These settings may

be easily changed to suit your individual preferences or application (for example, if you would rather capture videos, or photos at a different resolution, spaced further apart), using the app on your smartphone or home computer.

MOUNTING & POSITIONING

After you've set up the camera's settings to your preferences, you're ready start capturing images.

We recommend mounting the camera on a sturdy tree or post with a diameter of about 6". To get the optimal picture quality, the camera should be about 16-17 ft. away from the place to be monitored, with the camera placed at a height of 3.5' to 5'. Also, keep in mind that you will get the best results at night when the subject is within the ideal flash range, no farther than 60' and no closer than 10' from the 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).

There are two ways to mount the camera:

- Using the provided adjustable belt: Push one end of the belt through the two slots on the back of the trail camera. Thread the end of the strap through the buckle. Fasten the belt securely around the tree trunk by pulling the end of the strap firmly so there is no slack left.

Strap Channel Strap Buckle

- Using the tripod socket: The camera is equipped with a socket at the back (below the strap brackets) to enable mounting on a tripod or other camera mounting accessories that have a standard 1/4"-20 thread.

USING AN EXTERNAL POWER SOURCE [Power accessory not included]

Connect the optional (119986C) Accessory Solar Panel (please visit www.bushnell.com for more information) to the "DC In" jack at the bottom of the camera (other external power supplies should not be used, as the camera and/or display may not function correctly). If the solar panel is connected and AA batteries are installed, the camera will be powered by the solar panel's rechargeable lith-ion battery, as long as it provides adequate voltage (if not, the camera will switch to battery power). The solar panel's battery will power the camera at night.
