Consumer review (newegg.com)

a few oddities fixed

 

After adding a WD 2TB AV HDD I ran into some beeping/rebooting problems. Did some YouTube research and found that if the HDD wasn't freshly formatted with NO cameras plugged in, it would do this. Still had the problem after the format. I even ran...

Great price, small and lightweight

After adding a WD 2TB AV HDD I ran into some beeping/rebooting problems. But fixed them (see other) ; Could use at least one external sensor input. But for the price? Hey ; Also mouse was intermittently functional

Zmodo KDS8

 

The Zmodo KDS8 definitely better than my KGUARD which totally broke after 5 months and the cameras slowly broke before all 4 having to be replaced. I like these Zmodo KDS8 cameras so much that hopefully I can get 4 of the same models as the one that...

The Zmodo KDS8 is a great Surveillance DVR Kit, it works 100% and the cameras are good as well with a night vision of around 60' The user interface is good also and is easy to navigate when doing a record search. The unit seem to be compatible with...

N/A, just a simple cheap DVR Kit, I really don't think you will be dissatisfied with this unit

Good Hardware, Questionable Software

 

I dont know what kind of code they are using for their monitoring software, but ....well i will probably never know because im not going to be installing it Im probably jsut going to sync a backup drive with the video via ftp every night.

It is a relatively cheap unit, that has a great interface, easy setup, and quite a few options including ftp

HOWEVER, this software cd that was included with my kit has hit positive for two viruses, on two seperate computers, using two different brands of scanner (scanning the cd directly) ; MP4Player_en.exe > positive for Win32/Tanatos.M ; and ;...

solid product

 

For the price this is an excellent system and I would recommend to anyone trying to protect their home.

The CCD cameras give a good quality picture and the night vision works well. The 60 foot cabling was plenty and the installation of the cameras was very simple. The hard drive has plenty of storage space for me to be able to go back and review footage....

The remote viewing was a bit difficult to setup being that I am a technical novice

Follow Up

 

WARNING! Be sure to tell customer service you purchased your unit at Newegg. Newegg retail units are DIFFERENT from the normal retail units so all written materials and online support documents DO NOT match the item. Go figure. Good Luck!

PIP feature is nice. Easy set up. Remote access image and speed OK

Customer service could use some staffing upgrades to enable timely response times. Took me a couple of months from time of purchase until I finally got a return call when it was convenient for me to be sitting at a phone all day with a DVR setup for...

I looked - I bought

 

I had read that the "screws were missing"... Mine came with new screws for the case & the HDD. The SATA cables were also included - didn't have to search for them. I bought a refurb 1TB with it - so with my discount coupon I have a complete system for...

Well packaged - easy to put together - fired right up - formatted HD (1TB) in about a minute - all (4) cameras working ; Price was the best I found online

None so far

Zmodo Recorder

 

I had problems at the beginning setting up the connection to home network. The unit is very similar to a eSecure system I had but damaged by lightning. I used their chat helpdesk, but after the lady respond me with a hello and for some reason, the chat...

8 channels; 4 cameras included; flexible motion activated recording

A more comprehensive user guide included in the package will help, especially on network hookup. However, you can find a pretty helpful tutorial in their website in setting up the network

Lifelong customer and advocate for the Zmodo product!!!

 

I recently (July 2013) purchased a Zmodo KDS8-NARQZ4ZN eight camera system from Newegg to replace a competitor's 4 channel system that cost more than twice as much as the Zmodo. Although I used the previous 4 cameras while adding the additional 4 that...

None at all

Excellent home system with great support. Allowing you to have to purchase a hard drive for the DVR gives you the option to purchase the size and type that you want. The software for computer video recording is a very nice touch

I bought this kit for my parents house because there have been some vandalizing going on. I thought it would be hard to install but after running the wires around the house and mounting all the cameras I think we did a great job. I had to buy x2 100ft...
