Defender has a long tradition of making high quality home security cameras that are affordable for home owners. I recently tested two Defender systems on the Best Buy Blog and was impressed with the ease of setup and the high-quality video captured by these devices. Defender just released a new camera at Best Buy, the Defender Guard Indoor/Outdoor IP Camera, and we have two to give away in this contest.

Defender security cameras deliver great value for homeowners

As Editor-in-Chief on the blog, I get many of the main brands of security cameras on my desk and have tested most of them myself. I have to say that Best Buy does have a great selection of home security cameras, and the Defender brand is right up there with the best for how easy they are to set up and use, and how great the image quality is.

Defender 4K wired cameraI have reviewed two different types of Defender systems on the blog. One of these was a wired system with four 4k cameras that all connected to a DVR. I pointed out scenarios where this type of system might be a homeowner’s best bet for great security. I also showed the steps for setting it up and getting the most from that system.

 

Defender Wireless 2K cameraThe second Defender system that I reviewed was a 2k wireless outdoor camera. That camera is easier to install than a wired system, as it sends the video stream over the internet. It shares a very key feature with the other system that I reviewed though: it does not require any additional fees for cloud storage (something many other camera systems do require). That means once you pay for the camera, you do not have to pay for anything else to use the camera and get maximum security benefits (you do need home internet, but I’m assuming most people have that these days).

New Defender Guard Camera will be perfect for most homeowners

As I said at the beginning, Defender just released a new camera at Best Buy. The Defender Guard Wireless 2K Camera shares many of the features with the 2k camera that I recently reviewed. It too has on-camera storage via a 16GB microSD card (expandable to 128GB). It has the same great video quality that I described in my review too, with incredible 16x zoom and crystal clear night vision. The camera will even record the voices and sounds of people being recorded. Crystal clear video and audio will be great tools to help identify who was on your property, or what animal knocked over the garbage bins—animal issues are a big concern around my home!

Check out the information section on the product page to learn about some of its other great features, like a wide field of view, IP67 ratings providing resistance to all forms of weather, etc.

  1. I’d use these to help with general security concerns around the house. It’s great to be able to provide police with evidence should something occur and it’s also good to have them in order to provide a modicum of deterrant should anyone wish to cause trouble. Thanks!

  2. Would like to watch out for garages and vehicles being broken into as this has become an increasing concern in our neighborhood

  3. We;ve had issues Christmas time with our packages left at the door being opened so something like this would be useful for us, particularly since we are away for work during the week.

  4. The security concerns that I would address, would be getting documented video as to who enters our cottage driveway when we are away, and their car/truck licence plates, so that if there was to be a break in, that we would be able to pursue charges. We have had 4 break-ins over the years to our city home, despite moving 3 times, so I am frustrated with these people, who need to be caught and charged, for stealing things that they did not go out and work for. So, I want the most updated and functional security system that can be recorded and streamed.

  5. I would point it at driveway and road . I have had no problems with break ins but other have. so filming kids walking down the road might help police see who was out . so when police come around and ask if I saw anything or heard anything I can say I might have them on camera

    • oh the irony! However, the camera might protect packages from other vendors too … like when you order online from bestbuy.ca. haha!

  6. I have as large deck with three storage buildings on it that contain valuables and collectibles. Winning a Defender camera in this contest will go a long way to giving me peace of mind about these items.

  7. We travel a fair amount and like to check that everything is fine while we’re away. We live in a secluded area.

  8. My wife and I are in our golden years, living alone in a older neighborhood populated by many new neighbors who do not illuminate the exterior of their homes at night. This makes our street very dark , and recently there has been vandalism on our cars.. I feel that this camera would offer us a form of protection.

  9. I am looking for a reliable replacement for the skybell. I want a camera with motion detection and notifications to my phone.

  10. We have a walkout basement with a sliding door and have some concerns about break-ins from that entrance. Would love to set up a camera there for peace-of-mind!

  11. Our home is one of those with the garage protruding from the home. We can’t see the driveway from the front window. This would help as we do have cars parked in the driveway. Also, my daughter orders a lot online and deliveries are often made when no one is home. This would help track down any person who decided to make off with one of her packages.
