Bought this system a few weeks ago and so far not many issues with it. Can be a little fussy to setup but for the price its great.

Exceeded Expectations

Before purchasing I looked at a lot of different units/companies. I knew I wanted a wired unit and not wireless (no batteries, personal preference). I finally decided on this Defender unit. My expectations were pretty low considering all the stuff I have bought over the years and what that stuff was like when I got it. The Defender arrived in two boxes since I bought an additional four cameras. I was very impressed just unwrapping everything because it was so well packaged. Each camera had its own box and every thing was compact and well protected. A quality job. I was still skeptical with how I thought the cameras would perform and how hard everything would be to hook up. Again I was pleasantly surprised, everything was plug and play. The hardest part was climbing around in my attic to run the wires. Once it was all hooked up everything worked! I'm not a big cell phone user but downloading the app was a snap. It is very cool that I can view the cameras on the cell phone from anywhere, a cool feature I think Defender should advertise more. The menu is very self explaining and you can get around easily. The unit has been running now for about two months and I check it every once in a while but not often. I just rely on it doing its job. I have the main unit under my TV in the front room for now but intend on putting it in the basement.
Overall I am very happy with the whole unit and impressed with it. Easy install, plug and play, quality packaging. I would recommend this unit to anyone.

Overall happy with the system

I'm replacing an older Defender system with this one, as after 7 years felt it was time to upgrade. That being said though, I did find that the new cameras, though having a much better picture quality, don't seem to be as strong or well built as the cameras on the older system. Old cameras were mostly metal and these are mostly plastic. We'll see how they standup over time. Also had problem getting the iPhone app to work or even register me.

We bought our Defender HD 1080p with 8 bullet cameras approx a month ago. We love it! Super easy to install and operate. Great pictures and love though hardwired, we also can view wirelessly on our phones, tablets etc. for added security. Super products at a great price.

Nice Security System

Bought this system to replace the DVR (on my current Defender system because it went bad) and to utilize the "newer" cameras. These cameras show a wider field of view--but it "curves" it to make it fit on the screen. The white color looks better for inside the house, but will continue to use the black for the exterior. The phone App is EXCELLENT and you can switch between a low/high resolution for playback. Overall, a very nice system that you can install yourself.

Day 1 of setup and I have to say I’m very impressed. Super easy to set up and dozens of YouTube videos to help with any problem. You do have to setup dvr on a monitor initially for username and password reasons. Once I done that I relocated dvr to my closet by my router and will be operating system from my phone through the app. Hopefully all will work out. I only set up the dvr so far and tested one camera on it to make sure all was ok. Going to run the cables this weekend and set up cameras on the outside of my house. I am very happy with this purchase as of now. Seems to be of high quality so I’m hoping it will deliver for years to come. Based on all product reviews that Defender produces, I’m sure it will.
