I bought the Defender PhoenixM2 set which has two cameras .Its a great security set ,works well as image is very clear during the day but limited at nights as the 40 ft distance is somewhat dismal and could do with some clarity.Tried viewing the outside of my driveway peering through my glass window,works well during the day ,but at nights the vision is limited as the 16 infrared lights reflects back to the monitor.Perhaps should not be placed pearing through glass.
I bought two systems, to monitor an area inside my house. I bought two, because I needed two monitors. This system would be exceptional if you could use two monitors , with one camera. Installed the cameras one above the other. Exactly what I was looking for. Perfect picture and clear sound, which is a big bonus. Works better then those more expensive systems. And this is completely wireless!!! No running a wire to your WIFI, and it comes with a monitor. Signing off, Completely satisfied!!!
My father bought this for our pond as we have raccoons who terrorize our koi fish and I was impressed with the monitors clarity. I'm the one who researched security systems and saw a lot of negative comments about the monitors of other product lines...the comments for this monitor were positive and that's what initially drove us to Defender, also saw positive comments about customer service which you don't see a lot of nowadays. Alarm has different volumes, and can add up to 4 cameras. So far, so good
I Just got this unit and was so surprised how easy it was to install and set up. Without even looking at the manual, you can set the time and date. Best to wait until you are up and running to do any adjustments on the monitor. The picture is so clear. More than enough cable comes with the unit. All and All I am very,very Happy with this Defender System. If you're looking for a good system...This is the one.
They shipped very fast and was very user friendly, the quality of the night vision is poor you can't really recognize the face of the individual, often goes out of signal even when closed to the camera. Will probably buy a nest outdoor 1080p camera next
