Using the tripod socket: The camera is equipped with a socket at the bottom end
to enable mounting on a tripod or other mounting accessories with a standard1/4-
20 thread.
Note: an accessory solar panel supplemental power source (#119756C) is also
available - please visit www.bushnell.com for more information.
Sensing Angle and Distance Test
To test whether the Prime Trail Camera can effectively monitor the area you
choose, this test is recommended to check the sensing angle and monitoring
distance of the
Prime Trail Camera . To perform the test:
• Switch the Prime Trail Camera to the AIM mode.
• Make movements in front of the camera at several positions within the area
where you expect the game or subjects to be. Try different distances and angles
from the camera.
• If the motion indicator LED light blinks, it indicates that position can be sensed.
If it does not blink, that position is outside of the sensing area.
The results of your testing will help you find the best placement when mounting and
aiming the Prime Trail Camera. The height away from the ground for placing the
device should vary with the animal size appropriately. In general, 3 to 6 feet is
preferred.
You can avoid potential false triggers due to temperature and motion disturbances
in front of the camera by not aiming it at a heat source or nearby tree branches or
brush (especially on windy days).
Switching ON the Camera
Once you switch to the ON mode, the motion indicator LED (red) will blink for about
10 seconds. This gives you time to close and lock the front cover of the Prime Trail
Camera and then walk away. During this time, the motion indicator LED will blink
red continuously. After it stops blinking, the PIR is active, and any motion that is
detected by it will trigger the capture of photos or videos as programmed in the
SETUP Menu. Be sure you have read the descriptions of the Capture Number,
Video Length, Interval and Sensor Level parameters. Please note, the PIR is
strongly sensitive to ambient temperature. The greater the temperature difference
between the environment and your subject, the farther the possible sensing
distance. The average sensing distance is about 60 ft Before leaving the camera
unattended, please check for the following:
