  • Page 16: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION About the Aggressor Wireless Cam The Bushnell Aggressor Wireless 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 14MP still photos), or video clips.

  • Page 17: Parts And Controls

    • GPS Geotag Capability-allows the user to input the longitude and latitude of the camera’s position, which will be embedded in each photo file. GPS coordinates are updated automatically during nightly check-in. This enables Google Earth™, Picassa® and other geotag enabled software to automatically show a map pinpointing each camera’s location when a group of photos are reviewed on a computer.

  • Page 21: Using The Aggressor Wireless Cam

    WARNING: Be sure the camera’s power is switched OFF before inserting or removing SD cards or batteries. USING THE AGGRESSOR WIRELESS CAM Once you’ve prepared your Aggressor Wireless Cam by properly installing batteries and an SD card, you could simply take it outside, strap it to a tree, switch it on and leave-and you might get some great photos that are exactly what you wanted.

  • Page 22: Setup Mode

    ON MODE Anytime after the batteries and SD card have been inserted, you can switch on the camera. When the power switch is moved to the right position, the camera will enter into the ON (Live) mode. The motion indicator LED (pg. 18, “Front View”) will blink red for about 10 seconds. This interval allows time for you to close the Aggressor Wireless Cam’s front cover, lock it, and leave the monitored area.
