This system is so easy to set up and use. I purchased three camera system.Decide where you want to place cameras,note they do need a power source. I pre mounted my cameras on 4x6 piece of wood to make installation easy. plugged each camera into power, powered up monitor and cameras worked. I took my time to hide wires and put power packs out of elements,these three camera are out side. the cameras have a very crisp picture and have the ability to listen and talk through cameras, a great feature,also they do have a zoom feature and night time viewing.I love the low tech of these camera, no internet connection required.
bought last year had some problems they fixed them,am buying two more they work, the picture is what you are looking for! I wish I would have had them one month sooner the guy would be in jail now,
Love the simplicity! I set up the system in less than 5 minutes. The instructions were easy to understand. I called the Customer Service Dept. as there was a feature I did not have on my old similar system. MIKE is an awesome Defender employee; he helped me with my question, and I also reviewed with him how I set my system up to make sure all was good. MIKE represents your company well! In closing, I would highly recommend this system ... easy set up, great customer service, and price is in line with product capabilities.
When I received the I check everything out, then I installed it in less than 45 minutes and the quality of the picture was great. This unit gives me an image on my front door and back door, as well as my shop out side. As an old advertisement said, "So easy, even a Cave Man can do it"
I did not believe it would be so easy to set up. It was extreme easy to instal and worked also most instantly. Works much better than I thought it would.
I have looked at many of the reviews and it seems that the "Out of Range" problem still exists. I purchased my first unit two years ago and after several months I had the above mentioned problem. The customer service people were very nice but after returning two systems, and three replacements, the "Out of Range" issue was never solved. For those of you that have been experiencing this issue without resolve, I recommend getting a COBRA system. I hated to spend the additional money on another system that might be no better than the Defender, or possibly be worse, but that was not the case. The Defender and the Cobra work on the same channel so they are compatible, the Defender Camera works with the Cobra Monitor, and I have not had an "Out of Range" signal in the past 6 months. There is one issue, the Cobra monitor will only record the Defender camera for 6 seconds, no matter what setting you have. When the Cobra camera is used, there is no issue. If the "Out of Range" signal is an issue with anyone else, then you might consider the COBRA system.
