Customer Reviews for Defender 8-Channel Ultra HD 4K (8MP) 2TB DVR Security Camera System with Remote Viewing and 8 Cameras

The cameras have a very detailed picture. Color is great. My wife and I prefer the hard wired camera system instead of having a wireless system. That way unless the power is out we are recording. This is a great system

Overall I love the Defender 4K and would recommend it to anyone. Only reason for the 4 star instead of a 5, is the cables on the cameras could make installations easier if the cable was 6-10 inches longer. Here in Florida you are almost always going through or over a cement block wall and it makes it difficult with the current length.

All it does is make an annoying whirring sound. Extremely disappointed

Great picture and quality for the price. The system is easy to setup and is well worth the investment. I have helped several people set this system up at their home and business. Have had no problems with any of equipment

Just installed this week. Picture quality is awesome!!Purchased 2 (16 camera)units and my customer is very happy

The screws on the cameras are so tight they cannot be unscrewed. Not even with an electric screwdriver. Not even the strongest man. The camera is useless if I cannot adjust it. I would like to get an exchange for one of the cameras.

works well, we 've had some blurry issues. don't have audio on the cameras and the play back on the connecting app is not as good as on the at home device itself

I bought this system because of the 4K and good reviews I leave on a dead end road and my wife needed some peace of mind knowing she could look outside without opening the door. The cameras have good quality and the distance is great even at night.I like the easy setup and installation it was simple. Only thing it only turns up or down and I need it to turn right on two cameras to get a better view and if it did it would be a five star I recommend this system very highly. 100% better than a Sony system my neighbor has.

Best 4K camera systems out there! Stop looking already!

Fantastic system, a breeze to install! Clarity is amazing and night vision is clear and bright.

Let me start by saying I was very nervous about purchasing this system. I'm NOT computer savoy and neither is my husband! We purchased the 16 camera 4K system to replace an older system we had for our business. Let me say, watching the You Tube videos a bunch of times made the process very easy! The set up was pretty simple, but I suggest watching the video's for me at least it helped tremendously! We just replaced the camera's we had so we had all the wiring in place, so that cut a lot of time off the installation. I would recommend buying this system!

This is a great system!!! Outstanding value for money. (I’d give it 5 stars if it had two way voice and alarm)

Super easy to install. Very sharp picture even at night.

Defender 4K are very nice cameras. Very easy to set up. Very clear picture. I ran mine to a tv and it works great with the app. Playback, zoom, and all other features are really nice.

I would recommend these cameras they crystal clear pictures

Its a great product, not vision is excellent, picture quality is good in hd but lags if you have slow internet speed, otherwise a great buy.

Easy to set up. Great tech support if you need it. Get notifications or access through the Defender app from anywhere. Mines been up for several months no issues and I love it

As the title implies, the Defender Security System hardware is really great. The 4k picture quality can't be beat and the system is relatively easy to setup. However, the limitation on monitoring the system is a deal breaker. Monitoring the system from a cell phone is easily configured, but the image size is really too small to be of any value. The fact that there is NO application available to remotely monitor the system with a PC really stinks. The system can be monitored locally, ie same network segment, using the embedded DVR app but NO remote. Recommendation to Defender---FIX THIS.

Good directions if you have a least a little tech knowledge.

I installed Defender CCTV DVR in many place of my friends and families. It’s great results but in video I found one issue like movement vision is not good steady results are good. Example a person or car movement stretched not like Poe or nvr. Only this issue should be solved. Thanking you

Still learning how to navigate through the settings....previously had Swann wifi system, but the wifi kept cutting out. Miss the sound option. Defender 4k should have had audio. Wish the continuous stream showed "red" events on the playback timeline - overall the video quality is great, and like the fact that you can zoom into the images. Good value for the buck!!

The Defender camera system is a sophisticated security camera system which comes with a highly configurable application to set up and control the behavior of the cameras. The 4K video is excellent and has a viewing coverage that is very good. The motion detection is configurable and the notifications, which may be sent via SMS (text) and or email, are generated very quickly. The only improvement I can suggest is that the motion detection can be less sensitive to shadows of trees blowing in the breeze or insects flying by the cameras. There is a sensitivity adjustment and you can adjust the size of the motion detection area, but these false positives can't be eliminated with the current software.

I just upgraded my security system to this defender 4k system. And I am amazed by the quality defender. I'll never from another company again. Love it

Great system and easy to install. We have installed these for mamy clients

Ordered on a Thursday arrived on Friday system was just plug in and play very simple the App took 1 minute to download and start using after scanning barcode . The picture quality is amazing and very clear the night vision is good you can make out enough to identify people. The view when hooked up to our 4k TV is incredible I would highly recommend this product for home or business security. You cant beat the price for the quality you receive.

Found very easy to install, easy app, the cameras are beautiful, I would prefer metal, but this is a personal matter. Quality of the pictures on the phone is good but on a monitor is excellent. I recommend.

2 issues DVR noisy, icons and control bar super small. Cameras great!

Cameras are good, but your Android app needs work, cannot view 1x7 mode and my app keeps timing out and I have to keep reconnecting about every 10 min. As well, there is no more windows support for viewing the live feed, bad move, this was a great way to view my cameras remotely for those of us that don't have a tablet. Also used to be able to save the playback videos directly on my PC, now I have to access the dvr directly, which is not so easy as it is in a locked cabinet in my basement.

Just installed a set, easy to set up and great quality of the images. Note that works 100% in hard connections. 70% on the app. I am very satisfied and recommend.

the first purchase was so good I bought another setup for my other property. Very easy setup and a very nice price.
