I'm looking some info about China's manufacturer ZetPro.
Perhaps, someone can share their experience with ZetPro in comparison with Hikvision?
(I am sorry for my English).

Feb 04, 2018Dmytro, I have never heard of them, and find no references to them or their other name (ZenElectronics) in any surveillance specific resources I searched.
Also, their website is pretty limited, even their news section only has 3 entries across 3+ years. None of these are particularly good signs.
How did you hear about them? Anything else you can share about them?

Feb 05, 2018John, I'm installer from Ukraine (Eastern Europe). Two distributors sell them using two different brandnames. And positioned it as an advanced alternative to the Hikvision. One of the interesting camera's features: if the network connection is broken, the camera writes video to the SD card, and after the connection is restored, it sends the data to the NVR(and some more smart features).
In my country there is a low average income (USD200-300). Therefore, I am forced to offer only cheap brands. I prefer to install complete solutions based on a limited number of brands. At this moment is Hikvision, Ubiquiti and MikroTik (surveillance, network+distributed WiFi). I am in constant search of inexpensive, but functional solutions for replacing existing ones. About the ZETPro trademark there is very little information, but I was hoping that someone know the source (original producer) of these cameras.
Thanks!

Feb 05, 2018Dmytro, thanks, that's good feedback! Have you tested them or do you have one? I ask because if we could see the UI or MAC OUI address, we might be able to figure it out via that.
Some more searching. I checked the whois record for their website and it is private, which is a weird sign. Most real companies have public whois records; private tends to indicate a company is trying to hide something.
Also, I checked the images on their about page and they are stolen off of other websites. While they purport to be from the company, they clearly are not. For example this one:
That's an AP photo that has been used in many websites, such as the Huffington Post (example).
These two things could just mean they are bad / sloppy at marketing but not good signs.
If you have more info on the UI or MAC OUI, we might be able to immediately help further.

Feb 05, 2018Zetpro looks like a Uniview OEM.
Here's a Uniview bullet:
And here's a Zetpro:
They also use a software called EZStation, which is the exact same name and logo as Uniview's own.

Feb 06, 2018Looking at the NVRs, they are identical to Uniview as well

Feb 06, 2018No doubt, this is UNV! Thanks to everyone for solving this issue.
