[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5410079, member: 1409"] The Brownings vs the Ridgetecs: Each brand has some pros & cons over the other. Both are web based programs (can view pics instantly on your computer), and both additionally simultaneously work on your smart phone. Ongoing costs of monthly cell service is a little less with Ridgetec. Browning battery life is far superior. Ridgetec has far more programming features than Browning. One feature I use a lot on Ridgetec is the field scan mode (where maybe you program the cell cam to simply daily take a [U]non-triggered[/U] pic every minute in say the last hour of daylight}. Field scan mode is mainly of value on large food plots, fields, and for security purposes. The learning curve on figuring out how to do everything is a little longer on the Ridgetecs, as so much of "how" they do things is just different from Tactacam & Browning. But after I figured it out, I actually like Ridgetec's way much better. One thing Ridgetec's programming offers is the ability to do[I] SCHEDULED[/I] uploads as often as every 5 minutes (24/7) without the need for "instant" uploads. "[U]Scheduled[/U]" uploads greatly increase battery life over "immediate" uploads. By comparison, Browning will only allow [U]scheduled[/U] uploads up to 6 times daily (such as every 4 hrs, 24/7). Tactacam will only allow [U]scheduled[/U] uploads up to 2 times daily (every 12 hrs). Another thing I typically do is have my [U]settings changing twice daily[/U], where I have [U]during the day[/U], more pics per triggering event, triggering events closer together, [U]then at night[/U], fewer pics per triggering event, triggering events farther apart. This alone can increase battery life 50% by my estimate! (I cannot do this with Tactacams because they are unreliable to make the changes.) [/QUOTE]
