I can’t speak for other companies but the service and cameras are great. I’ve got the older version & just got the newer ones a little bit of a learning curve but great upgrade.
I've had these cameras installed for over a year now. I absolutely love them! I am currently a police officer and formerly Iran a security business dealing in surveillance systems for businesses primarily. I sold and installed the surveillance systems. These cameras are as good or better than most of the systems I sold to businesses and for only a Fraction of the cost.
I can't recommend these highly enough. After showing other police officers these Amazing cameras, and the simple but full fearured app, many of them have installed them on their own homes and have thanked me for it. As a police officer who's unit focuses on gangs, gun violence, and drugs, I am often threatened by gang members. My photo has been posted on social media by some of these individuals as a target. I say that to say, I take mine and my family's safety Very Serious! I will do anything or spend any amount of money to keep them safe. The Defender Guard cameras gives me and my family peace of mind knowing that no one, no car, no bicycle, Nothing can approach our house day or night without us knowing.
These cameras are the most bang for the buck you will find.
I trust them with the thing most dear to me, my family.
I love the cameras themselves, but the app only works on Android phones and tablets, and they haven't updated it since 2019. Sometimes the app will just close for no reason. I tried building a VM on my Windows 2010 laptop with various versions of Android, but the Defender app will not start up. Please update the app to be more compatible.
