Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

ZMODO solicits reviews with free products! Dont trust the reviews you read on any of their products. Recently I have been offered a free camera "ZH-IXY1D". I thought, wow that is nice. NOPE, after I sent my address info then they asked me for a screen shot of my review before they would ship it. Only when I copy and pasted Amazon's rules on soliciting reviews did they agree to send me the camera without the screenshot. Now I know why, the camera is CRAP. It loses connection all the time and the software is horrible. Also I hate the fact that the only way to record is to use their expensive cloud service. There should always be a local record option at least. The quality of the camera is average (hence the 2 stars vs 1). I am a computer tech and have been using home surveillance wireless ip cameras for 10 years now. I have tried a variety of products and feel I have a bit to share on the subject.
