OUT OF RANGE PROBLEMS

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.
Had these a couple months now and for the most they are good cameras the night vision could be better and I think the biggest thing is they are REALLY sensitive because the central unit kicks on and sets them off but other than that they are great cameras and would purchase again.
The PHOENIXM22C is fantastic. I mounted the cameras, one in the South window one in the West window. Followed the menu selections, nice clear images, it beeps when someone is coming, Fantasic for the house. Thanks
ordered on-line played with late at night! Had running in 15 minutes. Only issue no home computer to print owners manual. A little one pager would have been nice!
Was impressed when we received it in the mail, the packaging made it very secure so it would arrive undamaged. It was so easy to set up and great clarity on the monitor, even with the split screen. Only downfall is it beeps whenever the wind blows or during snow gusts so real sensitive at least!
