 Excellent system, recommend it June 9, 2010

Excellent system. We bought this system and installed 6 of the 8 included cameras in under 4 hours. The hardware included is easy to install and understand. Cameras are plug and play! Installed all the wires to the DVR and plugged it in. Images are perfect during the day and excellent at night. The software includes a remote and mouse for easy, very easy programming of the system. I would recommed this system to anyone looking to save money and DIY. For the money, this system is well worth it compared to 3000.00 for high end equipment I was looking at. So far we're happy, still need to program the system which may take some time.
The bad: One of the ball and joint mount can't be tightened up-must be defective but I'll call for replacement. No other issues
Excellent ! August 3, 2010

I waited about 2 months to write this review so I can give a bit more thought to it. No worries it will not be lengthy, but rather to the point.
Purchased this for a mobile audio business to watch over the shop and surrounding area, but with the cost in mind. The Defender SN301 fit the bill perfectly !
After literally weeks of searching for the 'right' one to get, browsing many stores as well as Amazon I came to this one. Granted though, I still tried to find
more for my money, simply put, there was nothing. Comparable ? Perhaps, but nothing else stood out to be a better purchase. Combined with Amazons price and quick shipping (Prime member)
it was a no brainer.
Pros:
8 Channels
Large DVR
Very easy to use web interface
Clear viewing in low light.
Cons:
None really of significance, but figured I would still mention for those wondering.
No 'real' zoom. However for the price it should not be expected, really, it shouldn't.
The zoom that it does have is digital and just single - zoom or not. When zoomed
the image appears pixelated and difficult to view. Otherwise quite clear when not using zoom.
Again, must mention this was not an expectation I had, but wanted to mention for anyone wondering.
The Blackberry access .. it is simply that - access via your browser. Not an 'app', but just logging onto
the site to browse your cameras. Not a big deal at all !
So in summary, would I recommend ? Absolutely.
I did have one problem when installing. The cameras use two power cables at the DVR that are pigtailed into
four 'outlets' if you will. In other words two sockets on the back of the DVR power 8 cameras, 4 per socket.
One of the pigtail harnesses was bad out the box. Odd, but true ! All cameras worked flawlessly, but without that
second pigtail you can only connect a maximum of 5 cameras - 4 on the pigtail and one direct. I contacted Defender ..
Minimal hold time ( a couple minutes maybe) and I was told they would send a new one out right away. All that was required was a proof
of purchase ( from Amazon is fine). Unfortunately I never got around to this yet, but so far I will give their customer service
a huge thumbs up !
Works great. August 30, 2010

I had been researching surveillance systems for 9 months before purchasing this model. Setup of the system was very easy, obviously where you decide to install the the cameras can make the install more difficult. It took a couple of hours once the system was networked to get it on my PCs and on our iPhones. Its great being able to check on the property from anywhere. The cameras have made it through a couple of severe windstorms and haven't moved at all. I'd recommend installing them under eves when possible. The system has been running for two months with no issues at all. I'd highly recommend upgrading to the 8 camera system, over the 4. It cost a little more money but I'm glad I did.

This system is highly recommended...DVR is awesome, and so is the camera picture quality. Definitely worth buying.

This is my second 8-camera Sentinel Defender system that I have purchased. This unit is much improved over their older model. Cameras are good resolution, recording time is great, setup is very easy, installation in a drop-ceiling environment is no problem. The only complaint I have is the remote control is IR instead of RF, so it only works from certain angles. The built-in configuration menus are a little hard to get used to, but all the features I need are there. I would definitely recommend this system!
