ZOSI PoE Camera Kits
About this product
Six cameras that turn and follow movement make this C296 kit a good match for a property with several open areas, such as a long driveway and a wide back garden. Each camera pans 355° and tilts 140°, and auto-tracking keeps a moving person or vehicle in frame as it crosses the scene. A 5X digital zoom lets you pull in a closer look when you need one.
The 8-port NVR runs all six cameras with two ports to spare, and ZOSI says it can grow to 16 channels once you add a PoE switch (not included). Every camera connects with one Ethernet cable carrying power and data, so no separate adapters are needed at the mounts.
After dark, a starlight sensor keeps the picture in full color in near-total darkness, and the metal housings carry an IP66 rating against rain, snow and dust. When the AI spots a face, person, vehicle, pet, package or an abnormal sound inside the zones you set, the camera sounds an alarm, flashes its light and sends an alert by email and app. The speaker and microphone let you talk to whoever is there through the ZOSI Smart app.
Prefer fewer cameras at a higher resolution? The C296 8CH 4K PoE, 4×8MP Pan-Tilt, 2TB puts four 8MP pan-tilt cameras on the same 8-channel, 2TB base.
