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 Trophy Cam HD Vital can effectively monitor the area you
choose, this test is recommended to check the sensing angle and monitoring
distance of the Trophy Cam HD Vital. To perform the test:
• Switch the Trophy Cam HD Vital 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 Trophy Cam HD Vital. 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
Trophy Cam HD Vital 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.
