Browning Trail Cameras Dark Ops HD Max with Card Reader

I wanted an inexpensive security camera to monitor our pool area. This works great and is easy to use. I like the feature that it overwrites older images, so that you don't have to worry about it running out of room. We've been using it for about two months and the batteries shows 3/4 charge. Daytime pictures are pretty sharp. Nighttime pictures are a bit blurry with movement.

Night photos are not good at only 30 feet, I doubt it could handle the advertised 60 to 80 feet. Day photos are good. I could not get it to see me beyond about 40 feet in daylight, it would not even register motion at 60 or 80 feet. I would not purchase again.

Was delivered quickly! Great quality pictures!

This camera takes decent daylight pictures, but forget it in the dark. Either I got a defective unit or it is just a poor performer. I contacted Browning customer service regarding my problems as it was beyond the time to return. Rep had an attitude and was not helpful. I sent some examples of poor performance via email per his request. I have yet to hear back from them. I contacted Browning prior to ordering and asked for a specific recommendation for good night performance. This camera was one of the 2 suggested. It is Junk. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Most things about this camera are really great. The case quality is good, the sensor takes great video. My issue with this thing is it doesn't allow you to take videos at night that are longer than 20 seconds. I called the company about it and was told that if it recorded more than 20 seconds, the batteries would fail in a few minutes. There is a power adapter jack on the bottom. The company makes a solar charger and an external battery pack for it. Will either of these let me increase the length of the videos? Nope, sorry. Do they offer any sort of software that allows me to stitch the 79 20-second videos together into a single video? Nope, sorry again. Do they offer an AC adapter? I have the camera on my front porch, right next to an outlet. Nope, sorry. I'm out of luck. I was told that I could buy a generic ac adapter but to make sure that it doesn't provide too many amps, otherwise it would blow up the camera (no mention of the polarity of the power plug or any understanding of Ohm's law). I continue to search for a camera to fit my needs.

Ordered 4 Camera's had to return 1 immediately do to faulty SD Card Slot. Received Replacement Camera after one use same issue.

I really hate this camera. The programming is not user friendly and very confusing. Buy something else.

Will randomly take very foggy/hazy videos, even on clear nights/days.
