INTRODUCTION
About the NatureView Cam
The Bushnell NatureView Cam is a digital wildlife observation camera. It
can be triggered by any movement of wildlife in a location, detected by a
highly sensitive Passive Infra-Red (PIR) motion sensor, and then take high
quality pictures (up to 8MP still photos), or HD (1080p) video clips.
The NatureView Cam consumes very little power (less than 0.2 mA) in
a stand-by (surveillance) state. This means it can deliver up to six months
stand-by operation time when the device is powered by the full capacity of
AA alkaline batteries, and up to twelve months utilizing lithium AA batteries.
Once motion in the monitored area is detected, the digital camera unit will
be triggered at once (typically within one second) and then automatically
take photos or videos according to previously programmed settings. The
NatureView Cam is equipped with built-in infrared LEDs (No-Glow “black”
IR LEDs) that function as a flash, so that it delivers clear photos or videos (in
black & white) even in the dark, and it can take color photos or videos under
sufficient daylight. The NatureView Cam is designed for outdoor use and is
resistant against water and snow.
Your wildlife camera is one of the latest generation of Bushnell NatureView
Cams, and includes many new or improved features, including:
• Auto PIR Sensitivity-the camera monitors ambient temperature
conditions and automatically adjusts the sensor/trigger signal to be
more sensitive to slight variations in temperature on hot days, less
sensitive on cold days.
• Hyper NightVision-The IR LED Flash array now has increased range,
brighter output and better coverage for improved nighttime images.
• Field Scan 2x with Live Trigger-The “time lapse” feature added in
last year’s models has been enhanced with the addition of the option
for a second block of recording with its own start/stop times. Trigger
signals generated by nearby wildlife activity will still generate additional
photos/videos as they normally would, independently of the Field Scan
operation.
• GPS Geotag Capability-allows the user to input the longitude and
latitude of the camera’s position, which will be embedded in each
photo file. This enables Google Earth, Picassa and other geotag
