GLOSSARY

OTHER SETUP NOTES

PIR-Passive Infrared Sensor. Senses motion like typical security motion detector. Requires Infrared Energy in addition to motion to trip sensor to assure detection of live animals.

Event—Any time that the PIR senses motion it counts it as an event. Events are recorded to the SD card in a text file. Events are recorded continuously during operation.

Image = A digital picture recorded on the SD Card when motion is sensed. Images are taken at the desired delay between images.

Image Delay—Delay between images taken by camera. This is user-set based on wildlife activity in area.

IR Flash—LED Night Vision Flash. Sends a burst of Infrared Energy which is invisible to the human eye. Especially useful for night photos when a visible flash is undesirable. (Featured on Model 119900 only)

Camera Flash-Incarcerate Flash used for night or low light photography. Typically oversized to achieve greater flash range for hitting game out further.

SD card=Memory card used to store images and events inside the trail camera. 32MB card included.

Battery Life-Time that camera will function in the field. Dependent on temperature, number of images and number of flashes during that time.

Setp-Methods required for setting date/time and camera imaging settings.

Security [4 methods]—One of the most important requirements of any trail camera. Badmull unis have 4 levels—padlock, tree bracket, cable lock, and software password.

1. SD CARD SLOT

The unit has a standard SD Card slot. You must push the SD Card in with the SD Card label facing the Bushnell logo into the SD card slot. Pushing it again will release the SD card, and then you can remove the SD card from the SD card slot. Insertion or removal of SD card is only recommended when the unit is in the "OFF" position.

2. PIR SENSOR

The sensor that triggers the trail camera is Passive Infrared, or PIR. Infrared energy is essentially heat energy. The PIR detector operates by sensing a change in the infrared level in its detection zone. This zone is a cone in the center 10 degrees of the camera's field of view. The camera establishes an average long-term infrared level. When this level increased suddenly the PIR detector signals the camera to record a picture and/or an event. Because of this effect, the PIR detector will be more sensitive at night, when the average temperature is lower.

In the Setup mode, you can use PIR sensor to determine the detection zone. When the PIR is sensed, the PIR Sense Indicator will light. The camera's field of view is a 45 degree cone, centered on the PIR detection zone.

Other Setup Notes (cont.)

1. LASER POINTER (Model 119900 Only)
