Adding the Device:

  1. Select a Name for your Zosi DVR. For example: “My Home”, “My Business”, whatever you want to name your security system. Once done typing via keyboard, tap Enter to save the changes.
  2. Make sure you’ve selected the Device ID option, and NOT the IP/Domain option.
  3. Enter the DeviceID found on your DVR. You can find the DeviceID on either the Setup Wizard, or in the Information > System screen. The DeviceID is case sensitive. You may either:
    – Manually type in the characters by tapping the field and using your keyboard. OR
    – Select the small blue icon at the end of the Device ID row to turn on your phone’s camera so that you’re able to scan the unique QR code found on that same screen. If you decide to scan the QR code, ensure the DeviceID in the app matches up with the DeviceID shown on the screen.
  4. Ensure you’ve entered the right username and password for the DVR. This is NOT your Zosi View account ID. This the username and the password that you use to directly access your DVR. If these credentials do not match up with the credentials on your DVR you will get an “Invalid Password” error. The default username is admin and there is no default password – the field is left blank. (If you’ve changed the password, then use your password).
  5. Select the number of channels your DVR has by selecting the proper number from the available buttons.
  6. Select “Add Device”.

Step 6. Once you’ve added the device, you’ll be taken back to the Device Manager screen, and should see an “Add Success” message at the bottom of your screen, as well as your DVR listed in your Device Manager.
