Why Your DEFEND 360 Camera Needs a Data Plan
All DEFEND cameras operate through a cellular connection. This means they require a data plan to take and send photos to your app. DEFEND offers several data plans based on your expected usage, with optional add-ons that help you get the most out of the camera.
How to Choose a DEFEND 360 Data Plan
Choosing a DEFEND data plan is an easy process. There are three data plans to choose from: Starter, Pro, and Premium. The difference between the three is how many photos you may receive and how many live view sessions you will have. Each plan has monthly or annual payment options–with the annual option featuring big savings.
Each plan will provide you with images and live view sessions.
-
Starter allows 250 images and three live view sessions per month.
-
Pro features unlimited photos and five live view sessions monthly.
-
Premium has unlimited everything.
There is also an add-on that can be paired with any of the three plans. Plus covers every camera on your account and adds features like extended cloud storage and on-demand photo and video capability.
