Understanding Sleep Mode On Zmodo Cameras

The Zmodo camera system is a smart home security system that includes indoor and outdoor cameras. The system offers a feature called Quick Modes, which allows users to quickly adjust notification settings and device behaviour for all their Zmodo devices. One of the four Quick Modes available is Sleep, which can be manually toggled or scheduled to automate alerts and camera behaviour.

How to manually toggle sleep mode

To manually toggle Sleep Mode on your Zmodo camera, you must first download the Zmodo app on your smartphone. You can download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
