After a year in use, the Phoenix has worked flawlessly. Where it is installed there are two concrete walls between the camera and monitor screen and a distance of about 100 ft. It was well worth the investment.

Hello Robert, we are happy that the system is working well for you.
Great purchase for a great price. Exactly what I was needing. Especially since I didnt have internet. Good picture even in pitch dark. Easy to use and I love it comes with it's own monitor that's small and easy to hide

Hello Christopher, thank you for writing a review. We are happy that you are enjoying your PhoenixM2 system.
In an era of plug n play this was the easiest system to install and operate.Literally all you have to do is attach the hardware (two cameras) in the desired positions, plug in the device and it works. I did however, download the 38 page PDF instructions to fully understand how to set up the timers and playback options, which I strongly suggest. All of which was very simple to follow and understand.
The picture quality is great and you can choose either split screen (2 or 4 cameras) or isolate one camera as desired. With the motion sensor activated it records with sight and sound and offers the ability to communicate through each of the cameras. So, for example, if someone comes to the door you can see and communicate without opening the door...Fantastic!

This review may be premature, as I haven’t tried all the features yet (haven’t fully read the recording card) but I’m so pleased with my purchase that I’m compelled to share with prospective buyers what I’ve learned.
(First of all, Walmart shipped the product 4 days ahead of schedule).
1: It was well packed and all parts were included (sans the manual which was not supposed to be included – it is available online).
2: The construction of the cameras stands out right away, no flimsy plastic here. They are sturdily made of aluminum.
3: Set up was virtually plug-n-play, as the cameras come already paired.
4: The monitor is also plug and play. The views are sharp and the colors are bright. I was impressed with the night vision, as well.
The speaker brings indoors the beautiful sound of my outdoors wind chimes without losing sound quality. The mike also works fine. I’m glad I don't have to be replacing batteries, as the monitor also goes plugged in. It has a “sleep” mode and it continues to monitor action while in this option.
My only objection is that the markings on the monitor are faint white. Also, the monitor should come with a rechargeable back-up battery to keep the clock running when unplugged (like to change its location).
The Micro-SD card comes inserted into the adapter and I believe is already formatted (when I tried to format it, it didn’t do anything) and it records faithfully.
Buy this item with confidence. It is well worth the investment.
I would recommend this to a friend!
