Oh you must’ve brought the same one but with the hard drive I have a DVR but I don’t think I have a hard drive I’m not sure how to tell I’m just getting used to this stuff and thank you very much for all your help so what you’re telling me is I can record but I can’t record a lot of stuff so I would have to look at the app to see if somethings going on correct or put the motion back on
Hey, just came across your channel as I've just purchased a Zosi security system. My system is only works on my phone when I'm home and it's switch to my home network. How do I get it to work on my smartphone while out? Oh, it doesn't work with my photo data either.
Hi Brandon,I Have the Zosi wireless security cameras I can't stop the alarm from going off when it changes cameras do you know how to solve the problem
I put in a 4T hard drive and just record everything on all cameras 24/7. HD's are cheap and huge so no need to worry about running out of storage space.
hello how do you send email alerts to your phone how do you input your email in zosi so i can get email alerts i dont know where to access that info please help
can we control the DVR (Like changing camera channels and other actions) using a universal remote? It is really hard to use the mouse every time. I rather prefer being able to control it from a distance using a remote.
I wish you could explain more details as to why it is iffy on motion detection. I read other reviews that said the same. But I don't know what a good system should do or not.
For the money you won’t get better on motion detection... a system with good motion detection that doesn’t give many false readings will cost 4 times more
I have a zosi & it's motion detection is so hair trigger it's almost useless unless you have it fixed on a location that nothing normally moves but the sun going in & out of a cloud or headlights from passing cars will set it off too.
I got the 4k 8 camera system 2TB backup, only feature I want that I don't have is color night vision but pfst... Who cares I can see everything and the night vision is great. It states you can see up to 150 feet away at night, but I watch the guy up the street come home at midnight and he is over 300 feet away.. great system, it docimiles in 1080p, but hit the HD button and BAM! You're counting nose hairs!
@@donaldfragale3733 id say it’s probably not that good if it’s the case. True night vision is colorless because it uses infrared like the ZOSI. Black and white is truly what you want with night vision
So quick question I have the same zosic system that u have and the motion when I turn it on I’m not sure how to use it so the sensitivity is it best to put it on one or higher and when I usually do it I block out the stuff so the motion don’t go off all the timeI only wanted to go off if there was actually somebody coming to the house how do you do that thanks
Oh OK well I’m trying to either figure it out or get a new security system I’m thinking about Xfinity home security system because I cannot figure this zosic system out thanks a lot bro
whiteboy12911 the ZOSI security camera a system is a great system minus motion detection. Xfinity system will be nothing but a bill in the long run. If you want quality motion detection go ahead and get a Lorex system. If you have ZOSI then your home is already pre wired you’ll save money in the long run over going through a cable provider who will charge you an arm and a leg forever or purchase the reolink system.

I saw on another video that it sets an alert for (P)ower or (I)mage (R)emoval. Essentially it allows you to also be alerted if the unit has been powered down or if a camera has been disconnected. Pretty cool feature, if you need it.
Just started having the same issue. Live viewing is good but, when viewing previous recordings "no data" or screen is solid black or screen flickers. Non stop issues since purchasing 7mths ago & Zosi provides no assistance.
kevin Hayes you mean in reguards to sensitivity? I had all of mine turned off... bugs would fly around the night vision and set it off but you could have a different experience You will just have to experiment to see what works for you
The hard drive in these units gets pretty hot with no fan in it so you'll likely get a shortened lifespan out of a HD however I salvaged a mini fan out of a junk pc & tied in in to the hard drives power supply wires to cool it down but I had to leave the the cover off to do that. I'll likely cut out a section of it later to get it back on.
The easiest way is to purchase a USB fan from amazon for $10 they are small ,just plug in and aim it at side vents , your good to go. Just seen a reputable review on them they last pretty good. Probably about as good as the Zosi dvr , I`ve been thru few different ones seems like every 5 yr no matter how much I paid so I went cheap this time Zosi.
Hate to differ with Brandon, but I have a 16 channel Zosi and love it. I have a monitor down in my computer room/home office with the grid display from Zosi unit that is upstairs so I can monitor the goings on around the house while I'm "at work". I think it is a bargain for the money - but you get what you pay for, a basic system that does well.
Quick question how do you set it up on your phone I have a iPhone every time I go to click on one of the cameras on my phone it says cameras are off-line what does that mean thanks
kevin Hayes your dvr is for sure connected to the internet right? Also read the book and make sure you’re using the proper Zosi app..there are quite a few
Yes I’m using the ZOSI VIEW app on my iPhone but every time I go onto my phone and hit the camera it always tells me cameras are off-line but I’ll double check
So that might be the reason why it’s saying my cameras are off-line the DVR might not be connected and the app do you want me to do ZOSI Smart or ZOSI view thanks
I saw on another video that it sets an alert for (P)ower or (I)mage (R)emoval. Essentially it allows you to also be alerted if the unit has been powered down or if a camera has been disconnected. Pretty cool feature, if you need it.
V Benvegnu I think you have to acknowledge it afterward it will not stop on it’s own... that I know of... you could always call tech support and give it a try
@@BrandonActionJackson What I mean is we have tried one box for the cameras and it was one beep as an alarm. That was fantastic however it didn't always display or record. So this is the third different box, everything is ok but the weird alarm. All good though, it doesn't seem possible.
I added a microphone that I bought off Amazon to my system. It is tucked in the soffet near where one of my cameras is placed and has a wire that runs back to my Zosi. Then I just have to indicate which channel I want the audio associated with.
lower the number on sensitivity the easier it is to set off u would think its higher number but its not dont know why they did it that way butt whatever
Had two different ZOSI systems. Recording quality is good. Functionality is mediocre. If you want working motion detection without false alarms don’t get it. I recently upgraded to 4K reolink and the quality is 10x better than ZOSI but motion detection still sucks
WHO HAS THE TIME TO SIT AROUND AND MONITOR SECURITY CAMERAS ALL DAY LONG. So great, you're staring at the monitor at 3am and you catch someone messing with your car. SO NOW WHAT? Are you willing to get up off your butt, grab your shotgun and go confront the criminal?

