New cam out by browning. I'm considering one but is it too much?

Only a one year warranty, takes expensive cr123 batteries. The idea is cool, but the warranty alone turns me off, especially since they probably want an arm and a leg for it

 

[Milo]

I can get them reasonable...

Hell that ain't bad

How does this cam work? Through cell phone provider? It says wifi or Bluetooth. Doesn't make sense to me

 

[Milo]

No it's not a bad price and. Browning cameras have been pretty impressive at times

 

[Milo]

I think it puts out its own wifi and Bluetooth signs that you can pair your phone with. Then access the card and camera settings

 

[Bigslam51]

So it sounds like this isn't a true wireless camera since it has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Wouldn't you have to be in range of the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to get a signal?

 

[Diablo54]

Bluetooth only works 15 feet or so. And a wifi signal maybe 50. I'm confused what the point is

Sounds like a battery drainer to me. Plus you're gonna have to be pretty damn close to the camera, and sit there for a while if you have many pics to download. Unless you've got them right behind the house, I just don't see the benefit.

60 yards!?!

An expensive battery drainer, those cr123 ain't cheap!

Powerful battery's though. My good flash lights take cr123's

 

[Milo]

The Bluetooth range depends on the unit. 30-100 feet depending on the unit. In a lot of places I don't have a cell phone signal so the phone units are useless

Yes they are 1.00 a piece ... mine cr123 in my buckeye cam lasted 10 years

But if your going to be at a maximum of 33 yards from it why not walk up to it and flip cards? I'm not getting it

Because I won't have to cross a deer path or put scent on the camera by the trail. The 80 foot detection range is good too. 120 foot flash

Our Dist has 17 in stock but none in the Dayton location for local pickup so would have to pay their rather high shipping charge.
I wonder if the rechargeable CR123A batteries would work OK? Some equipment won't work well on rechargeable batteries.
Thinking on it.
