Using the tripod socket: The camera is equipped with a socket at the
bottom end to enable mounting on a tripod or other mounting accessories
with a standard1/4-20 thread.
Two optional mounting accessories, a "Bear Safe" metal camera box
(model # 119653C) and Deluxe Tree Bracket (model# 119652C) are
also available-please see your Bushnell dealer or website for more details.
Sensing Angle and Distance Test
To test whether the NatureView HD Essential can effectively monitor the
area you choose, this test is recommended to check the sensing angle and
monitoring distance of the NatureView HD Essential. To perform the test:
• Switch the NatureView HD Essential to the SETUP mode.
• Make movements in front of the camera at several positions within
the area where you expect the game or subjects to be. Try different
distances and angles from the camera.
• If the motion indicator LED light blinks, it indicates that position can be
sensed. If it does not blink, that position is outside of the sensing area.
The results of your testing will help you find the best placement when
mounting and aiming the NatureView HD Essential. 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).
Switching ON the Camera
Once you switch to the ON mode, the motion indicator LED (red) will blink
for about 10 seconds. This gives you time to close and lock the front cover
of the NatureView HD Essential and then walk away. During this time, the
motion indicator LED will blink red continuously. After it stops blinking, the
PIR is active, and any motion that is detected by it will trigger the capture
of photos or videos as programmed in the SETUP Menu. Be sure you
have read the descriptions of the Capture Number, Video Length, Interval
and Sensor Level parameters. Please note, the PIR is strongly sensitive to
ambient temperature. The greater the temperature difference between the
environment and your subject, the farther the possible sensing distance. The
average sensing distance is about 45 ft.
