hi, any ideas if there's an online manual for this? I'm curious if it will support zmodo cameras. Also, do the alerts and motion capture work as int

I also inquired of an online manual and the answer is 'no, there is not.' It has a disk that walks you through the set up. It should be fine for your cameras, it versatile with many, but it's always best to hard wire them with cat 5 instead of wireless. I also tried to do wireless from the NVR to my router (you will need a wireless chipset to plug into the NVR - optional), but didn't have much luck that's why I hardwired to a Cisco LAN switch. It does capture when you use an external hard drive = 1TB

I think what may help is motion detection. I already asked the tech support guy and he said they are working towards this functionality. I would think it be done soon over the next release or two. So far my camera works great so over all its a good by. good luck ;)

Currently, motion detection isnt functional on our NVRs. We are currently testing a firmware update for the NVR that will hopefully enable motion detection. So, I would check back in a few weeks to see if that is available. If you have any more questions, feel free to let me know. Best, Cameron Zmodo Technical Support unfortunately

Since I bought my system, the default cameras from Zmodo have changed. I have the older ones that probably have around 20 feet. I bought this system more for the DVR, and have a mix match of cameras depending on the application. Some are the default Zmodo cameras and some are wide angle. My Zmodo cameras look nothing like the current ones being offered. The Zmodo cameras are good to use as a starter kit. If you demand higher quality, you will need to find 600 TVL cameras. I use 600 TVL for my wide angle cameras and notice a huge difference between 420 TVL default ones and 600 TVL.

I agree with j-rob. Does anyone know how the newer model (HDR-XR500V) performs in low-light situations? They claim the Exmor-R sensor helps with these situations. It's too bad there's no easy or cost-effective way to upgrade. I'm not in the position to spend another $1k+ for a new camcorder that handles low-light.

It's a bit more technical to setup, but has a lot of great options, which is ContaCam. You can setup zone based motion detection, various recording options and one of the coolest features is it allows you setup a web server where you can access your entire camera network from the web including seeing recorded motion detection clips, or real-time view of the cameras. The developer who created it allows anyone to download for free and he as some great tutorials on how to set up your cameras if you aren't sure how.

Dean, the only sofeware I have found is the software that came with the cameras, but I hate it! Did you not get the disc when you bought the cameras? If not, I would be happy to send you one, I have 12. I find the cameras to work well, but the software terrible and have not found anything else compatible. I understand the cameras are now obsolete. THe company went out of business. Should you find something let me know,please. tnt6125@aol.com. thanks Tom

I haven't messed with the software that comes with it, but I recommend checking out iSpy. Free, and works very well with these camera handling motion detection and recording.

yes do yourself a favor and buy a few extra camera wires. i needed some longer runs and the wires that comes with the system are flimsy. its an overall great system though, and if you ever have any problems Zmodo has great customer service. one of my cameras stopped working and they sent a replacement out to me, no questions asked. hope this helps

Hi, I have it on the network and it streams to my Debian server running Zoneminder. It works OK for the money. If you have a decent recent version of linux (Ubuntu for instance) with java support in the browser, you can configure it on the browser just fine. I didn't try it with motion, but I see no reason not to work, since it works in Zoneminder. This is the url I user in zoneminder: http://&lt;username&gt;:&lt;password&gt;@&lt;ip&gt;/cgi/mjpg/mjpg.cgi Replace the stuff in &lt;&gt; with the proper info. I hope this helps. Even though this works fine, I would recommend you a better quality camera in the same price range, like the new D-Link. If you do a research, you can buy one with about $35 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/D-Link-Wireless-N-Network-Surveillance-Camera-W-iPhone-Remote-Viewing-DSC-930L-/360817167462?pt=US_Security_Cameras&hash=item5402610c66)

Hello: Yes you can set the cam to motion detection mode but keep in mind you'll have to have a constant power supply while your car is turned off. Of course I don't know what direction you'd be looking at. Out the windsheild is normal. I would really recommend this unit. The picture quality is fantastic. A 32GB card will give you about 8 hours of recording time. Don't use a class 10. The crappy manual that comes with it even suggests against it. My class 4 works just fine. I didn't think the GPS version was worth it but I've changed my mind since.

I am not sure about Live Cams Pro yet Zmodo has several phone apps for Android and Iphone. Just make sure you have a stable high speed upload connection for the camera. I have 7 of these cameras and another 9 of the POE 720 HD cameras. If you have any questions about the performance and the Zmodo live view apps I can give you some pointers.

For a simple web cam it works fine but I haven't been able to get any of the other functions like night vision or the zoom to work. No software comes with it and the company that made them doesn't have them listed on their website either so I have no idea where or how to get the proper drivers for it.

I don't know, James, because we sent the camera back! Something that only records for 10 seconds when it activates was not what we needed. We got a netcam instead! Goggling the camera model doesn't turn up anything?

so far I have only used the zmodo phone app, which works well. there are 2 apps, one for when you are on your home network. one for when you are not. my understanding is there is a way to "port forward" so you can view your cameras on any computer but my attempts to do that so far have failed. They weren't much of an attempt though. Ill probably try again later. There are some youtube videos of how to do it.

you send me the product wrong. I paid sony cameras and you send zmodo cameras. besides I don't see the hard drive in the box. did you mounted inside the hard drive? Because the hard drive is not in the box. Do I have to open the zmodo dvr and check it? please answer as soon as possible./

I have zmodo camera system that works independent from my home alarm, I have it set to my phone and I also have 2 inside cameras set to my phone through Dlink or mydlinkhome. They are not tied to each other.
