Excellent Security Camera System to protect your home. I have been a long time Defender systems user and love them. These model specifically has wide angle cameras and great night vision capabilities. the sensors work great and picks up movements immediately. If you are using for inside the home, i would recommend to turn off the lights for night vision. Access from app works nice and very quick/easy to setup. Audio feed, although works only from one camera at a time, is a good feature to have.

Delivery was on time and nicely packaged.. I have not installed the units yet as I am still taking down my exciting security system, The only issue I would change is the massive weather guards that is on each camera input wire, when installing them on a wall or bulkhead you are forced to drill a 3/4" or larger hole just to get the wire through.. This is a major hole and takes a good sized drill leaving wall damage. The only option is having every camera using a junction box which is clumsy.

System was pretty easy to install and works well. Like having a powered system. Package was complete which was nice. Wish you had better quality screws or perhaps change to hex screws for camera angle setting. Found that the current phillips screws are soft and strip pretty easily.

The Sentinel 4K Bundle has all the features that I wanted in a video security system. No ongoing fees, no batteries to ever change, 4K video resolution, and simple to set up and operate. My total installed cost was about 20% of the cost of a similar "professionally" provided and installed system. I have already recommended it to a neighbour, who proceeded with his own purchase of a system.

Love the features and the ease of the cameras and setup. I do wish the video was a little clearer at 30 feet off the road and was hoping I would be able to catch a license plate number. I do like the fact that the cameras work just on a twisted pair of cat5 cable.

Good system. Easy to install. We enjoy the wide view. Can see a lot more than expected. Only issue is that we get alerts that they are picking up human body but when you look, it's nothing. We tried turning sensitivity down but it didn't help. So we get a lot of notifications for nothing. And it's the same spot over and over. Maybe it's a ghost? Lol otherwise we are happy with it all.

This is actually an upgrade for me so I think I would appreciate this more, but I definitely love the wired cameras better. The quality in video is also a noticeable improvement and now that I can monitor from the DVR and not from the app, it’s more streamlined and not put together clunky to get the outcome I wanted which I now have. The quality of the cameras is also an improvement. You can feel how robust these cameras are compared to the previous wife ones I had. I did have one that had an issue with water intrusion which distorted the image, BUT I can tell this was a one off situation because these really are better in quality. So much that even with water inside the camera, distorting the image, it never shorted out and it still ran, so that also makes me think this is a one off situation. Also, Defender was quick and professional about making sure I got a replacement camera with ZERO headache. Lastly, the DVR seems a little flimsy and the software running on it is also very rough, but it’s in perfect working order. My only concern is “Time”. How will this DVR hold up by this time two years from now? Overall though, I think this is a great deal for the price point and would certainly recommend as a legacy customer.

After a lot of research I chose to install the Defender Sentinal system. I was excited to buy from a Canadian company. This system checked all my boxes including non of the gimmicky features like flashing lights and sirens. Overall quality seems to be what it should be for the price. Installation is only as difficult if you want it. Set up was relatively simple. Picture quality is great in daytime and acceptable at night using the IR feature. The layout of the NVR systems OS could be refined but overall it works. Improvments in the app would be beneficial but again it does its job. I installed this system about a month ago and would definitely buy again.

The system could have came with better quality Ethernet cables like cat 6. Also I would have loved to known that the nvr needs to be within 30ft from internet modem before I set all the cameras and wires up 95ft away from my internet modem. The last thing i don't care for is video playback is rather complicated. There is only pause and fast forward, no rewind to go back in case you want to watch something over again and you cannot zoom in on playback footage. The instruction manual is rather lacking in a lot of details. Very informative on setting it up with you phone, everything else isn't. However, the picture quality is absolutely amazing

Love it but.... The set up was simple. The quality so far, so good. The human detection is meh. It keeps telling me every 15 minutes the same tree is a human. Or the bucket in my yard is a human. Trying to figure out the human setting. I wish the scheduling was easier too. Not intuitive. I hope I can figure it out. Follow the YouTube on how to share access. It's wonky. But it works if you follow the video's guidance.
