ZOSI PoE Camera Systems, NVRs & Security Kits

PoE NVR kits with multi-channel recorders and camera bundles.

NVR Security Kits

Eight-channel PoE kits on a 4K NVR with a 2TB drive. Choose four or eight 5MP bullets, or a mixed set of pan-tilt cameras and bullets—each kit uses one Ethernet cable per camera and leaves room to grow to 16 channels with an optional PoE switch.

All four kits share the same 8-channel recorder size, so the choice comes down to how you want each spot watched. Bullets hold one fixed view and reach furthest at night, which suits a long driveway or the back of a deep garden. Eight bullets cover the most ground right away but leave no free input, while the four-bullet kit keeps four channels for later. Pan-tilt cameras do more work per mount: one camera over a parking area can turn toward a gate when something moves. The mixed kit gives you both, with pan-tilt cameras for open areas and bullets for doors. If picture detail matters most, the C296 kit records at 8MP and zooms digitally up to 5X. Whatever you choose, check that each mounting point can take an Ethernet run back to the recorder, since that single cable is what powers the camera. A 2TB drive fills faster with eight cameras than with four, so if you want weeks of footage rather than days, set motion recording on the quieter views and keep 24/7 recording for the doors that matter most.

DVR surveillance kits for wired camera setups.

PoE Camera Kits

Complete ZOSI systems with the recorder, cameras, and hard drive in one box. Most are wired PoE kits (C220 fixed domes, C296 and C290 pan-tilt, C298 dual-lens, and 5MP starters); the 3K Lite kit is the coax DVR exception with sixteen 1080p cameras.

Start with the views you need, not the camera count in the box. Walk around the house and list each door, gate, driveway and side path, then add one or two for later. If that number is well under the recorder's channel count, a kit with open channels such as the C220 16CH 4K NVR, 10×4MP Domes, 4TB leaves room to grow; if every channel is filled on day one, plan on ZOSI's PoE switch expansion before adding more. Next, pick the camera style. Fixed domes are discreet under eaves and give one steady view. Pan-tilt cameras cost you a little clearance around the mount but can sweep a whole yard and follow a person across it. For detail at a distance, such as reading a plate at the end of a drive, look at 8MP kits. Finally, think about the drive: more cameras at higher resolution fill a 2TB disk faster, so busy properties suit the 4TB kits. Every PoE kit here records locally and gives remote viewing in the ZOSI Smart app with no subscription.

Complete surveillance systems from the ZOSI line.

Bullet Camera Systems

Directional C186 systems with audio PoE bullets, full-color night video, a 110dB siren, and a 4K NVR. The 16-channel kit ships eight 5MP bullets and a 4TB drive, with room to expand.

Start by counting the outdoor spots you want covered, then add a couple for later. Eight bullets on sixteen channels leaves eight inputs open, and with an optional PoE switch (not included) ZOSI says the recorder reaches 32 channels, so the 8-camera kit suits buyers who expect to grow. If you already need a camera on every side of a large property, the 12- or 16-camera options fill more of the recorder on day one. For a home or small shop that only needs four views, the C186 8CH 4K NVR, 4×5MP Bullets, 2TB is the smaller kit in the same family. Mount bullets high enough to be out of reach, angle them slightly down, and keep the warm light and siren pointed at your own property so they don't disturb neighbors. Whichever size you choose, plan an Ethernet run to each mounting point, since every camera takes power and video over one cable. Because the cameras see in color at night, you can skip the floodlights many bullet systems need, and the warm light is there for when you want it.

PoE and analog dome cameras for indoor/outdoor coverage.

Dome & Specialty Cameras

Add-on packs and standalone cams—not full NVR kits. Expand a ZOSI PoE recorder with 5MP domes or C290 pan-tilt packs, or cover a spot with WiFi, solar, window, or indoor 360° cameras. One pack is analog HD-TVI for an existing DVR.

First, check what you already own. The 5MP domes and the C290 pair work only with a ZOSI PoE NVR, and they need a free port on it or on a PoE switch. The HD-TVI domes need an HD-TVI or hybrid DVR and won't work on a PoE recorder. If you have no recorder at all, a standalone camera is the simpler start. The C298 WiFi cameras need power at the mount and a WiFi signal outside, and they can record to a memory card. The C291 needs neither power nor cable, but it records only when it detects motion and joins 2.4GHz WiFi only. Indoors, the C680 suits renters who want to watch the street through a window without drilling, while the C518 covers a room and adds a one-touch call button for family. Pan-tilt models cover more ground from one spot, while fixed domes hold one steady view and have no moving parts. For storage, the PoE add-ons record to your NVR's drive, the C298 and C518 take a memory card, and the C291 comes with a 32GB card. Keep that in mind if you want every camera's footage in one place: only the PoE cameras land on the same recorder.

Bullet cameras for longer-range outdoor views.

Bullet Cameras & Kits

A single C186 5MP PoE audio bullet for an existing ZOSI NVR, plus complete bullet-style kits with a recorder and drive when you need a full system pointed down a driveway or fence line.

A bullet camera is aimed like a flashlight: it holds one long view and makes a visible point that it is there. That suits a driveway, a fence line or the side of a building. If you already run a ZOSI PoE recorder with a free port, the single C186 bullet adds one more color-night view without changing anything else. If you are starting from nothing, choose by property size. The C186 kit covers four spots and leaves four channels open. The C105 kit covers twelve spots at 8MP and still has four inputs free on its 16-channel recorder, with 100ft infrared night vision for larger lots. The C186 cameras keep color at night and add a siren, a warm light and two-way talk, while the C105 cameras rely on 100ft infrared after dark and record audio through a built-in microphone. Choose the C186 line if you want the camera itself to warn people off, and the C105 if you want more views at higher resolution on one recorder. Mount any camera high and angle it down so faces, not hat brims, fill the frame, and keep each one within reach of an Ethernet run.
