The Defender Pro Scout Max Solar is a fantastic photo camera, capturing high-quality images quickly thanks to its 0.25-second trigger speed. It also records and transmits 1080p HD video with audio.
All captures are saved in full quality to the SD card, while transmitted versions are compressed for faster uploads. The camera also supports on-demand photo and video capture via the app – perfect for checking activity at key sites.
Solar Power
The Defender Pro Scout Max Solar comes with the new Micro-Solar Panel Battery Pack included, helping to keep the camera powered for longer and reducing the need for battery changes – ideal for remote or hard-to-access locations.
No-Glow LEDs
The Defender Pro Scout Max Solar features no-glow LEDs that are almost completely invisible to humans. This makes the camera ideal where theft or general security is a consideration.
Great for Security
The no-glow LEDs provide invisible night-time illumination, making the camera ideal for discreet security use and the Smart IR video setting allows recording to continue while movement is still detected in front of the camera.
Easy setup, full control
Getting started is simple – Browning’s menus are straightforward and intuitive, and setup is quick whether you're using the screen or the Strike Force Wireless app. You can control everything remotely: check battery life, view signal strength, manage your SD card, or request a photo or video – all from your phone.
GPS Tracking
Captured images are GPS-tagged, making it easy to track where species have been detected – especially useful for deployments on large sites or where multiple cameras are required.
