I recently purchased this from a big box store, the set up is very easy and easy to navigate. I am very happy with the product and would recommend this to anyone.

I bought this system two weeks ago it was very easy to set up. great video quality and lot of flexibility of recording 24/7 motion and schedule. I use motion to save space and its nice to be able to adjust the sensitivity on the each camera. night vision clear and picks up a lot. might have issues on false triggers if your sensitivity is too high at night due to lights from passing cars at night.

Easy purchase, simple installation, great viewing, good protection.

We just bought and installed this a week ago and so far we are happy with the quality of the images and recordings. The issues we are having is with the sensitivity settings for the motion alarms and the app not working as well as we would like it to.

There are only three sensitivity settings for the motion alarm and even on the lowest setting we still get an alarm for EVERY car that goes by so we are constantly getting alerts from all three cameras so the piece of mind we thought we would have with cameras is gone and we are now paranoid every time the alert goes off, and we have to go through tons of videos a day to make sure all of the alarms were just cars or if someone was on our property.

The app doesn't work properly either, its pretty much useless. Every time there is a motion alert it is not logged under the alerts tab. I have to log back into the account half of the time and reconnect the cameras. By the time the cameras load back up whatever made the alarm go off is already gone. There also should be a feature for multiple users both my husband and I would like to have the app on our phone but when we both use it the app completly stops working. We cant set up a seperate account because it can pnly be used with one account.

I bought this system about a month ago and installed it this week. Installation was easy. After install and start up, two of the three cameras would go dark periodically and return on-line. However this this appeared to stabilize within hours. The smartphone app was a bit troublesome. It would not connect. I deleted the app, redownloaded, deleted the devise from the account and re-added the device. It then connected.

We were very happy that we received our system so quickly but only had a week and one of the cameras was stuck IFR mode. Called customer service for return auth. very efficient, had a replacement in 1 week, although we had to pay for the shipment back which I thought since it was their defect, they should have. However, they shipped it back at their expense. The new camera worked very well. I do have issues with the cameras cutting in and out and with the app frequently and randomly closing on my tablet. There is. however, plenty of troubleshooting inf. to look at and fix problems as you go, and customer service is top notch so that is a real plus! This is the first security system we have had so I have nothing to compare it to but overall once I get all the "kinks" worked out, I think we will be really happy with it.

I have owned Swann systems prior and thought I would try the defender based on price/options. Install was easy. Set up was easy. I am not impressed with the overall picture quality day or night. Cannot zoom in enough to read a license plate # from <50 ft Day or night. Very disappointing. have one camera where connection goes on/off...Customer service said to move the transmitter further from the ROuter/DVR...Like at least 6 ft, however the USB cable providing with the transmitter is only 3ft long. I did relocate it best I could and it does seem to be better.
Over all not over satisfied with this product and I would not recommend it nor would I purchase it again in the future.

Very easy to install. Great video! Many extra features, but requires patience.

Bought this 1 week ago and I am quite happy with this product. Setup was fairly easy, access to outlets for the cameras is a must. App is great you can view live from your phone anywhere

Very easy to install, although I had to move one camera closer to wifi as it would not pick up camera, it is about 35 ft from wifi now. The directions for set-up could be more detailed.

I bought this system and it works well. Easy to install. Easy to add an app on my phone, which works well if you have a WiFi connection. What they don't tell you is that you cannot store to the cloud and after spending days trying to access my DVR remotely thru the internet, the support group tells me that my system (Model WHD1T4 with 3 cameras) can not be accessed remotely using the internet, only with a smartphone. Using my phone to see my DVR uses a lot of data, which costs extra on my plan. Support is good, but you have to ask VERY specific questions. (Like, can I access using the internet). My cameras seem to "flare out" when the sun is shining and the camera is in the shade. It's an okay system for the price.

very east to hook up pic quality very good. price is good value for the product

This system is very simple to get up and running. Image quality is very reasonable for the price point and looks very good at night also. Cannot access DVR from newer Chromebook but the app on Android works great. I would recommend to a friend!

I WAS GIVEN VERY POSITIVE SALES TALK TO PURCHASE SAME BUT THE FUNCTIONING OF THE UNIT IS VERY POOR. REGRET PURCHASING SAME AND AM RETURNIN SAME TO GET A BETTER SYSTEM. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND MY FAMILY NOR FRIENDS TO EVER GET DUPED BY SALES PITCHES AND PROMISES.
