I have to admit system was easy to set up. Fairly easy to use but I give them 1 star because that is the lowest I can give because oI the following reasons. I bought this same system last year and they have raised price $110 in one year. Does not work as claimed. Not worth the money. They claim can see 130 ft at night--does NOT. Connectors do not fit standard connectors of extension wires. Don't put camera over 100 ft (length of good extension cord) from outlet. Continually drops off line. I called before I bought and asked about phone tech support because my hands are bad and can not type very long. They told me they had tech support. No real tech support. Must be email only and then not very good instructions or watch a video. When you do call you have to go through "after sales" and they are worthless for info and have an attitude.

I just purchased and installed, in less than an hour, my third Defender wireless system. I've purchased and installed two competitive systems in the past and Defender is the best security system hands down for ease of use, features and picture quality.

We just bought this system for our house and it was pretty easy to install. The picture quality is pretty good and the software is user friendly. We ordered 2 more cameras for the inside of our house so hopefully that works out just as well. Much better than systems I've installed in the past with running wires and such. So far a very good purchase.

I have other wired Defender systems but these are my first wireless ones. I bought two of these to provide good coverage inside. It sometimes takes a few minutes for a camera to be online once powered up but the wireless range has been adequate for my application. Great way to keep an eye on the dog when we're out.

I bought this system about 6 weeks ago. The initial set up was not as "intuitive" as my Pheonix 2 system, but this system does far more. The customer support was a huge help and had me up and running very quickly. I am still playing with some of the settings, but had it running well enough to use in no time at all. I am very happy with the system so far and am sure I will be for a long time.

Just recently purchased this unit and found it was relatively easy to set up the hardware. Still having some trouble setting up e-mail motion alerts.

Would recommend. Great video, App works great.

I'm not sure if the signal is just weak or what but only 2/4 cameras work now and they all worked when we first set them up. Wish we would have went with a different brand!

j'ai deux systèmes , un sans fil / 2 caméras sur 4 de brisées après 3 mois et un avec fil, 2 caméras brisées sur 4 après 2 mois. image saccader pour le sans fil, au début c'était ok , maintenant les mêmes caméras au mêmes endroits fonctionnent quand bon leur semblent , pas fiable du tout pour une surveillance contre les voleurs.

Our other security system stopped working.

So far this new security system seems to be working well.

the set up and functionality of the product is good. picture quality is decent and the night vision works pretty well. however 2 out of my 4 cameras broke within a half year. they no longer recorded, output, or connected to the system. the app works fine, but it looks out dated. lastly, the auto firmware updating function in but into the system setting does not actually work.

I am happy with this security system and the custom service. The only thing I don't like is the camera's power plug is big when it is plugged into a duplex receptacle it partially covers the other available slot.

Purchased and installed this model to view our front door area, the walkway from the porch, and the driveway from the garage. Purchased an additional camera for the rear door area, since the unit is set up for four views on a monitor. The rear yard area has extremely limited access, so I wanted to purchase two dummy units from Defender, but found them discontinued. I found discontinued Defender dummy cameras online and installed them to cover the rear yard area. To "convert" these Defender dummies to "wireless", I purchased two spare antenna from Defender (found the same ones online "cheaper" afterwards) and purchased two SMA female connectors, drilled a hole in the cover of the dummies for the connectors, and attached the antenna, resulting in a plausible "wireless" coverage look when mounted under the eaves.
