Nice Camera System
on October 5, 2023
Posted by: Bing L
from Ontario, Canada
Giving it 4 stars because it is a good system with nice quality cameras but:
1. It came with a faulty Cat5e cable, it has power but no connection is detected.
2. The human body alarm is faulty when camera is set on an angle, I have one installed at my porch area and it keeps thinking the tree or even my front door mat is a human body..
3. The night vision light can be a bit annoying sometimes, I don't think I've found a promising solution to have it turned off completely or not that sensitive.

Easy installation, besides crawling around the attic. Plug and play not internet access required unless you want to use the app

Powerful easy to use system can can't be beat.

We've had this system installed since the beginning of October and I could not be happier. Everything took about 8 hours to install properly and everything looks great.
The quality of the video far exceeds my last system. The colors are sharp and the details are crisp and clear. I've got 6 of the camera's outside and they are able to cover everything that I need it two. The other two cameras I have inside pointing at my doors so that I can see who is coming and going. Being able to view the camera's in real time using the app has been extremely useful, especially while expecting deliveries or watching the driveway to see when my kids come home. Anything that you can do with the recording unit (NVR) you can do with the app, and I don't think I've had to plug the NVR into my TV for a while now after discovering how powerful the app is.
Everything records in 4k and with audio so you can hear whats going on as well. I don't record 24/7, so I only have the motion and human detection turned on. Notifications are recorded in the app as well with a thumbnail, and when you click it you are taken right to that time so you can view the event on the player.
If you need a system, you can't go wrong with this one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cameras are easy to set up and great features.

Love the features and the ease of the cameras and setup. I do wish the video was a little clearer at 30 feet off the road and was hoping I would be able to catch a license plate number. I do like the fact that the cameras work just on a twisted pair of cat5 cable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Hank, Thank you for your wonderful review. Proud to hear that you love how easy the cameras are to set up. License plates can be more challenging to capture on video depending on the speed of the vehicle and the angle of the cameras, as well as the distance from the camera. Thank you for choosing Defender to protect what matters most. Best Regards, Amanda M | Defender Customer Experience Supervisor
