ZOSI offers a variety of security cameras, including:

• Wired Cameras (PoE & Analog): Often part of a system with a DVR or NVR, providing stable connection and power. PoE (Power over Ethernet) cameras use a single cable for both power and data.
• Wireless (Wi-Fi) Cameras: Offer flexible installation as they only need a power source and connect via your Wi-Fi network.
• Wire-Free Cameras: Battery-powered for maximum installation flexibility, connecting wirelessly.
• PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) Cameras: Allow you to remotely control the camera's direction and zoom for wider coverage.
• Bullet Cameras: Distinctive shape, highly visible deterrent, typically used outdoors.
• Dome Cameras: More discreet design, often vandal-resistant, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
• Smart Deterrence Cameras: Include features like spotlights and sirens triggered by motion.

• Wired Cameras: Connect to a recorder (NVR/DVR) and often power source via cables. They offer a highly reliable connection, less susceptible to interference, and don't rely on Wi-Fi signal strength. Installation can be more complex due to wiring.
• Wireless Cameras: Connect to your network via Wi-Fi. They still require a power cable (unless they are wire-free/battery-powered). Installation is generally easier and more flexible, but performance depends on Wi-Fi signal strength.

Resolution determines image clarity. Higher resolution (like 2MP/1080p, 4MP, 5MP, or 4K/8MP) provides sharper images, making it easier to identify details like faces or license plates. Consider your needs: 1080p is a good starting point for general surveillance, while 4MP, 5MP or 4K offers significantly more detail, especially for larger areas or when zooming in.

Security camera night vision allows cameras to see and record in low-light or no-light conditions. Most ZOSI cameras use infrared (IR) LEDs, which produce black and white images in the dark. Some advanced models offer color night vision, using ambient light or built-in spotlights to capture color images at night, providing more detail. It's crucial for 24/7 surveillance.

Security camera motion detection triggers recording or alerts when the camera senses movement in its field of view. Basic systems detect pixel changes, while more advanced systems (like ZOSI's Person/Vehicle detection) use AI algorithms to differentiate between general movement and significant events involving people or cars, reducing false alarms.

ZOSI offers several storage options depending on the camera/system:

• Local Storage (NVR/DVR): Systems often come with a Network Video Recorder (NVR) or Digital Video Recorder (DVR) with a built-in hard drive for continuous or motion-triggered recording.
• Local Storage (Micro SD Card): Many standalone cameras have a slot for a Micro SD card to store recordings directly on the camera.
• Cloud Storage: ZOSI offers optional cloud storage plans, allowing you to securely store footage off-site, accessible from anywhere. This provides a backup if the local storage is damaged or stolen.

Yes! You can access live view and recorded footage from your ZOSI cameras remotely using the ZOSI Smart App (available for iOS and Android smartphones/tablets) or AVSS Client software (for PC/Mac), provided your cameras/system are connected to the internet.

Many ZOSI cameras are specifically designed for outdoor use and have an IP (Ingress Protection) rating, such as IP66 or IP67. This rating indicates they are resistant to dust, rain, snow, and varying temperatures. Always check the product specifications for the specific IP rating before installing outdoors.

ZOSI aims for user-friendly installation.

• Wireless/Wire-Free Cameras: Generally very easy to set up via the ZOSI Smart App. Mounting is typically straightforward.
• Wired Systems (PoE/Analog): Require running cables from the cameras to the NVR/DVR. While PoE simplifies this (one cable per camera), it can be more involved than wireless setups. ZOSI provides guides and support, and many users find they can DIY the installation. Professional installation is also an option if preferred.

• For Recording: Wired systems connected to an NVR/DVR can record locally 24/7 without an internet connection. Standalone cameras can record to an SD card without internet.
• For Remote Viewing & Alerts: An internet connection is required to view cameras remotely via the app, receive push notifications, or use cloud storage.

ZOSI takes security seriously. We employ encryption protocols for data transmission and secure login procedures for accessing your account and footage. We recommend users set strong, unique passwords and keep their firmware updated for the latest security enhancements.
