Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the built-in solar panel for exceptional battery performance and appreciate clear, detailed photo and video quality. Many find installation straightforward and design compact. However, significant frustration centers on inconsistent motion detection—reviewers report missed vehicles, people, and animals despite being in view. App usability remains a major complaint, with users unable to access captured photos easily or stream live video frequently enough. Some note mounting hardware feels flimsy. Despite these drawbacks, most customers value the battery longevity and image clarity enough to recommend it.

If the app would let you navigate I think it would be a good camera. I ve had it for about 30 days now. 1 it has an event calendar which when you open the app it my or my not let you go to it. it opens frozen most of the time. And when it freezes the only thing I've been able to figure is close it and wait a little while and open it again. Some times this works. If it doesn't work get in the truck and drive to the property to check on it. When it freezes the back arrow does not work. It does NOT...

I do not like it, it does not pick up all the motion and its not good for what I need it for, and expensive.

Great Business Tool
I bought a defend 360 to overlook material and equipment storage on a worksite. The camera has been excellent for remotely monitoring my material stockpiles, and I have my dump trailer parked where I can monitor how full it is. I have also used it to track down a nail gun that was stolen when the guys left it out at lunch. I wasn’t sure I needed it when I bought it, but it has paid for itself and allowed me to make logistics decisions based on real time updates from 50 miles away.

Ann’s 360 camera view
The only thing I think would improve the product is that it be able to have a 180 motion detector and view. Other wise a great camera.

Microphone/Speaker
The Defend would be an improved security product if there was a way to communicate with someone I see on camera from the app. I can hear the sounds near the camera but cannot transmit.

Excellent camera
The 360 camera is amazing! Up and running in 10 minutes and it's been great!!!

Does not turn & freezes
When I noticed someone walking into my property and they were on the right side of the camera, when I wanted to turn to view them it did not let me move the camera to see what they were doing. I got the 360 camera for that reason to be able to move it wherever live, but very disappointed & now that I got a notification of someone walking in, it does not let me view it live. I’ve been stuck waiting for 10 minutes and it’s been stuck on the same screen. I’ve swiped out of the app and refreshed it ...

The system is really good, i like it cause it was easy to install and very easy to operate.

For a very particular setting
Only recommend if you can suspend on a beam a minimum of 20ft over a completely barren space. Pixel movement triggers a photo, no intelligent optimization or way to set activity zones so a fern in the wind will cause a spam notification frenzy. Capture delay is so long it only records after I have passed through the field of view. Incredibly frustrating to mount on base- lock twist is hidden and shallow and tedious to find and set. View is so close up, distance and height are key because of ...

After having the camera up
After having the camera up for a couple weeks on my driveway, it is evident that the trigger distance on the defend 360, is no where near that of the Reveal 2. 0. Also, it very rarely catches us going out in the mornings. 3 vehicles go out between 6:30 & 8:30, and it never takes a picture of us. After about 9:30am, it seems to do fine. We should have stuck with the regular Gen 2. 0 camera.

So far it’s really good. I have it on a hog trap. Mainly use live feed. Video is great!

360 reviews
So far I’m not that impressed. Setup, plan upgrades were a hassle. Wording in the online app not always clear. I thought I’d have a 360 view at all time but that’s not the case. add were not clear. You only get pictures were camera is left. it’s ok but a little pricey for what you get. good news is the phone reps are all good to work with and they speak Plain English

Cost more per month than advertised
First month was great, so we decided to get the year plan and then everything changed. Now I cant even get live view. Camera is good when working but bad company.

Defend 360 user review
Likes: quality manufacturing, integrated solar, reasonable bandwidth fee, decent pics and vids, PTZ works well. Dislikes: the big dislike is that you can only receive pics on the app or website - and crucially not by email. So in effect it’s a closed system. My old cam would also email you pictures, so I could set up and email forward on my inbox, and the pic would automatically get routed to people I wanted to see it. (BTW they also all saw the camera’s brand name on the photo - good marketin...

It works!
I live in the absolute middle of nowhere Missouri and the cam works. There is a couple minute transmit lag from capture to receive but that's better than I thought it would be. My only complaint is that It would be nice if you could put multiple cams on one subscription.

24 hour back scroll Function
Would be nice if it had a function where you can tap into the cam and scroll back through live video maybe 24 hours at least.

Defend Cameras
We have both Sec. Camera's. the New 360 is much better than the Defend. the battery life so far has been so much better than the other camera. We like that they are easy to set up and dont require cords and wifi. Spending the extra a both camera's is kind of a bummer, hopefully in the future they can add a multiple-camera discount. Overall the 360 is the way to go.
