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.

Excellent product. Works perfectly in remote area. I am finally able to have good security camera at my farm where there is no WiFi. This was a perfect answer for my need. Works flawlessly so far. Thanks!

360 review
bubble on it to make sure it’s level up and down when installing would be nice. i had to tweak it after initial set up so i could pan up enough to see whole food plot. more clarity live and increased sensitivity. i’ve went live a couple times to be surprised deer standing right in front of it and it never took pic. 360 motion sensor for camera to move where ever motion is detected. love it though super cool tool.
From Defend
Easy to mount
Waiting for camera to completely charge before mounting. However, have tried camera inside. Seems to work well snd sends a lot of pics. I have the top monthly service. The mounting hardware is installed on a tree that should give good coverage to house, lake and road. Recommended by insurance agent for “cabin in the woods. ”

Defend 360
The defend 360 camera works well. The solar panel that’s incorporated is amazing at keeping the batteries charged so you don’t need to worry about changing them or being down a camera due to batteries dying. The only issue I have faced so far is that it does not always capture a photo/video when someone walks by. This may be improved with an improved motion sensor/ better catch radius.
From Defend
As advertised
Does what it should, no major problems encountered so far. I have trouble connecting to it sometimes but probably more to do with cell service than the cam.

Whole new level of secure
Love my 360 - can see my entire building from 1 camera & I know it cannot be defeated by cutting my power or internet - the ultimate security cam
From Defend
Love it so far
Only two complaints. One is that live streaming should be allowed much more than 5 times on the basic subscription. Bigger request is that is should be integrated with the main Tactacam app. Having to use two different apps - one for all my Tactacams and another for my Defend - is not a good solution. All cameras should be accessible from ONE app.

Why a separate app?
I bought this hoping to add it to my reveal app along with my hunting cameras but it requires the defend app. You can add the reveals to the defend app but not for the same prices as you can the reveal app. It may not be a big deal to many but when I have a dozen cameras, including the original defend, it gets costly. My reveal app with my newer cams have most all the same features as the 360 so I'm not sure why it can't be implemented into one app for a much better user experience.

Must have separate App from Reveal
I purchased the new 360 defend, mounted and setting up was not aware it requires separate app and subscription as my other cameras or would not have went that route.

Gettin' There. . . . .
Commented previously about having to use limited monthly live camera shots (based on plan type) to help properly set-up camera view. After further use, struggling to get used to the Defender app use when compared to Tactacam. Really miss having a numeric icon pop-up next to the app icon to let you know that new pics have been taken.
From Defend
Love this camera
This camera is incredible, I love that you can control it from your phone. Zoom in and out is also a very nice option. I definitely want another one!
From Defend
Good not great
Camera has good connectivity, responsive to live picture. Needs to pan up higher, more info on photo like trail cameras. Photo cell stays charged. Motion isn’t very sensitive at times.
From Defend
Remote security
Good camera. I wish the Reveal app controlled the pan, tilt features. I have a mix of Reveal and Defend Security cams for remote land security and animal watching. I routinely request HD pictures and videos but the Defend app doesn't act the same as Reveal.
From Defend
Doing its job
I’m using the camera in a trial area before i take it to the country. Working well but figuring it out another matter, this was true even with the Reveal cameras I’ve been using. I ended up reading reviews to figure stuff out. Even looking at the online manual does not explain things to enough detail.
From Defend
Use of my reveal next to the new 360
At this time I’m using both side by side, they will be in different locations this summer. They both work very well, but I will say the reveal picks up the neighbors dog much more frequently than the 360. Overall I’m happy with both. :+1:

Works Like A Champ
We bought the Defend 360 for monitoring the traffic at our front gate. Our gate is about a 1/4 mile from the house and we have had a few instances of vandalism. The Defend 360 with its cellular connection works perfectly - we are notified immediately when someone approaches the gate. With live view we can watch if the individual is just a normal delivery are something else. If you have a remote location that needs surveillance then the Defend 360 is for you.
From Defend
Not happy with the location
Not happy with the location of the power button. Can’t get to it when mounted. Otherwise I like it a lot.
From Defend
No complaints
Best cellular camera I’ve ever owned. I use it to monitor progress and ingress/egress on my new construction home site in a more remote location. I can live stream the camera anytime I see activity on site and move the camera around remotely with the 360 feature. I’ve never had any cellular interruptions or anything that would cause the camera to not function as it’s supposed too. I plan to buy another one as soon as construction is finished to add to my home security. 10/10

Great all around security camera
Great all around security camera, easy to setup, nice mobile app, and a breeze to install.
From Defend
It's ok.
It's a okay camera. Would I buy another NO. It's not half as good as my other one that I have out. You ask for a review so I gave you one.
From Defend