kevin Hayes awesome glad it worked... give this video a like and feel free to subscribe to me glad I could help
Great system. I just installed mine 2 days ago. So far so good. No glitches.
Do you know how to get motion clips setup notifications on phone means when any motion happen send the notification on phone

how to set up alarm on iphone?
Hi Brandon,I Have the Zosi wireless security cameras I can't stop the alarm from going off when it changes cameras do you know how to solve the problem
I put in a 4T hard drive and just record everything on all cameras 24/7. HD's are cheap and huge so no need to worry about running out of storage space.
Can you help. Everytime I press playback, it reads no hard disk or invalid disk. You know how to fix it? Maybe we Connected sownthing wrong
How can I get an audio alarm signal on my cell phone. I am getting the snaps but not any audio notification.
How do you get notifications sent to phone?
morning how do you change the channel from eight to 4 and let it stays mine allways go back after i change it
hello how do you send email alerts to your phone how do you input your email in zosi so i can get email alerts i dont know where to access that info please help
can we control the DVR (Like changing camera channels and other actions) using a universal remote? It is really hard to use the mouse every time. I rather prefer being able to control it from a distance using a remote.
suryavamsirs001 I do not believe it is capable unfortunately
Am trying to get mine to racord full time .... but it's only recording motions
I wish you could explain more details as to why it is iffy on motion detection. I read other reviews that said the same. But I don't know what a good system should do or not.

Is there a way to set this system up to record only on motion?
Teagan Padget yes there is however the motion detection is not the greatest ...
Why didn't you go over the alarm out ?

I don’t think color night vision is an option. In fact I’ve never even heard of color night vision but yeah good distance for sure
@@BrandonActionJackson Not for Zosi products no but others in the same price range have it...
@@donaldfragale3733 id say it’s probably not that good if it’s the case. True night vision is colorless because it uses infrared like the ZOSI. Black and white is truly what you want with night vision
@@BrandonActionJackson Yep and I am totally happy with my system as is!
My dvr cannot connect to tv. Rhe power light indicator is Red, not green. I use hdni cable. Please help
IJUST BOUGHT ONE AND HAVING TROUBE GETTING IT TO RECORD DOES IT COMES WITH A HARD DRIVE ARE IS THERE SOME KIND OF HARD DRIVE ALREADY IN IT
Unless it's sold with a HD, no, they mostly sell them without one.
So quick question I have the same zosic system that u have and the motion when I turn it on I’m not sure how to use it so the sensitivity is it best to put it on one or higher and when I usually do it I block out the stuff so the motion don’t go off all the timeI only wanted to go off if there was actually somebody coming to the house how do you do that thanks

