Defender PhoenixM2 4-Channel, 2-Camera Wireless Security System: Defend the premises of your home or office with this Defender security monitor with two night vision cameras. The DVR setup lets you play back your video, keeping track of occurrences as they happen. The night vision capabilities of this Defender security system ensures visibility from up to 40 feet away.
Q: Can this system be used with your home wifi?
A: This is a great question Skelter, it cannot be connected to Wi-Fi for online viewing, it uses it's own proprietary wireless technology for a secure connection between the monitor and cameras.
A: The camera system isn't wireless. I thought it would be free of cords also when I purchased this surveillance system, but the wires make it obvious that you have surveillance. It pretty much has to be close to an outlet in order to work and the monitor has to be plugged in to work.
Q: What size is the monitor and can I get a larger monitor for this unit
A: Thank you for your interest in Defender Jay! The PhoenixM2 includes a 7 inch monitor which pairs directly with the cameras. There is no video output to connect it to a larger monitor, but you can watch your recorded footage on any device with an SD card reader!
Q: Can I get a second camera ?
A: Thanks for a great question Moto. PhoenixM2 can support a total of 4 cameras, the model number will need to be PhoenixM2C to work with this monitor.
A: Thank you for your questions! I will answer your questions in the order you asked them: 1. Optimum transmission range is 150' with line of sight 2. Signal strength is dependent on a number of factors including materials, range, obstacles. 3. The cameras and monitor use their own encrypted wireless signal, wifi is not required. 4. The cameras are rated IP54, if installed outside it is recommended they are well sheltered from weather and the power adapter is located indoors as limited penetration of water is possible.
A: Great question Dee. The monitor accepts SD cards up to 128 GB. To upgrade storage, you would need to purchase a larger capacity SD card. These can be purchased anywhere that sells electronics and camera accessories. If your SD card is full, the oldest footage will be recorded over.
A: yes you can although the pictures are quite small.
Q: Good Day, Can a doorbell camera be added to the monitor ? Thx,
A: Thank you for your questions, Cyote! The PhoenixM2 is not compatible with other third party products. Thank you for your interest in Defender! Melissa C. | Defender Customer Experience Expert
