About this product
Four 8MP pan-tilt cameras make this the higher-resolution of the two C296 kits here, and half of the NVR's eight ports stay open for later. ZOSI rates the 4K image at four times the clarity of 1080p and 1.6 times sharper than 5MP, pitching it for picking out faces and license plates.
| This kit | C296 6×5MP kit | |
|---|---|---|
| Cameras | 4 × 8MP pan-tilt | 6 × 5MP pan-tilt |
| NVR ports used | 4 of 8 | 6 of 8 |
| Hard drive | 2TB | 2TB |
Each camera rotates 355° horizontally and 140° vertically, follows moving subjects with auto-tracking and offers 5X digital zoom. A starlight sensor delivers color night vision in near-total darkness, and the metal housing carries an IP66 weather rating.
The AI can tell faces, people, vehicles, pets and packages apart and listens for abnormal sounds, all within motion zones you draw. When something trips a zone, the camera responds with sound and light alarms and an instant alert by email or app. Two-way audio through the ZOSI Smart app lets you speak to visitors.
Choose this kit when detail at four key spots matters more than camera count; the C296 8CH 4K PoE, 6×5MP Pan-Tilt, 2TB covers two more areas at 5MP. Either recorder expands to 16 channels with an optional PoE switch (not included).
