These cameras and app were an overall big disappintment. The app glitches all the time showing random error codes. The cameras are always getting triggered for motion without anything happening. Also, there is no way to accurately adjust them. I'm just waiting to replace them with something better. I bought them through Costco which normally sells good quality products but this just wasnt (costco no longer sells them). I tried tech support but they didn't offer solutions and responses were slow.

Hi Brad, We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and the issues with the app, motion detection, and adjustments. We understand how disappointing this must be, especially after seeking support. Your feedback is important and will be shared with our team to improve. Best regards, Jenny | Defender Customer Experience Expert

Had my system just over a year, 75% failure rate. The first two cameras replaced the last one out of warranty. What good is a system that will not last but a year or so. Now I understand why they only warranty their systems for a year. It cost a quarter of the system cost to replace the last camera. If any other cameras fail, the system goes on the trash.

The empowe app was easy to install, use, and invite my husband to share. We have the 16 camera system, and I especially like the ability to snap pictures/videos without looking all over for them. They immediately loaded in my pictures and gallery apps in addition to the empower app. The detection page is awesome. I now go there to view first before using playback. It's great having the ability to listen during playback. Great system.
