INTRODUCTION

About the Trophy Cam HD

The Bushnell Trophy Cam HD 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 12MP

still photos), or video clips.

The Trophy Cam HD 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 0.3 second) and then automatically take photos or videos according to

previously programmed settings. The Trophy Cam HD 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 HD is designed for outdoor use and is

resistant against water and snow. Your trail camera is one of the latest generation

of Bushnell Trophy Cam HDs, 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 original “time lapse” feature 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.

• Audio Recording capability in Video Mode. 720p HD Video.

Applications

The Trophy Cam HD 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 HD 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.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND SD CARD

Before you begin learning how to use your Trophy Cam HD, 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 HD, you will see that the Trophy

Cam HD 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 HD 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 HD. 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 HD 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 HD, 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 HD 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

Your Trophy Cam HD has 32MB internal memory, which can hold only about 10

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 HD 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 HD’s “Format” parameter before using

it for the ﬁrst time is recommended, especially when a card has been used

in other devices (see “Changing Menu Parameter Settings”, 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 HD

Once you’ve prepared your Trophy Cam HD 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 HD 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

HD 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. 7, “Front View”)

will blink red for about 10 seconds. This interval allows time for you to close

the Trophy Cam HD’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 HD 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

HD 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
