In Progress

• 8.5-month battery life in picture mode

• 0.7-month battery life in video mode

Picture Quality:  Testing in Progress

Photo resolution: 20 interpolated mpxl

We are placing cameras in the field. We will post Silent Crush cam pictures and videos as they become available.

Battery Life: 60/100

Picture & Video Resting Power (on):   1.77 mW

Picture Daytime/Nighttime Power Consumption:  2.26 Ws |  5.52 Ws

Video Daytime/Nighttime Power Consumption: 34.18 Ws | 299.46 Ws

Battery life is very efficient in picture mode but extremely inefficient in video mode.

Picture Mode

If this camera were to take 35-day and 35-night pictures every 24 hours, the Silent 20 Crush would last 8.5 months in the field on a set of 8 AA Lithium Batteries. We consider this to be good battery life.

Video Mode

If this Wildgame Innovations Silent Crush 20 camera were to take 15-day and 15-night videos (30-second videos / this is the only length of video Wildgame allows) every 24 hours, it would last 0.7 months in the field on a set of lithium batteries. This is very poor.

Picture Trigger & Recovery Speed: 0.68 s. / 8.3 s.

Video Trigger & Recovery Speed:  1.21 s. / 9.8 s.
