INTRODUCTION
About the Prime Trail Camera
The Bushnell Prime Trail Camera 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 24MP still
photos), or 720p HD video clips.
The Prime Trail Camera consumes very little power (less than 0.08 mA) in a stand-
by (surveillance) state. This means it can deliver up to twelve months stand-by
operation time when the device is powered by six AA alkaline batteries. Once
motion in the monitored area is detected, the digital camera unit will be triggered at
once (typically less than half a second) and then automatically take images
according to previously programmed settings. The Prime Trail Camera is equipped
with built-in infrared LEDs that function as a flash, so that it delivers clear photos or
videos (in black & white) even in the dark, and it can take color photos or videos
under sufficient daylight. The Prime Trail Camera is designed for outdoor use and
is resistant against water and snow.
Applications
The Prime Trail Camera can be used as a trail camera for hunting or scouting
game. It is also suitable for surveillance usage.
PARTS AND CONTROLS
The Prime Trail Camera provides the following connections for external devices:
USB port and SD card slot (Fig. 4).
A 3-way power switch is used to select the main operating modes: OFF, AIM, and
ON (Fig. 3).
A D-Pad interface with 5-way keys is primarily used in AIM mode to select
operational functions and parameters. As shown in Fig. 3, these keys are: UP,
DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, OK and MENU. Three of the keys can also perform a second
function (shortcut operations in AIM mode) in addition to their main function: The
DOWN key can be used to set the camera to Photo mode (still camera icon), and
the UP key can set the camera to Video mode (movie camera icon). The RIGHT key
also serves as the manual shutter ("SHOT") button of the camera. These second-
ary functions are indicated by icons or text above the key as shown in Fig. 3.
