DEFEND Settings Overview

Here is an overview of the settings available in the DEFEND app and steps on how to access them.

Please note by clicking the (i) icon next to each setting you can view a detailed explanation of each setting.

To update the settings on your DEFEND camera(s) within the DEFEND App please follow these steps. 

1. On the home page, select the Cameras icon at the bottom of the page
2. Select the Camera Location name
3. Select which camera you would like to change the settings on
4. Select Camera Settings
5. Select the category of the setting you wish to change. The different settings are: 

• Record Video
• Motion Detection
• Motion Sensitivity
  • Low
  • Medium
  • High
• Check-In Frequency
  • Instant
  • Hybrid
• Send Check-In Picture
• Motion Schedule
• Power Type
  • Alkaline
  • NI-MH
  • Lithium
  • Lithium Cartridge

Check-in Picture: Check-in pictures are not designated as such in the app, and will appear to be a false trigger.

This setting is recommended for low-traffic areas, where you may go days without receiving a picture to ensure that your camera is still taking/sending photos as it should.

Check-In Frequency: If the Check-In Frequency is set to Hybrid the camera checks for settings changes made in the app during daily check-ins and for 5 minutes after a motion trigger. The camera connection is off the remaining time to conserve battery. If set to Instant the camera changes its settings within minutes of being adjusted in the app.  Requesting On-Demand photos requires the camera to be in instant mode.
