Great review. Finally someone that show us the functions that we need to know and the ones that we had no idea we needed to know.
Wow I love this review. Thank you. Helps me choose
Thank you for the very informative vid as usual.. I will save money and get something better! You are the best!
You are welcome and thanks for watching.
Pretty impressive for what it is. I think it's picture quality is a lot better then most.
I agree.
Good video too, as usual! Thanks!
Thank you.
I like the picture quality, I think that the only thing that impress me. Well the Cameras look ok too.
Wow with some polish a firmware update Zosi is on the come up! I noticed when you tested ir night vison it was pretty clear and not washed like with most. I doubt it could read plates. Im looking into a plate reading camera.
Very good video merci 🙏🏾
Love your videos and ur reviews,
Have learnt a lot.
What would you recommend for he security camera system as far as NVR POE SYSTEM,two way talk is not must but good to have it.
Please recommend
Ive been watching your videos a few weeks and you my friend are doing a great job thank you, just wanted to ask you which reolink nvr system would you recommend me thank you GOD bless….
There is a new lowest price NVR setup that would be nice to review.
This set is currently 439 and the VEEZOOM 4pcs is 399 and seems to feature all these features.
I'm going to be buying a set in a few months so I'd appreciate a review to look at when I'm ready to make a buying decision.
There doesn't seem to be a good review out for these.
You've already sold me on the wired eufy dual doorbell (:
The picture quality is good on this one! Good night picture as well. And a good price. All in all, it looks like a decent system for someone on a budget and not needing the best of the best. I think I'd rather go with a Reolink 810/811, personally. I like those cameras a bit better and they seem to have a good app.
what i dont like about the REolink is that it only records at 12fps in night mode.
Can we get your thoughts and comparison on this to the reolink system?
very good image quality, both day and night, is worth buying at this price especially since it is the complete kit!
Which NVR are you comparing to at the same price point?
@@mr.c6674 i dont compare,i tell only fps are not enough!
@@COCO_87 20fps both day and night. Reolink has max 25 day and 15 at night (they are working on that in the upcoming firmwares). This has better night time performance based on that alone. Seems pretty good to me, especially for the price.
For the price though…also as you can see in the running man test, I think 20 FPS and probably 15 FPS is more than enough to identify a person or read plates in daytime…
@@gwaeron8630 wireles reolink cameras are very good, 30 fps 5 mpx especially 511w
Any chance of doing the number plate reading when you do the walk back on B&W views? Sometimes you may need to see something at night, I.e number plates etc. Loving the T-shirt BTW, it's what got me thinking about the above. Thanks for all your hard work 👏
You can't really do license plates at night because the light from the IR cameras washes them out. Those plates are made to be very reflective at night so doing a nightie test will just give you a bright, glowing rectangle. Can't see a thing.
I don’t do plate test at night because of the glare -> th-cam.com/video/ZqnW05lUHzY/w-d-xo.html
Thanks L.H.
You are welcome.
Am debating between this Zosi or Armrest 4k Poe system
What do you think is better,please give ur feedback
Vivint doorbell pro review you’ll love it ? Please lol
Seems like a great budget 4k nvr to me.
Can you set it to only record on motion detection or is it locked to 24/7 recording.
I got a smokin deal on the Reolink 4k nvr setup on a black Friday deal and at first it was set to continues record out of the box. Took me a bit to find the motion activated record setting but I did so I have a lot of headroom before the drive fills up and overwrites stuff.
This thing should be really cheap once they get out there and decent sales happen and the video quality is great for what you need.
Zosi said yes but I couldn’t find the setting on their NVR interface.
Does it bro like that every time or can you adjust it
Do you have to have a smart phone to set this up? Can you set it up on a PC or laptop?
Hi, ive got this system same after watching your review. Been over a year now and it seems the camera fails to work at night recently. First one managed to connect a 12v adpater. Now second one seems to be same issue. Do you still have this being used?
I also commented on the best home security cameras 2022 video about the same thing but... where does this system fall in those rankings you did 4 months ago as far as NVR PoE systems
Can these be set up through a Poe switch and only one network connection to the nvr?
I got some zosi cams just wondering if the lights will stay on all night can they be turned off ?
Hi sir. Even though zosi advertise it as 4k, the cameras of the system are infact 5mp. So is zosi false advertising or I miss something here. Currently trying to add a camera system to my house. Looking forward to your reply. thank you.
which do you think are better zosi or ANNKE 4K POE IP Security CCTV Camera System 8CH 8MP
Does this Zosi system send a snapshot along with a motion alert??
hello. image quality is better than reolink?
Would have liked to have seen a more detailed installation of the cameras and cables.
LifeHackster already has videos and so do others about how to install the cameras/cables.
These cameras are great however if you are planning to customise them and use them with platforms such as Scrypted I wouldnt bother as you have no control over the settings, they are stuck at 4k 20FPS with H265+ for example and the Zosi APP / NVR is required to customise them. ONVIF does work but it can be a faff. Only use this if you plan on using the ZOSI app only.
Is the cameras locked to 20 fps or can you increase it? What is the max fps?
Thanks for the review. Zosi system/app not as good with less features than my Reolinks IMO, but still decent for price.
I agree..
@@LifeHackster can I use a external poe switch instead of the built in ones so I can run one Ethernet cord to the nvr
Wow that camera looks beautiful, also the system is very very affordable, are these cameras are onvif capable?
