This camera system is exactly what I was looking for. No WI-FI needed. It was a little tricky get all the electric run to each camera but it's nice not to have to worry about batteries. The cameras have decent video quality and the screen is nice too. The camera system is easy to use to set up alerts, recording and viewing recordings. One camera is out in the open so it gets rain and snow and so far hasn't had any issues. There is no option for viewing the video feed from an app or any apart from the included screen but I knew that going into it. It's a completely closed system which is what I wanted. I'm happy with the system so far. Would definitely recommend.

Easy setup and simple to operate. Really impressed with resolution. Touch screen is ten inches and a game changer.

I have had the Defender system with four cameras for about three months. Below are some observations / experiences:• The cameras can be turned on/off individually.• Night vision can be turned on/off individually.• The night vision is good and bright. Looks like light snow when it is foggy out.• Motion detection works best when moving across the camera’s field of view rather than directly at the camera.• Videos are stored on a microchip. Each 15 second video is two or three megabytes.• The microchip can be removed and inserted into your home personal computer for viewing and file saving.• The videos are a bit “herky-jerky” on the Defender display – a little less so when viewed on your personal computer.• Video clips are stored by date/time on a calendar type display for easy retrieval.• An icon appears on the screen when videos are available for viewing.• All four cameras can be displayed at one time, or one camera can be selected for display. Also, the display can be set to scroll through the various cameras.• The display can be set to sleep mode, just like a personal computer. While in sleep mode, if a camera detects motion, the display will be activated for the duration of motion on that camera. Then it will return to sleep mode.• In an online chat, the vendor stated that the cameras are rated for 104°F to 32°F. Where I live, the temperatures can drop way below that. So far this winter, the coldest temperature has been 8°F. The cameras were still working at that temperature.

The cameras are much lighter than their other cameras but great picture. I love wifi is not needed you can choose 24/7 recording or motion. The only reason they didn't get 5 stars is because there is no way to check in/view from your phone. Then again I also know that is another reason why I don't worry that thieves can tamper with the signal and block recordings

My ACS cameras were about 8 years old and they finally died. This new Phoenix Defender system is amazing compared to the old junk I just threw away. You need electrical plugs for the cameras!!! This new system has a touch screen that is incredibly responsive. The software was designed by a person who actually uses the product. There are 4 buttons on top that work perfectly. My only regret is I got the 2 cameras instead of the 4. Be warned: Amazon DOES NOT sell the additional 2 add-on cameras. NO SITE ON THE INTERNET SELLS ADD-ON CAMERAS. I'd recommend getting the 4-camera system since it works so good. It looks to me like the Phoenix Defender is the OLD system. The new system is called the Phoenix M2. That's too bad since the Phoenix M2 is a 7" screen and this 10” screen is bright and works perfectly. Too bad you can't buy add-on cameras since now I'm stuck with the 2-camera system.

These work alot better than the telus cameras. The audio they can pick up is absolutely unreal. The picture is clear and the set up couldnt be easier. Literally just plug them in and they work. The only reason its not a 5 star is the setting that lets you block out certain areas of the camera doesnt work very well, for instance one of mine points to my front driveway and it picks up almost every car that drives by. If i set it to block out the street sometimes it wont work. So i just leave that setting off.

I have two of the first generations of this model, and then just recently purchased this updated version and installed it at my workplace. The touchscreen is phenomenal and a huge improvement. The picture quality is stellar, and installation is easy: simply plug it in and turn it on. The equipment is well-made and high-quality. I’m thinking I’ll purchase two more systems for other offices in the building. Highly recommended.

This large screen setup is just what I wanted. No internet needed. Cameras powered by plug & not battery reliant. Simple plug & play. There’s more features than I actually need. Wish it had 1080p resolution ,but it’s def not a deal breaker. I use this at my cabin in the mountains to view the property in real time. Night vision works great too.
