Great Camera, needs more battery power.

This camera model is new and operates beyond expectations, I would have given it 5 stars except for the short battery life. On our Maine property the weather is too cold and the days are too short to supply enough power to the standard solar panel to keep it online. Unlike the fixed view original Defend cam, there is not (at this time) an optional solar panel with an additional internal battery to support the added power requirements of this camera, so it has gone into sleep mode and is currently offline.
Several differences in the DEFEND app function vs TACTACAM, still getting accustomed to the changes. We used up our limited live photos for the month, just to properly aim the camera.
The cameras seem to work well but the mounting system leaves alot to be desired. I need to be able to mount to a tree (pine tree with thick bark) and the bracket only has very small holes to use with the supplied hardware that is designed to mount into sheetrock or thin lumber. I am scared to try to drill out the holes to allow for larger hardware because if the plastic mount breaks you do not have an option for buying a replacement mount. I have them on a tree using a strap but the camera is so heavy the strap can not hold the camera level and i had to use a stick to wedge behind the mount to try to hold it level. Very disappointed on the poorly thought out mount for these cameras. Until Tactacam fixes this issue I will go back to using Reolink brand cameras for my remote security uses.
Response from DefendBy Christy Schulthess, November 24, 2025
Hello David, thank you for your feedback regarding the included mount with the Defend 360! I've passed it on to our product team. I've also reached out to you via email to work through a solution for your particular situation!
This camera is easy set up, works amazing with the app, captures photos clearly. The live view on the app is where you do most of the settings had to figure that out. Great for rule areas.
Idk how in today’s age you get grainy crappy pictures, but my inquiry to the quality went unanswered so I expect that’s a quality they accept.
Also this camera does not pickup moment from anywhere but where the camera is pointed. Not a deal breaker on that, but still isn’t as cool as it could be. I’d buy another revolver over this if you want mediocre pictures from multiple directions.
