung DVR.

Bought DVR only, Good system, reasonable price
Bought just the DVR after reading reviews (had my own cameras). Initial set up was easy but then ran into some issues with the master password. Sent an email to tech support and response came within 12 hours with detailed instructions. For that concern and a few other questions I had about the system (user manual is a bit lean), worked with one support person, Slina, who was very helpful.User interface is easy to understand and allows for detailed programming of the DVR as well as the cameras (on/off time, names, etc). The default programming sets the machine up for 24 hour, continuous rec…

Great product and Outstanding Customer Service!!!
Just bought this one to replace my old Zosi DVR that didn’t not work with the new Zosi camera. Their customer service, specifically here is Bessie who helped me from troubleshooting my old device to pointing me to a new affordable one that would be compatible with my new system, provided one of the best service that I’ve experienced. Although, you may not be able to get them on the phone, they are very quick on replying to email and would answer your questions patiently. The video quality and the features that come with it are excellent for the price. Definitely recommend Zosi!Ps: They also of…

Zosi DVR 8-Ch works as advertised & customer services is exceptional.
Very happy to purchase the Zosi DVR to replace the discontinue unsupported the Qsee DVR. The setup is quick, straight forward and automatically defaults. Zosi DVR also works with existing Qsee cameras. Now I can remote the cameras with ZosiSmart app from my iPhone. Definitely love it and recommend this Zosi DVR. Also, customer services is exceptional.

Nice replacement
I had an identical Zosi DVR, and a lightning strike took out 1 channel on my number1 camera. I took the hard drive out of it and installed it in this unit losing none of the memory of previous recordings. I have 6 cameras installed on mine recording all day and night and I get just over a month with 2 tb of storage before it starts overlapping old footage .I had a Swann unit before in a previous home and Ican say this is a better setup.

Great replacement for Swan Dvr
This works well, better than the swan dvr that came with the security system. I like the app. The software is a little tricky to use as far as playback etc. Installing the hard drive was simple. It recognized it immediately.

Software still needs work. Good for simple installations
Edit: Through good customer service <after sales> and communications I am now updating my original review.We managed to get the Motion detection to work, through reconfiguration of the set up. Video quality is as good as your installed cameras. You still can't do full 24/7 record and Motion detect at the same time. <for the times that you want to catch what motion detect probably/unlikely missed and download the full time ontop of the motion detect.Phone App software is functional.Original review:Everything seems to work fine when working off the system with a monitor attached. But when it…
