Defender SN-500-4CH-002 Security System Review
Are you looking
for a plug and play, easy to set up, inexpensive home surveillance
system? If so, it will serve you well to take a look at the Defender SN
500 Security System. This system meets all of the categories above and
will give you a reliable video recordings and more importantly, peace of
mind in knowing that your property is secure.
Sets Up With Ease
Most
consumers unpacking this home surveillance system will have the video
up and running in 15-30 minutes. The directions are clearly written for
the Defender SN-500 and in short order you will have it running. Once
you set it up, you'll be able to do it again in 5 minutes. It easy, as
long as you follow the directions. Placing the cameras in the locations
you choose will be a bit more labor intensive, as you might imagine.
Once
you choose the appropriate locations for your 4 cameras, you might want
to ask for help in focusing the camera on the exact spot you desire.
Having someone spot for you as you adjust the angle will save you lots
of time and energy. Once you have the camera set, use a drop or two of
lock tight on the clamp so the camera doesn't move over time. If you
choose these locations carefully, visitors to your house will never
notice that you have surveillance cameras running.
These cameras
are not waterproof, so mounting them inside is going to be a necessity.
If you have to run wires outside for some reason, be sure to run them
through some conduit so they are not accidentally cut or damaged.
The
video quality from this Defender home surveillance system is very good.
Since more crimes are solved with pictures then over audible alarms,
this is an important feature. From about 20 feet out the picture gets a
little fuzzy, but overall the clarity is good enough to be used as
evidence. For many consumers looking for a system, this is certainly an
important concern.
One of the best features of this system is the
ability to stream a video of your house to your iPhone or smart phone in
real time. It can also send a still photograph notification to you if
one of the cameras is activated by one of the motion sensors. The night
vision is pretty good, it is somewhat better if the area is slightly
illuminated.
The Defender system will give you up to 100 days of
recording. Set on the 24/7, low quality setting you will get that amount
of time. Otherwise, you can use another setting,but will have to
rewrite sooner. The recommended setting is however, quite good in most
situations. Once you set up, I do recommend that you view the video to
be sure. Another fine quality is the fast forward feature by which you
can view the recordings quickly if you need to search for an event.
