Reconyx is a trail camera brand Don described as possibly the only American-made camera line. Don said side-by-side testing showed no other brand matched its picture count, and that he had used Reconyx since 2010 without an outright failure in eleven years, calling them dependable for about 40,000 pictures per battery charge. Terry called it the best for picture quality and trigger speed despite its price, though both later reported disappointing results with newer Reconyx cell cameras, and said the company reached out after they aired complaints.
