Product Description

From the Manufacturer

PHOENIX1EX Overview

The PHOENIX1EX is an easy to use, wire-free, color handheld monitoring system that can be used indoors or outdoors to keep your family and belongings safe. This 2 camera package has audio and video capabilities that transmit wirelessly to the handheld monitor. With a 2.5-inch color LCD screen, you can enjoy crystal clear viewing without the hassle of wiring your cameras. To protect your privacy and avoid interference, the PHOENIX1EX uses a different frequency than the standardized 2.4gHz, allowing you to view your video without the worry of interference or interception. Both cameras feature automatically activating night vision which helps you see clearly at night and in dark situations. The PHOENIX1EX allows you to keep watch over your belongings and loved ones without a bulky system or wiring.

PHOENIX1EX Highlights

Avoid Interference & Interception with Clear Signal Technology

The PHOENIX1EX uses Clear Signal Technology to ensure that other wireless signals do not affect the quality of your surveillance. Other wireless devices have interference issues and concerns over interception and privacy. With the PHOENIX1EX, audio and video are transmitted over the 900MHz frequency, giving you a clear signal. Your system will not receive interference from standardized 2.4GHz wireless networks, routers, phones, devices, or access points within your home or business. Audio and video signals can pass through floors and walls within the 75ft optimum range.

Completely Wire-Free Surveillance

With the PHOENIX1EX, there is no need to connect wires from the cameras to the monitor. The monitor is powered by a built-in rechargeable lithium battery and both cameras are capable of running on battery power, making this system able to operate completely wirelessly. You can carry the LCD monitor with you as you move from your office to warehouse, or from room to room in your home. The versatility of the PHOENIX1EX allows you to monitor your valuables and loved ones, no matter how active they are!

Continuous Security – Day and Night!

You don't have to worry about what you've been missing at night at your home or business. These cameras come equipped with night vision that allows you to see clearly even in total darkness (up to 10 feet away). Each camera has 8 infrared LEDs that activate automatically when it becomes dark and deactivate during the day to save energy. Day or night, you will always be able to see what is happening.

Hear What is Happening With Audio Support

You can't always be watching your video, so we added audio capabilities to the PHOENIX1EX system. Built-in microphones in the cameras let you hear everything that is happening in your monitoring location. You can be anywhere in your home and still hear sounds of distress. Another safety feature of the PHOENIX1EX is the audible alarm feature. Simply set the monitor to alert you with an audible beep when it detects sound above an adjustable preset level. When both cameras are connected and one of them detects sound, you can be alerted by video displaying from that camera.

Durable Weatherproof Camera Housing

The PHOENIX1EX includes 2 indoor/outdoor color cameras that provides clear, crisp, and enhanced video at 360 TV lines of resolution. This allows you to better distinguish facial features, which can help in the positive identification of individuals. Both cameras are built with professional grade aluminum housing that will prevent deterioration and rusting so you can monitor outdoors with ease.

Easily Connect to Your TV for Viewing

The PHOENIX1EX easily connects to your TV or monitor with the included RCA wire. Allow the PHOENIX1EX to be the eyes and ears of your property with the system's audio and video transmission. Simply connect the receiver to a VCR or DVR for recording and you will be able to see what the cameras see when you aren't around. You no longer need to wonder what you've been missing in your home or office with the PHOENIX1EX.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works Well, October 18, 2009

This review is from: Defender PHOENIX1EX Wireless Video Security System with Portable LCD Monitor and 2 Indoor/Outdoor Night Vision Surveillance Camera with Clear Signal Technology (Electronics)
I've been using this for 2 months and it works as described. Set up is extremely easy. I didn't encounter any interference from my other wireless devices which are numerous. I have a camera mounted by each entrance door. One is outside and has been exposed to heavy rains and continues to work fine. The night vision isn't great, but I didn't expect it to be. Batteries don't last for more than 3-4 hours so it's not a good solution if you don't have a nearby power outlet, but it's probably perfect for a portable baby monitor. The only complaint I have is that they don't make extensions for the AC power adaptors. The 6.5 ft cord wasn't long enough for either of my installations. It would have been much easier with a longer adaptor cord.

Update 1/21/2010 Both units have continued to work well when temps fell into the single digits. I had to make an enclosure for the outdoor camera. Snow kept getting on the lens cover and then refreezing. The enclosure is a cheap plastic cup. I just cut a hole in the end, slid it on the front, and used my friend Mr Duct Tape to make sure it doesn't blow off. I suggest making an enclosure for any outdoor installation to keep the lens cover dry. If it gets wet the video will be blurry until it dries.

Update 8/26/10 The cameras continue to work great. I found the easiest way to weatherproof is to slip on a piece of foam pipe insulation. The foam tubes with a 1 1/4" inside diameter fit perfectly. Those are the ones sold for insulating 1" pipe. You can find pipe insulation at any hardware store for $1-2 per 6 foot length. Snip off a 4" piece, slide it over the entire camera and adjust so it doesn't obstruct the field of view. Leave as much extending past the lens as possible.

1.0 out of 5 stars Totally Awful, Waste of Money, August 31, 2009
By

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Defender PHOENIX1EX Wireless Video Security System with Portable LCD Monitor and 2 Indoor/Outdoor Night Vision Surveillance Camera with Clear Signal Technology (Electronics)
buying this product was my first attempt of adding security cameras to my exterior of my house.
I tested out them inside the house first, with the reciever very close, however when I took the camera's outside.
the signal quality going to the reciever was non existant, I tried over the next few days, never was able to get a clear and acceptable picture. I like the features of the product, but I was never able to get a reliable signal.
I ended up a few months later, finding the logitech wilife system, sold on amazon, and even though it cost alot more. it actually is a better system then PhoenixEX.

This review is from: Defender PHOENIX1EX Wireless Video Security System with Portable LCD Monitor and 2 Indoor/Outdoor Night Vision Surveillance Camera with Clear Signal Technology (Electronics)
If you plan on using this in anything but sunlight don't buy it. The night viewing is limited to 4 feet in front of you and a circle about a foot in diameter. With indoor lighting the picture is dim and the colors are off. I should have paid attention to the other reviews.
