- Does it need wiring or an electrician?
- No. Each camera runs on its own solar panel and rechargeable battery and connects over Wi-Fi. You mount it and pair it with the app.
- How is the video quality?
- It records 4K (3840x2160) at 15 fps. Detail is strong, but motion looks less smooth than 30 fps cameras, so fast movement can blur.
- Is a subscription required?
- No. It records to a microSD card in the camera. Cloud storage and AI features may need the Defender app's paid plan, so check before buying.
- How long does the battery last?
- Runtime depends on sunlight and how often the camera pans or records. In good sun the panel keeps it topped up; heavy use or shade means more frequent charging.
- Can it see in the dark?
- It has night vision for low light, but color night video needs some ambient light. Expect black-and-white infrared footage in full darkness.
- What's in the box?
- Three cameras, three solar panels, mounting hardware and a quick-start guide. A microSD card is usually sold separately.
