It seems Guardzilla cameras are out of business.

I tried a Guardzilla in 2017 and couldn’t get it to work with my phone. It appears that the company has closed it’s doors. 

I encountered a lot of frustration trying to install a Guardzilla camera. That led me to go to dLink. and then to Arlo and Wyze.

Apparently Guardzilla ceased operations around July 2020. Users are left with non working cameras and an inability to get to their videos on the cloud. HOWEVER, the videos still exist.

BEWARE – some retailers are still offering Guardzilla cameras for sale.

What to do if you own a Guardzilla camera

Look for replacements

It doesn’t seem that the company will be back. If you invested in Guardzilla cameras, you will need to find alternatives. Keep an eye on things in the event that the company is purchased and the buyers decide to support the old cameras

Assess what you have online

Your videos existed on the Guardzilla servers. The status of those videos is in question.

Hopefully, you don’t have any sensitive videos stored there.

Another consideration is if you need those videos for something like defending against a lawsuit or to press charges against trespassers. If that is the case, you probably want to engage an attorney as soon as possible.

  1. That’s a bummer. I liked my Guardzillas much better than the Arlos I replaced them with, after I was unable to get them hooked up again after switching to fiber optic wifi. Quite possibly could have been the company and not my wifi, it sounds like!

  2. I wonder why all Gaurdzilla camera users were not given the opportunity for security camera replacement or at least compensation for purchase since they knew they were going out of business. Also how is it possible that other outlets are still selling these cameras with no support. Is there anyway to gather support for these cameras
