ADs finally gone
ADs are finally gone but it says “recording index does not match the recorded frames” when I go to look at most of my camera’s history. Maybe 1/4 is synced up correctly. The HD button is now gone and I can’t “zoom in” on either the live feed camera or any of the saved recordings. Needs more work but thank god the ADs are gone.

New review Oct 5th 2026
So, if I had the money id probably go ahead and get all new cameras (NOT ZMODO). I’m glad they took the ads off but I noticed something very bogus , I got tired of paying so much for EACH camera subscription since you have to subscribe EACH camera to a plan 🤦🏽♂️ I have 8 Zmodo cameras, and the recording quality was always dirt. Anytime I try to find a specific event whilst being subscribed it would always freeze while playback and could NEVER actually see what I needed to record which is VERY IMPORTANT, anyways, after unsubscribing all cameras I notice that after all this time now it doesn’t even record any motions without a subscription 🤦🏽♂️ so without a subscription on each camera all they basically are are live cameras with motion notifications. So now I don’t get no recorded motions or even any playback . That’s crazy, when I first bought these like 12 years ago it atleast recorded motions for a while and had playback for atleast a day, but nothing now. I have other cameras that I bought off Amazon that are cheaper than these and waaaay better image quality and more functionality, like audio and motion, free playback for like 24 hours then it reset. But these just ain’t it anymore, and they haven’t upgraded these Zmodo cameras in centuries. Idk, may get all new DIFFERENT brand cameras tax time, would be sooooo much better security experience 💯 these are old news. Yes, 12+ years, I know alllllll about these Zmodo cameras, I have a motion one in my living room that’s still alive but audio doesn’t work anymore, probably tapped! I caught it moving one day on its own so someone was watching me , facts, btw, you say FRESH UI but it’s been the same for atleast 10 years , every update is always the exact same , no change

Ads removed, but new issues
The ads have been removed now, which is a huge improvement.
I am, however, having an issue since the change to the interface appears to have resulted in one of my cameras being disconnected from the app. Before this happened rarely, but I'd just remove the camera and re-add it. Now it says that deleting the camera is permanent and it cannot be re-added in the future, so I'm not actually sure how to get it working again.
Edit: on further inspection, the new app seems to have removed the ability to add cameras via their local wireless network (I think this was called "Zink"), and now they can only be added if they support scanning a QR code. Mine don't, so I guess I'm out of luck with re-adding the one that disconnected after the update. Hope the others don't get disconnected!
Attempting to contact support using the "contact support" button just leads to a page that says to log out and back in to contact support, which doesn't work. *sigh*

Scam Company - Never Buy from Zmodo
This is the most dishonest company I’ve ever dealt with. I purchased their cameras which has its own hard drive to record the videos. Their app has worked previously, obviously to be able to view those videos however, recently they added ads, which make it impossible to actually get to your cameras, and now they updated their rap, which instantly killed the ability to view your recorded videos on their own NVR. They are essentially trying to force you to purchase their cloud subscription which sucks anyway. My NVR records for nearly 30 days and I paid for it when I purchased this product yet now they are pulling Support for the NVR and along with the ads. This company is an absolute disgrace. Never buy anything from them. They’re a scam.
