Source: trailcampro.com (verified 2026-07-10) · corroborated by naturespy.org. TrailCamPro's product page (titled "Browning Recon Force Elite HP5 (Non-Cellular)", Model #BTC-7E-HP5, "the 2022 Recon Force Elite HP5") confirms the exact model — not the current 46 MP/1440p HP5 Ultra sibling nor the no-glow Spec Ops HP5 — and lists 24 mpxl (interpolated) photos, 1920x1080 (1080p) MP4 video, Red Glow IR (mapped to low_glow), 8 AA batteries, and the "$179.95" sale price used as the US retail figure. NatureSpy's dated Nov 25 2022 deep-dive corroborates the 2022 Recon Force Elite HP5 low-glow variant: up-to-24 MP interpolated photos, 1920x1080 full HD video, low-glow LEDs with a dim red glow, "Long (100ft)" detection, "Fast (0.1s)" trigger, 8x lithium AA, and 2022 release. detection_range_ft uses the manufacturer-rated 100 ft (per roster methodology; TrailCamPro's measured value is 80 ft); trigger_speed_sec uses the verbatim manufacturer-rated 0.1 s (TrailCamPro's page shows an implausible 0.02 s picture trigger, treated as a transcription artifact). The Browning manufacturer product page now redirects to its homepage (this 2022 model is discontinued), so TrailCamPro is used as source.url, consistent with the roster's existing Browning/Reconyx/Bushnell entries.
