RuralGuard Defender 360

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/PoE if your broadband reaches the spot reliably, usually on or near the house. No SIM and no monthly data. More than half of our Defenders go out this way.

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

Almost certainly. Our SIMs aren’t tied to one network. They connect to whichever UK network is strongest where the camera is, with around 99% coverage, so signal is rarely a problem even where phones struggle.

Want to be certain? We check 4G coverage at your postcode before the camera leaves us. If it won’t work at your spot, we’ll tell you and refund you in full before it ships.

Plans start at £8.50 a month, with no contract, and most customers are fine on the entry or middle plan. Data is only used when you’re watching 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. Pay yearly for a discount, and there’s a better rate if you’re running several cameras.

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, so there are no settings to fiddle with in a cold shed
• A real person answers, six days a week, and will walk you through setup
• 18-month warranty, and help for as long as you own the camera
• UK stock, same-day dispatch if you order by 2:30pm on a weekday or 9:45am on a Saturday, 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.

Yes, it’s designed for it. Power it up, scan the QR code in the free CamHi Pro app, and you’re live. 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 see faces clearly. If you’d rather be walked through it, ring us while you’re up the ladder.

The camera, a mounting arm, aerials, the 12V power supply, a drill template, four screws and two RuralGuard signs. On the 4G version, the SIM is already fitted and tested inside the camera.

It 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 days.

It tracks them. The Defender 360 turns to follow a person, or a vehicle on the Elite, across the whole area rather than catching them in one fixed frame, so you see who it was, 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 driver where to leave something, or telling someone who shouldn’t be there that they’re on camera.

Yes. Share it with as many people as you like. It works on iPhone and Android, so family or staff can all watch on their own phones.

30 days to send it back for a refund or exchange. After that, an 18-month warranty on the camera. 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.
