I needed a plug and play system to monitor my property for trespassers but did not want to use internet or computers. The Phoenix M2 was affordable and perfect for this application. Setting up the record feature is easy and the night vision is very good. I recently contacted customer support to help me through a firmware upgrade and was pleasantly surprised at how helpful Darrielle was in walking me through the process. I will likely expand the system later knowing that I can count on Defender for technical help. Overall a great experience.
I bought this product a month ago and its doing a good job of keeping my beliefs and Home safe! And the ways of this product are worry free. So im glad to have this in my home today..... R.M.
I purchased this unit directly from Defender. It was an open box unit but all the parts were there. The cameras have good video color and resolution. The resolution suffers some in the zoom mode.
We had trouble with the cameras not staying linked to the monitor. I ask for help from the Defender support team. Darrielle responded with a new firmware update that fixed all the problems we were having.
I would recommend this unit to anyone who wants to get a security system that doesn't cost an arm an leg.
This is my second Defender product. So far the PhoenixXM22C works as expected, however the range away from the cameras is limited. The monitor function button names are hard to see and read because of the light gray font on a dark gray background. For several years I have used a Defender 21000 series 4ch-DVR System and have had absolutely no problems with the system. After several years it still works as well as it did new out of the box. Defender is a very dependable product.
