The SENTINEL1 is a user-friendly, do-it-yourself security system that offers many advanced features for the protection of your business or home. The online viewing feature allows you to conveniently access your DVR's live or recorded video footage on any computer in the world with Internet Explorer.

The compact unit has everything you need to start monitoring your property effectively.

Fast & Hassle-Free Setup
The SENTINEL1 is one of Defender's complete do-it-yourself systems that are incredibly easy to set up and use with no need to hire a professional installer. Auto-start recording ensures that your system will automatically begin recording as soon as you plug it in to a power outlet. You can easily monitor entryways, offices, shops, warehouses, children's rooms, garages, or any other area in your business or home.

View Video Online with No Service Fees
Regardless of where you are in the world, you can view your DVR's live or recorded video footage on any internet accessible computer with Internet Explorer. See what is happening on your property and check in on your employees or family members. (Requires a router, Windows operating system, Internet Explorer browser, and broadband Internet connection for online viewing).

Record up to 80 Days of Continuous Video Footage
We use the only hard drive ever designed specifically for DVR security systems. The SENTINEL1's 320GB Seagate SV35 series hard drive can hold up to 80 days of continuous video. Optimized for 24/7 surveillance, the hard drive provides reliability and quality. Your DVR will alert you when your memory space is full so that you can overwrite your old video, stop the unit from recording, or use the built-in USB port to back up and transfer your video footage. In order to achieve the "Storage by Seagate" mark, our DVRs are subject to rigorous testing at Seagate's testing facilities in Longmont, Colorado.

Small DVR, Big Picture!
Compact and discreet (approximately the same size as a toaster), the SENTINEL1 is easy to hide out of sight in a closet or cupboard. This DVR is ideal for areas such as retail stores, where protecting the location of the surveillance system is essential. All your recorded video footage can be viewed directly on the integrated 7" LCD screen, which provides a clear, true-to-life picture. The LCD on/off button lets you turn the screen off to save energy when not in use.

4 Professional Grade Hi-Res Night Vision Cameras
Four high quality color cameras provide you with a clear and consistent picture at 420 TV lines of resolution. They allow you to better distinguish facial features, which can help in the positive identification of individuals. The cameras can be used indoor and outdoor. Each one is built with professional grade aluminum housing and a sunshade to help prevent glare, deterioration and rusting.

View in the Dark with Automatic Night Vision
The cameras come equipped with night vision, allowing you to see any monitored area (up to 15ft away) in total darkness. Each camera has 12 infrared LEDs that activate automatically when it becomes dark and deactivate during the day to save energy. You will always be able to see what is happening in your yard or at your business after-hours.

Advanced Motion Activated Recording
You have the option to record video only when motion is detected. Finding important video footage using the playback feature is easy, and will also save you time and conserve hard drive space. You can even set individual cameras to detect motion while the others continuously record.

USB/DVD/CD Backup
A built-in USB port gives you the option of backing up and transferring your video footage with a USB flash drive, external USB hard drive, or an external DVD/CD writer (peripherals not included). Your video footage then becomes portable for easy viewing and archiving on any PC.

24/7 Scheduled Recording to Meet Your Needs
You can fully customize a weekly recording schedule. You can choose which days of the week and hours of the day you want to continuously record, motion record, or not record at all. Each camera can be scheduled with different settings (up to 30 frames per second per camera).

Customize Your Camera Display
Display all four cameras in Quad Screen mode (four camera split screen), or show just an individual camera in Full Screen. Zoom Mode allows you to enlarge a portion of the camera's view to get a closer look, and Sequence Mode cycles through all camera views at preset interval times.

Easily Connects to TV for Viewing
The DVR supports external TV/monitors with RCA connections. This is useful for monitoring from multiple locations within your business or home, and provides a larger view of your cameras.

Find Your Video Footage Easily with Time, Date, and Event Search
Simply choose the desired date and time range, and the requested video clips will appear. Clips are also labeled by event, which makes it easy to find footage that was captured by motion detection.

Endless Location Options with 60ft of Wiring per Camera
The included 60ft camera wiring gives you flexibility in the installation of your cameras and allows you to increase each camera's range. If you need additional 60ft cable lengths, you can purchase the DF10W. The single wire also conveniently carries both the power and video signals, so you are only running one wire per camera (maximum 180ft cable length per camera is recommended).

24/7 Lifetime Live Customer Support
Assistance is available for you whenever you need it. Simply visit www.defender-usa.com for simple tips on how to protect your property and instructional videos on topics such as camera placement.

Customer Reviews

Very satisfied with SENTINEL 1 system
I installed the system myself on April 12 and it has been working great. The quality of the images is very good and it gives me peace of mind to know that everything that goes on around the house is being recorded. The DDNS is a plus!! I'm constantly monitoring the system over the internet.

We have an alarm system that calls my cell phone when it goes off and before purchasing this system I had no idea as to what set the alarm off. Now I simply write down the time of the call and when I get home I simply search the video for that time period.

I purchased and additional 60ft. cable in case I need to move one of the cameras further.

Thanks for bringing this great unit at such an affordable price. I did quite a bit of research and this system was above the rest.

Great basic CCTV for your home
I purchased this system mainly because of the integrated monitor and its small size. I absolutely love that it's literally a plug-and-play system. Install the cameras, plug them into the main unit, plug it in and it's working. The set-up instructions are good and easy to follow. I also like the being able to either use the included mouse or remote to control the various functions. I had a hard time when I tried to saving a specific event to the USB drive, but without reading the instructions (I'm a man for crying out loud) I figured it out in about 20 minutes. Fortunately, I have Windows dual-booted on my iMac so I can take advantage of the USB drive... otherwise, I would be stuck. Please make software for Mac OS X, it kills me to boot Windows! Anyway, this is a great product for the average person who wants a basic CCTV system. Two draw backs are the it isn't expandable and it's pretty loud. Other than that, no buyers remorse here.

Works great, very quick to set up...
I've had this system for about four months. It was very simple to install and set the recording options up. You have to play with the motion sensor sensitivity settings and the sensor range quite a bit to get it perfect, but once you get it right it will record well when a person trips the motion sensor. We have the main unit mounted on a beam by our skylights, and have an rca cable connecting it to our 52" inch tv in our bedroom. The internet viewing works well. You register your unit with the company's site, and then they give you a login for that site. When you want to view your cameras in a web browser, you just go to there site and login. If you are using the client software that comes with it to connect remotely, it gets a slightly better frame rate than the web browser. You cannot view the web based version through a proxy server, (at least not Squid or Freeproxy). I even set our proxy's port to the same port that the website uses to connect you to your system and it didn't work. So if you are planning on viewing your system through a proxy from your workplace, you might want to get your IT to open up the firewall for your computer and bypass the proxy, or find a system that works through proxies. Overall, I really like this system. I have used the archived video several times to find out who threw garbage in the back of my truck, who's toilet papering the neighbors, and who the annoying person is that always leaves flyers at the door whenever I'm not home.
