great for isolated areas with no internet

Bought these a month ago, very easy to setup. Night vision is very sensitive to blowing and falling snow or furnace exhaust. A higher resolution would be great but overall a very compact easy to use system. I found the monitor menu easy to follow, the joy stick selector takes a bit of getting use to but works great once you figure it out. I am not sure if someone can hack into the system or not, maybe Defender can provide some information re how secure the system is from hackers.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello AlbertV,
Thank you for your review and feedback, we are happy to hear love the system's compact design. Our advanced 128-bit Secure Guard encryption delivers the simplest security solution. Simply plug in up to 4 to the monitor to connect to Phoenix’s private network and keep your footage for your eyes only. Thank you for choosing Defender to protect what matters most.

Lots of crime out there

So far, so good but just got them up. Someone kept flashing a flashlight into our window at night, for 2 nights. Thought it was time to get some cameras up. And today caught a car coming down our driveway, our dog came out, it pulled out then sat at our mailbox for a while. But got it all on our new Security Cameras. I'm going to like these Defender Cameras.

Could be great, isn't yet.
on December 4, 2022
Posted by: Creemore
from Ontario, Canada
Gender:Male
Verified Purchase:Yes
The cameras are sturdy and seem well made, and the wireless recording and monitoring function has impressive range. Unfortunately, falling snow sets off the motion detection, necessitating turning off the outdoor camera much of the time. Also, any power interruption shuts down the monitor, which must be manually turned back on... a problem for extended absences. I am still waiting for a tech support response on the snow question, which I submitted a couple of weeks back. Over all, a product that could easily be great, but has fallen short for us in real world use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Night vision is terrible
on November 4, 2022
Posted by: Sarah P
from Canada
Gender:Female
The set up was relatively easy, despite there was no instructions included in the box. I still am not able to set up the motion recording properly or play it back if it has recorded something. During the day the picture quality is very clear, but the night vision is terrible and completely useless. Which is mostly what we wanted it for, because usually mischief will happen at night. So we are very disappointed with these expensive cameras that really do not meet the standards that we read online.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
