Zowietek ZowieBox 4K HDMI Video Encoder/Decoder, ZowieBox, HDMI only

I am extremely happy with this purchase. The product arrived quickly, was well packaged, and was exactly as described. The quality exceeded my expectations, and it has performed perfectly since I received it. It was easy to use, well made, and offers excellent value for the price. I appreciate the attention to detail and the overall reliability of this product. It has made my experience much more convenient, and I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again in the future. Highly recommended to anyone considering this product. Five stars!

Deducting a star because the API document is hard to find, and it's a little clunky, but other than that, great box! Finally, a RTSP to HDMI box that lets me remotely command it to play an RTSP stream that you can change to anything. Also has many more features than I will use, for less cost than other boxes that only do one thing and are difficult to remotely control.

stop working after 3 moths

PERFECTO !

This does NOT work with UniFi Protect. I assumed that since UniFi now supports ONVIF, this device would let me stream the single HDMI 16 camera feeds from my existing NVR so they could be recorded directly in Protect. The hardware feels solid and the interface is easy to navigate. I was unable to get it to export the streams to my local network in a way that met my needs, so it ultimately did not serve the purpose I purchased it for.

It says it has uvc in, but it doesn’t

no 4k video. i plug graphics card which supports 4k into hdmi input. i plug 4k monitor into hdmi output. i power on encoder. the only option is 1080p. there is no option to select 4k. i connect to encoder with browser. login. no option for 4k. it reports 1080p. i connect graphics card to monitor. it displays 4k. product does not work for 4k. i click through amazon to vendor support page. it displays page not found. no product support help.

sin problemas

It does encode but if you don't have a steady connection it will just drop out. There are much better homebrew solutions available

I've been using this device to stream RTSP feeds 24/7 from Blue Iris to my HDMI extenders, which display my surveillance video on various HDMI monitors around the house. So far, it's been working "OK", with Blue Iris, there seems to be a RTSP incompatibility where the stream will get corrupted from time to time, also, the stream may stop and needs to be restarted. There is no watchdog capability with the unit. It works like 95% of the time then will randomly distort the image and require a restart. Setup was simple: I enabled decoder mode, entered the RTSP URL, set the RTSP feed as the primary stream, and connected the HDMI output to my extender. Within minutes, I had live video showing on my TVs. Performance has been stable so far, but I’ll update this review if I encounter any issues over time—especially regarding recovery from stream hiccups, which remains to be seen. Build quality is impressive. The unit feels solid and well-designed. You can tell some care went into the hardware. The Web UI is surprisingly polished—much better than I expected at this price point. It's clean, responsive, and easy to navigate. A few cons: It only supports a limited number of protocols (mostly RTSP). That’s fine for my needs, but something to be aware of. After a reboot, the stream takes about 30 seconds to buffer and appear. Not a dealbreaker, but worth mentioning. Overall, this device is doing exactly what I need it to do. If you're looking for a dedicated RTSP-to-HDMI solution, this one seems to fit the bill.

het apparaat werkt perfect en ik heb er meerdere. Alleen de prijs gaat steeds meer omhoog ;-)

J'ai acheté 4 appareils comme celui-ci pour réaliser les enregistrements vidéo ça fonctionne parfaitement c'est facile à installer c'est plus compliqué à paramétrer il faut passer par l'ordinateur pour les faire reconnaître le vendeur est remarquable il répond avec rapidité à toutes les questions qu'on peut lui poser. Au titre des regrets j'ai trois points d'améliorations possibles:1) permettre à l'écran d'avoir une indication de l'enregistrement on a cette indication mais uniquement sur le minuscule écran des enregistreurs le deuxième point concerne la durée des séquences réalisées toutes les 46 minutes l'enregistreur fait une micro coupure et reprend l'enregistrement sans qu'on ait toutefois à le relancer mais j'aurais préféré un enregistrement en continu sans les micros coupures enfin le troisième point concerne la chaleur dissipée par les enregistreurs qui me paraît importante même si chacun d'entre eux est muni d'un ventilateur qui est réglable sur trois positions. Pour ma part je les ai évidemment mis sur la position la plus forte.

Acquistato per registrare video superiori alle 2 ore, crea i file ma sono illeggibili quelli dopo l’ora e mezza
