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 let you go to the latest pic. It opens on the last one you opnened. I have not found away to get it to consistently update to the latest pic. Yesterday when I looked at the link on the phone it showed 3 new pics. The app opened frozen. I was looking at the check in pic from the day before. It would not let me see the 3 pics. It let me go to the live view but would not let me see the 3 pics. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it again and it updated. It turned out to be a deer.
Im ordering a camera from somebody else tonight. I need it to work all the time not just when the app decides to work.
BTW I have 2 reveal game cameras and love them. They work great and have a searchable gallery
1 More thing, good luck figuring out how to name the camera and its location. Took me about 24 hours with no support. Who ever wrote the instructions really needs a dictionary. It comes with a quick start guide and that's all the manual you are getting.
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.
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.
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 and still loading. It is not the first time that it has happened to me unfortunately.
