Customer Reviews for Defender Ultra HD 4K (8MP) 8 Channel 2TB DVR Wired Security Camera System with Remote Viewing and 7 Cameras

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This security system is amazing. Set up and installation was quick and easy. It is very easy to use hooked up to a TV. It also comes with everything needed to get it installed and running, aside from tools of course. The overall picture is great day or night, and I love that it is wide view so you just need one camera to see more. Connecting the app was also simple with the walk through instructions. This is definitely a high quality, well made security system. I would definitely recommend it. I love knowing my family and house is secure and can be easily monitored.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the camera system! My husband mounted them up but has them turned the wrong way so he will going back to fix those! The image quality is amazing. Even when you zoom in, it still looks good. We used a monitor to hook these up to. The setup was extremely easily. Everything is pretty self explanatory. We would definitely recommend this to anyone needing security cameras.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this system after our neighbor had packages stole right at their front door!! The cameras picture is very high quality. The cameras by there self will scare most away but if not we will have plenty of awesome pics and video.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This system is absolutely great. It has everything you need to monitor your home. You have four cameras that provide beautiful color 4K pictures, and they are weather resistant. It has a DVR to save your video footage for review. You can also check remotely from an app on your phone. I was really impressed that an HDMI cable was included so that I could hook the system right up to my TV to view. There is no monthly cost for monitoring and I see no need for a contract security service. There is even a window decal to announce that your home is protected. I highly recommend this complete, affordable system for everyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Defender 4K (8MP) Wired Security System with 4 Cameras is truly a great product. It has so many great features. It comes with everything you need, and you don't have to pay for any monitoring, just download the free app. for it. The 4 cameras are light and adjustable, and small. It provides up to 4k resolution. 8MP for recording speed. It also provides infrared LED for night vision up to 100 feet. The security system also comes with the DVR and it's thin, so no bulk at all. You also have remote viewing from your phone. Weather resistant also. Picture quality is also great It took us about 3 hours to get everything going, that's including getting the free app installed too. We live on a rural area, so since we've been using this security system, we feel so much safer inside of our home, and also when we leave.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband has a lot of expensive toys that need protecting so this security system is great! Easy install....love the alerts you can get straight to your phone which comes with a warning text as soon as motion is detected by the cameras. Straightforward directions for set up with mobile phone use. The equipment is very durable and should last us for years to come. My husband likes the extra security since we have three precious teenage daughters

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a valuable security system. It comes with 8 cameras. Cable for each camera is roughly 50 ft. in length. Since it is a wired system, even before it arrived, we expected that setting up will involve more work than a wireless system. But the instruction is very clear with color-coded cables; the most important thing is that you need to decide where you want to put the DVR and how you are going to run the cables. I see that a lot of people running cables from attic, but we are lucky that we have a deck with unfinished roof, so we ran the cables under the roof and in the near future, we will finish the roof and nobody will see our cables. It took us 2 afternoons after work (about 2 hours each day) to get 5 cameras running. The quality of the pictures is unreal. I am super satisfied with this aspect. You can also download free app and get notifications on your cell phone. There are many options with this system; you can record continuously or just record when there is motion. You can have different combination of camera display at a time on the screen. So many different options to explore and take advantage of. Night visions are clear in black and white. It is so amazing how technology is so improved and shown in this system. The only thing I wish was different was that I wish cables come in different length. A couple of my cameras need only about 30 ft length, while if there were a couple cables that came in a length of 70 or 80 ft, that would be so much more convenient, especially for a set of this size. We are still installing the rest of the cameras and are looking to see if we can purchase longer cables for these, because they are going to have to go around the house to the garages in the back. Overall, this is the best security system you can have. Setting up takes some work, but it is expected with a wired system. And in compensation, you get an outstanding quality of records and pictures. I highly recommend this system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Digital wireless technology allows you to reach those hard to reach areas like the garage, shed or parking lot Featuring ClearVu Smart Signal, an adaptive technology that uses FHSS technology to minimize signal interference and provide an uninterrupted viewing experience without disrupting your Wi-Fi network Remotely live stream, access recorded footage with Defender’s free app. Operating Temperature: -30°C to +55°C / -22°F to +131°F Less than 95%RH Flexible recording options allow you to monitor continuously, enable motion detection or tailor a schedule to fit your lifestyle Four 1080p wide angle, night vision cameras made of an ultra-lightweight polycarbonate vandal resistant housing and IP65 rated for weather resistance. The night Vision is very good which I thought wouldn't be. I also like the extra security when I'm away, right on my phone with the app. I just recently moved into a new house and don't know anything about the people or neighborhood so this gives me a great piece of mind. At first with all the wires, I thought it would be hard to install but it wasn't to bad at all. I would recommend to any one looking for security of your family and property.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Defender 4K (8MP) Wired Security System with 4 cameras only took a couple of hours to hook up. It records 24/7, you’ll need to buy a USB flash drive. The pictures are clear on the t.v and the app, which is free on the google app store. You can also pick whether you want to record continuous or motion detection. The wires were easy to hide. I ran them along my baseboard and tacted the down. These cameras pick up all motion. They are very high quality. These really gives me peace of mind. I have a lot of packages delivered, and I do construction so there’s a ton of expensive tools in my garage. I highly recommend this product. I’ve tried other security systems and they don’t even compare.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband immediately unpacked the Defender 4K (8MP) Wired Security System With 8 Cameras as soon as it arrived. He said it was easy to setup and showed me how well it worked as soon as he was finished. We were both impressed by the quality of the video which can be viewed on a television or with the app on our cell phones. Unfortunately, these cameras all have to be mounted in place and wired directly to the DVR, but the system includes everything you need in order to do so. I believe this brand offers a wireless version as well, but I am unable to give an opinion on that. Overall, this is a high quality product to help monitor your home (or business). We are now able to check on our dogs while we’re away and feel confident that our house is protected.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Defender 4K (8MP) Wired Security System with 4 Cameras is simply outstanding. The video quality (resolution) is truly superb both on the monitor & phone. I feel much more secure having the data stored on site and available to access 24/7. Accessing the video stream on the phone is wonderfully quick as I've had other systems that had quite the lag time but this is nearly instantaneous. The manual is well laid out & easy to follow. 5 stars - very impressive system perfect for any office.

