Install and set up was easy. Running wires in the attic is a challenge but would be for any brand. Recommend that you test all equipment and then pull wires and mount cameras. Note for possible improvement would be to use a better quality adjustment screws. They strip out very easily. Suggest using a high quality torx head screw. Had a problem with a couple of the cameras going offline, not sure why. I rebooted the NVR and they all reconnected. I had Lorex cameras for many years and I believe these are better quality and set up was much easier.
I love the cameras themselves, but the app only works on Android phones and tablets, and they haven't updated it since 2019. Sometimes the app will just close for no reason. I tried building a VM on my Windows 2010 laptop with various versions of Android, but the Defender app will not start up. Please update the app to be more compatible.
The Defender Alarm System is AWESOME!!! The cameras now clearly monitor our hallways. We previously had major issues with students running up & down our hallways. The cameras recorded very clear & distinct photos that were given to the local high school. Problem solved!! The pictures on the monitor alert our staff when there is activity in the office. We love our system and Our staff are feeling very secure & safe. Patient & staff safety are Our #1 concern. ‘Wish We had installed The Defender System before. It’s very user friendly & We can observe any movement from across the room. Recently the hydro was out (4hrs) the emergency lighting allowed Our office to carry on as usual. Less stress, NO more worries! Thank YOU Defenders!

We've had a Defender Guard camera in our front yard for 2 or 3 years, decided to go with DG again for the back yard. I installed this new one in, literally 15 minutes, 3 screws and run the wire to the outlet...super easy to pair to my existing DG app. I recommend these to all of my friends.
