Overview

The Browning Patriot is a completely new addition to Browning’s range.

The headline features are a 2 built-in sensor and lens arrays, and Browning say that the night sensors are military-grade, leading to superior night imagery compared to other trail cameras.

The Patriot also offers super-quick trigger speeds, 1080p full HD video definition and long-range detection.

One welcome feature is a start and stop programmable timer – allowing you to set when you want the camera to be active, and avoid those times when the pigeons are in the garden, or the cat is let out etc – essentially, so you can focus on the wildlife.

Trigger speeds, particularly for videos, are very impressive and quick, at around 0.15-0.3 seconds – a stat that few can match (regardless of what the manufacturers tell you!).

The build quality and overall design of the camera is strong, with a forward-facing 2-inch colour screen to help with set up and so you can review images/videos without dismounting the camera in the field. The warranty length in the UK through NatureSpy is 2 years.

The Patriot, despite its high-end features, is also straightforward to use – uncomplicated, without a vast array of settings, but quick and simple.

Due to it’s 12V power system (the reason night footage is so good), night time videos are limited to 20 seconds per clip. However, if activity remains, the camera can recover in under 1 second and record another 20 second clip.
