Defender's PHOENIX 301 System can be used to monitor and record video and audio in any indoor or outdoor space at any time of the day. The device comes equipped with Digital Wireless Technology that ensures there is no messy wiring involved when setting the system up. Built for indoor or outdoor use, the camera's durable aluminum housing resists rusting, deterioration and can weather any season. The attached sun shield helps prevent glare from the sun and other bright objects. The camera also has a built-in motion sensor to alert when motion is detected. This system can support a total of 4 cameras to monitor multiple offices, entrances and other outdoor areas. The compatible camera is Defender's PX301-C.
This wireless plug and play system allows for easy set up in a matter of minutes and the included 2GB SD card can record up to 350 minutes of continuous audio and video footage. The weather resistant cameras included with this system have 18 infrared LEDs that allow you to see up to 40ft away in the dark. The LEDs activate automatically when it gets dark, and deactivate during the day to save energy. This system includes a compact receiver that easily connects to any television in home or business using the included 6 feet A/V cable and experience the convenience of watching the live or recorded video on any screen size. It also features an option to set the system to sound an audible alert to notify whenever a motion is detected within the range. The recording system allows to record video footage using three different types of modes: manual, scheduled and motion activation. This system also comes equipped with an IR extension wire which allows the remote control to reach further and make the system even more user-friendly.
Some reviewers experienced that wireless connectivity range, does not match up to 450 feet as claimed by the manufacturer. It can manage a range of about 100 - 300 feet without any interference. A few reviewers also mentioned that the intercom or the two way audio feature fades or lags many times. Another problem mentioned by the reviewers is, it does not come with an option to zoom one camera at a time. The zoom option is applicable to ‘all or none’ which is a disappointment. Some minor problems that are applicable to all home security systems like image clarity, lesser range or wider angle are also seen in this system.
Overall, Defender's PX 301 System is ideal for monitoring entrances, backyards, valuables and employees, in any situation needed. This is a recommended system with perfect pricing for its perfect quality features backed with life time customer support facility.

10/14/20 do not remember when I bought this. I have only one question, why not add motion detection sensitivity adjustment.
The device would start too record when the wind sway leaves of trees afar. LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Thank you.
