CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)

Q: Do the cameras need to be plugged in also or does the cable running from the DVR carry the power?

A: Great question Jess. The cables running from the DVR carry power, each end of the cable is split into power and video connections.

Q: Are the cameras recording in color or in black and white?

A: Thank you for your question! The cameras record in colour during daylight. In the dark, infrared nightvision engages in black and white. The black and white in the product description refers to color of the camera casing.

Q: Can the system be set up to notify on a cell phone via text message for live viewing? And will it notify which camera sensor is triggered?

A: Thank you for your question! Our free Defender HD mobile app offers push notification functionality to alert you when motion events occur.

Q: Would I be better off getting wireless or am I going to lose clarity and be open for hacking? How do I know which smart phone is compatible for alert and monitor?

A: Thank you for asking this Cap. Wireless or wired will depend entirely on how you need to set up your system. Both types of HD cameras can record in 1080p resolution, and the wireless cameras are completely secure. In terms of the phone you would use for remote viewing and alerts, you would need either an Android or iPhone smartphone.

Q: What cables are included how long ect. What is not included?

A: Thank you for your question! Each camera includes 60ft of cable. If extensions are needed they are manufactured in 60ft and 120ft lengths.

Q: What framerate do the cameras record at when running at 1920x1080 resolution? Do the camera's have mics to listen in on audio? Can I disable motion detection per camera? Is the 1TB drive able to be swapped with say a 5 or 6TB drive on my own?

A: Thank you for your question! The DVR can record 8 channels at 15FPS while set to 1080P. The cameras do not have microphones, though the DVR does have 4x audio inputs where you can install third party RCA microphones. If you do want to switch the hard drive, it will support up to 8TB but we at Defender cannot support this modification.

Q: Where are Defender products manufactured?

A: Thank you for your question tac70. Our products are designed in Canada, manufactured in Asia.

Q: Can I back up the recordings to an external hard drive before it is automatically deleted?

A: Thank you for your question Dwright. Using a USB drive up to 32GB you can back up portions of footage through the backup tab on your DVR recording menu.
