Overview

The Browning Spec Ops Edge builds on the success of the Spec Ops Advantage, which was incredibly popular before it was discontinued, and is one step below the most recent Spec Ops Elite HP5. This great value wildlife camera is an excellent choice for those looking to record wildlife in superb quality.

It has a faster trigger speed, improved day and night video, clearer audio and some extra menu options compared to the previous version. Detection and sensitivity have also been improved, along with a faster trigger speed to boot.

One big new feature is the addition of 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.

Many of these improvements are thanks to an upgrade to the iCatch V35MA processor. Trigger speeds, particularly for videos, are very impressive and quick, at an improved 0.2-0.4 seconds – a stat that few can match (regardless of what the manufacturers tell you!).

Trigger speeds, particularly for videos, are very impressive and quick, at an improved 0.2-0.5 seconds – a stat that few can match. Detection is reliable and consistent.

The build quality and overall design of the camera is excellent and has had some improvements, with a forward-facing 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 Spec Ops Edge is also straightforward to use – uncomplicated, without a vast array of settings, but quick and simple. The only difference between this and the Recon Force Edge is that this camera has no-glow, rather than low-glow, LEDs.

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.

Also taking into consideration the price of the camera, we feel it’s a fantastic choice for nearly every purpose – therefore we give the Browning Spec Ops Edge 9 out of 10.
