Zmodo Torch 360 Smart Home Garden Door Light Wireless Camera, Outdoor Wide Angle, Motion Alert, Silver, without Infrared Night Vision

I have lots of Zmodo products and the all work well. This Torch 360 has been a headache. The first one I got was an open box with no instructions. The second one connected to my network, but it never shows on my app. All my other zmodo devices show up just fine. 2024 update. Camera does work but the light Keep shutting off or unknown reasons. The schedule is set but the light is constantly off when it should be on. Switch is not being touched at all. The night vision is getting worse by the day. Lens is clean.

This device is a great idea and works very well right out of the box. Installation - Just screw it in like a light bulb, nothing could be easier. There are no additional wires or batteries needed. The security camera has a very clear image, and the Zmodo App allows you to change the color and brightness of the LED light. The camera can be rotated remotely about 350° using the Zmodo App. The only downside I can think of is that the LED light is manual only, it is not triggered by motion. So if you remove your motion-detector porch light and replace it with the Zmodo Torch as I did, you have to manually control the porch light.

This camera works for what I need, but there is definitely room for improvement. This camera DOES NOT have infrared assisted night vision. It does have a night viewing mode which is not that great. You would think, since it is an actual light source, that viewing in the dark wouldn’t be a problem. Setting up the camera took some time too, but if you are familiar with any Zmodo camera setup, it should be fairly simple. The 360 rotation is great! You will be able to rotate both directions and see 360 view, but each direction has a stopping point. I added pictures demonstrating the wide angle view. When you open the camera view just tap twice on your phone and it will switch from wide angle to regular view. The color options on this camera are AWESOME! Can’t wait for the holidays to switch between all the color options! I place these cameras outside and since they are a bit bulky, I did have to remove the glass covering from the light fixture in order to get 1 of them to fit. I loved this camera so much that I purchased 3 of them in total. I would recommend them to others, but keep in mind they do not view in the complete darkness that well.

I continue to purchase zmodo cameras for the sheer convenience of already having some and knowing how to use them. This is outdoor light camera is priced well considering everything it can do. Like zmodo's other outdoor cameras, there is no sound or microphone. The main cons for me are:1) you need an socket adapter bc the light end is too short to fit in most outdoor outlets.2) You have to go to settings to turn on the light. You can't just open the app and hit a button to turn the light on. It takes a few steps.3) The night vision is TERRIBLE. Even when the night vision is off, when you go to the view the camera with the light on at night time the image is overall dark. You have to hit settings > night vision > turn on > go back to view the camera image > hit settings again > night vision > turn off and your camera will now show in "color." I have 2 cameras and this strategy works on both of them. It's super inconvenient, but you can put the light on a schedule and change the light color.I wish the camera was able to move vertically as well, but again, for what you're paying and what it's capable of doing it's still a decent outdoor camera light if you have low expectations

Overall, I am disappointed with this camera. 1) After using it for a year it has stopped working altogether. 2) The camera resolution is poor. 3) The motion recording is inconsistent. 4) The night vision never worked. The only positive aspect of this product is its aesthetic appearance and the colorful lights it emits. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

While the quality of the image is pretty good; all of the controls, light scheduling and even the compatibility with the app is completely worthless.Here are the terrible issues with this camera:1: It is not compatible with the recorder unit and cannot save any videos on it. All of the videos must be saved on the cloud.2: The control goes through the cloud servers and is so laggy, that it might take 20 seconds for your input to actually start moving the camera. If your connection is lost when moving the camera, it will keep moving that direction until it hits its limit.3: The camera has 360 degrees of rotation, but it has a stop at the end of the circle. So it can move 360 degrees one way, but to go back around, you have to spin it 360 degrees the other way.4: My camera didnt work at all when I got it and I had to go through their support to get new firmware. I had to manually load the firmware since it was so old, it wasn't compatible with their current system. What a mess!5: The camera moves on its own. I'll set it to the position I want, but ill look at it later and it will have drifted over a little. Over time, ill have to reset it back to where I wanted it.6: The app has options to set a lighting schedule, but it doesn't work at all!While the image quality is good, everything else about this camera says that it wasn't ready to be released.

The first was a dud this one works well good at night excellent during the day I have this and 3 regular zmodo cameras works well all four happy so far my neighbor hood is pretty dark but it still shows clear black and white at night

I have had this for almost 3 weeks and have yet to get it working. I downloaded the zmodo app and tried to setup it never finds the ZMD_SAP network to get the camera connected to wifi. Zmodo products seem to be very difficult to get connected as needed to work properly. All I can say when I installed it in the outlet it moves and lights up but I cant get in setup via the zmodo app.
