This is a beginners system, good for the price.,
I have over 30 security cameras for almost the last 20 years. I am slowly upgrading the cameras.
The major problem with these cameras is the need to adjust from day to night viewing. I have two cameras sitting out over 120 feet. The Zmodo is virtually unadjustable as to color and hue while the more expensive one needs no adjustment.
Another problem is the IR lighting. It shows a very bright spot light in the center where it should show a flood light to cover a wider visable area at night. To be honest, the cameras that show a viable night vision have the same problem of the spot light in the center. The solution would be to aim every other IR bulb a little outward instead of all pointing centrally in the same direction.
There is also a problem with the audio on some cameras.

|8 channel zmodo dvr system,
just finished installing 2 days ago and here are my thoughts thus far.
The dvr system is great, takes a moment to set it up, but its not hard and is pretty self explanatory.
Pro’s of the dvr
– easy to setup
– decent quality
– 8 channels so great for adding camera’s in the future
– has a wide array of options from alarm beeps to even being able to send you an email if something happens to the system such as a camera feed going out or the hard drive < optional does not come with the unit > being full or bad.
– hooked up to netwrok quickly with ease
– price
Cons of the dvr
– came with most of the case screws off < not a big deal if you plan on putting in a hard drive right away >
– the cables are setup for 4 camera’s, including the power cable, so plan on buying extra connections if you want more then 4 camera’s.
– the fact that I can’t shut off certain feeds < channel 5 – 8 still display on main screen > when no camera is present gets annoying, but not a big deal.
Okay now on to the 4 camera’s that are included
they went up pretty easy, and were a breeze to install, the cables are a tad thin. but if it is that big of a deal for you, you can always upgrade. the camera’s themselves are okay, nothing special. here is my pro con list for them
Pros for camera’s
– small
– easy to install
– weatherproof < so far >
– decent day vision < maybe 7 out of 10, don’t expect hd quality out of them, but I can make out faces at 100 feet away.
– cables are 60 feet each, had more then enough for my house. a camera on every corner.
Cons for camera’s
– Night vision is maybe 3 out of 10, works okay if other light is present, if you have an outside light or street light near it maybe, otherwise forget it.
– they are starter camera’s, plan on upgrading them
– no audio
– no focus
– no zoom
– mounts are kind of cheap
Overall thoughts
If you just want to watch you home and aren’t looking for hd quality, I would highly suggest this system. the DVR alone is worth the money spent, so basically the camera’s are freebies.
it took me about 3 hours to install everything and run the cables. and I was taking my time and being lazy, so install was a breeze. I set it up for the mobile use, and can easily watch my camera’s over my phone. the directions suggest to use KMEye < droid app > for viewing them, but I actually prefer ip cam viewer, so I used that instead. If you do plan on using KMEye, plan on doing so serious port forwarding setup on your pc router, I didn’t have to forward a port with ip cam viewer < no clue why, technically, your supposed to forward the port while using any of them.
4 out of 5 stars, due to price and quality of the dvr. again, for non professional use, these are great!
