Easy setup and great video
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.

Great clarity and nice wireless system
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.

Great System
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.

2/4 Cameras Work
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!

cheap
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.

Love the 4 cameras
Our other security system stopped working.
So far this new security system seems to be working well.

Overall good but two of my cameras stopped working
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.

Great product
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.

Easy to Install - Does the Job - Added Dummies
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.

Good but needs improvement
I am not new to Defender security cameras and have been pleased in the past. It was time for soemthihg better so I thought these would be a good choice. I am no pleased with the "wireless" as they still need a power source. I did know this drawback going in so that's on me. Still would have prefered some alternative to a plug in system. Its ok for inside but not for outdoor use so much.
My biggest complaint and something I didnt know when I bought this system was that there is no option to block areas for motion sensing. In other models (including my old one) I was able to program the system to avoid detection motion in certain areas of the camera. This comes in handy when you live on a busy street or want to avoid that tree blowing in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
For this reason the cameras area almost worthless because there is absoluetly no way I can watch my front door and not detect the motion of the cars on the street.
This is beyond disappointing. I would return it, however I didnt set it up until after I had it for 30 days. I would look for another model if I could do it again. -
Defender HD Wireless 1080 4 channel 1 TB
Took me a while to figure out best place to put cameras so they would sync well. Once I figured it out works great. I had the Phoenix model for 6 years and loved. And I decided to upgrade. So much clearer and love the app. Phoenix still working so put inside in garage and workshop. I really love the new ones. Love love love
