Control your Defender Guard camera with this app to unlock a world of possibilities. Set motion detection schedules, instant alerts and notifications, record and retrieve footage, share and save memorable and not-so-memorable moments, and customize a whole array of other features to your liking. Stay connected anywhere, anytime with advanced encrypted communication protocols. You can even stream, hear, and save live footage over a cellular data connection.
Cloud Storage – No more fees, subscription services, or monthly liabilities. Use your Defender Guard camera with an optional 128 GB SD card (not included) and you’ll get days of recording (depending on your settings).
Motion Detection – Detect everything, anytime. With advanced Night Vision sensors, your Defender Guard can send you motion alerts the day or night, during set times, or only when you access the app.
Activity Regions - Set a detection region and say goodbye to false alarms. Keep an eye out on only the areas that matter!
Recording Timeline – With an easy-to-use visual timeline, scroll through past recordings with an intuitive time/date slider. It’s simplicity, but visualized!
