I purchased this system with the hope that it would replace the Defender Phoenix M2 system I have. I have an unusual use for the system, I have it set-up in my shed to monitor the coming and going of a few stray cats that I feed and shelter. I was having problems with the Defender system always being "Out of Range" after a few months, and the issue was mainly with the Monitor. After setting up the Cobra system, I found out that it would not detect small animals, so I contacted Cobra and was told that it was mainly for detecting people and cars, unlike my Defender system which will detect anything that comes into it's range. I gave the Cobra system 3 stars because it seams to be a good system. It has a good day and night image. I like the onscreen touch control, and it has just about everything my Defender system has. I'm keeping the Cobra system because the 4 channel Monitor works with my Defender 4 channel camera which has an even better image both day and night than the Cobra, and the camera detects small animals. Hopefully, the Cobra Monitor will hold up, only time will tell.Read full review

The pros: 1) It's easy to set up. The cameras are already paired. 2) It takes a full size SD card which gives maximum compatibility and it won't get lost easily like TF or MicroSD. I chose a Samsung Endurance card because it has a 5 year full warranty, but they only go up to 128GB. 3) I think it uses motion JPEG, but the quality is decent unlike some others where the JPEG compression is turned up to maximum. With today's cheap memory it's not a big issue. 4) Has a wired Ethernet connection for Internet access. Has Android / iOS remote viewing. 5) The year on the clock goes up to 2064, unlike 2038 on many other cameras. The bad part is this device lacks a lot of features. 1) High write endurance memory cards for continuous write applications are smaller or have much shorter warranties. There is no USB port for an external hard drive. 2) It's on 2.4GHz which is quite congested and there is no information about what part of that frequency bad it uses. 3) There is no battery backup in the monitor. Unplugging power resets the clock, so any scheduled recording will get messed up. If it's plugged in through Ethernet to the Internet it can set its clock with a time server. I don't think there's a way to specify what time server it uses. It has an unused USB mini B connection on it, maybe that could be a backup power source. 4) Mobile only - No PC computer or standard way of remotely viewing the video. 5) The scheduled recording is confusing. You have to add the entire day as a record day and then "delete" portions from it if you want to record at night but stop during the day. 6) There is no masking area or exclusion area from the motion detection. 7) There is no way to adjust the quality or lower the frame rate. The amount of storage used with both cameras in HD is quite high. 8) The zoom button on the monitor says that it can't be used in HD mode, which is when it would be the most useful. A $40 wireless IP camera tends to have a lot more features like real h264 recording, more usable remote monitoring, email alerts, optional local MicroSD card storage, works with a computer DVR, and will work with an existing 802.11 wireless network instead of possibly interfering with it.Read full review

Easy to set up, has a good user manual and cameras are decent. The monitor works great too. I only wish it was bigger. Smartphone alerts are great and so is the motion recording. Within two days of installation I was alerted by my smartphone while at work, that my next door neighbor was in my driveway snooping around my garage. As soon as I see her again, I'm going to confront her about this. This system, though not the best, to me is well worth the price. Inexpensive, visual peace of mind that accents my alarm system.

cameras work good & clear monitor too small especially if using 4 cameras , joy stick hard to get to function smoothly, for the price range its good, to add cameras is too expensive. for my use it is ok.
