Browning Defender Wireless Review
The Defender Wireless is an AT&T cellular trail camera that takes good pictures, has a fast detection circuit, and utilizes a well-built case design. Night pictures are a little blurry and the battery life is only average, outside of that, this is one of our favorite cell cameras for 2020. - TCP Staff

The Browning Defender Wireless AT&T uses an 4G/LTE Cinterion ELS61-US module that allows this camera to operate on AT&T 4G/LTE towers. It is backwards compatible and should work on 2G/3G towers while they are still active.
The Browning Defender Wireless transmits photos to an app on your phone (or their website). It is also capable of sending a limited number of videos, if you pay for their more premium data plans. For more information on data plan costs, see the "Quality of Design" section of this review.

Flash Type: No Glow IR
Day pictures are typical of Browning trail cameras. They are bright, with excellent color, and well above average clarity. Night pictures have good flash range and contrast, but do display blurring on any animal with movement. This is a no glow game trail camera, so that is expected to a certain extent, however, the blurring is noticeable on any animal that isn't still.
Keep in mind, these images are from the SD card. Transmitted images will be compressed and smaller (to save you data costs). You can transmit a limited amount of HD resolution images, depending on the data plan you choose (see Quality of Design section of this review).
