INTRODUCTION About the Trophy Cam HD Aggressor The Bushnell Trophy Cam HD Aggressor 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.

You can also connect an optional Solar Panel accessory (model# 119756C -please visit www.bushnell.com for more information) to the “DC In” jack at the bottom of the Trophy Cam HD Aggressor (other external power supplies should not be used, as the camera and/or display may not function correctly).
Inserting the SD Card The Trophy Cam HD Aggressor has 32MB of internal memory, which can hold only about 18 photos (@ 8MP resolution). This is handy for testing and getting familiar with the camera, but you will no doubt want to leave the camera unattended for longer than a day, so using an SD card is recommended for all models.
USING THE Trophy Cam HD Aggressor Once you’ve prepared your Trophy Cam HD Aggressor 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. However, we highly recommend that you first spend some additional time indoors with this manual and your camera until you know a bit more about what the 3-way switch and those control keys do.

You can either move the power switch directly from OFF to ON mode, or stop at the SETUP position first to change one or more settings, then move the switch to ON after you have finished doing so.

USING THE SETUP MENU TO CHANGE SETTINGS The main purpose of the SETUP mode is to allow you to change the settings of the camera’s parameters (19 different ones are available!) so your Trophy Cam HD Aggressor operates exactly the way you want it to.

MOUNTING and POSITIONING the Trophy Cam HD Aggressor Mounting After you’ve set up the camera’s parameters to your personal preferences at home or in your truck, you’re ready to take it outside and slide the power switch to “ON”. When setting up the Trophy Cam HD Aggressor for scouting game or other outdoor applications, you must be sure to mount it in place correctly and securely.
Two optional mounting accessories, a “Bear Safe” Metal Box (model#119757C) and Deluxe Tree Bracket (model#119652C) are available-please see your Bushnell dealer or website for more details. Note: an accessory solar panel supplemental power source (#119756C) is also available - please visit www.bushnell.com for more information.

Reviewing Images by Connecting the Camera to a Computer You can always unmount the entire camera from the tree and connect its USB port to a computer-it will be recognized as a “removable disk”, without the need to install any drivers or software. When using a PC (or Mac*) to view photos (or video clips*), first connect the device to the computer with the supplied USB cable.
DOWNLOADING THE PHOTOS/VIDEOS To download your photos/videos to a PC or Mac*, first make sure the Trophy Cam HD Aggressor power switch is in the OFF position. Connect the supplied cable to the camera’s USB port, then directly to a main USB port on your computer-do not use front panel/keyboard USB ports or unpowered “hubs”.
Typically, the Trophy Cam HD Aggressor will be able to capture several thousand images before the batteries die. 2. Check to make sure you have used new alkaline or lithium batteries. Bushnell recommends using a full set of Energizer Lithium AA batteries in your ®...

If this is seen on a consistent basis, then the sensor may need servicing. Please contact Bushnell customer service. 7. Short video clips—not recording to the length set a. Check to make sure that the SD card is not full.
b. Make sure that the camera has good batteries in it. Near the end of the battery life, the camera may choose to record shorter video clips to conserve power. c. When LED Control is set to "High" and camera is in Video mode, the maximum available video length is 15 seconds to avoid potential overheating of batteries and/or electronic components.
