Zmodo

Home camera viewing and recordings

Zmodo is a companion app for people with Zmodo connected cameras and other home products. It brings camera viewing and recorded footage together on a phone, so you can check a live feed or look back at saved video without being at home.

Live view and motion events

The app supports live camera viewing and groups of cameras, including split-screen live views. Motion notifications can include a thumbnail of the captured activity, while an events page helps organize footage for later playback. If you want to keep a clip, video downloads of up to 30 minutes are available with a cloud subscription.

Cloud recording is optional

Cloud recording plans are offered separately from the basic camera-viewing features. The listed plans are Premium Cloud and Platinum Cloud, with prices applying per device; the total depends on how many devices are covered. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before renewal. Check the plan details before signing up if you only need occasional live viewing or playback.

Worth knowing before you choose it

Zmodo has more than 1,000,000 installs, but its rating is 1.54 out of 5 across 21,946 ratings. That is a notably low score and suggests many users have had a poor experience. The app may suit an existing Zmodo camera owner who needs the manufacturer’s viewing and recording tools, but the rating is a good reason to keep expectations measured. It is developed by Zmodo Support.
