hey guys EBPMAN here and today we're
going to do an unboxing review and setup
of the zmodo torch
let's check it out and one of the things
that I'm really excited about with the
specific product from the moto is its
overall utility and simplicity most of
us would like to have a security camera
in our home and we find that the
complexity associated with putting it
together installing it could be
overwhelming
it's just a real pain in the butt when
you think about the wiring install the
mounting installed is everything about
it
well with this product if you can screw
in a lightbulb and you can attach two
cables
that's all you need to do let's check it
out now inside the box you never use
your belt a security camera and
installation guide the marketing
information screwdriver drill bet as
well as the screws with a level now all
this area here could be concerning for
someone you're like wow this looks
really complex we have a drill but you
have all these things associated it it
really comes down to this when you think
about that drill but if you have an
existing doorbell are going to be doing
is replacing your doorbell with this
specific solution and if that's the case
you may not need to drill bit at all so
don't worry about this side
what we'll do is we'll focus on the
utility of these two solutions and how
they all come together now the torch
prosolution is a two-part solution one
is this doorbell which has a motion
sensor and also has a doorbell that the
book off but then what you have is also
a security camera that's independent
from the doorbell and this one as you
can see is a light and a security camera
in one so literally if you can screw in
a lightbulb you can set up the torch pro
now the hardware kit that you saw during
the initial unboxing really is to
support the installation of the doorbell
let's flip this over four seconds it was
on the back there is a removable piece
of cardboard things going to remove that
for a second which has some sticky
surfaces here
well you're going to use this as a
template for your screws
right now you won't need to the drill
bit if you are on wood
I'm you could pre drill with it with a
smaller bit but this is literally to
help you guide and really visualize
where you're going to be placing your
doorbell now it does bring a level and
this level is really cool because it's
going to help you really make sure that
your doorbell is placed level now if
you're like me you like things straight
so that's why I think this is really
cool so what you'll be able to do as you
place it here you'll be able to align it
and adjust it until it's in the perfect
level and then you press this against
your wood or aluminum surface and then
this is where you're going to drive this
would be included screws so that you
have the placeholder now you're going to
have wiring coming out right and that
wiring opportunities two wires that you
use to connect your doorbell
alright so now before we do the
installation let's talk about the harbor
for a second so I the connected doorbell
so the doorbell does have a speaker and
a microphone so you can have a
conversation with the person when they
ring the doorbell and if you want them
to the package or you can come to the
door
whatever the use case maybe you'll be
able to speak to someone and you'll be
able to hear them
it has a our IR blaster an infrared
blaster with a distance of up to 10 feet
it has a PIR sensor well that's going to
pick up to 10 feet and has a working an
angle of a hundred and twenty degrees
right so that's the angle for the year
that's going to be able to cover the
power requirements are a 224 BAC which
pretty standard when you think about
common doorbells and then it's
waterproof up to I p-51 so it can be in
an area that you get rain because of it
being outside now the smart bulb that is
also the security camera has a 720p HD
camera with a harder than five fields
view so that's again how much gonna
cover what it can see it has night
vision up to 16 feet right and it has
350 lumens and it's really going to last
very long time or a hundred
thousand-plus hours power requirements
no different than any other light bulb
is a little bit taller than a light bulb
so you have to think about it
I have something in my eye that's your
driveway or coming into your garage area
that you want to make sure that this
covers you do need something that has a
clearance of 5.51 inches and the width
of 2.95 most of the fixtures that I've
seen in garages shouldn't have a problem
with this now one additional cool thing
about the bulb is that be included app
that you will have from the model is
going to allow you to change the colors
so you're literally going to be able to
change the colors of the light not just
from a standard white but to a variety
of colors that you choose and sometimes
during the holiday season more during
certain facilities people like changing
the light bulbs of the garage or the
outside you'll be able to do that
digitally without having to change the
bulb doing it purely through the phone
application now one of the things that
we're going to want to do is remove this
base so that you can mountain since
you've already did the alignment and
you've already either pre-drilled or
you've already marked everything for the
space to do this just going to slide
this like this and then you know push
down and then this is going to come off
now
this stop is going to align with the
again the surface that you use this
template for and this is a temple that
we saw a couple seconds ago right so
you've already pre-drilled or you've
done whatever to prepare the surface and
now we're going to do is going to place
