Our Recommended Plan

Why We Recommend the 7-Day Plan

Zmodo’s 7-Day Plan is a good fit for its competitive price-point (you’ll typically find providers that offer video recording charge around $4.99/mo. for a single camera). With this plan, you’ll still get alerts to your phone whenever motion is detected by your camera, and you have up to 7 days to review and playback video. Honestly, in the event you notice something suspicious, you’ll likely alert the authorities immediately, and that’s why we think the 7-Day Plan offers enough time for you to store, review, edit, and share recordings. If, however, you would like to store your video for a longer period of time, we’d recommend going with the 30-Day Plan.
