2.0MP 1080P HD 1920TVL Security Camera Hybrid 4-in-1 TVI/CVI/AHD/960H CVBS CCTV Camera Outdoor Indoor,80ft IR Night Vision,Weatherproof Bullet Camera For analog Surveillance DVR(Black)

I really like this Zosi camera! It has been a life-saver for me. I have an older Swann video surveillance setup (2016 vintage) with 960H (480p) cameras. Recently one of the cameras failed. I contacted Swann and they no longer manufacture or sell these older lower resolution cameras. I wouldn’t mind buying one of their newer 720p or 1080p cameras, but here is the kicker – the new cameras are not compatible with my DVR or the existing cabling! I would have to replace all the cabling and the DVR! The existing cables have been meticulously run through the interior of walls and/or conduit. Replacing the cables would be a massive job. That’s where this Zosi camera comes in. It is 100% compatible with my older DVR as well as my existing cabling. Both the video cable connector and the power cable connector plug right into my existing cables. I merely had to remove the old camera and mount the new Zosi camera. Even the mounting holes are the same! And the Zosi works great! I am now back up and running without any hassles. I should also mention that the Zosi camera looks identical to the old Swann model. Either Zosi made the cameras as a private label item for Swann years ago, or they reverse-engineered the older Swann camera after Swann discontinued offering theirs. Either way, Zosi has filled an important niche by offering these cameras. The Zosi is also a hybrid camera. It is compatible with 4 different types of DVRs. It has a tiny joystick that can be used to program any one of the four different DVR modes. In that regard it goes beyond the capabilities of the old Swann cameras. Zosi has done their homework and they offer a fine camera that is compatible with many different brands.

Bought this camera because it was so cheap. I figured if I didn't like it, what the heck,it was only $19!! I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the camera and the video quality. The color is a bit over saturated, but looks good. The night vision is pretty good also. I can see my whole front yard at night and it is 30 by 25 feet. Not bad for under $20 with Prime shipping. I found that good quality coax made a significant improvement in picture quality and clarity. When I installed the camera I used some really cheap coax/power/audio cable that I bought on Amazon with the camera. It was a very thin 100ft cable, about as thin as 12 gauge wire. Not good for video! Picture quality was about what one would expect for a $19 camera, crappy! On a hunch that the coax was to blame, I tried some 75ohm RG6 quad shield coax that the Comcast cable installer left me about a year ago. He told me it was the best for video applications, that's why they use it. It cost me $22 for a 10 pak of the BNC connectors needed for the cable and camera. Already more than the price for the camera, and if I had to buy the cable it would have been probably twice the price paid for the camera. BUT!, the picture quality was much better! I used the original cheapo cable for the power feed only and didn't bother with the audio, but it is there if I need it in the future. So, I spent $19 for the camera and about $30 for the coax/connectors(if I would have had to buy the coax) There are video/power combo coax on Amazon and elsewhere, but be sure to buy the best you can find. If you want the best video quality your camera is capable of you must use quality coax! You could use an amplifier close to the camera, but crappy coax will still degrade the signal. If your coax run is more than about 120 feet, you will still need quality coax and an amplifier! Of course there is the wireless way to go. The same conditions apply to wireless transmitter/receivers, you must use quality components in the system to get a quality video picture. I have a $100 camera I put up about a year ago(with good coax), and now a $19 camera(with good coax) and the difference between the two is very hard to see. I'm happy with this bargain camera and plan on buying 2 more.....

It works well for a temp replacement for my my Swann DVR8-8075 camera system, but the resolution is 960x480 and my Swann cameras are 1920x1080. Recordings seem ok, for the price and night vision is also ok. (Update: IR light failure) I purchased these again to replace the ones I got in February not realizing that it was only 9 months ago and now the IR on them failed. On these the IR light(s) are extremely dim compared to the 1st ones I purchased that just died after 9 months. But my original Swann cameras lasted 8 years. I guess they are still worth $20. From here on I'm trying one more brand and then buying a all new system...

I have Swann 4400 and 4500 DVRs. The 4400 only supports CVS and AHD 720p x 1280. The 4500 only supports TVI but will support 720p and 1080i. After reading customer satisfaction and on a whim, I purchased them. I was quickly disappointed that when I connected them to my 4400 DVR and switch to AHD, I did not have a picture. The manual is almost 99% useless. So I contacted Customer service to tell me the capabilities of these cameras as I seen on Ebay model 2112c are 1080i cameras. Customer service came back with wanting to know who, when and where I purchased, etc. Zosi website is 100% useless. It has no camera specifications or user manuals. So the reason I gave the manual 99% useless is that it did say there were setup menus in the camera and it tells you which way to push the joystick for what format. I connected to a standard monitor. I was able to enter the menus and I found the following. These are not 720p cameras but 720p/1080i cameras in several frame rates. These cameras in AHD and TVI default to 1080i. I was able to switch them to 720p and they worked with my Swann 4400 dvr. When I connected them to my Swann 4500 dvr, it didn't care and worked right away as long as it is in TVI both 720p and 1080i. What I was most impressed with is the night vision quality of these cameras. It must be because it has the square LEDs vs. others with dome LEDs. The Swan camera I replaced had only a "flashlight" tunnel of light with spec of 65ft. The Zosi lite up the cameras full vision of view in pitch black darkness. For a $20 camera, these are awesome for what you get in an HD camera. So the initial resolution and night vision are awesome, I just hope they hold up. In my opinion, if you have either Swan DVR I mentioned above, throw out your swan cameras and replace them with these. You won't regret it as it will breath new life into your security system.

