Title: Very Quick Setup
Review: I was skeptical due to the price range. Most reputable Video Security DVR’s in this price range are total junk and the reputable brands with this DVR’s capabilities are usually in the $800-$2,000 range. I’m using this DVR to replace a LOREX 16 channel DVR that lasted 8 years, but was a NIGHTMARE to setup and wasn’t compatible with any other camera except LOREX cameras. The description says it works with all the old school high definition 1080pi cameras, but ZOSI customer support couldn’t tell me if the LOREX cameras would work. I delayed purchasing this DVR for months due to this dilemma. I bit the bullet and purchased the ZOSI 3K Lite H.265+ knowing I might have to buy all new cameras. Because I thought it wouldn’t work with my 14 Lorex cameras, I set it up in my living room using 2 spare Lorex cameras. I had this thing up and running and recording video in 15 minutes! SO! Anyone with a Lorex system they bought from COSTCO and HATES it, get this DVR and it is plug and play! For the price, I don’t care if it dies in 12 months. I’ll buy another one knowing I can get it up and running in 15 minutes.

Title: We will see…..Updated
Review: After receiving the replacement everything had gone pretty well and then I started having connection problem. Contacted support and they were very helpful. They took plenty of time and walked me through everything until I was able to correct the problem. Very good customer service! 10/13/2020Although the unit works as advertised I am always skeptical. Time will tell if this was a good deal. The Zosi cameras are a great deal. I paid $30 for 2 just to try them and they are equivalent to any other moderately priced ($75-$100 range) similar camera. I see absolutely no difference. Now, we must wait and see how they hold up. I have different brand cameras connected and all were easy to get to work. I also have an 1080 camera mixed in with these and it works as well. I have had 1 problem so far. I used a splitter to get the signal to my upstairs as well. Initially it worked but after about 2 weeks it just stopped working. I thought it was the splitter but it has been replaced and it still won’t work. The other weird thing is when connecting directly from the DVR to the T.V. only 1 of my cables will work. They are all brand new cables and the one that works is an ultra slim HDMI with audio/ethernet. Not sure what is going on so I have written Zosi. We will see what kind of support they have. I am giving them one star just because of the current weird situation. I will come back later and change if everything works out right.

Title: 3 failures Continuous looping Of initialization
Review: I bought my first Aussie just under a year ago. It worked fine for a few months and slowly, but surely started having problems with screen freezing in the unit rebooting for no reason at all then it just quit the HDMI video output was dead and the alarm just sounded all the time, since I had it for longer than it was warranted for I bought a different one out of the box. It didn’t work . The initialization just started looping and looping and looping after 20 to 25 times it might call up the cameras, but after a few minutes, it would start looping again. It was pretty much useless. Customer service is very responsive and they sent me a new one and worked for three days, and it started looping. I was able to get it to work for a couple of days, but any kind of adjustment I tried to make would cause the screen to freeze and the only way you can get out of the screen is to restart the box which starts the loop all over again , also I was never able to get the email to work on two out of three of the units. I was able to connect my network and to set up my Wi-Fi but no matter what I tried and what I did just would not work so I was not able to get any kind of alerts From the unit . Long story short I contacted Zazie told him I had enough and I wanted my money back and I’m waiting for the return slip so I can mail it back. Maybe you had good luck. I don’t know but three in a row that’s a little bit much.

Review: Great basic system. WiFi adapter not included so must be plugged into Ethernet. Unless you purchase RT3070 or RT5370 Wifi module.
