Field Scan 2x with Live Trigger Feature
Field Scan is a revolutionary new feature for the Bushnell Trophy Cam HD Vital,
which allows you to monitor your food plots or field edges with time lapse images
or video. When set to "On", the Trophy Cam HD Vital will take a photo (or
record a video clip) automatically at your choice of intervals (for example, once
every five minutes) during one or two blocks of time you set up for each day,
without requiring a trigger from an active animal. This has the advantage of
giving you the ability to monitor the edge of a field that might be 50 or 150 yards
away from the camera out of the PIR sensor's range. The result is an effective
range much greater than it would normally be, with the camera dependant on
triggers generated by nearby animals. This is a great tool for hunters to scout an
entire field with only one camera.
If an animal does enter the area covered by the PIR sensor and generate a trigger
event during a time in between the Field Scan intervals you set, the camera will
capture an image or video just as it normally would, based on your other menu
settings. Here's how to setup and use Field Scan (be sure you've set the current
time in "Set Clock" first, so your Field Scan recording will stop and start at the
correct times of day):
1. Move the main switch to SETUP, then press MENU.
2. Keep pressing the RIGHT key, stepping through the Setup Menu until you
reach Field Scan.
3. Press the UP key to select On, and press OK (Step 1, pg.16). You will see
"A", representing the first block of time you can define (a second block of
time later in the day, "B" can also be setup if you wish). Press OK (Step 2).
This takes you to the screen to set Start and Stop times, which determines
the clock times when the first block of Field Scan recording will begin and
end for each day. You can set these times to the exact hour and minute you
want, for a recording "window" that lasts anywhere from just a minute to a
full 24 hours.
4. Set the [Start] and [Stop] times, beginning with the Start hour, using the
UP/DOWN keys to change the setting (Step 3). The hour setting is based
on a 24-hour clock, with "00" hours = midnight, "12" hours = noon, "23"
hrs = 11PM, etc. To move to the next setting, press the RIGHT key, change
