The Browning Recon Force Elite HP5 Ultra is one of our favourite camera trap at NatureSpy. If you're seeking high-quality photo and video footage day and night, this camera is an ideal choice, offering exceptional image quality across a wide range of conditions.

The HP5 Ultra is the new 2026 model, offering increased photo and video resolution compared with the previous Recon Force Elite HP5.

The previous version of this wildlife camera was used on BBC Springwatch, and the new version continues to deliver the same trusted performance.

Our warehouse works hard to dispatch any orders received before 2pm each weekday (and some after 2pm!). Your delivery speed will depend on the shipping method you choose at checkout. 98% of our parcels arrive with wildlife-watchers the next working day.

Please note, bulk orders may occasionally take longer to dispatch, depending on size. If in doubt, get in touch with us, and we'll make it happen.

Day & Night

Image quality

With its larger lens - larger than most trail cameras - the Elite HP5 Ultra delivers crisp, highly detailed photos. Its enhanced low-glow LEDs ensure excellent motion freezing at night.

Highest quality video

Video resolution: 1440p (60fps day, 60fps night)

Equipped with the latest iCatch processor, the Recon Force Elite HP5 Ultra offers a step up in video resolution over the previous HP5, delivering sharper footage both day and night. It retains the same low-glow RADIANT 5 LED system and night-time behaviour, ensuring consistent, well-balanced video capture in low-light conditions.

Super-fast trigger speed

Photo trigger speed: approx. 0.02 seconds
Video trigger speed: approx 0.3 seconds

Recovery speed: 0.5 seconds

The Recon Force series of wildlife cameras from Browning have always been quick, and this latest model is no exception. Photos are triggered almost instantly on detection, while video triggers are only about 0.3s. Pretty darn quick, and means you’re not likely to miss anything at all.

Greener power options

Batteries: 8x AA | Battery Options: Lithium, Alkaline & Rechargeable (over 2500mAh)

The Elite HP5 Ultra offers a very good battery life. You can expect approx. 22 months for photos (with about 60 captures daily) and 3 months for video (with roughly 20 daily) using Lithium batteries.

Crucially, this wildlife camera is also designed to work with rechargeable batteries over 2500mAh - such as Eneloop Pro.

Easy to use

The Recon Force Elite HP5 Ultra is a straightforward and easy-to-use wildlife camera. It features a convenient forward-facing colour screen that helps with set-up and allows you to review images/videos without removing the camera from the field. 

The updated camouflage is well suited for UK and temperate conditions.
