Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First of all, I am not some crackpot that writes a bunch of negative reviews. Most of my reviews tend to be positive. If I love something, I will rave about it. If I like something, I will tell you what I like about it. But when something sucks, I will try to warn you away. That is what I'm trying to do now. I feel less secure having these cameras. The cameras themselves are okay. Not great, just okay. The app that you have to use is junk. I would use a more colorful word to describe it, but there might be children reading this. I bought these cameras to monitor my house. I have been having a problem with a trespasser. I need to get motion alerts and a short video. (The 5 camera stills probably would have been fine if the motion detection actually worked) (More on that later). I need something that stores briefly on the cloud and lets me move the video clips to permanent storage on my phone when necessary. I don't know if it's the fault of the camera or the app, but the motion detection is so bad that out of the 50 to 100 cars that pass by my house every day, it has caught 1 car in the last 2 days. It didn't even catch my wife's car or mine when we went to work, came home, or left to go shopping. This is particularly frustrating because I have one of the cameras set up to watch our cars in the driveway and another set to watch the road in front of my house. I have Despicable Me Stuart Cams by Tend that work far better than the Zmodo cameras. I will be returning these cameras. I just wish I could get back the time I wasted installing them.
