Defender SENTINEL3 Web-Ready 16-Channel DVR Security System Digital Video Recorder with Hi-Res Night Vision Surveillance Cameras and 8.5-Inch LCD Review
This is a great DIY system and well packaged for a system to monitor movement and allow surveillance for a remote location through the DNS server feature. The I/B was a little hard to follow but after I had the cameras installed and on-line, things just fell into place. Some things are harder to describe, yet are simple tasks.
I had one problem with the mounting thumb screws. They are cast alum and the threads are stamped. I had to use a 10/32 tap to chase the threads in the mounting brackets and purchase steel thumbscrews from Home depot to complete the mounting. I also ordered the extension cables and had a problem with one of the connectors. The metal ferrule on the camera connector came loose inside of the power cable and the extension cable would not fit. I contacted customer service and they were able to indentify the problem and correct it. It was a tight fit and I was able to just remove it and re-fit back to the female connector. Customer Service is also sending my some new mounting thumbscrews.
The Spartan 1 cameras are 420 TV lines of resolution and have 12 LEDs. They work really well at night up to 15 feet. The definition is on the low end. I have ordered a higher resolution camera for one location that requires more resolution.
The DVR is set up for 16 channels and comes with 8 Spartan 1 cameras. The system can be expanded however; the DVR will not control a variable focus camera without a separate power supply. The DNS set-up to view the DVR on line is well explained and easy to set up. I am very pleased with the Defender and it was priced very competitive when pricing individual components.
