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 5MP still photos), or video clips.
The Trophy Cam consumes very little power (less than 300μA) 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 within 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 ash, so that it
delivers clear photos or videos (in black & white) even in the dark, and it
can take color photos or videos under sucient daylight. The Trophy Cam
is designed for outdoor use and is resistant against water and snow.
Applications
The Trophy Cam can be used as a trail camera for hunting or scouting
game. It is also suitable for surveillance usage.
