I purchased this system in August and I am very pleased with it so far. Easy to hook up cameras, easy to hook up DVR and start recording. The only problem I had is viewing from my smartphone and tablet externally until I saw the CLEARVU APP on the Defender website. Just scan the code on the DVR with your device, follow the instructions and 30 sec. later your ready to view your cameras from anywhere. I am a truck driver and it is very nice to be able to see what's going on at home while I'm away.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent system took about four hours to install. really cool to be able to monitor the home from everywhere. Still learning all the features. Had a connectivity issue with the modem but a phone call to Sean at CWD Sales and Support had it fixed it pronto. Great support service (spoke american english).

Pro Sentinel Security Camera System

The first system I purchased was the wireless camera system. Later I found that I could use this wired system and hide the wires. I chose the wired system because I didn't want to use my bandwidth. Both systems are very good and comparable. I have had the system for 6 months and love it. As a bonus, the technical support is very good. People like Michel are knowledgeable and willing to help with any issues or setup. I would highly suggest this system for security cameras.

For under $400 and get all this in the package is well worth an entry level system. Easy enough to set up and hook up, though it is difficult running the wires if you have a low ceiling attic.
The picture quality I feel lacks some, and when you zoom an image, forget it, much to blurry. I do get lense reflection on a few of the cameras, maybe I can tweak the cameras over time or purchase Sun Visors, which they should come with but I'm sure they are trying to keep the price down.
I would refer this system if your budget is small like ours. There are I'm sure much better systems out there if you spend some extra cash.
The smart phone app works smoothly, though it's still a little early to give a definitive review on it....we do have a couple small issues with configuration and unnecessary features installed in the app...all minor.
Overall we give this system 4 of 5 stars
Pros- easy to hookup, comes with EVERYTHING, decent recording features, ok picture quality, pretty good mobile features, and simple set up.
Cons- pixelation is high, no sun visors, cheaply made remote and mouse, does not have wireless feature built into the Hard Drive, you have to run an Ethernet cable which you'll have to purchase or make.

This is the second camera system I've owned from Defender and and I'm very happy with performance. Old sytem was still working fine afetr several years however, I bought this one because I liked the wide angle view and the resolution appears better. The night vision also appears to be clearer than my previous model. Setting up on my I-Phone was much easier than in the past.
