BrowningTrail Camera Defender Wireless Pro Scout Verizon

I might update this later but my initial reaction to this camera is the cellular part of the camera (the whole point of this one) is not good. I can be streaming a YouTube video over LTE on my phone in the same location this camera can't connect to LTE. Finally found a spot to out it and got the LTE test to work and it hasn't synched since I did the test. Really frustrating.Update: I put this camera in a spot that, for some reason, goes from 4 bars of service to no service. The LTE service/antenna is just not cutting it. These are made for the woods - where you gonna get better than 4 bars of service? I'm going to contact Browning Customer Service and see what they say - but this might be going back.Update 10/9/22: The camera will not connect to any network at this point. Disappointing.

Put this up at deer camp to watch the food plots. Set up the cellular data plan. Works pretty well. Note if you change settings, you need to wait until the camera "updates" during one of the user selected update times. After it updates the settings will change to what you selected. Had it out for 3 months, batteries only went down to about 40% and the camera took A LOT of pictures. Towards the end of the season, when the camera had captured a video it only recorded about 2 seconds instead of 10 like I had selected. Not sure why this happened, maybe SD card was getting too full so the camera automatically starts taking shorter videos? Whatever I'll fix it next year but it is very nice to check the camera without having to drive an hour and a half to camp with a laptop! Recommend, hopefully they do some updates to the app. The app works better if you are using a PC in my opinion.

This camera has paid for itself several times over just in the gas I have saved by not having to go to the lease so often. My only suggestion would be to give a wider variety of delay times. One minute and I get 500 pictures of grass blowing on a windy day. With a 5 minute delay it's hard to tell where an animal came from or which way it went when it left. A 2 or 3 minute delay would make this a perfect camera. I have the Verizon version and it was remarkably easy to set up---even for an old low-tech man like me.

Does not work. No instructions with product. Had to search internet to find something. After doing everything, it will not detect the SD card no matter what I do. Tried reformatting the card. Still err message. Do NOT buy this camera. One of the worst things I have ever bought with respect totalLack of any instructions.

This is an older version of the defender. It does NOT have the LCD screen which is pictured. It has the old screen. I cannot get it to work.
