Verdict: 50/100

Unfortunately, we have received a faulty unit from Browning. The cellular connection and camera connectivity are not functional, and we were unable to resolve the issue through troubleshooting with Browning's technical support over the phone. As a result, we must return the unit. However, Browning will only send a replacement once they have conducted their own testing, which could take several weeks. Therefore, we must put our testing on hold until we receive a replacement unit. We advise against purchasing this model at this time, as it is unclear whether the issue is limited to our unit or if all cameras from this batch have the same problem. We have set our ratings midway until we can conduct proper testing to determine fair ratings.


Pro Tip:

As previously mentioned, we do not recommend purchasing trail cameras and accessories directly from manufacturers due to the often complicated return process. This typically involves waiting in line at the post office and paying for shipping, with refunds or replacements taking several weeks to process. Instead, when possible, we suggest utilizing local retailers or online marketplaces like Amazon, which offer easy returns and refunds. In particular, local retailers can be advantageous as replacements can be picked up immediately rather than waiting for delivery.