this in place so this will be out like
this you'll drill you put the with a
screwdriver unscrew that you have there
to mount it and then once it's in place
that you'll be able to lock it in place
but before you do that you'll notice you
need to do some wiring this is how
simple this is only two wires
that's all you need so we're gonna go
ahead and connect those two wires so
that you can see how that would work and
once you remove your doorbell you're
going to find that there are two wires
coming out now in my illustration here
i'm using two Reds it's not going to be
two Reds depending on the age of your
home they can vary in color you could
have a black-and-red you can have a
white and red it could be various colors
depending on out who installed your
doorbell in the kind of wiring they have
regardless of what the type of flooring
in the color literally going to take one
connected to one side one connected
together you're going to make sure that
they don't touch that's all the
technical skills you need when
Thomas installing the solution because
again this one you just screw in the
light bulb so now that i've added power
and the doorbell system
I'm all i have to do is just place the
cover on top and we're ready to go now
once you've connected your doorbell what
you're going to see is that this little
button here is going to light up and can
be solid green after a couple seconds
going to be flashing like this
everything is ok now we're just ready to
connect it connected to your network and
also get the bulb connected and working
now depending on the phone that you have
android or iphone you going to go into
the appropriate marketplace you can look
for the mobile app and then you want to
install it now that we have our doorbell
powered and it's ready for configuration
so that you can see how everything works
i'm going to screw in this light bulb
you do this by your garage or you want
to put your fixture I'm putting it right
here so that you can see how everything
works so I've connected to this and
we're going to do is going to power it
up and then get everything all connected
now so you can see how everything works
together
I'm I've connected the torch to this
bulb socket outlet you would put this
obviously by your doorbell by your
garage wherever you want to have this in
your fixture so we're going to do is
going to power it up so you can see what
the experience is going to be like now
once you power it up it's going to start
cycling two colors is going to red blue
green yellow fuchsia and is now back to
green and what it will do is just like
this one is pulsing and green it will
eventually start pulsing green
communicating that it's ready to pair so
we're going to let them both start
pulsing and go back to the app now as
you can see the bulb is flashing green
and it's also as a very similar to
what's happening with the doorbell
so the next step is to connect these two
the app now I've logged into the app
I've have multiples of the mobile
cameras and I'm all i'm going to do and
this is all you'll do is once you set up
your account is hit plus now once you
hit the plus sign you'll want to choose
the link and do that and you'll choose
the number of devices are going to
connect and that's pretty standard if
you've ever installed as the mobile
product is gonna walk into the same
process what we want to do is connect to
a Wi-Fi network and you'll notice that
it says look for zmd ASAP and the same a
PSAP network is actually these devices
so we're gonna be connecting to the
device to our Wi-Fi settings on your
phone and then what we'll do is we'll
configure them so now as you can see in
my wife is going to be different for
every phone you'll notice that it states
that I'm connected to zmd sap now once
you go back to the app it's going to ask
you to enter the SSID for the network
that these devices are going to connect
to and to enter the password as well so
i'm going to put in my SSID and my
password for these devices connect now
once you enter your SSID and your
password is going to take a couple
seconds just to set up now you follow
the configuration process for each
device you have so i connected to the
zmodo network to this device named it
and configured it and then I did the
same thing for the torch and the bed
they have actual bulb itself changed
multiple colors to the process now what
you see here is I'm about to configure
or give the device a name and a password
I did that for this I'm going to do it
for that the next one and i'm also going
to establish what time zone is now once
you've configured both there now
connected to your app I'm going to go
later you'll notice that i have my torch
group here so let's take a look at some
of the functionality we have their let's
take a look at some of the things that
you can do on the actual app so you can
go to live you and the life is going to
show you your cameras as well as in this
case my torch if you could tap on it
you're going to be able to see what the
torch seas and if I put my hand in front
of it you'll notice how it's coming in
right in the front you do have the
ability to talk i remember said that
this really works well in those
scenarios were you have flipped the ball
so you see things are right now upside
down we can switch the little bit later
you do have the ability to talk so you
can speak to this you tap it and now I'm
starting to get my voice is coming
through and my voice is coming through
this door bell right here and it sounds
are relatively loud it
good enough for the conversation that
you want to have with someone who's
dropping off a package
you could also take a picture if you
want of the person who's dropping off
