One Star
Not so impressed with operation.
Five Stars
So far so good. Great detection range and quality images.
My Favorite
I have five different types of trail cameras but this is by far my favorite. I like the camo pattern, the photo quality and even the way it opens. All my future trail cameras will be this one. I’m finished shopping around.
perfect pictures day and night
perfect pictures day and night. I now have 4 Bushnell trail cams in service and am very happy about the quality and…the long battery life compared to other brands,
Five Stars
So far so good. Couldn’t be happier.
Dynamic Video FAIL, small battery capacity, STUNNING STILLS
I had such high hopes for this High Definition Bushnell Trophy Cam HD Aggressor Low Glow “Camo” camera.I have several Bushnell cams and have loved them all, particularly the Nature View which gets me very close to the subject. They are all consistent in their performance and setup menu is the same for each so you don’t even have to “think” about the settings, just scroll through and pick your custom performance settings. UNTIL NOW:Why did I get the 24MP Trophy Cam? Well, for the fast shutter response and High Definition images and video. So I can observe how live catch traps work, how feeders perform, how squirrel proof deterrents perform or don’t. THIS was going to be THE tool for those studies.Let’s start with what I do like about it.Sharp day time photos, large, clear with some good stop-action images. Quick shutter/image capture. Daytime.. YES, Night-Time just average stills.I like the camo finish, it does hide the camera better than the solid green bodies and the brown bodies of other Bushnell cams, so that was nice.Audio is pretty darn good, I can hear the birds chirping, general nature sounds, animals walking in brush.Now, this is how Bushnell completely let me down with this version of their Trophy Cams:1- They changed the batteries! This unit only accepts 8 AA batteries and they are no longer retained with the snap out bar across, so the batteries are hard to put in and take out, you’ll need some long fingernails or a tiny screwdriver to get them out of that snug clipped battery compartment. I use AA Eneloop Panasonic Rechargeable Batteries and they are under greater demand with the higher res video and still images. Made no sense at all to step down from 12 AA batteries in other models, to just 8 for this version.2- Night still images are highly pixelated and borderline terrible, larger due to the pixel count, but lower in noise quality than prior models. Night Video is ultra clear!3- My biggest problem with this camera is the “Dynamic” Video. You no longer get to select the length of video the camera will record. Dynamic simply means that the camera decides how long to run the video based on activity in front of the camera. Day, night, dusk, dawn, that single restriction has failed me over and over again. At night, the video only records a max of 15 seconds to prevent over-heating with the video demand and illumination load on the batteries. If you get 15 seconds, you’re doing good. I have live catch trap videos where the video cut out prematurely, missing the trap function again and again. During daylight, the same thing, with the animal within 10 feet, you get maybe 10 to 15 seconds and it stops recording regardless of how active the small animal was. This happens even with the sensor sensitivity set to High.Looks good, small battery capacity, poor quality night still images, astoundingly frustrating dynamic video length control.Dear Bushnell, please bring back two things- 12 or more AA battery capacity and custom controls over video length.
Dynamic Video doesn’t work well
I have several Bushnell trail cams, as well as two other brands. I always liked the picture quality of Bushnell the best. Unfortunately I had to return this camera. I bought it for the “dynamic video” feature – it is supposed to take the video as long as the subject remains in front of the camera. But it doesn’t. Instead, it took a series of 5-sec videos of my cat grooming herself. I called the company, and they walked me through the software update. It did improve it. For instance, one can now set the camera to do up to a one-minute video (before you could not set a video length, and had to depend on the Dynamic feature). But I bought this camera for the Dynamic video feature, because I never know how long to set my video length for. After the software update, it did take longer videos. I tested it on me. I stood in front of the camera for a couple of minutes, but it wouldn’t take more than a 30-second video of me, several of them.. But that night the camera caught a rabbitt hopping around in front of the camera – and it took eight 5-second videos of it. grrrr. I’ve exchanged for the Bushnell 20 MP which also advertises a dynamic video. Hope it works better.
Nice camera, not perfect.
Works well, but the in-camera video playback scrambles the bottom of the screen like an old poorly-tracked VHS tape. Videos are fine when viewed on computer, so not a big deal.
Good product
just as advertised, would recommend to anyone!
Didn’t Last Long!
I bought this elsewhere to avoid the taxes Amazon collects. Bought in April and set up in late May. Initially it worked great, but by early July it recorded nothing.
and this model is a nice improvement over the last generation
I finally know who’s in my yard at night… Foxes, deer, mountain lions … does what it’s meant to do, and this model is a nice improvement over the last generation.
No Happy
Takes very clean day shots, was impressive, but does not work well with night videos. Did work for two weeks then stopped. The batteries show that they are still strong.
Works Well
