- I have been getting a lot of questions about which settings I use with my Browning trail cameras, so here you go. I hope these tips help. Let me know in the comment section what you're trying to get pictures or videos of with your trail camera and if you have any more questions. My favorite Browning model is the Recon Force Advantage.
I'm a viewer and not someone who personally would use that information, but i just wanted to thank you very much for being so kind, thiughtful, and generous to provide tips to people who could use them!
My pleasure 👍
thanks for the setting tips, my trail cam is at the post office ready for pick up when it's open
Good luck!
Great video Mike! I use the same settings in my trail camera videos as well, all except for the length. My video length remains at I minute because I have had a lot of action continuous and animals returning or other animals following. Love the lithium’s they truly are the best for your money. Again keep up the awesome trail camera videos!
Thanks! Will do. 👍
Saving this one for when I get my new trail cam...Thanks.
👍
@@Michael.Outside So I take a look at my videos from last night and this am.all black with city lights, and all pink hue during the morning...
Good advice. Not sure how you're concluding that lithium is less expensive however...than what...alkaline? I use 2800mAh rechargeable NiMH batts in these Browning cameras and they work great. If I were leaving my cams out for many months they probably wouldn't be enough, but for checking every 3-4 weeks they work great, and obviously rechargeable 100s of times...so much cheaper (and less waste) than lithiums IF you're going to be checking your cams every couple of weeks rather than longer-term.
I’ve heard about a lot of issues with rechargeables in cold weather. I still might try them.
Great video 😀. I have one and very happy with it.
Thank you for watching.
That'was interesting learn something new everyday!! Thank you 🤗 🖐️
No problem 👍
@@Michael.Outside have fun & safe Journeys for those of us that are older !!👣🎭☯️
Great video for newbies like me 👍
Awesome 👍
Great videos! Which trail camera would you purchase today?
If I wanted videos, I’d buy a Browning Recon Force Elite HP5.
Thanks Michael, have you ever had your cameras stolen or vandalized?
Yes. I use locks now. Python cable locks.
Just subscribed!! If you were to buy any camera, with money not an object, what would your choice be? Night pics and video not important. Pictures and film being used for our local conservancy. Thank you!
Thanks for following along. I think the Browning Recon Force Elite HP5 is hard to beat for video. Stealthcam also makes some great cameras.
I found that the instructions were very detailed and easy to understand that came in the box. But people will make a video of how to fart...lol
Lol. I get questions all the time, especially about which settings to use.
Nice! Thanks for the info 👍
No problem
What size SD card do you use? I’m thinking a lot of videos would use a smaller card up.
I recommend 32.
Thanks for the tips. Have you had any problems with the smart IR video continuing to video when the camera detects movement from wind blowing branches or grass around? I'm just getting started with trail cameras, using 3 Stealth cams, which don't have that Smart IR video function. At first I thought it sounded like a really cool option, but I would be afraid in a storm it could cause the camera to record video continuously. I have had a problem with the cameras triggering video after video, from wind blown branches though, and have learned to be really careful about not setting the cameras where wind blown vegetation could cause the problem. The first time I had it happen there was a bush about 30 feet away that started whipping around in a storm, and triggered the camera several hundred times in a row. One option the Stealth cam has that I like is you can set it to record video and take a series of photos at the same time during the video.
I always hated trail cams, because around here there are cameras at nearly every tank. I hate feeling like I'm constantly being videoed everytime I'm near a waterhole. But now, after watching yours and other's trail cam videos on CZcams, I'm hooked! I can't wait to check my cameras, and find new places to set them up. I'm trying to find less obvious places than water holes to set them at, so I'm not getting as good of video as I could be. I am getting lots of elk and deer, coyotes and javalina a few times, but little else. One quick glimpse of a bear, but no lions or bobcats yet.
Keep those excellent videos coming.
I’ve had it happen sometimes but this camera is pretty good at not triggering on branches and such. I also try to set it up so that that’s not an issue. I avoid blowing grass and branches in front of the camera for the most part. I would avoid manmade waterholes. You’ll get cooler stuff maybe on the trails leading to them. Try walking a half mile or so away or finding hidden natural pools. Thanks so much for watching.
You and I think alike on these settings. I set everything the same as you. Hard to beat the Browning cameras. Have you used the micro camera? I was just curious how just having 6 batteries holds up. I use nothing but Lithium batteries. Cheaper in the long run and they pretty much last me a year even in video mode which is what I set my camera on.
I have not tried the micro camera. I’m picky with my video quality and the only cameras I trust are the HP5 and the advantage. Thanks for the nice comment.
