5. The “key” icon will ﬂash next (

), press ENTER and enter any four

digit password of your choice (to keep using the default “0000”, just

press ENTER 4 times) by using the UP/DOWN buttons to change each
digit and using ENTER to step to the next digit (

). When ﬁnished, press

ENTER if you want to return to the date/time setup menu, or press and

hold the MENU button at any time to exit all setup menus and return to

normal operation.

6. In normal operating mode, the display will only show the still photo or movie clip icon in the

lower left corner, an SD card icon on the lower right, and one or more digits that indicate how many

photo or movie ﬁles have been stored on the card. To test the camera operation, wave your hand in

front of the lens and PIR (passive infrared/motion) detector, while looking at the LCD display. Every

time an “event” is detected, the display will indicate “Plr”, “EVNT”, “rECd” in turn, and the event is

recorded on the SD card as a new line in a text ﬁle, including the date and time of the event. As long

as events are being detected, a new still photo or movie clip (as set in the menu) will be recorded

every 30 seconds, indicated on the display by “Plr”, “SnAP”, then “SAVE”. Note: for movie clips,

the display will stay on “SnAP” for the 14 sec duration of each movie.

7. Thread the strap through the slots on the back of the Sentry and attach the buckles, then strap it

onto a suitable tree, making sure the strap is tight and the camera is aimed at the area you wish to

observe. The red LED lamp on the front of the camera can help you determine how large an area is

covered, as it will ﬂash when an “event” is detected. Turn on the camera (make sure a new or empty SD

card has been inserted) and leave the area-there is a 60 second delay after power on before the ﬁrst photo

is taken. The ﬂash will ﬁre automatically at night for still photos, but not movies, so they will be dark

unless the area is well lit by the moon or another light source. Batteries typically last 30 days or more,

depending on how often the Sentry is activated by events, how often the ﬂash ﬁres, ambient temperature,

etc. The red LED lamp will stay on continually to indicate a low battery condition.

8. Pressing the Up/Down buttons during normal operation will switch the
display between showing # of photos stored (

) and # of events recorded

(

). To view your captured photos, make sure the power is off, and remove

the SD card by pushing down lightly on the top edge of the card-it will pop

up for removal. Insert it into an SD card reader (available at most com-

puter, photo, or electronics dealers) connected via USB to your PC or Mac

to view, copy, or delete the photos (standard JPG ﬁles) and movies (AVI

ﬁles) inside the “DCIM/100MEDIA” folder on the card. Double click on an

individual ﬁle to see it, or open the ﬁles using the photo software of your

choice. The event log is the .TXT ﬁle, just double click to view with your

default software that opens standard plain text ﬁles. If you do not have a computer, or would like to

more easily view your photos in the ﬁeld, we recommend the Bushnell Trail Scout Viewer. It is battery

powered, and features 2 SD card slots, allowing you to easily copy photos to a larger capacity card, or

delete unwanted photos, as well as view your Sentry photos on its large color LCD display. The Trail

Scout Viewer also has a USB port, so it can function as a card reader for a computer as well.
