Good buy for the money
The cameras work great and are easily adjustable . They perform exactly as described . The zoom could be clearer in picture but for the most part they are a great protection addition.

      A real let down
      This is the system I am looking for with no wifi required but the cameras are not very clear and the monitor does not work properly with motion sensing and recording.

      Easy to pair and very easy to install. Didn't have a plug at my back door so hooked it to a heavy duty extension cord and ran it under the house and plug in with the one for the front of the house.

        Good System
        Better than Night Owl which I tried first. Monitor is a little small but one can look at individual cameras for a bigger picture. Works better at night than Night Owl cameras. Overall pretty easy to set up and use.

            We are extremely pleased with this security system! It was easy to install, especially since we are not technologically savvy. The cameras wirelessly connect to the monitor with no wi-fi or iPhone app connection. I have been looking for SO long for this great product! Don't hesitate to buy it!

              Cameras are working great and I am pleased with the product. I thought the SD Micro memory card was missing from the purchase but I was mistaken. I found it in the box. Customer Service was very responsive and got back to me immediately. I am very pleased with the product and Customer Service.

                I don't know yet. I bought this because I had two cameras from my previous purchase. The DVR/monitor didn't last a year. I'm just hoping it was just a bad unit, I'd hate to get taken twice.

                Very nearly the perfect answer to our needs
                Pros: Clear images, fast and easy set-up, long cord on each camera Con: Image cannot be inverted, so camera must be attached above the mounting - complicates installing under overhanging eaves.

                service
                I first ordered a camera system that was left at the door by the delivery company and was stolen... Defender quickly took the case and has resolved it providing an excellent support and updates of the situation. I ordered a second PhoenixM2 system, I'm using it and I must say it works perfectly! I'm very happy with the simplicity of it. It's a product I do not hesitate to recommend, for his quality and support.
