Picture clarity is amazing. Night vision is every bit as clear as daytime and the system is easy for anyone to use.

Easy setup with perfect picture quality

works ok , one camera blurs out.

Bought this wired system for my free standing garage, because we don't have dedicated wifi. Did a temporary test setup in my home since I was skeptical of the quality at such a low price. Didn't want to put in the effort to do the final install to find out it was a bust. Installed the $35 500 GB Western Digital hard drive that I purchased separately, hooked the DVR up to an old lcd tv via vga, hooked up cameras, powered it up, followed instructions to format the hard drive, set it to record and watched it work. Took 30 minutes and it has been running for a couple of days with no issues. I've been able to easily review the recorded content. Camera Day/night feature works great and transitions smoothly as light levels change. I'm now satisfied it really is a great deal and will do final install in the garage next week. Several friends have indicated an interest in purchasing a system for their homes.

Picture quality isn’t great. Can’t get the notifications to come to my phone. Says human detection but nothing is there. Beeps at moths flying around.

Update 12/26/2016- While I continued to have issues to where a replacement was required, Zosi support has been very good. All communication has been by email and they are timely in their responses and are truly intent on satisfying the customer. My replacement system is working well now thanks to their focus on satisfying the customer. I would recommend the system based on their customer support and goal to satisfy the customer.Update 11/14/2016- I emailed Zosi support about the motion detection and received a reply a few hours later (pretty fast given the time difference between the west coast and china!) They had detailed instructions that got my motion detection working and working well. I did find the quick start guide later and it had all the instructions I needed. Guess I should've paid more attention. I decided to upgrade my rating to 3 stars since everything works. But I believe that is a fair rating given the security issues I noted earlier during remote viewing.Update 11/3/2016- I see amazon deleted the URL for the dept of consumer affairs website about the insecure nature of IP cameras. It is too bad as I think people should be aware of what they are buying.'Today I tried the recording feature, scheduled and manual. Manual works fine consistently. Scheduled recording worked well for non-motion activated recording. The motion activated recording simply does not work. By default it is set to record 24/7 but there is no file available to view. I did some experimenting and still can't get the motion activated recording to work. Too bad, that is exactly why I bought this camera setup was to have motion activated recording. the old saying holds true, you get what you pay for. I am downgrading the rating to two stars. If this system was advertised as a live view, manual record view only then it might appeal to someone who is looking for those features only but it should not be advertised as doing more than it is capable. of.Update: I would not recommend the remote viewing via the web (from outside your network). The web interface does not appear to encrypt the data being sent over the internet and uses a remote server. Anyone in the world can access your camera views when you are accessing your security camera over the internet or web.(like logging in with your phone or laptop from another persons house) I could not find a way to encrypt the data. Setting a password versus using the default helps, but again your password is being sent over the web unencrypted and can be intercepted by a hacker. Here is a link to an article on IP cameras: [...]. Also I don't like the idea of my video data going to a website that I have no idea whether or not they will protect my security.I downgraded my rating to three stars based on the insecure remote viewing over the web method. The system is good for in network monitoring so far and I will update my review after trying the recording function.Previous Review:The setup went pretty well using two of the 4 cameras. I was able to access the DVR via my network after following the recommended changes in Internet Explorer so that it would accept unsigned active X controls. The user documentation had enough information to get me started and using my own experience I was able to safely download the active X control software from the dVr (or server). I ran some ,malware checks on the active X software and did not come up with any issues. I am still a bit concerned about installing an active X control software that is not signed and requires you to drop your safe guards on active X scripts. But I did return the security levels back to the original settings and will monitor how this active X software is used. I don't remotely view the cameras on a laptop that has sensitive information and have locked down my network to prevent an outsider from taking advantage of the software. Other than that the remote viewing works well. I would have preferred a more secure method to view such as "remote Desktop" rather than a web browser.With that said, I am pretty happy with the performance of the cameras and system. The daylight views are real clear for over 70 ft. The infared night view is good to about 25-30 feet so not as useful as the daylight. However, the areas I am monitoring have motion sensing flood lights that provide a much better view to well over 60 ft.For the price I am very pleased so far, even with some of the security concerns which can be mitigated with some effort and knowledge. I am going to install a hard drive soon and will update this review with the recording and play back performance.Considering the

These are great, it gives me peace of mind living it a tough part of town. I had one problem and zosi was extremely fast at removing my issue. If you want a great system and a great price, look no further. Thank you, zosi. 😊

Absolutely fantastic product. This was super easy to install, very easy to figure out, and I am completely amazed by the price and the quality. I have told all of my friends and family about it and I have got this company more business. I cannot go on enough about how wonderful this system is.

Leaves a rainbow band where there should be any colour. Perhaps they are just incompatible with Lorex machine but all my other cameras work perfectly.
