INTRODUCTION
About the Trophy Cam
The Bushnell Trophy Cam is a digital scouting camera. It can be triggered
by any movement of game in a location, detected by a highly sensitive
Passive Infra-Red (PIR) motion sensor, and then take high quality pictures
(up to 8MP still photos), or video clips.
The Trophy Cam consumes very little power (less than 300mA) in a stand-
by (surveillance) state. This means it can deliver up to six months stand-by
operation time when the device is powered by eight AA alkaline batteries,
and up to twelve months utilizing lithium AA batteries. Once motion in the
monitored area is detected, the digital camera unit will be triggered at once
(typically less than one second) and then automatically take photos or videos
according to previously programmed settings. The Trophy Cam is equipped
with built-in infrared LEDs that function as a flash, so that it delivers clear
photos or videos (in black & white) even in the dark, and it can take color
photos or videos under sufficient daylight. The Trophy Cam is designed for
outdoor use and is resistant against water and snow. Your trail camera is one
of the latest generation of Bushnell Trophy Cams, and includes many new
or improved features, such as:
• Auto PIR Sensitivity-the camera monitors ambient temperature conditions
and automatically adjusts the sensor/trigger signal to be more sensitive to
slight variations in temperature on hot days, less sensitive on cold days.
• Field Scan 2x with Live Trigger-The “time lapse” feature added in last year’s
models has been enhanced with the addition of the option for a second
block of recording with its own start/stop times. Trigger signals generated
by nearby wildlife activity will still generate additional photos/videos as they
normally would, independently of the Field Scan operation.
• GPS Geotag Capability-allows the user to input the longitude and latitude
of the camera’s position, which will be embedded in each photo file. This
enables Google Earth, Picassa and other geotag enabled software to
automatically show a map pinpointing each camera’s location when a group
of photos are reviewed on a computer. Especially useful for those who setup
multiple Trophy Cams to monitor large or widely separated areas.
• Audio Recording capability in Video Mode.
Applications
The Trophy Cam can be used as a trail camera for hunting or scouting
game. It is also suitable for surveillance usage.
