    So I bought this system based upon price, and a few other reviews. We’ve been having some vandalism in our area recently, and if something was going to happen to me, I was going to be ready and catch this hoodlum! I installed all 8 cameras and the DVR in just one Saturday. (wires ran down the wall and everything). The color quality isn’t perfect, for example, the green’s look a little purple; but still do-able. The DVR interface is easy to use, the manual on the other hand wasn’t written very well, topics jump all over the book. I had to use YouTube to find out how to do a lot of stuff because the manual just didn’t make a lot of sense. Anyway- DVR easy to use, everything, easy to install, video quality- pretty good, Night vision quality- pretty good. NOTE though: for areas like a small deck or patio, small front porch the cameras illuminate these area’s very well, you can see fine; however, if you want to see in the dark with these cameras covering your yard, you will need a IR illuminator to light up the area so the cameras can see in the dark.
    Overall- I highly recommend the product for a small business, or home owner who wants to watch their property. You can’t beat the features, quality for the price.

    This product was promptly delivered. However, there was a problem. The instructions to unlock the box were not included. I returned the first one thinking it was a faulty box. When the second one did not function either, I called Zmodo and was given instructions on how to unlock. It was easy to set up, the video quality is good, and I’m really impressed with the software that allows me to watch and review over the internet or even my Iphone. Overall, I would recommend this product but make sure you have the instructions to unlock the DVR.

    the system is pretty awesome. camera placement was real easy. the mounts are super lightweight and the cameras are easy to install. with a jacket that has a lot of pockets and a drill attachment that slides over the mounting screw heads to hold them in place, being high up on a ladder’s a cinch. the cables are really easy to plug together and if you’re using a regular monitor, the dvr is super user friendly…..Now for the cons: you might as well throw out the instructions for internet viewing…they are basically in another language with the horrible English. I have two words for the ZModo people…SPELL CHECK…Anyway, I went on youtube and found some standard DVR Remote Viewing instructional videos and with a little playing around it was successful.
