QuestionIs there a way to turn off the speaker? Also, could it possibly transmit to a neighbors baby monitor or walkie talkie. Would really like to disable it. The whole speaker thing makes me feel like the neighbours are listening in.
Asked 6 years ago by Michelle.
- Answer Michelle, thanks for the question. The only way would be to turn the volume down on the monitor. The cameras transmit on their own private network that is encrypted so there is no way that it would be overheard on another device Defender Support

QuestionWhen it's on night vision mode, I can't see the person's face. The face is washed out by the light but the body is clear. When my flood lights are on or off, I still can't see the person's face clearly. How do I change the setting so I can see the face?

QuestionCamera range extender antenna for the defender m2 or the camera
Asked 6 years ago by Matt.
- Answer Hello Matt. Thank you for contacting Defender! While we do not offer an alternate antenna, one option that may work is to extend the antenna with a Teflon cable with 50 Ohm impedance. It is an SMA connection that would be needed. Please note that this is not a supported modification and while having no effect on warranty coverage, we are unable to provide assistance in regards to the change.

QuestionHow to turn off L E D lights on the Phoenix 2 Defender.
Asked 7 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Great Question! There is not an option to turn off the red LED lights as these are the infrared lights used for night vision. Providing your cameras are mounted at a distance out of reach, these lights may also act as a prevention tool to deter those considering theft or damaging your property. Thank you for joining the Defender Family!

QuestionWe recently purchased (June 2018) the Phoenix M2 and at first it worked great. However now when it is turned on it works for a few minutes and then goes out of range and stays out of range. If we unplug and plug back in camera works for a while.

Asked 7 years ago by Marley.
- Answer Hi Marley, thank you for your inquiry I am sorry to see that you are having a signal issue with your PhoenixM2 system. As this is a wireless system it is susceptible to interference from outside sources. This can be fixed by repairing the cameras to the monitor by following the steps in the manual!
