Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Defender PHOENIX1 Wireless Video Security System with Portable LCD Monitor and Indoor/Outdoor Night Vision Surveillance Camera (Black)
Customer Review: OK, but camera fogs up at times
Summary: 3 Stars
I've had this for about a month now. Setup was easy enough and worked great at first. Now we just started the Winter season, with rain that turns to snow and then back to rain again. The camera got foggy a few times. I unpluged the camara for about a half hour and it seemed to help clear it up...but have to do this every once in a while. So be aware the weather does seem to effect the camera. I'm going to keep this unit, because I can put up with the short falls of it. I use it to view my driveway from my living room, so I can see any vistors arriving before the doorbell rings. I would recommend this to others, but want them to know the camara is effected by wet weather. Thank youCustomer Review: Poor Reception

When I ordered this, I ordered it because of the good reviews. My wife and I were planning on using it for a baby monitor. We live in a 2 story older house. Not very big, but our daughters room is on the second floor. When the monitor is in the same room it was awesome. Very clear crisp picture and radiant color. However, once we moved more than 3 feet out of the room, the sound quality was very staticy and garbled and the video would come and go quality wise. The video was very unreliable and the static made it even harder to hear in the room. I wouldn't suggest this product to anyone for monitoring purposes. I think the product would be great in a wired circuit security function, but not wireless. Customer Review: Better than I expected

We bought this product because we have a solid steel door with no peep hole so we couldn't see outside. It works better than I expected when I bought it. We can almost walk around our entire house with it outside. We get some static in the back bedroom but that's not a big deal. The sound is really good and I like the fact that you can adjust the sensitivity. I would definitely recommend this product.Customer Review: Excellent baby monitor

I am reviewing this as a baby video monitor - the price point is just higher than the junk you can buy at any "Babies" store and this blows those away. Range is fine - I can ride the mower and see upstairs. We have used this for 10 months every night and it is still working fine. The second camera is useful when traveling as we can clip it anywhere (we bought digital camera clip from Wolf Camera). This is the best "baby" purchase so far. If you are trying to use this as a security camera and are unsatisfied, invest in a real security system. Customer Review: Solves the problem, but limited range on wireless

We have a beautiful custom iron front door that doesn't lend itself to a peephole so this device is ideal. Works fine but as some others have mentioned range is quite limited. Static starts to crop up once we're more than about 15' from the front door - unfortunately this eliminates any ideas of bringing it to the backyard with us. We are using it in a suburban neighborhood that has about 50' between homes - so not sure that the interference theory mentioned elsewhere is the issue. Range aside it does do the job fine - the screen and colors are plenty clear to recognize who is at the door. I really like that it has a charging base to set it on. My only other (minor) complaint is that it's not totally clear when the motion/sound sensing beeps are on or off, and car noise from a car driving by will cause it to beep if on.
