INTRODUCTION About the TROPHY CAM The Bushnell Trophy 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 5MP still photos), or video clips. The Trophy Cam consumes very little power (less than 300μA) in a stand- by (surveillance) state.

Please note that even in the OFF mode the Trophy Cam still consumes power at a very low level. Therefore, it’s a good idea to take the batteries out of the battery compartment if the camera will not be used for a long time.
