When choosing a company, it is better that you first research a little, ask friends and family, and then make a well informed decision. The residential security market is growing fast. Defenders, a local family run company specializing in home security and smart home technology, is growing faster. Fueled by a plethora of new digital and wireless technology, the home security industry is growing 5
percent to 10 percent each year, according to multiple sources. Defenders, which was founded by husband and wife Dave and Jessica Lindsey in 1998, has grown at a 20 percent annual rate the past two years, with revenue projected to
exceed $600 million this year. And with security systems in only 22 percent of U. S. households and home automation technology taking off, Defenders CEO Jim Boyce is confident there is still plenty of room for growth. “This is a great, great business,” Boyce told IBJ. “There are tons of innovations going on within this industry and that’s going to push growth. ”But the potential has spawned a plethora of new competitors, from cable television providers such as Comcast, to telephone companies including ATandT and Verizon, and the latest—internet retail behemoth Amazon.
This is it – in a convenient kit that has 8 domes and 8 bullet style cameras. Everything that I would ever want to have in my home security kit is here – 4K recording, 4K playback, redundant storage, advanced motion detection, you name it, its got it. I am considering adding an NVR to my DIY NAS NVR system and this would be the perfect addition.

Where do I begin?Bizarre design choices such as using a micro USB cable and camera connections instead of regular old network cables and RJ45 ports, and deceptive marketing which then calls this a “network cable” which it is anything but!I have never ever seen a “network cable” that has one RJ 45 end and a USB connector at the other end. Hi Steve, thanks for dropping by!I call these NVR kits the EasyDIY solution to home CCTV but my preferred option is FullDIY where I run everything off one small NAS box, my QNAP TS 253A. I have 4 cameras and the QNAP Surveillance Station takes care of my needs nicely with redundant storage and an OpenVPN server all for under $500. The QNAP Surveillance STation software hasn’t changed much in the last 3 years but its reliable and does the job. You can check out a live demo on this page.
