    I’m glad I purchased this Camera. This was a replacement of an older camera from Defender. The color is great, and the night vision is good. Looking forward to purchasing more Cameras from Defender.

    Video recording and display screen are fine, except the capture angle / view is very narrow. Comparing with Arlo, you will need three camera 's of Defender vs two camera's of Arlo to do the same job.

    Camera has great definition and the install was easy. Gives you the option to view one camera or both at the same time. For the price it's a good quality camera.

    Camera works awesome. Picture and sound is good. It picks up any amount of sound. Wanted something simple that works as a stand alone thing, without having to be hooked up to the internet, apps and what not. Good purchase exactly what I was looking to get. Be nice to get a 2nd camera for the intercom function alone. It can do 4 of them if you want to. So yeah, I'd definitely recommend it.

    I absolutely love this camera system. We have several Defender wifi cameras that are also amazing, but these cameras are our main entrance cameras. The wifi in our area goes out often, and these defender cameras have their own monitor that we can look at, pause, rewind, fast forward....the sd card holds about 6 days worth of constant rollover recordings. The night vision could be a little better, but the daytime view is perfect.

    I love this system. Quick and easy set-up right out of the box. I have yet to lose signal once even, and I live in a 3000 square foot home! Definitely worth it and at a good price.

    Great purchase my only issue is it was my understanding that I could add more cameras later. Now I find out I cant purchase the same cameras without buying another monitor and I dont need a second monitor.