Hi fela,can I ask if there's any cons to using the FW upgrade,just not sure whether to use it or not,my spec ops doesn't seem to record video at night, haven't tried photo at night so not sure if that works.
Howdy. I haven’t used the Spec Ops. I’ve actually never used any firmware updates on any of my cameras, so I can’t really speak intelligently to them. But if your camera isn’t working at night, maybe it’s worth a try. If you got a lemon camera, hopefully browning will work with you.
Thanks fela much appreciated 👍👍 ,is a great video very helpful.
Hi,
Thanks for thieses advices. I was looking for tips because I very often have a white veil on my night video. I wonder why because there is no mist during the night concerned. I had IR on long range, but I had a bush juste 4m away. I'll try on economy range. I have the BTC-8A
Hmmm. Even if there is no mist, there can be enough humidity to do that. I'd have to watch the video to make a guess at what's causing it.
Great video, I have the same settings on my cameras. My question is about the Recon Force 4k. Would you recommend it, or is the 1080p 60 fps better?
The 4K is not good. Stick with the Recon Force Advantage. If you can’t find it get the Recon Force Elite HP4.
@@Michael.Outside Thank you!
No problem
Thanks for the video. This year we started doing trail camera videos. Sometimes because of a windy day, the sd card fills up or the battery gets drained. What do you do to reduce the number of videos caused by wind? I don’t really want to reduce the sensitivity and miss some neat videos, and sometimes it’s difficult to set up without bushes etc around that can easily trigger the camera on a windy day.
I pick setups that aren’t going to get a lot of blowing grass and such. I also use lithium batteries and 128 GB SD cards in case I do get a lot of triggers from the wind. I hope that helps some.
@@Michael.Outside Thanks! The camera I currently use can only take a 32 gb card so I can't do much about that, but could try lithium batteries and see if I can adjust the location set up.
About the best thing to do is cut down things in front of the camera that wind will blow. Also close limbs above the camera will set it off and need cut. I really have done best facing my cameras as much north as you can. Sun on your camera lens makes wind issues worse.
Hi Michel - great video. We just got a new Browning Trail Cam and followed your instructions. However, we cannot get it to activate (even in our living room). Is there something basic missing or do we have a lemon? Test mode activated the light (but didn't record). We can't get any pictures or video recording. thanks
That’s odd. I’ve never had any issues. Maybe try a different type of battery? Browning should send you a new one if you contact them and send it back.
What do you think about rechargeable lithium?
Never tried rechargeable but I do like lithium batteries
Good help, thanks. Why is my camera not recording at night?
I’m not sure. Did you mess with any of the timer settings?
@@Michael.Outside I don’t think so, but I’ll look and get back to you. We have a lot of night life, so there should be something. It was recording at night then stopped. Thanks, Michael.
Oh I bet it’s low battery. Sometimes when the battery starts giving out it will first stop recording night videos. Try new batteries.
@@Michael.Outside I will do that today. You specified Energizer alkaline, so I’ll pick some up. Thanks again for your help, Michael!
I use Energizer Ultimate Lithium now.
Hi, hoping you can help me..To review my pics I used to be able to hit the left button and look at them. But right now, all it does is keeps showing DELAY display button and keeps taking a picture after delay countdown. Says there's pictures but it won't show me, it just starts the whole cycle again 🤪
What brand of camera?
I did something wrong. Had mine out for a month did not take any videos. It had a capture time setting i left it alone. Idk what im doing wrong. I have the BTC-5PXD model. Any advice?
I need to know your settings. Is there a particular part of the manual that doesn’t make sense? You may have had a big capture delay setting or something. Did it take any photos?
@@Michael.Outside No the Manual is pretty straight forward is there a way I can contact you via Instagram or Facebook?
Yes. Michaeloutside on IG.
Does Smart IR affect the camera's night vision ability?
No. All smart IR is doing is telling the camera to keep recording if it thinks something is there. There isn’t a hardware difference.
@@Michael.Outside thx. I keep getting images on the darker side of things and was just what setting would lighten things up a bit.
Unfortunately you can’t really change the image that way. The camera makes a decision based on the exposure like your smart phone would. You can try photo editing software. Or if you think the camera is defective you can ask Browning to fix it.
@@Michael.Outside I've had a few good shooting nights, I think turning off the HDR (HP5) helps. I'll try the default settings.
How many price this cemero?
I have seen them for as low as $140
so this isnt wireless with your phone
No
I had to stop the video, at the 1:50 mark... when the title is for browning trail camera, then you tell us to look the video quality up? amateur hour!!
Because it depends on the model of camera you have. I could’ve said the specs for this model but the video was about general settings for all Brownings.
