Hey Joe The Farmer! Can we get a follow up review on the DEFENDER PRO SCOUT MAX with some photos or videos. I am curious as to how bright the IR is on this camera. Thanks for the awesome reviews on all the cameras.
Unless I missed it, I checked your list of videos and did not see a follow-up video on how well this camera functioned. Any news on how well it did? Thanks!
@@JoeTheFarmer believe it or not, I don’t hunt. We’ve always leased our land to hunting clubs. I have trail cameras for security and I sometimes get awesome pictures of our local wildlife.
Totally get it. I like them for just seeing life on the property too. I can’t tell you how many times I hunt and never even think of a shot. I just enjoy seeing what the Lord created. I do however like some venison chili and summer sausage with some spicy mustard! Sometimes the decision makes itself! Lol
I picked up two of the Browning Defender cams two weeks ago at Tractor Supply for $129.99. So far so good, I really like them, especially the night images and battery life. Good luck this fall Joe, I feel like you will kill a monster this year !
I need help please Joe the farmer I can’t choose I have a need for a cam covert as i get loads diffrent birds hawks even and antisocial behaviour gos on so sort of a security cam i can hide in the garden
Hey Mark, thanks for watching. I would say anything with a video mode and good battery would be fine. If you don’t need cell coverage my opinion would change; however I would go with the Browning in this video. It has been great
Just bought the defender pro scout max today at tractor supply. Hope I did alright! I have 2 tactacams in the woods and 2 muddy. Any updates on this brother?
@@JoeTheFarmer I will be honest with you. I was really torn on the browning or the tactacam X pro. Having already owning 2 tactacam reveals that are flawless the decision was not easy. The night I got the browning home I tried to connect it and it said the camera was registered already to another name. I am guessing that meant it had been returned to the store. I messed with it for 2 hours with no success and took it as a sign. I returned it yesterday after Church and advised TSC of the issue I had. I then went and purchased the Tactacam X pro from Walmart. I am like you, I run a lot of cameras mostly year around. I have heard nothing but great things about browning and at some point I will prob pick up a few of the non cell cams. Love your videos brother! Keep it up! My 2 treeline TSC cameras are amazing for the 59 dollar price tag. Thanks for recommending them!
He man! I actually have an X Pro in a box ready to test so I look forward to getting some intel on it. The Browning you bought def sounds like it was a return or a card error or something. Glad you could return it. And appreciate your kind words on our channel! I love doing it and it's fun to meet people that like the things we do. Let me know what you think of the X Pro, I need to get it set up and get working with it but we are in season now so I VERY seldom go into the hunting ground unless I am hunting it. Good luck out there brother and keep me posted!
I know u just put this video out, but u liking the defender pro scout max? It is between that one of the stealthcams, fusion x or reactor. Do you like the browning strike force app? Leaning towards pro scout max, looks like a better monthly plan with browning. Your thoughts so far vs fusion x? Also the dual sim seems good, can you change between carriers to test the signals before activation? Thanks for the vid.
Hey Jordan, I really do like it. The battery savings alone almost pays for the plan compared to some. If I had to go out today and buy a camera, it’s the pro scout max. Solid camera! Thanks for watching!
I have had a strike force HD out for 4 years. I replace the batteries about every year and a half. Regular copper tops. It’s been in the UV so long it’s faded white. lol. Still great pic quality. I don’t know anything about their cell cam. You’ll have to let me know how it is compared to the Tactacams. Congrats again on your buck
Hey buddy! Thanks for the congrats, still on cloud 9. Will be a great video. It’s almost done. I honestly don’t like the Tactacam. They are good out of the gate but they miss may too many photos. Ill drive or walk by and get nothing. The Brownings are solid man. I too have a few faded white HD’s! Great little cameras and they use very little power. Hope you get a biggun this year brother! I’ll be the first to congratulate you. 👍🏼👊🏼
@@JoeTheFarmer haha thanks brother. Been cat and mouse with a big 10 for 4 years. So far the wind is winning. I’ll look at this camera. Are the data plans reasonable? Can’t wait to see the video brother!!
You will get him! Sometimes just takes them making one mistake. This camera is solid and the data plans are reasonable when running a few. Good thing is that they are durable. Video should be up in a few days! Still can’t believe it happened.
Awesome video! I'm about to put my trail cams out this weekend also We've used Spy point cell cameras for the pass 3-4 years My cousin wasn't trying to get me to switch to Cuddeback trail cameras. You can link up to 24 cameras and have one cell service plan .. 🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩
I guess I should get some cameras. I’m not necessarily a horn hunter but like to have plenty of meat in the freezer. Those 90lb does are generally tasty
👍👌 Great video Joe! I am not too happy right now. I’m in the middle of buck season and my Stealth Cam Fusion is giving up the ghost. I completed my warranty replacement request. Trying to decide where to go from here🤷🏼♂️ Browning is sounding pretty good!!😎🇺🇸🚜 🦌
Man; I have been there. They all have issues but the Browning have been the most reliable by far. I’ve had a bunch die, but Browning’s have been solid and their warranty (I think) is 2 years.
