Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Well, for starters... I am not a surveillance camera expert, probably not even a camera novice... but, here goes. I bought these 4 cameras for various purposes, the biggest factor to me was the motion capture as I live on a main road and wanted to make sure things like my Amazon deliveries are safe while I am at work, etc... well, I am writing a review as I have spent some serious amount of time playing with these cameras trying to get them to reliably identify motion and send notifications to my phone. Originally, I tried signing up for Zmodo cloud storage, so that I could have more than 36 hours of photage to review when playing with settings... I then quickly realized that when using their cloud storage solution, zmodo isn't even backing up HD video, they were backing up snapshots of pictures every 12 seconds (as it appeared on my end, and let me tell you I have 1GB/s download speeds and 60 MB/s upload speeds, so it isnt my network)... now, I hadn't identified that the free cloud service wasn't actually storing a clean stream, until I needed to review the cloud storage to identify something that I thought I was missing, when I noticed that mail was delivered and I never saw the person walk up to my front door... this happened a couple of times before I went ahead and spent more money with zmodo trying to fix their problems, because I already had their devices and didn't want to start from scratch again... So, I now have the 1TB NVR recording system... I have a clean stream of video recorded to my HDD, but Zmodo still doesn't accurately report motion that happens... I'd say 90% of the time the cameras notify me of movement it is just picking up reflection from cars headlights... but, if someone walks past the camera, I give it less than a 50% chance of actually notifying me of the motion (just speaking from my personal experience with these cameras on my home). Now, to make matters worse... and the piece that got me frustrated enough with Zmodo specifically to write a review giving them 1 star... I have tried emailing their support line, and have been waiting roughly a month for them to even respond. Zero response. I was asking them for help, and you cant even give me the time of day to respond to my email? To anyone looking at Zmodo, look elsewhere.
