ZOSI 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 visionis 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 cheapcoax/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 cableand 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 thecamera. 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 yourcamera 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 betweenthe 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...

Camera was almost identical to the original Swann camera! Only problem I had was the original hole thru my wall for the cable was too small for new cable. It has a larger control switch on it. Spent about an hour enlarging hole but when done, it worked fine. Good picture day and night. Would buy again if any of my remaining nine year old Swanns go out.

Works great