the package or I'll record that event
i'm going to get out of that and then we
can go back to motion and this is going
to give you information on the different
motions that you've detected so you have
all motions answered motions and then
just general motions that have taken
place you have ring alerts here and then
again this is basically alerts that have
taken place and the either have been
answered or they're just some been some
motions you do have a light function and
the light function is pretty cool
because the light function gives you the
ability to take advantage of the bolts
features that are here and change the
colors or create seems when I Drive
through my neighborhood IC folks that
have these kind of bulbs and they have
the bulbs themselves are based on the
holiday so for valentine's day they have
it in red for christmas you have a green
some of them have even some other
festive colors so we're going to do is
adjust the color so we can see how that
does it in the control and then show you
some flexibility and so the app itself
has some decent controls first what you
have colors and then you also have
themes so these things change based on
what you want to do you have here in the
bottom of the ability to control the
brightness of the bulb you also have
some intensity here that you can kick in
for the specific color and then you have
the ability to turn it on or off so i'm
going to turn on the bulb and I'll take
a couple seconds for it to just turn on
and you notice it turned on its right
now I a blue see if I can bring that
blew over to the side just hard to get
because it's so bright but very bright
and then what you can do is just with
the dial just change different colors
that you'd like you could also go to
themes themes as you choose a specific
theme it's going to execute that thing
so now you see that it's white it's a
white theme if i want to have breathing
which is this one right here and now
it's changed colors and it's going to go
to kind of like a cycle i'm going to
turn off the lights you can see all the
effects of the colors so this should
give you a sense of kind of like all the
different color variations it's going to
go through so it's breathing going from
ray
dad it's going to all the colors in a
very wide spectrum i'm choosing lavender
now so it's taking the lavender
operation and it just takes a couple
seconds and it changes you can see kind
of like a halo around it but I want
lavender i can choose rose and the rose
is going to get red you can see how red
the surrounding areas it's very deep red
not coming out quite on video
orange as well and literally all you
could even just change on all the calls
you want or what you can do is you can
adjust them here with the manual wheel
one thing I wanted to correct that i
mentioned in the video was the actual
positioning of the ball but never have
been trying to experiment with it i find
that this is really the type of solution
for a pendant type solution i have not
been able to rotate the image so this is
going to be if you have something
hanging from the top and that you screw
in the bulb this will do really well if
it's the other type we're just kinda
like the carriage type lamps the image
is going to be upside down and I haven't
been able to find any way to change that
so one thing out to point out though I
want to show you what the quality of the
image looks like so i have this box
propping up above pointing in this
direction so you can see what sees so
here you see the image and the image is
it's a good image so you're able to as
you can see zoom in by hand you can
actually see what's on each side so I'm
just some just moving with my finger and
that's kind of like the wide angle of
what it can pick up so it can pick up a
pretty decent area as you're moving
around and remember you can just take a
picture of it you can actually record it
or this is in the event that you're
talking somebody so nice image quality
but you may you will have to have one of
those solutions were hanging from the
top down so that the image comes across
straight so the next we're going to do
is trust the actual responsiveness of
the doorbell ring and then it coming up
on my phone i'm using an AT&T phone not
connected to my Wi-Fi so this is going
to be as realistic as possible
let's go ahead and press that button to
ring the doorbell
and then we're waiting to see is how
quickly will come up that was pretty
fast i'm gonna go ahead and accept this
and now I soon as I except i should not
see the image which I see here and just
to prove that we're seeing an image you
can see my hand coming from it and I can
actually hear my voice coming through
the door bell itself so i can have a
conversation with that person i can take
a picture of the person or i can record
this event so pretty fast response time
now the next thing i want to show you is
what a night shot would look like
so here I've rang the doorbell the light
is on stimulating like if you were
outside the light is on because it's
nighttime and now you can see kind of
that the image is not on color but more
of a grayscale put my hand right here
you can get into the shot you can see it
right there so it's not in any way color
even get my band in there you can see
how the band is not coming across and I
can still speak with the person but i
can see the person as well which is
really important so this is what your
view would look like and so far the
response is pretty good so this
concludes my review and installation of
the zmodo torch you saw very simple
installation
all it takes is two wires and screws to
connect it to your wall and then you
plug in a lightbulb and you're set to go
