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 0.2 mA) 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 the fu

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND SD CARD Before you begin learning how to use your Trophy Cam, you will first need to install a set of batteries and insert an SD card. Although that may only take you a minute, there are some important notes about both batteries and SD cards you should be aware of, so please take the time to read the following directions and cautions: Loading Batteries After opening the two latches on the right side of the Trophy Cam, you will see that the Trophy Cam has eight

If both an external power source is connected and batteries are installed, the Trophy Cam will be powered by the external power source. When the batteries become weak, the low-battery indicator LED will glow blue, indicating the batteries should be changed (pg 5, Front View). Inserting the SD Card The Trophy Cam has 32MB of internal memory, which can hold only about 20 photos (@ 5MP resolution).

USING THE TROPHY CAM Once you’ve prepared your Trophy Cam by properly installing batteries and an SD card, you could simply take it outside, strap it to a tree, switch it on and leave-and you might get some great photos that are exactly what you wanted. However, we highly recommend that you first spend some additional time indoors with this manual and your camera until you know a bit more about what the 3-way switch and those control keys do. If nothing else, you’ll probably want to at lea

Field Scan 2x with Live Trigger Feature Field Scan is a revolutionary new feature for the Bushnell Trophy Cam, which allows you to monitor your food plots or field edges with time lapse images or video. When set to “On”, the Trophy Cam will take a photo (or record a video clip) automatically at your choice of intervals (for example, once every five minutes) during one or two blocks of time you set up for each day, without requiring a trigger from an active animal. This has the advantage o

7:00 PM. No Field Scan recording would occur from 8AM to 5:30PM, or from 7PM to 6AM. Remember, Field Scan recording is independent of normal triggers due to animal activity–even if no animals enter the IR sensor coverage zone, an image or video will still be captured every 15 minutes during the block(s) of time. If an animal triggers the camera “in between” the 15 minute intervals, it will be recorded, same as it would if you had setup the camera with Field Scan turned Off. Note: Field Sc

The “High” setting will make the camera more sensitive to infrared (heat) and more easily triggered by motion, and the “Low” setting makes it less sensitive to heat and motion.