We bought this system and we can’t set the system on our app. We’ve tried many ways and apps and after a month is still unsuccessful. We’ve tried to reach out to the company but they have no phone number is all with an email. They closed our ticket and we have to start all over again!

The cameras are great and setup is not to complicated for the average user.

Good product color view at night

Huge upgrade from the 720p cameras we had but i dont belive they are 4K (12MP) as my other system Lorex 4MP ($750) look much better, still good quality for the price. Purchased them on sale for ($315).

Easy to install and works good

Everything good except, don’t have night vision

NVR broke in 4 months. Emails are now being ignored. Constant lies from Yvonne in customer service. You’ve been warned. This isn’t a security company, its a bunch of jokesters.

livraison en temps record, fonctionne parfaitement même si un peu complexe à faire la configuration

I was surprised how easy it was to install and I had the previous version for 6 or 7 years but this one was really easy thanks

This system keeps asking me for my password, every time I click the mouse. The night visioin is HORRIBLE. I'm getting about 12 foot. Its NOT user friendly, and I can not find how to play back on the inside screeen. Support is basically 0, unless you can talk to someone in Canada. The online support is useless.

I Purchase the defender 4 cameras 4k vision from home depot online the cams came via ups nice cameras with 2 bad camera i install them everything went well and easy until i turn the power on 2 cameras was not connected so i test the lines for power everything was good there went to my storage got 2 old cameras they work fine test ports everything i could do, So got online to call defender no phone number so i lift a email for support guest im playing the waiting game no will see how long it take for them to reply but otherr than that the system is top notch plus the app.

After installing cameras picture quality is really good and I like that I can view cameras on my phone and computer. I also like being able to zoom in on cameras.

My husband and I purchased defender's 16 channel camera system in December of 2022. Our system came when they said it would with everything meticulously packaged. My husband was able to install everything with ease by using the specifically detailed startup guide. We were given an update to install and we did have a little trouble installing it but, after emailing Defender, they were quick to get back to us and walk us through it with no problems. We like being able to view our cameras on our cell phones with the Defender Empower app. We think the quality of footage is very sharp and clear. We occasionally got a false alarm on our phones but I'm pretty sure that's because we are still learning about the system and probably need to adjust the sensitivity. If you go to settings in the DVR, you can customize your system to your specific wants. I am confident that we will be using this security system for years to come! We feel the price is spot on. We would definitely recommend this to family and friends!

Great product; easy installation. Highly recommended.

Pleasantly surprise with the very easy and responsive software. Picture is super clear. Very happy