Zosi said yes.
@@LifeHackster my friend can you make a video integrating this camera to ring pro , I know they announced you can add onvif cameras to their server as part video security pro
How Do I Open These Camera housings to TURN OFF the IR led lights because the software will not let me do so. I must use these cameras through glass. THANK YOU.
Could this system be connected to smart life app?
hey LF, i had a question for you . which wifi cameras have the best AI , in your opinion? eufy , wyze , google nest , ring , arlo , vivint etc ??
I’m not sure really but I know wyze have a lot of false detection..Ring is also not 100 percent…
Are these PTZ camera ? thx
In this aplication ZosiSmart we can change language on Polish (Poland)…?
How good do you rate this brand?
Please can you do a review of the august wifi lock?
I have to check. Thanks.
Do you know if this ZOSI system will integrate their wireless camera? Say if you get the 16 channel systems; you will get 8 PoE connections and the remaining 8 channels can be use for wireless camera.
does it still delay when connecting by phone?
Why doesn't ring come out with an NVR system like this? So they can make more in subscription fees to the cloud service? Or even Wyze.
I’m actually thinking of making a video on this topic…and for WiFi based camera companies need to ramp up the their game because the traditional wired PoE NVR systems are getting better and their functionality are getting closer to WiFi based systems but with way better video quality.
Has anyone found how to increase the volume on the 2 way talk speaker on the camera mine are very faint
Can you disable this alarm?
I purchased and installed 8 cameras with POE. I realized they don’t rotate from the app. Also, I get hundreds of notifications. Even with selected humanoid, selected blacked out areas, I get so many false detections.
I just bought this camera and the light is not coming out and the talkback/hearing feature is working I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong the camera shows everything fine but the features of the camera are not working again I could be doing something someone please help
Can you recommend an outdoor standalone 4K wifi pvt zoom cameras that will work with an iphone app?
I haven’t seen or tested a 4k PTZ cam that is WiFi connected.
@@LifeHackster thank you It makes one wonder why there are none given the 1gb service that people have in their homes which would easily accommodate the bandwidth required.
@@LifeHackster what type of camera and zoom is required to readily make out a license tag up to 50 to 100 feet away?
Can I use a 360 PTZ camera from another company with the ZOSI 16 channel NVR system?
Seems to be ONVIF compatible so I would think so.
Do I lose all pre sets to nvr if I lose power and then have to set it up again?
I don't believe so, I cut power for short time, but have generator that will kick on within a min or so and it seems to be ok.
That daytime video looked impressive. The nighttime looked pretty poor unfortunately. I guess they had to skimp somewhere.
I agree, junk
@@shanew7361 I would not call them junk. While they are no where near the quality of a Hikvision ColorVu, you have to look at the price/performance ratio. You can buy the enter 4x4k camers + NVR for $400 right now at Amazon. So these cameras are like $50 to $70 (per cam). What can you get in that price range? Maybe the 2k Imou or EZVIZ? To go Reolink it will cost another $170 or so to go 4x4k (spot light/night vision) + NVR.
They are pretty good for the price especially and I think better than Reolink (especially at night) ..but I will need to compare and probably do a comparison video.
@@LifeHackster really that’s interesting. Maybe it just didn’t show that well in the video but I thought it looked kind of poor compared to some of your recent Reolink videos. Maybe you can do a head to head.
@@timburton6540 you are right....very 'strange' calling this junk.
I’ve tried over and over. I can not get this to stop sending false motion alerts to my phone. It’s so bad I disabled the feature which is one of the main reasons I got this system. Any ideas?
Id like to know if this is possible too
I had this problem as well, If your system has AI, you can set it up to recognize face, human, vehicle, possibly pet if available, and then disable the motion detection. This will minimize the false alerts and then with settings on phone, can disable the sound in notifications. Depends what your needs are. I found out that my NVR model does NOT follow a person that comes in view, and I need to download an additional file from them to do so. Remember, it may be compatible with other cams if need to update one to do a better job in regards to your needs in a particular area.
who the siren works ?
What are the operating temperatures?
-10 C to 60 C
@@LifeHackster That’s sad. I was hoping to purchase this kit however, where I live it regularly goes below -20 C.
@@JessieMHadaller I know when I saw that..that is not a lot of range like other wired
PoE cameras.
Where are the servers located?
Hi
I get night owl camera Nvr wireless 4k
You got or will get ? 🤔
💐🌹✌️👍👏🌹💐
$500 is affordable?
Yes. For what it is. Show me an NVR system (not DVR) that has a 2 TB NVR, 4 cameras that records in 4K, color night vision and 2 way talk.
People this guy doing good job of advertising cheap brand CCTV camera. I know everything about the latest CCTV camera. Hack what ever your called. Review top brands like hikvison etc
Troll or whatever you are called….preach somewhere else…show me your channel that you are reviewing top brands of cameras for top money…or troll somewhere else..I think that is what you are called ;)
@@LifeHacksterlmao you handled him well.
Is that really a starlight sensor? Not that impressive at night.
That was my first impression too and I did reach out to zosi and they said that it is a starlight sensor..I will need to compare this with a camera that has one.
@@LifeHackster Yes, that would be great
Where it made? Oh! China! No thank you!
You will have a hard time to find something that is NOT made in Chyna!
Its crap. Colour night vision doesnt work without led spotlight.
Its a little smelly even with deoderant.