Thanks a lot Brandon I’ll look into it
what do the yellow and green boxes in the bottom corners mean?
The hard drive is working recording
When it turns yellow it's storing a clip in the motion events video section which is separate from the 24/7 recording
Have you figured out the PIR settings yet? I can't figure out what its really supposed to do.
_Yuri_Bara_ I’ve never used a pir setting before
I saw on another video that it sets an alert for (P)ower or (I)mage (R)emoval. Essentially it allows you to also be alerted if the unit has been powered down or if a camera has been disconnected. Pretty cool feature, if you need it.
Hello...how do you record? My cameras are on but dont record ...i can just see like in your monitors thats it...thnxz
IM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM
Just started having the same issue. Live viewing is good but, when viewing previous recordings "no data" or screen is solid black or screen flickers. Non stop issues since purchasing 7mths ago & Zosi provides no assistance.
how do i set up the email
asking for a password
And quick question what would you usually put the motion on
kevin Hayes you mean in reguards to sensitivity? I had all of mine turned off... bugs would fly around the night vision and set it off but you could have a different experience You will just have to experiment to see what works for you
But say you away from the house how would you be able to tell what’s going on
So how would you do it
kevin Hayes I never liked the motion alerts I just checked my app and if I suspected something going on I would rewind the dvr and watch passed data
Or so you have yours recording Oh so I can record
The hard drive in these units gets pretty hot with no fan in it so you'll likely get a shortened lifespan out of a HD however I salvaged a mini fan out of a junk pc & tied in in to the hard drives power supply wires to cool it down but I had to leave the the cover off to do that.

they must have corrected the issue, my NVR with 1TB is always cool.
How to turn off that sound?
With all areas sensing, do you get 100 notifications per hour sent to your phone?
x2malandy yes I turned them off it has been the worst feature of this system
so you have had this a while now, still functioning well? any "do not buy this" or "dont waste your money" advice? thanks
Do not buy period
@@BrandonActionJackson thanks for the heads up
@@BrandonActionJackson so what ended up happening with the system? Have you switched over to a new/better system? I’m in the market

kevin Hayes that’s more than likely your issue... my iPhone uses the “Zosi smart” app... I had the same problem I tried Zosi view originally
So that might be the reason why it’s saying my cameras are off-line the DVR might not be connected and the app do you want me to do ZOSI Smart or ZOSI view thanks
kevin Hayes use Zosi smart and you have to sync your dvr with the app...
the pir opction in what carama ?
I’m sorry I don’t understand
I saw on another video that it sets an alert for (P)ower or (I)mage (R)emoval. Essentially it allows you to also be alerted if the unit has been powered down or if a camera has been disconnected. Pretty cool feature, if you need it.
Is there a way to change the amount of beeping because the continuous beeping is so unnecessary?..
V Benvegnu just turn off the alarm in the settings. The buzzer that I mention in the video is what you want to cut off
@@BrandonActionJackson But we want the alarm. I'm guessing you can't
V Benvegnu I think you have to acknowledge it afterward it will not stop on it’s own... that I know of... you could always call tech support and give it a try

yes, you can adjust the length of the beep from 5 secs on up
TK. can u Dona vídeo to solve night vision issues
How do i put in my email and phone number
How to add audio
LaQueena Miller not sure . You can’t do it with the cameras it comes with though
I added a microphone that I bought off Amazon to my system. It is tucked in the soffet near where one of my cameras is placed and has a wire that runs back to my Zosi. Then I just have to indicate which channel I want the audio associated with.
lower the number on sensitivity the easier it is to set off u would think its higher number but its not dont know why they did it that way butt whatever
my motion detection doesn't work
CalebGamer 16 it’s not the best I don’t use it anymore for motion
years later hows it working lol
Had two different ZOSI systems. Recording quality is good. Functionality is mediocre. If you want working motion detection without false alarms don’t get it. I recently upgraded to 4K reolink and the quality is 10x better than ZOSI but motion detection still sucks
Motion sensor sensivity with Zosi DVRs is contra intuitive! See it as 'motion treshold'. The lower the value, the more sensitive the detection!
Just found this out the hard way today.
Oh shit that's my problem thank you so much
WHO HAS THE TIME TO SIT AROUND AND MONITOR SECURITY CAMERAS ALL DAY LONG. So great, you're staring at the monitor at 3am and you catch someone messing with your car. SO NOW WHAT? Are you willing to get up off your butt, grab your shotgun and go confront the criminal?
I don’t get notifications on my phone super weird
Bernice Casillas you will if you set it up in the dvr to send notifications
Brandon Jackson how? Can you make a video just about that please
