Bad All Around
The cameras are slightly blurry and there is no way to focus them. The night vision claims to work out to 30 feet. However, this is not true outside. I tested the night vision inside, and it seemed to work pretty well. However, after mounting the cameras high on the sides of the house, the cameras see nothing but black at night. The images are 100% black and no shapes are visible. Note: We live in the country, and there are no "city" lights to help with night vision. The plastic thumb screws break off easily, and then you have to use needle nose pliers to tighten the screws in place to mount the camera arm. The DVR only allows one camera to be in D1 recording mode. It only allows one camera in HD2 mode, too. Bottom line... This system is generally bad all around and I will likely be returning it soon. UPDATE 08/12/2012: After returning this system, I purchased a Swann security system. The Swann is a much better system and I highly recommend it over the Zmodo. The Swann system is better in every detail from cameras, to the DVR.
