RuralGuard Defender 360

Why buy from us

A camera in a field is only useful if it's working.

What's different is everything that happens after you order.

Theo fitting and testing a SIM before dispatch

Your SIM is fitted and tested before it ships.

We put it in, switch it on and check it connects — here, before it's boxed. You scan a code and you're live. Nothing to configure in a cold shed.

Graham, RuralGuard founder

A person answers. Even at the weekend.

Ring or WhatsApp and you get Graham, Theo or one of the team — not a call centre. We'll set it up with you over the phone if you'd rather; most calls take five minutes. Weekend replies within two hours.

UK stock. Order before 2pm, it goes today.

Defender 360 with its box

18-month warranty. 30 days to change your mind.

Longer cover than the industry standard. If it's not right, send it back. If it develops a fault, we'll usually have you working again the same day — and cover the postage if it needs to come back.

If it won't get signal at your spot, you don't buy it. That's the deal. Send us your postcode and we'll check.

Live, real speed. Not slowed down.

The main thing that sets it apart

True 360°. No blind spot.

Most "pan-tilt" cameras stop at 355°. There's a slice of your yard they can never look at, and it's always the slice you needed. The Defender 360 turns the whole way round — and keeps going.

  • Upgraded high-speed motor. Snaps round to follow someone crossing the yard instead of losing them at the edge of frame.
  • One camera, the whole shed. Covers a full lambing or calving shed from a single spot. No second camera to cover the corner.
  • Follows on its own. Auto-tracks people — and vehicles on the Elite — so it's already turned by the time you open the app.
  • 36x optical zoom on top. Turn to it, zoom into it, read it. Face, plate, ear tag.

Filmed in our stock room on a standard bracket. That's the actual speed.

Which one? Want to know someone's there — Defender. Want to know who — Elite.

Data plan

Your SIM, already sorted.

4G version only. If you've chosen WiFi or PoE, you don't need a data plan — the camera runs on your own internet and there's no monthly cost.

The 4G Defender needs a data plan the way a phone does. Ours is fitted, activated and tested here before the camera ships — so it arrives working. Scan the code and you're live.

  • Connects to whichever network is strongest at your spot — O2, Three, EE or Vodafone. Not tied to one, so it works where a normal phone struggles.
  • Data's only used when you're watching. 24/7 recording goes to the card in the camera and doesn't touch your allowance.
  • Records 24/7 whether you're watching or not. The camera keeps working through the year — lambing, dark nights, and everything between.
  • Pay annually for a discount. Multi-camera rates if you're running more than one.
Essential £8.50/mo Occasional check-ins and alerts
Most customers Plus £14/mo Normal use, covered comfortably
Premium £25/mo Heavy live viewing

Questions people ask before they buy

Straight answers. Anything we've missed, ring or WhatsApp us on +44 7494 304682.

Do I need the 4G or the WiFi version?

Choose 4G if there's no internet where the camera is going — fields, outbuildings, gates, yards away from the house. It runs on its own SIM and works anywhere there's mobile signal.

Choose WiFi if your broadband reaches the spot reliably — usually on or next to the house. No SIM, no monthly data.

Both versions are the same camera: full 360° pan and tilt, human auto-tracking, two-way audio, night vision. If you're unsure, pick 4G — it works everywhere, and it keeps working if your broadband goes down.

Will I get signal where it's going?

Almost certainly. Our SIMs are made for rural use and aren't tied to a single network — they connect to whichever UK network is strongest at your location, with around 99% coverage. In practice signal is very rarely an issue, even where phones struggle.

Want to be certain? We'll check the signal at your location for you before you order. Just get in touch with roughly where it's going.

What does the 4G data cost?

Plans start at £8.50 a month, and most customers are fine on the entry or mid plan. Data is only used when you're viewing footage in the app — the camera records 24/7 to its own card without using any.

We set the SIM up here before the camera ships, so it arrives working. You can pause the plan when you don't need it, pay annually for a discount, and there's a better rate if you're running several cameras.

Why buy from RuralGuard and not Amazon?

Because a camera in a field is only useful if it's working. When you buy from us:

  • Your SIM is fitted and activated before it leaves us — no APN settings in a cold shed
  • A real person answers the phone, including at weekends, and will walk you through setup
  • 18-month warranty — longer than the industry standard
  • UK stock, same-day dispatch before 2pm, Royal Mail Tracked 24
  • We're rural ourselves. We know what a lambing shed is.

Nobody on a marketplace phones you back when it won't connect. We do.

Can I install it myself?

Yes — it's designed for it. Power it up, scan the QR code in the CamHi Pro app, and you're live. Most people are set up in minutes; mounting it takes longer than connecting it.

Mount it 2.5 to 3 metres up — high enough to be out of reach, low enough to capture faces clearly. A user guide is included, and if you'd rather be walked through it, ring us while you're up the ladder.

How much footage does it store?

Everything records continuously to a memory card inside the camera — nothing depends on the cloud, and there's no cloud fee. As a rough guide:

  • 64GB — around 5 days
  • 128GB — around 10 days
  • 256GB — around 20 days

When the card fills, it records over the oldest footage automatically, so you always have the most recent period. Choose your card size at checkout, or fit your own.

What does it actually do when someone turns up?

It tracks them. The Defender 360 turns to follow a person or vehicle across the whole area rather than catching them in one fixed frame — so you see who it is, what they did and where they went. You get an alert on your phone, you can watch live, and you can speak through the camera — handy for telling a delivery driver where to leave something, or telling someone who shouldn't be there that they're on camera.

Can more than one person use it?

Yes — share it with as many people as you like. Works on iPhone and Android, so family or staff can all view it on their own phones.

What if it's not right for me?

30 days to send it back for a refund or exchange, no arguments. And an 18-month warranty on the camera itself — if anything goes wrong, we'll usually have you working again the same day, and if it needs to come back to us we cover the postage.

Ready when you are.
