JCM's Review of Bushnell Impulse Trail Camera
After going through about a dozen of these cameras, I have three that are working flawlessly. The others were all either returned to the retailer or went to Bushnell for evaluation and eventual replacement. The thumbnail photos are more than adequate for most instances and when you want just a little more detail you can download a high-resolution with a click of a virtual button using either PC or phone app. Same for videos. You get a thumbnail of the first frame and if it is of interest download the video at whatever resolution the camera was set at when the video recorded. I'd now give these cameras five stars if the billing and data used sections of the on-line apps was not so confusing & the data plans more flexible...and it has become virtually impossible to get through to customer service in a single call. Having said that, once you do eventually reach a human being they are friendly, professional and happy to get your issue(s) resolved. The data plans could be greatly improved if unused data from a month gets rolled forward for future use. Instead, use it or lose it is the rule. I'm also experiencing an issue with discrepancies on which camera(s) have a monthly plan and which have an "annual" plan. Bushnell needs a separate line for billing issues.
Pros:
- Photo Quality is Great
- Video Quality is Great
- Wireless Uploads can be set to "quick" or "daily"...knowing that "quick" burns more data.
- All camear settings can be done from phone or PC app.
- Photo on Demand
Cons:
- No rollover data, use it or lose it
- Customer Service Lines are Jammed
Best Used for:
- Feeder Camera (if legal in your state)
- Trail Camera
- Security Camera at Entrance to Your Land
Would Recommend:
Yes
