Product Reviews

TOO BAD the photos are terribly DARK !

Poor quality exposures in the day time photos because they are very dark. I called Bushnell and they looked at my pictures and said sorry but thats what you get with all the new Trophy Cams. There is no longer the standard adjustment in the advanced settings to control the amount of light needed to brighten the day time pictures. Previous model cameras had the High, Medium and Low settings. Now you have to manually adjust every picture on a computer program to lighten them up enough to see any important detail. Their quality is so poor I have to return it. The night time pictures are very grainy. The range, videos and trigger speed were real good. Photos would be good if only they weren’t so dark..TOO BAD !!!

Good surveillance video camera

There are several Bushnell Trail Cameras available here. You have a choice of No-Glow or Low-Glow and a choice of 14MP, 20MP, or 24MP resolution. All of these look the same in appearance except for the camouflaged models. Read the description carefully to assure you are getting what you wish.I tested this No-Glow 20MP model in the sunny outdoors and with all lights extinguished indoors. It provided excellent videos in both modes. I was surprised to see some tiny flying insects are present indoors. They show up brightly in the video. My only gripe is the on-off switch is too small. You do need to furnish eight AA batteries and a 32GB SD card.

Three Stars

not for me

Quality issues with cameras

I bought 15 of these cameras for a research project. I am a wildlife biologist that has used Bushnell trophy cams for research for years. The previous model of trophy cam worked well, this model has all kinds of issues. We had several cameras reset the date and time randomly throughout their deployment in the field, one camera stopped working after an hour, and 4 of them did not take a picture after a battery change in the field. Plus the user has no control over video settings, which is ridiculous. 7 out of the 12 cameras we set out in the woods had some kind of failure. I will be trying to buy the previous version of this camera on Amazon until Bushnell figures out how to work out the kinks (again).

Don’t buy for video because lacks basic controls that the documentation says it has

I would rate this 1 star except the quality of the images is great for both night and day. However, there’s no control of the video. In the documentation on page 15 it says there should be a Video Length option but it doesn’t appear in the menu. I have the camera placed by a fox den. As far as I can tell, the moment there is a lack of movement (a sniff at the ground, a play bow, walking out of the frame) it triggers the end of that “shot” and records for 5 more seconds and ends abruptly no matter what’s happening. The only time I’ve gotten longer than 10 seconds is when 3 foxes were wrestling in the frame the whole time, and then it ended at 15 seconds even though the action didn’t stop. Incredibly frustrating.

Battery life is excellent long lasting

Own several different bushnell tyrophy cams aggressors etc. over many years , they all work exceptionally well. You do however have to read follow and understand the very basic simple directions. Battery life is excellent long lasting.video length is fine at 10 sec. ( not designed for feature length home movies / videography) which would take up mega gig on s/d card. I have several other brands moultrie cuddeback, game spy etc. . All work okay.. but the bushnells are by far my favorite for dependable long lasting trail cams. Bushnell customer service is also top shelf.. as they replaced cameras when batteries leaked… and Duracell replaced the batteries and gave me credit towards a replacement camera which was no longer under warranty.
