PIR—Passive Infrared Sensor. Senses motion like typical security motion detector. Requires infrared energy (heat) in addition to motion to trip sensor to assure detection of live animals.
Event—Any time that the PIR senses motion it counts it as an event. Events are recorded to the SD card in a text file. Events are recorded continuously during operation.
Image—A digital picture recorded on the SD Card when motion is sensed. Images are taken at the desired delay between im- ages.
Image Delay—Time elapsed between photos while events are sensed and recorded. This is user-set based on wildlife activity in area.
IR Flash—IR LED Array—Infrared LED Night Vision feature. Emits a burst of infrared light which is invisible to the human eye. Especially useful for night photos when a visible flash is undesirable. (Featured on Models 119935/119905 only)
Std (Standard) Flash—Xenon flash tube used for low light or night photography. Automatically fires if necessary due to dark, overcast skies or waning light late in the day.
SD Card—Memory card used to store images and events. Compatible with up to 1GB capacity SD card (all new Trail Scouts include a 128MB card).
Battery Life—Time that camera will function in the field. Dependent on temperature, number of images and number of flashes during that time.
Setup—Using the display menu and buttons to set the date/time, still photo or movies, and password.
Security—One of the most important requirements of any trail camera. The Trail Scouts have 4 security features—padlock tab, tree bracket, cable lock, and software password.
Trigger Speed—Time delay between a subject passing in front of PIR sensor and the image capture of that subject.
14 | All Bushnell Trail Cameras have a trigger speed of less than one second. |
