The new John Deere Wi-Fi Camera 100 and John Deere Outdoor Wi-Fi Camera 120W make getting started extremely easy without the need to run new cables. Simply mount the cameras in the desired location, plug into an outlet and pair them to any existing Wi-Fi network. Within minutes, users can view and listen to live or recorded video and audio in stunning HD clarity from any iOS or Android device. Both include the most powerful CMOS imaging sensor on the market for exceptional quality and cutting-edge IR filters for powerful night-vision performance. Built-in Wi-Fi extenders expand existing wireless home network coverage to boost the connection

"These new cameras reflect John Deere's commitment to quality and durability," said Dean Hamke, Category Licensing Manager with John Deere. "The Tend platform literally helps our customer stay linked to the land. There is a sense of security knowing that your family, and your property, are safe and sound."

The cameras are available for both indoor and outdoor applications.

  • The John Deere Wi-Fi Camera 100 is an indoor camera offering smooth HD streaming video, crisp two-way audio and automatic night vision, along with anytime/anywhere access via the free iSecurity+ app for iOS and Android. It offers 720p HD streaming vdeo and comes with a power adapter, mounting kit and quick installation guide, all for just $99.99 MSRP.
  • The John Deere Outdoor Wi-Fi Camera 120W will offer HD quality streaming video and audio with dual antennas in a durable weatherproof housing to withstand all types of weather conditions at temperatures ranging from -4° to 122°F.

It will offer remote access via the free iSecurity+ app, including electronic pan, tilt and zoom from within the app. The camera will come with a power adapter, mounting kit and quick installation guide for just $129.99 MSRP.



Multiple cameras can be configured on any network to monitor various points of interest, and new cameras can be added quickly and easily at any time. Both cameras offer motion-triggered recording and alerts to notify users of activity detection. Each includes a free lifetime subscription to 24-hours of cloud storage to preserve video clips for review, with additional storage available. Both are available with Tend's optional premium services, including Smart Detection ($2.99/month) that integrates computer vision technology to differentiate activities and people and reduce false alarms by up to 98 percent, 14-day cloud storage ($9.99/month) and 30-day cloud storage ($19.99/month).

"The John Deere brand is synonymous with connecting people to the land through technology and equipment that are both durable and user-friendly," said Herman Yau, Tend co-founder and CEO. "These outstanding cameras overcome the complexity of most other systems by making them very easy to set up and get started. Partnering with John Deere also means these products are accessible to a much wider market, giving more people an easy and effective way to keep tabs on what matters most to them from anywhere."
