Time l apse Operation (“T-l apse”) “T-Lapse” is a special feature of the Bushnell X-8 Trail Cam, which allows you to monitor your food plots or field edges via time lapse photos or video. When activated, the X-8 Cam will take a photo (or record a video clip) automatically at your choice of intervals during a block 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

If an animal triggers the camera “in between” the 15 minute intervals, it will be recorded, same as it would if you had setup the camera with Time Lapse turned Off (T-Delay set to “OFF”). Note: Time Lapse settings of frequent intervals and/or long periods between start and stop time can reduce battery life. When you’ve finished using the Setup Menu, and are ready to return the camera to normal operating mode, so it will begin to capture photos or videos for you, simply press the Setup but

Gl OSSARY PIR (Passive Infrared Sensor): Senses motion like a typical security motion detector. Requires infrared energy (heat) in addition to motion to trigger the sensor to help limit detection to live subjects (rather than leaves, etc).