I put stripes on my mustang shouldn't be to hard to put wrap on if you don't care about quality. My trail cam is my windows my night cam comes on usually when I'm sleeping🐶. This is the first year they started to tear up my lawn and it just started looking nice. We live close to Tim's ford about a quarter mile a lot of deer 🦌 here.
Hey Miles! So the deer are tearing up your lawn? We were at Tim’s Ford lake a couple weeks ago. Beautiful place for sure. If you need some thinning pf the herd we can help out! Lol. Appreciate you watching buddy and we have a lot of videos coming out the next few days so keep in touch!
Hey buddy! Yeah, they are solid man. Unless you step up to the high dollar cameras I think they are the best for the money. Built like tanks and miss fewer pics than the other brands imo.
@@JoeTheFarmer Middle of July I bought my first tactacam reveal and put it out. I have over 9800 pics on it since then. On my second card and several battery changes and so far it has been my favorite camera I have ran. I seen you ran into an issue with yours though.
They seem to be good out of the gate; but it really comes down to build and how they handle the weather. I was running 4 and two are dead from moisture. They just aren’t built as well. Also, the browning uses a high quality processor so it consumes less battery (per an industry manufacturer). I am in no way “Team Browning” because they sent me some cameras. In our experience at the $100-$150 price point they have been the best.
Not sure what to think. I found these in stock at Tractor Supply but the reviews are discouraging. 11 five star reviews to 8 one star reviews and a handful in between.
Hard to tell man. Call cams make a lot of people man when they don’t know how to set up, etc. I just bought a StealthCam Reactor at TSC for $20 because “it doesn’t work”. Updated the software and now works great. I can tell you; I am personally very happy with Browning.
@@JoeTheFarmer It appears the bad reviews came from people who had problems with the app or the cellular feature and support. They seem credible, (literate and articulated their issue). It gets tricky with carrier options, ios vs. android, firmware updates along the way, or possibly production changes. For example, yours might have a chip set different than latter production runs with the same model number because of supply issues. As you said, hard to tell! I've had good luck with Browning branded products, and although not a cellular unit, I couldn't help but notice the stellar reviews for their Dark Ops camera. But, if not cellular, I'd at least like a wifi unit since it takes a ladder to set up some of the best camera angles on my place. I wouldn't mind checking cameras on an electric bike purchased with the savings from a few years of cellular fees that I didn't have to pay while not hauling a ladder around at the same time. 😄 I guess we'll see what I figure out. Somewhat off topic but something you might find interesting... I am planning to run some traps beginning in fall and this will be the first year I fly a drone to check traps. My drone has a programmable waypoint flight path feature where it will literally fly itself and position itself to snap pictures autonomously. If only DJI made trail cameras that could upload to the drone via wifi. I'd be all in for something like that! Thanks for the vid on this one. Good stuff on a good channel. Subscribed.
@@jimmyyounger618 When app crashes and you can't sign up is a joke. Sign in all day long on computer but you can't add camera. Maybe one day someone will come out with a cellular camera that actually works like it should and set up is easy and the app works like it should. Until then going back to spypoint. Camera will work for at least two years.
Ok, you lost me when you said “going back to SPYPOINT”. You are either a bot, work for SPYPOINT or are a glutton for punishment. SPYPOINT is by far the worst camera on the market.
@@JoeTheFarmer Not a bot, really don't like Spypoint! But never had one that was hard to set up or connect to to the Network. SpyPoint after the warranty runs out it's just a matter of time before camera stops working. This year I said I will try a different cameras. This is the third Browning camera, App is bad, 36 hours later still no network connection. Do you have Network connection???
I have never seen such a pile of junk... I was setting it up and I kept getting ICCID # has already been used and the ECEI # has already been used... I spent 4 hrs trying to figure out what in hell was going on... I took it back to Tractor Supply and the lady gave me back my money in full and literally threw the game cam in the garbage...That told me all I needed to know about the Browning game cams...
These cameras are a joke. 1. You can't sign up. 2. App crashes. 3 Good luck scanning QR code. Cell Cameras today are a complete joke. Save your money and your sanity and wait till they get their shpt together. wasted whole week on BS camera!
I had a pretty seamless experience man. They all definitely have their issues, but for a little over $100 I don’t expect much more than 80% transmission. Static cams are definitely a better value and take more consistent photos…but I have had a great experience with Browning and I have tried a bunch.

Nice video boys it's trail cam time! Those are some nice accessories. Happy Friday!!
Thanks buddy! Wish you were there to help!!!

Great Video Joe!
I caught an 8 point buck and a Red Fox on my trail cam here in East Lauderdale Alabama.
Heck yeah man!!! Is the 8 pt your target buck?

Apps crashing can't even sign up, how are you getting pictures?
I need help please Joe the farmer I can’t choose

What does the monthely fee run?
Its about $10 per camera for a decent amount of pics.

Hey man! Super happy with them. The weather is a whoooole different story! I think you will be happy with them man. They have been solid so far

Heck yeah they are! I can kill a booner and my wife doesn’t care. Kill a nice doe and she is ready for chili. 😂
