INTRODUCTION
About the Wireless Trophy Cam
The Bushnell Wireless 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 Wireless Trophy Cam consumes very little power (less than 0.3 mA)
in a stand-by (surveillance) state. This translates to a stand-by operating
period ranging from weeks to months on a full set of 12 AA batteries, with
the low end of the range based on alkaline batteries and frequent data
transmission, and the high end contingent on the use of lithium batteries
and a lower transmission frequency*. 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 Wireless Trophy Cam
is equipped with built-in infrared LEDs (“black” IR 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 sucient daylight.
The Wireless Trophy Cam is designed for outdoor use and is resistant
against water and snow.
*An optional Solar Panel accessory (model# #119656C) can provide extended
battery life. Please contact your Bushnell dealer for availability.
Your Bushnell Wireless Trophy Cam represents the summit of our trail
camera technology, including 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.
Hyper NightVision-The IR LED Flash array now has increased range, brighter
output and better coverage for improved nighttime images.
Field Scan 2x with Live Trigger-Field Scan is a special feature which allows
the camera to capture time lapse images or video. This has the advantage of
giving you the ability to monitor the edge of a eld that might be 50 or 150
yards away from the camera out of the PIR sensor’s range. Two independent
“blocks” of time lapse recording can be setup, and the camera will still also
record images when triggered by nearby animal activity as well.
17
GPS Geotag Capability-allows the user to input the longitude and latitude
of the cameras position, which will be embedded in each photo le. This
enables Google Earth™, Picassa® and other geotag enabled software to
automatically show a map pinpointing each cameras location when a group
of photos are reviewed on a computer. Especially useful for those who setup
multiple Wireless Trophy Cams to monitor large or widely separated areas.
Multi Flash Mode (LED Control)- prevents overexposed ash photos in close
range applications
NV Shutter-user can select shutter speed for images captured at night
allowing control over brightness vs. ability to stop motion
Camera Operating Mode can be limited to Day only, Night only, or 24 HRs
Image Recycle option allows new photos/videos to begin replacing oldest
les when SD card is at max. storage capacity, so recording will continue
without interruption.
And many more features such as HD Video with Audio, widescreen or
fullscreen format still photos, imprintable camera name (user set) along
with current data including temperature, moon phase and barometric
pressure.
Applications
The Wireless 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 Wireless Trophy Cam provides the following connections for
external devices: USB port, SD card slot, A/V Out, and external DC power
in (pg 18, Fig. 1).
A 3-way power switch is used to select the main operating modes: OFF,
SETUP, and ON (pg 18, Fig. 2).
A control key interface with six keys is primarily used in SETUP mode to
select operational functions and parameters. As shown on the next page,
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

functions are indicated by icons or text above the key as shown below.
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND SD CARD
Before you begin learning how to use your Wireless Trophy Cam, you
will rst 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 Wireless Trophy Cam, you will see that the
Wireless Trophy Cam has twelve battery slots. Load
the camera with a full set of 12 new batteries. Do not
mix old and new batteries, and do not mix dierent
types of batteries (use all lithium or all alkaline).
Be sure to insert each battery with correct polarity
(negative or “at” end against the long spring of
each battery slot).
Bushnell recommends using a full set of new lithium AA (Energizer
®
brand) or alkaline AA batteries. NiMh Rechargeable batteries are not
recommended, as the lower voltage they produce can cause operational
issues. 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 Wireless Trophy Cam. It is recommended to
use a power source with a current output of 2A. However, during bright
daytime operation when no ash is required, the Wireless Trophy Cam
can function with much less current ( >1000mA). Please use a compatible
20
power source cable (not provided) to connect the external DC power
source with the power input jack of the Wireless 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 Wireless 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 18, Front View).
Note: an accessory solar panel (#119656C) is also available - please
visit www.bushnell.com for more information.
Inserting the SD Card
The Wireless Trophy Cam has 32MB of 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 for all models. Insert the SD card (with the cameras 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 Wireless 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. High speed SD cards are recommended if you will use the
1280x720 video resolution setting (HD). Before inserting the SD card into
the card slot after opening the cameras front cover, please make sure that
the write-protect switch on the side of the card is o (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
below). 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