I have had name brand security cameras for years, two of which finally said they'd had enough and drowned themselves. Small cracks developed in the camera case itself where it joins with the mounting base allowing water to do the rest. Now I've only been running this camera for a couple of days but so far I'm impressed enough to get on here and write a review. Our waterfront home presents a challenge for security cameras even during the day due to dramatically different amounts of sunlight. All six of my cameras covering the water side of the property have difficulty when the area they are covering is divided between complete shade and bright sunlight. My name brand cameras completely flare out the bright portion of the picture, you wouldn't see an elephant walk past! Not this little guy and the picture I included tells the story. Please note that nothing was done to this picture besides cropping it to get the manufacturers name out of it. With my other cameras the sunlit portion of this picture would have flared out so badly you would have had a hard time even seeing the windows let alone the furniture. And if you look closely in the corner by the sliding glass door you'll see the motion detecting LED flood lights. They are very bright and would really cause problems for my old camera. When those LEDs came on at night that camera's picture would flare out so badly that I couldn't tell you if my Golden Retriever was at the sliding door. I tested this several times last night and this Zosi camera was great. When the LED floods came on the Zosi gave me a great, no flares picture. Forget the dog, now I'll be able to check the recording and finally find out which cat keeps leaving dead little presents in front of that door for me. This camera is mounted on top of a deck railing, completely exposed to the eliminates. It shouldn't take long to find out find out how well it's constructed. Would I recommend this camera to a friend? Not yet, I'll give it a few months, but if the image quality remains as is, then yes I would. But, in the meantime I'm getting two more of these to replace a couple other name brand cameras I'm not happy with anymore. Keep in mind that the 3.66mm lens doesn't provide a huge field of view so if you're trying to cover a large area with a single camera this may not be the camera for you. Also, because the deck has accent lighting at night I can't give you an honest opinion on the infrared capabilities. Although I certainly didn't notice any difference from the camera it replaced. PS: If you have an area that your cameras Ir doesn't provide enough light you might consider just adding an Ir emitter. They are inexpensive and can provide a lot of light in areas you currently can't see at night. Search Amazon for "CCTV ir illuminator".

So far I have not been able to find the adaptor needed to conect the camera and see if it even works. So its 3's cause I'm a decent kind of guy. A little more info from the start would have been nice. I picked out the camera iI thought was good quality, [good thing the wife talked me out of buying the 4 camera system I wanted or I would be pissed rght now!] So I followed the prompts, other buyers usually... and got the power supply, [it wll run 4 cameras cause that's what i wanted], and the next prompt said buy wire. That made sense, so I bought 100 ft of wite and thought I was good to go. Power suppl shows, next day camera shows up. Packaging was ok, box in a bag, and I hate to admit it bit I was getting excited. By Sunday the wire showed up. I was out, but when i got home i scampered out back and connected to the camera, in the dark, [I mounted it the day it arried, told you I was getting excited !]. I connected, no problem, routed it quick and temporary, to my office in the basement. That is when I found there was a weird connector on the cable. I found that it would not hook up to my computer or my smart tv. I call my buddy he says yup, i found tha out the hard way to. You need a blm to usb adaptor they run abot $70 bucks. Are ou kiding me? Thats twice what i paid for this test set up. I think that the seller coukld make note somewhere in the add that there will be a need to adapt the in feed to what ever you intend to connect to. Smart guys like them should be able to list which one you need to connect to what you intend to view. There seems to be about 10 -15 diferent versions and it looks like i might need connect a few together. Amazon could have helped out as well. One more other buyers usually buy ...that informed you about the adaptors and links that take you too them might earn praise and a couple extra bucks. Time to update. I have to give credit where it is due. This camera is FANTASTIC! I cannot get over the clarity of the video i recieve. I am espically impressed wthe the night vision. I sctually had to go look and make sure the light's were off. It was that clear and bright. Beautiful, clear, and just like day time. All things considered, worth the hassel. Im so pleased, i have ordered another camera and am even more excited. Thanks for meeting the description and making such a brilliant product at such a reasonable price.

Got these for replacing two dead Nightowl system cameras. These appear be much better build quality and work fine with my old Nightowl system. These also have better resolution than the older cameras that they are replacing. Did a quick check when I received these cameras and they are working well at this point. The real test with these types of cameras come after they are installed outside in the elements for a period of time. But I expect that these will hold up well under use. Updated: 05/17/17 - Liked the first ones so much I ordered 2 more. These cameras are really good. The colors are vivid and correct, the night vision is crisp and overall resolution is great. I've had failing cameras on my older Nightowl system so I got 2 of these initially to try with that older DVR system. They work great, and what was amazing is that they show how poor the older cameras were. Grass is now Green instead of a dull off color, and the resolution is excellent. And the night vision is much clearer as well. I've already ordered 2 more and will order 4 more to replace the rest of the aging Nightowl cameras in the near future.

HIGHQUALITY CAMERAS, LOWQUALITY SOFTWARE. When viewing Security footage that has been recorded, the main NVR is laggy(on video playback) & you can't even pause the video playback to take a screen shot of them or pause to get info about car person etc etc. It needs an update immediately.
