I own four of these cameras. They are easy to set up and work right out of the box. You cant go wrong with these cameras. No need for wifi which to me was a great selling point. I do not want my videos to go to cloud. SD card is So easy to use. The videos are sharp. Night vision is good. Happy I found these and will buy more for my barn.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Shirley, thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for being a loyal member of the Defender family. We hope to help you protect what matters most for years to come.
Item shipped in a safe and secure well packed box. This was a concern to me because I have had items destroyed by very rough shipping and handling in the past. Fast and easy setuo and installation. I did have to download the 'Firmware Upgrade' from their website. It kept saying 'Out of Range' often enough that it was a huge nuisance. Camera was installed 60' away from the monitor on the outside corner of my house which has vinyl siding. The upgrade did help a lot but every now and then I still get the 'Out of Range'. Camera picture is excellent. Night vision is much better than expected. Overall a quality product.

Hi Steve, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. your feedback is greatly appreciated. Sorry about the range issues you've been having, feel free to reach out to us at prioritysupport@defender-usa.com and we will help you resolve this issue.
I talked my 84 year old Auntie into going with this system as she would have trouble dealing with app controls on her iPad or a confusing DVR menu. It is easy to set up and install for her compared to wired systems and the controls on the monitor/recorder are very intuitive and easy for her to learn. The video quality is better than expected. Fantastic little system. I may get one myself!

Hi Terri, we're honored that you chose us to help protect your Auntie and what she values most!
Shopped around for a few months to replace an older Harbor Freight purchased 'inexpensive' 4 camera wired system; did not want to re-run wires, so looked into a few brands of wireless. PHOENIXM22C, purchased through Sam's Club, chosen mainly because return policy is great. I temporarily had the monitor plugged into a long extension cord where I could actually have the camera and monitor side by side while adjusting the camera tilt, etc. for the perfect coverage scan I was looking for. Really impressed for the money spent; a little more print information on the specifics would be a nice touch!

Hi James, thank you for your review. We're happy to hear you are enjoying your new wireless security system!
I bought this in November but only started using it after coming home from Florida in April. Easy to set up. Love knowing when someone drives in our yard. HOWEVER the monitor keeps blinking off and on...sometimes just stays off until we replug it. Went thru all the steps re-pair the camera and monitor but still continues to give us interrupted screen play Not sure if I would recommend it based on dependability
