   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorPro one: the Frontier XR Plus reaches seven thousand feet from its hub, Amazon says.

3. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorCon one: that's seven thousand feet of garden I'm now responsible for worrying about.

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's a trail camera for big properties, two hundred dollars. You'd need a big property.

8. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorPro three: the new Spotlight Cam has a built-in light and no wires.
