This is an updated comment. Had the Phoenix M2 for 16 months, it is easy to set-up, has a great picture, many great features, and good customer support. However, I have found that there is a problem with the unit being used in a cold environment. Eventually ( a week or two) the "Out Of Range" notice pops up frequently and there is no picture until it resets itself, eventually the picture never comes back. I purchased another camera, set it up and I once again had a picture. After leaving the original camera in the house for several days, I tried using it to see if it would work and it did. I would suggest that if you are going to purchase the system, and you live in a cold climate, you should purchase the system that comes with two cameras so you will have a spare camera to change out when required.
I wanted something to keep a eye on the front door area and also to keep a eye on the dog`s when they are out back. This is perfect. A true plug and play. The soft red glow of the LED`s at night around the lens is comforting to my surprise. If a intruder see`s this lite....it`s to late. It starts recording before they are in about 4 sec. in view. I could go on....
Purchase the system a few weeks ago for my home. It was simple and easy to install, also self explanatory Great picture and sound quality. I ordered two more additional cameras and pairing was simple. A small investment for the extra security.
Just as just about everyone says in the review - easy to set-up and start watching right away. No cumbersome details to deal with like other systems. Audio is great, loud and clear. The view single or multi-camera is easy to go back and forth with. We're using it as security for our house and to watch our dogs in the back yard. Even at night - still clear and visible.
I just plugged in the Cameras and monitor and had good picture quality and outdoor coverage I wanted. I installed the system myself and benefited from having ready access to power source.. No fooling with Wifi. I will slowly learn the additional features of the system at my own pace. My wife and I are very pleased with the Defender camera coverage and quality of video. We can see our front porch and front door area completely.
