Title: Easy set up, ready to work right out of the box, clear and bright views!!!
Review: Used to replace a worn out First Alert system of one camera that was protecting my garage, car park, alley, and back yard. Two cameras now cover more of that space and the resolution is fantastic (clear details, and in bright colors). Not much instructions, so first timers might want to consult the online instruction book. Nothing to do really, remove from various plastic bags, attach cables (snap in) in all three pieces, and screw in the antennas and stands on the cameras. Plug in all three parts to a suitable surge protector (I like my new Revolve w/ rotating plugs to hold all the oversized adapters). Cameras immediately come on. Fool a bit with the settings, how long to record, etc. Personal preference really. I did not consult the online instructions.Then being a lazy sort of homeowner, I merely popped them on my inside window sill, pulled up the two corners of the screen and adjusted them to the right angle and closed the storm window(there is a roof overhang so window sill does not get wet). This gives me great wide look at whole backyard in both directions. Moved monitor to the bedroom directly west of the cameras and the whole system works beautifully (there is even a window a/c in this room and no problem with interference at all. This is a second floor application so the view is fantastic.This is a well made system, ie screen has an adjustable sturdy plastic foot, cameras are solid and stands easily adjust angles. While screen isplastic, cameras appear to be all metal of heavy duty weight. They stood up on their own with a little nudge and no fastening down. Fussy homeowners can hang out the window and fasten the cameras anywhere they like.Comes with two cameras, two stands, and three cords/adapters, slightly cheap fasteners for permanently fastening to house. Get some small (2"x2") decals that tell neighbors you have security cameras (if they have good eyes to see fine print). I would suggest ordering a BIG security camera sign on Amazon (I still had trouble with neighbors until the big signs went up, and now they run past property instead of stopping to look in my car windows). Also receive a little plastic pick for resetting device that looks like a dental floss pick that I will promptly lose. Few instructions, a few small paper directions on how to pair up the cameras if you have problem. They arrive paired up, so no problem there at all. Otherwise, consult the instruction book online if you are fussy and want to know every detail before you open box. But with just experience with an old, outdated system with one camera, I had system working in 5 minutes.Very pleased with this system, very detailed, beautiful resolution and color. Well made, sturdy, and easy to set up.

Title: Robust and easy to setup
Review: I like how easy it was to setup all four cameras. I purchased the four cameras and monitor and they have been in use for about 18 months with no issues. I also like the night time picture as well, very clear. Recently a tree branch fell on my house and damaged one of the cameras and it would be nice to just be able to purchase a replacement.

Title: Nice And Simple System
Review: I wanted something that was easy to install and easy to operate. I don't use WiFi which made finding a. good system a bit difficult. I came across this system and was impressed with the picture quality, alert feature that beeps should someone or something come within a 40 ft., range and the fact that you can speak to strangers through the camera which has become a necessary safety feature. The only four drawbacks are the price, size of monitor, thin cords connected to adapters and lack of a backup power supply. The monitor is a bit small and hard to see from a distance if you have more than two cameras hooked up., The wires are a little fragile and can get damaged easily if care is not taken while tacking them down. The cost is a little too too high for the product but, this is just my opinion. Last, there is no backup power supply should there be a power outage. The power went out in my area for about 10 minutes and the system shut down. I had to press the power button on the monitor to restart the system and continue recording... So-, if if you leave home, for whatever reason, and there is a power outage, you can not record the activity on/around your property until you return home to manually restart the system. 😶Also, it would be nice to have the option of selecting and purchasing a larger monitor. Despite this,the general quality of the item seems to be very good. It seems to be fairly dependable. Despite this, I definitely feel much safer knowing what's going on around my property without having to look out of a window.

Title: Perfect for my needs
Review: When I moved my elderly mother in with me because she had dementia, this was the perfect Plug & Play set for living in a real rural area. Satellite wifi is not only very expensive, it isn't as fast and dependable as you may think. But the Defender Phoenix is perfect for indoor/outdoor use and has great features. The monitor will alert you when motion is detected and you can communicate with people through your camera with the two way audio. You can see very well with the day or night vision that switches automatically with light sensor. If mom got up at night I was alerted by the monitor that I could plug up anywhere I wanted. The camera wires are tiny and long, so for the cameras outside I ran mine through the window to plug it up inside the house. It records when motion sensor is triggered and saves video on to a sd card.

Title: Security Cameras for Dummies!!
Review: Very easy to install and set-up. There's a long written manual on line for this camera system but you won't need it. The system is that easy to set up. I wanted a non-Wifi camera because everything I have is hard-wired by ethernet. This is a stand alone system that does not rely on Wifi. I installed myself and it's working perfectly with minimal effort. It's been up and running for 2 weeks. Very pleased. I will update if this product fails to perform. Buy the 4 camera system because it's worth the extra. If you add camera(s) later, it's a little expensive. I made that mistake so get the 4 camera system. There is always another spot on one's property for security camera coverage.

Title: Not a fan of the cords
Review: It worked ok. The screen is small. It did show the size and it was accurate. That is on me. I do Oil Field gate guarding. I purchased these because we need eyes on the gate when we are inside. They are corded so I needed to put them inside. The infrared lights didnt do well through the glass. It blinded any visual of the outside. I may use them in the future on my property but not for guarding.

You need a flash light lol.No External monitor input support in case your LCD or LED screen dies you will need to replace the 7 in monitor.some people might want a bigger monitor newer models they have a 10 inch screen.bit Pricey for $550 wait for a sale.But overall very good security cameras

Review: This Defender system is replacing an old failing Lorex camera.I have two stray cats living in my garage and quite often some raccoons come in and steals the food, so when I see them on the camera I just point my car key car key fob at the picture and click on the alarm. It is very effective. You can hear the horn blasting, the headlights flashing. I live on acreage , so my neighbours can’ hear it, my cats are used to the sound & totally ignore it. The raccoons take off as if the devil himself was chasing them & usually do not come back for weeks. The monitor is on the second floor and still I get a GREAT SHARP COLOUR PICTURE.Combined with musical tone motion detector alert & the Defender system my kitties and I can rest easy.

Review: Living almost off grid with no wifi, found this plug and play system was an excellent value for the money. Both the installation and set up was simple. Love the speak thru camera feature. The economical monitor works adequately, the only disappointing feature was the 66% view, so have ordered a second package to cover other areas. Overall based on the price, the features and hardware meet expectations.
