Our Verdicts

Browning Recon Force Elite HP5 Trail Camera (24MP, RADIANT 5)

Buy it if you care most about video — 1080p/60 with sound and 130 ft illumination is unmatched in an SD cam. If you need full covertness, the no-glow Strike Force Pro X is the better match.

Browning Strike Force Pro X 1080 Trail Camera (24MP)

The SD-cam image-quality and battery-life benchmark for serious hunters who don't want a subscription. You pay up for a Browning, but the reliability and night photos justify it.
