Had experienced thefts from a work truck and bought after researching using the price match option which provided a significant savings. Defender provided a detailed installation manual and had few problems. The ClearVu app is also great so I'm able to view while away without paying monthly fees. Cameras are extremely clear day or night with good range of view and was able to easily conceal around the home. Would definitely recommend or buy other products from them.

The cameras and DVR system work as expected. No issues with setup. The menus are basic, no frills, just what you need. I like that I can view the live feed and recordings from my phone, even with a wired system.
We had to contact customer service (not a reflection on the equipment) and they are top notch. I couldn't have asked for a better experience with a company's customer service.
I am very happy with these cameras and will not hesitate to purchase this brand again, if I ever need to.

Good Value - needs better startup instructions

The system is good. Easy to hook up, great quality video, but the quick start instructions are non-existent. You need to download the instruction manual and leaf through the 87 pages, to find out how to do basic stuff like how to set the current date and start recording. That could easily be put into a quick start guide. I went 3 weeks before I realized I had been recording, but it was stored under the default start date of 9/16/2015, which I guess was the date of the factory software load. Virtually impossible to try and find anything using that date as the starting point.

I like the ease of installing and set up but the software does not work with MAC and only works with IE. i guess thats not a huge thing but it would be nice if it works nicly with other things.
Cameras are sturdy made from metal and are big but that can be a deterrent if seen i guess.
the DVR software on the box its self is a little short in options again will not work on my MAC. some times when i bring up the cameras local i have to reboot the box to see them on the screen. I use the remote web service mostly but have to have the 1 step remote viewing software up all the time you can not simply put the IP in and open it that way. all in all it is a good system i just wish the software was better.

We just recently installed the cameras. A little hassle to install them but we are pretty amazed by them! I'll give more updates as we use the cameras longer.

The video quality is less than I expected. The biggest disappointment is that you cannot change the camera settings remotely.

I bought these some time ago and still haven't put them up yet. I can't speak to performance but the cameras are much bigger than you think they are. They will be noticeable hanging outside and if you planned to put one inside, you might consider a different product. I don't want this huge camera in my foyer.
