Product ReviewsZmodo ZMW0002Q4 Bullet Security Cameras - 4 Pack

Excellent Day Camera's, Not worth Having Night Camera's

For the Money, it is a great value, but if you need IR, Night Vision Camera's they are worth nothing. The system works fantastic, it was very easy to set up, Hung the camera's, ran the wires, plugged them in, set up the DVR, Scan the code on the bottom of the DVR to my phone, and I am watching my neighborhood with my phone and at work. I will by some better IR Camera's as it is an 8 camera system, but only comes with 4 camera's. Zmodo app is bether than Zsight app. Camera's pull right up. It's a little quirky but it works fine. Just ignore the update problem.Read full review...

Good for live video only in my opinion

Pros:

Live video
Easy setup

Cons:
1). Motion detection is a joke. All false alerts. Detects by picture to picture differences. Wind blows, a branch moves, motion alert. Change in cloud cover, motion alert. When it comes dusk and the unit switched to night mode, motion alert.
2). Night mode needs its IR leds on continuously. Sounds reasonable but it attracts insects, motion alert. Then the spiders catch on and build webs in front of the camera, motion alert.
3). Video access with Cloud service very slow. If you subscribe to the cloud service, it takes me between 5 to 10 minutes to see a video. Read full review...

Like the product but one camera stopped working.

I've had my cameras up and running for a little over a month now. Super happy with the easy set up and installation, plus the app for your phone is easy to use. 3 of my 4 cameras are working great with no issue but my 4th camera had been "glitchy" for a few days in a row then completely stopped working. I've contacted the Zmodo tech support over and over for help and they continue to tell me the same thing... "it's my router." I've followed all of their suggestions and nothings working. All of my other cameras are working flawlessly and this camera was too until just a few days ago with no changes to the router or wifi.. so I know it's not my router. I seem to be getting no where with their tech support. The camera it's self is shot, my friends bought a similar package and had the same problem. The company replaced their camera free of charge, not sure why I am not being offered to have my product replaced even though I keep running into the same problem with no solution. I love the cameras that I have and was considering buying 2 more to add to our property but I will be holding off until I see how the other 3 cameras hold up, one month of use before becoming inoperable isn't worth the price. This company needs a better customer service team of they want to keep my business.Read full review...

Zomodo

In a few steps it was up and running, in 1 hour or less i was videoing. My only complaint is trying to power each individual camera, it has a very short power cord so i had to run extention cords all around house, once someone realizes how these work they will probably just run up and unplug the camera. I eventually will run the cord into attic and install plugs for them up there. Comes with a 500gb hdd installed. Also the 4 domes are for indoor use, i installed one under porch at front door but dont expect it to survive outside. Overall im pleased, easy quick setup for immediate results. Picture seems decent daylight and night.Read full review...

Just a minor thing

For the price, the cameras are great. I previously had wired cameras and used Blue Iris software. If I could still use the software I would be happier. The only thing I see about the cameras is their range of detecting a person or other motion. They do have a great viewing area if looking at the live feed.Read full review...

Nice reliable cams

Unlike Sricam which I have two, these cameras are great in every respect. Wifi viewing and remote viewing is very reliable with good image quality. Phone app and PC software works great and setup is relatively easy to boot. Too bad Zmodo doesn't have outdoor pan/tilt cam.Read full review...

Love these cameras

I've been an electronics shop owner for a long time and seen virtually every type of surveillance camera ever made, and these cameras are amazing!! They have a great response time, easy setup, the software is easy to use directly from your phone, tablet, or computer. My camera network (total of 12 cams) send me an alert the instant the motion sensor is activated!! 720P RECORDING resolution and the night vision is not bad considering.Read full review...

Easy setup, clear picture security system at a reasonable price

When we received the individual boxes, we weren't sure what to do but it was actually an easy set up. The issue I had was that you must be close to an outlet in order to use camera or end up running long extension cords to get to outlet. Your wireless connection is important to be able to connect to camera. Read full review...

Some Tricks to set up but great once you get it going

the cameras connect to your existing wifi router not to the supplied nvr. I tried setting the cameras up without an actual internet connection at first through at the app and it would not work, BUT it would add one camera at a time and then give me an error on the app, I assume if you have an actual internet connection it'll work better setting it up. Once the cameras are added in the meshare app they're also added on the NVR, it's quite nifty how it all works together, they've taken a lot of steps out of it, it's actually a lot less confusing then you'd think it would be. Anyone that complains about the cameras dropping out etc has a low quality router. I had to try 3 different routers to get all 8 cameras streaming solidly to the NVR. I settled on a Netgear R6400 router and it's excellent. I had a tp-link before that and the 2.4ghz band on it was trash. So you may need to upgrade your router if you use these or at least relocate your existing one to a more central location. Overall I'm pretty happy being able to watch the cameras remotely and get motion alerts to my phone is nifty I mean the price alone is great enough if it just recorded to the NVR but the app ability is a nice bonus. I find the motion alerts work pretty well. Also the NVR has not crashed on me one timeRead full review...

Easy as pie

Simple set up. This product pratically installs itself. Good features like alerts and sharing. One of the most reasonably priced outdoor units on the market.

Great cams but iCloud$$$$👎🏼

These cams are great, but the only problem is that you have to pay iCloud subscription I had to return these zmodo cams, because I can’t afford paying $125 a year for the 4 cams for iCloud subscription....which when at first got them i wasn’t aware that I had to pay $$$..I just got the nigh owl cams ..they are expensive but hey no worries about bills, and they are WiFi and 1080 hd..Read full review...
