I purchased this system from Bestbuy and was very disappointed with the results. After numerous attempts, I could not get one of the cameras to work properly. Although all the cameras worked when I tested them, as soon as I moved one of them about 35 feet from the receiver, the camera would not pair up again. It seems to have an issue with a 1/2" thick Aspenite wall. The camera will work on the other side, but as soon as I move it to the outside of the wall, the camera will not reconnect. In total it is passing thru a regular insulated house wall and the uninsulated garage wall. I can understand there is some signal loss when encountering obstructions, but that seems a bit much.

I bought this a month ago and I am so happy I did!

Purchased 4 weeks ago to monitor outside of home. Was easy to set up with the set up wizard. Am notified at work through my smart phone when there is any activity and able to view anywhere I am with my phone.

This system is exactly what I was looking for. Although I could run cat5 the convenience and quality of the pic/video are outstanding. The system is accessed through my smartphone including erasing videos and alerts. Thank you!

I bought this 3 camera 2K system in July 2019 and have been very happy with the performance.

Bought this system 2 weeks ago and the set-up was very easy! Had a question about the NVR and got an answer back within 24 hours. Cameras have a great picture and when you have one in your hand you can tell they are well built and have a quality feel (not like the cheap plastic cameras). Good documentation and the many instruction videos are a very helpful resource. The system was more money than I wanted to spend but after the fact, I'm glad I did!

Excellent coverage and easy to set up. Definitely gives me peace of mind knowing I’m covered even when I’m not home.

I bought two of these systems and love the way they work. Would buy again in the future. Excellent quality.

The cameras are well built and have a great picture but the wireless range from the cameras to the NVR is disappointing. I spent the extra money on these so I could avoid running cat5 cable all over the house but I am still going to have to wire 3 of the 4 of them. One camera is only about 25ft from the receiver and won’t stay connected at all. Two other cameras stay connected but have lots of gaps in the recording. Only one camera stays constantly connected without recording gaps. Also, the mobile app is not the greatest; I hope they come out with a newer version of the app soon.

Has a great picture. The wireless range is not very far at all.Cameras will lose signal when I put the receiver at the back bedroom of the house and the cameras are installed at the front of the house. No more than 50 feet max. Sure would be nice if they came with paper instuctions.

I spent a long time looking for a Wifi NVR with its own access point so I wouldn't have to use the same AP as the rest of my home devices. I wanted a dedicated Wifi network just for the cameras and NVR. I thought the price of this system seemed pretty low to be good but based on many positive reviews, I decided to try it anyway. I am not disappointed.

The cameras were easy to setup and I've only jut begun to play with some of the more advanced features like email notifications on motion and so on but it's still recording all the video to the HD and I can review it locally or via the Android app.

I wish that the cameras recorded audio but I knew they didn't when I purchased them so that's ok. I bought the 3-camera package so I have one more "slot" free for a fourth. I'd like to find a small one that I can use as a doorbell cam but until then, the system is working just great! It's been running for 3 weeks now.

I think the documentation might be a little weak for some of the more advanced features but if you just want a system that plugs in and works out of the box without caring about the advanced things, this fits the bill. I would definitely recommend the Defender 2k system!

I purchased this system for my daughter's house after having my Defender system for a few years and being very happy with it.
Setup is pretty easy with the QR Reader and picture quality is very good.
Remote access with IPhone App is quick and fully functional.
Would definetly recommend for someone looking for a great camera system at a good price.

I had bought this system on the mid of July, so far three of them are working well, the only one on the back of my house is still "on and offline" might cause of the wifi.

Hi Chi, thank you for the review. The fourth camera may be having an issue due to the wifi not reaching far enough. A possible way to resolve this issue is to use a wifi extender.
