There was not much difference between traditional Defend cameras and trailcams. The Defend 360 is uniqely suited to surveillance. And, the Defend 360 has an improved solar recharger that recharges in semi-shade.
I wish for a security camera you could zoom in clearer to see faces, and license plate numbers. In a pinch it works, but there is a lot of room for improvement on quality and cost.
