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.

PARTS AND CONTROLS

The Trophy Cam provides the following connections for external devices:

USB port, SD card slot, TV Out, and external DC power in (Fig. 1).

A 3-way power switch is used to select the main operating modes: OFF,

SETUP, and ON (Fig. 2).

A control key interface with six keys is primarily used in SETUP mode to

select operational functions and parameters. As shown in Fig. 2, these keys

are: UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, OK and MENU. Four of the keys can also

perform a second function (shortcut operations in SETUP mode) in addition

to their main function: The DOWN key can be used to set the camera to

Photo mode (still camera icon), and the UP key can set the camera to Video

mode (movie camera icon). The RIGHT key also serves as the manual shutter

(“SHOT”) button of the camera and the OK key switches the camera to

the Playback (“REPLAY”) mode. These secondary functions are indicated by

icons or text above the key as shown in Fig. 2.

PARTS AND CONTROLS

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 battery slots. Starting at the top

of the battery compartment, slots 1, 2, 3 and 4

form one group, while slots 5, 6, 7 and 8 form the

other group, each providing 6 volts in parallel. For

maximum battery life, you should install a full set

of eight batteries. The Trophy Cam may also be

operated by just four batteries installed in the top

group only (see right), starting at slot 1. Battery

life will be shorter with 4 batteries, but the

camera will operate normally. Whether you use 4

or 8, be sure to insert each battery with correct

polarity (negative or “ﬂat” end against the long spring of each battery slot).

Bushnell recommends using eight new lithium AA (Energizer®brand) or

alkaline AA batteries. NiMh Rechargeable batteries can also be used, but

they might have a shorter life span due to their reduced efﬁciency over time

and at low temperature. It is also possible to use a lead-acid external battery cell

with 6V output or suitable AC adapter-see below for more details.

Using an External Power Source (optional, user provided)

Optionally, you can connect an external 6V DC power source to the “DC In”

jack at the bottom of the Trophy Cam. It is recommended to use a power

source with a current output greater than 1000mA. However, during bright

daytime operation when no ﬂash is required, the Trophy Cam can function

with much less current (>400mA). Please use a compatible power source

cable (not provided) to connect the external DC power source with the power

input jack of the Trophy Cam, making sure that the polarity is correct. Note:

The power connector is a 4.0x1.7mm coaxial DC power plug with positive

“tip” (inside pin) polarity (Radio Shack P/N 274-1532 or equivalent).

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 Cams have 32MB internal memory, which can hold only about

20 photos (@ 5MP resolution). This is handy for testing and getting familiar

with the camera, but you will no doubt want to leave the camera unattended

for longer than a day, so using an SD card is recommended. Insert the SD

card (with the camera’s power switch in the OFF position) before beginning

to operate the camera. Don’t insert or remove the SD card when the power

switch is in the ON position.

The Trophy Cam uses a standard SD (Secure Digital) memory card to save

photos (in .jpg format) and/or videos (in .avi format). SD and SDHC (High

Capacity) cards up to a maximum 32GB capacity are supported. Before

inserting the SD card into the card slot after opening the camera’s front

cover, please make sure that the write-protect switch on the side of the card

is “off” (NOT in the “Lock” position). The following describes how to insert and

remove the SD card:

• Insert the SD card into the card slot with its label side upwards (see

above). A “click” sound indicates that the card is installed successfully.

If the wrong side of the card is facing up, you will not be able to insert

it without force-there is only one correct way to insert cards. If the SD

card is not installed correctly, the device will not display an SD card icon

on the LCD in SETUP mode (the SD card icon displayed after switching

to SETUP mode will have a “lock” symbol inside it in it if the card is locked).

Formatting the SD card by using the Trophy Cam’s “Format” parameter

before using it for the ﬁrst time is recommended, especially when a card

has been used in other devices (see “Format”, pg. 19, for details).

• To take out the SD card, just gently push in the card (do not try to pull

it out without pushing in ﬁrst). The card

is released from the slot and ready to be

removed when you hear the click. Be sure

the camera’s power is switched OFF before

inserting or removing SD cards or batteries.

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 least set the date and time so the camera will imprint

them (or not-it’s your option) on your photos as they are taken, learn how to

set the camera to shoot video clips instead of still photos if you like, and read

some tips about mounting it on a tree.

THE OFF, ON, AND SETUP MODES

The Trophy Cam has three basic operational modes:

• OFF mode: Power switch in the OFF position.

• ON mode: Power switch in the ON position (LCD screen is off.)

• SETUP mode: Power switch at SETUP position (LCD screen is on).

OFF MODE

The OFF mode is the “safe” mode when any actions must be taken, e.g.,

replacing the SD card or batteries, or transporting the device. You will also

use OFF mode if you connect the camera to a computer’s USB port later

to download your photos/videos. And of course, when you are storing or not

using the camera, you will switch it to OFF. Please note that even in the OFF

mode the Trophy Cam still consumes power at a very low level. Therefore,

it’s a good idea to take the batteries out of the battery compartment if the

camera will not be used for a long time.

ON MODE

Anytime after the batteries and SD card have been inserted, you can switch

on the camera. When the power switch is moved to the top position, the

camera will enter into the ON (Live) mode. The motion indicator LED (pg. 5,

“Front View”) will blink red for about 10 seconds. This interval allows time for

you to close the Trophy Cam’s front cover, lock it, and leave the monitored

area. Once in the ON mode, no manual controls are needed or possible

(the control keys have no effect). The Trophy Cam will take photos or

videos automatically (according to its current parameter settings) when it is

triggered by the PIR sensor’s detection of activity in the area it covers.

You can either move the power switch directly from OFF to ON mode, or

stop at the SETUP position ﬁrst to change one or more settings, then move

the switch to ON after you have ﬁnished doing so.

SETUP MODE

In the SETUP mode you can check and change the settings of the Trophy

Cam with the help of its built-in LCD (or a monitor connected to the TV out

jack). These settings, found in the SETUP Menu, let you change the photo

or video resolution, interval between photos, switch the time imprint on, etc.

Moving the power switch to the SETUP position will turn on the LCD display,

and you will see an information screen that shows how many images have

been taken, the battery level, camera or video mode, etc (see Fig. 3, pg. 10).

NOTE: Always move the power switch from OFF to SETUP mode. It

is possible that the camera could lockup if it is switched from ON to

SETUP mode. If this occurs, simply move the switch to OFF and then

push it up to SETUP again.

SETUP Mode Shortcut Keys/Functions

As mentioned earlier in “Parts & Controls”, four of the keys below the LCD

have secondary, “shortcut” functions when the camera is switched to

SETUP mode (but the MENU key has not been pressed):

• Press the UP key to quickly set the camera to shoot video clips.

• Press the DOWN key to quickly set the camera to take still photos.

• Press the RIGHT key to manually trigger the shutter. This is useful

for testing the camera-make sure you are in SETUP mode, press the

RIGHT key, and a few seconds later a photo or video (depending on

how the camera was set) will be saved to the SD card (or internal

memory if no card is inserted). The “number of images taken” counter

on the bottom left of the LCD will increase by one. If the display

indicates “SD PROTECTED” when you press the SHOT key, switch

the camera OFF, remove the SD card and slide its protect switch off.

• Press the OK key to replay (review or playback) photos/videos on a

connected TV monitor. See “Playing Back Photos/Videos” for more

details.
