How to position the camera for the best security I’ll speak more about the app performance below, but trust me it is impressively fast responding and better than most smart camera apps I use regularly. The setup was so smooth that as soon it connected to my Wi-Fi I received a notification to my phone: “Human Detected.” When I clicked on that notification it played the video of me holding the Defender box immediately.

Set the camera up inside near your router first: this will ensure you know it’s working when the signal is strong then when you move it into position outside, if it won’t connect to the network, you know it’s because of a weak Wi-Fi signal and can take measures to deal with that issue.

This is the situation in my home, and you can see in the image above the “EXT” extension on my signal showing me that I am on the right Wi-Fi network for where I want the camera placed. One other thing to note, if you have a Wi-Fi extender and the signal from that router is strongest in the area where you wish to install the camera, then be sure to be logged into the extender’s 2.4 Ghz signal. Most home network routers will have a dual band configuration and you can access either band. This is common for many smart home devices: they only work on a 2.4G network. As you can see in the image above, the app clearly says 2.4 Ghz only (not 5G).

Ensure your mobile device is connected to a 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi signal.

Setting up the Guard Pro and Defender Guard App The Defender camera I previously tested had a 16 GB card and I have not had any issues with it (after over 2 years!) If the card ever did fail, I’d simply buy a new one and replace it since they are very inexpensive (and available at Best Buy). As such, you will not have to pay for cloud storage … ever. This consistent positive experience over 2+ years with a brand bodes well for anyone looking for a smart camera that will do what you hope over years of use.Īlso, this camera includes a 32GB SD card for on camera video storage.

In both cases, the set up was fast and simple, the manufacturer’s instructions were clear, the connection to the app was quick and without incident, and the performance of both camera and app were exactly as expected. Many aspects of my experience testing the new Guard Pro camera were similar to that of the earlier experience. It’s been a reliable eyewitness to everything going on in front of my mainland home while I stayed at my island home for most of the last two years (thanks to Covid). In fact, this camera is still working great, like new. I reviewed a previous model of Defender Guard 2K Wi-Fi camera a couple years ago on the blog: it was easy to set up, the app connected to the camera easily too, and the camera did a great job capturing movement, notifying me, and storing the video so I could watch it or download using my phone whenever I wanted.
