Camera Ratings
Detection Range: 16/20
While rated at "only" 80 feet detection, we have seen detection well beyond 100 feet.

Speed: 8/10
The camera speed is outstanding, and even the video trigger is super fast.
Accuracy: 8/10
It takes a lot of wind to get false triggers from this model, and the accuracy is perhaps even better than other Browning offerings rated at a higher detection range.
Battery Life: 7/10
Considering this camera only needs six AA batteries, the battery life is impressive. But unfortunately, it will not last as long as other Browning models using eight batteries.
Daylight Images: 5/10
Compared with other Browning models, the daylight images are somewhat grainier. Also, the colors are dull and would benefit from a higher saturation.

Lowlight Images: 6/10
Low light images are somewhat grainy but still considerably better than most other brands.

Night Images: 7/10
Night images and videos are solid. The infrared illumination provides enough light for near objects but is not strong enough for anything beyond 50 feet.

Design: 12/20
Overall, the camera is solid, and the adjustable mount provides additional flexibility. While the day images are average, the night images are pretty good. The excellent detection range and battery life make this model attractive, but only if you can find the camera at a discount. At full retail price, we would recommend other Browning models.
Verdict: 69/100
