Update: 21July2022 Had a self-inflicted, video "out of range input" problem. Louis at Customer Service told me how to configure and install a Fat32 bootable update that fixed the issue. Still great customer service.
Original: I have had this ZOSI ZR08FN DVR for over three years. It has always been a solid, reliable integral piece of my home security system. I recently had a question about resetting the DVR because I could not get it out of scan mode. Ian at ZOSI emailed the solution the next day. Excellent customer service.

**Updated** Great Q-See or general DVR replacement.
Debated on 4 stars but decided that wasn't fair because of the price, this is great for what it costs. I had a Q-See system go out on me recently and it was something with the motherboard not powering the hard drive. I think I paid over $700-$800 at Costco at the time and only had it for 1-2 years. Not wanting another cheap system I started checking into upgrading my DVR to a POE IP camera system but needed something in a pinch so decided for $60 what do I have to lose.Got the unit, plugged in the coax cameras, monitor, LAN, etc. and everything came right up. The interface is as good or better than the Q-See was. I have a static IP at my business and configuring the Q-See for remote viewing was a nightmare of port forwarding. This one has a type of P2P login that I was skeptical of because you have to register but it came right up and the client is lightweight. I haven't tried to go the straight IP route yet.My Q-See had a 2tb hard drive that when I pulled out was full of old video. The ZOSI recognized the drive and asked to format it which only took a minute.I view on an iPhone and mac using the apps. The mac app is only showing me SD which is bad quality but the iOS app is allowing a SD or HD option. All in all it will take some getting used to because it's different (the software on all these is questionable at best) but for $60 this is fantastic.** 1-month update ** So I had to drop it down to 3 stars. My above overview stands with the exception that within the first week the unit experienced video degradation on two of the ports (see screenshots). Even switching the cameras and cable the problem stayed to the two ports (actually the first two ports only) and didn't follow the cable/cameras. I can say that ZOSI was very responsive and sent a new unit. Installed the new unit and for the first day everything looking good then the same issue came back. Admittedly, I have the DVR installed in a DVR lockbox and the monitor sits on top of the box so maybe there is some sort of interference but not sure. For $60 I will move the unit around to see if I can get it to work. ZOSI was still responsive and willing to try and troubleshoot. If moving the unit around fixes it then I'll post a new update but even if this does fix it there is something up with the unit that makes it susceptible to interference. It really is odd that two units experienced the same issue on the first two ports.

This DVR works great, WiFi remote viewing is very problematic most of the time.
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2018
This was an easy setup. Wifi works pretty good but can be weak so I used an extension USB cable of 15 feet to move closer to my router. Signal is good. Monitoring cameras away from home on cell phone data is a problem. "Failed to connect" is a problem after a few minutes it will not even allow you to login into app. So I am working on it. Using WiFi at my house is fine but sometimes it will fail to connect periodically. The WiFi card they recommend works good and installs quickly. The cameras work good at night and excellent during the day. Finding a prerecorded spot to pkayback video is a bit of pain but works. Quality of the unit is good. Has a built in fan to keep stuff cool. Hard drive install is easy. Video quality is more closer to 960H than 1080p. The cameras will need a seperate power supply because the unit power suplly has no options for y adapters. DVR is compact in size of about a small dvd player. I use the HDMI output for best picture. The price is very affordable. I hope it lasts or if ever needed for repair Zosi will have a quick resolution. I gave it 3 stars but the remote viewing or playback away from home is very finicky and problematic. This is why I bought the unit in the first place so I could watch or see my property when I am away from home. The app is easy to use once you scan your DVR. The screen shot is of the app with my cameras.
