CAMERA OVERVIEW

CAMERA STATUS INDICATOR GUIDE

QUICK START GUIDE

| 1. Download the free Bushnell Trail Camera app on your smartphone from the App Store (iPhone®) or Google Play® (Android®).
---|---
| 2. Open the app, then sign in or create a new account.
| 3. Log in and click the Camera icon at the bottom of the screen, then click “+” to add a new camera. Scan the QR code on the label inside your
camera again or manually enter its serial # to associate this camera with your account.
| 4. Install 12 AA batteries (Energizer® lithium batteries are recommended.
Alkaline batteries may be used but battery life will be shorter.
Rechargeable batteries are not recommended). Be sure to position the batteries for correct polarity (+/-) when installing.
| 5. Install a new SD card, up to 32GB. High speed cards (class 10 or higher) are recommended if you plan to record video clips.
6. Your CelluCORE 20 Dual Sim is equipped with a dual SIM modem. The camera will automatically connect to the carrier with the strongest service (ATT or Verizon) each time the camera is powered on. If you want to ensure you have the strongest signal in a given area, simply power the camera off and power it back on. This will ensure you have maximum signal strength. (We recommend using your camera in a location that gives you minimally two bars of signal
strength. Lower signal strength can cause interruptions in service and shorten battery life.)
7. Your Cellucore 20 Dual Sim comes equipped with a detachable solar panel. Removing and repositioning the panel allows you to achieve maximum sunlight and solar charging regardless of where  the camera lens is pointed. To reposition your panel, remove thethumb screw from the back of the solar panel and mount the panel in another location using a 1/4×20 mounting bracket (not included). (Hint: replace the thumb screw so that you do not misplace it.) Connect
the panel to the camera with the included alternate power supply cable. (This cable is only needed when the solar panel is detached from the camera)
| 8. At the location where you will place the camera, move the power switch to the On position. The camera’s default settings were chosen for typical usage as a
scouting camera for hunters: photo mode at 2MP resolution, with a 10 second interval between photos, and “Medium” LED flash power output. These settings may be easily changed to suit your individual preferences or application (for example, if you would rather capture videos, or photos at a different
resolution, spaced further apart), using the app on your smartphone or home computer.
| 9. Prior to closing the camera, ensure the camera has acquired cellular signal and is operating properly by checking the camera status indicator lights and guide. Lower signal strength can cause interruptions in service and shorten battery life.
Mount the camera to a tree or post using the provided tree strap or 1/4”-20 mounting socket.

Your wireless camera is now ready to use. You can now utilize the mobile application or management website to review images, change camera settings, monitor battery life and manage your account.

SETTINGS MENU

(Check your app for these settings)
CAMERA MODE – Selects type of image files that are stored/ transmitted (note: see “Hybrid” under Video submenu). IMAGE – Still images will be captured by the camera at settings made in the PHOTO menu.
MOVIE – Video clips will be captured at settings made in the VIDEO menu. NOTE: your full HD video files will be stored on the SD card, but they cannot be transmitted wirelessly due to the file size/cell carrier bandwidth.
HYBRID- Captures a single image followed by a video clip.
IMAGE RESOLUTION – Selects resolution (in megapixels) for still photos. Higher resolution provides more pixels for increased detail, but creates larger files that take up more of the SD card capacity (fills up faster). Available settings are: Low, medium and high. Low is the default setting, which will deliver excellent detail while still keeping the file size per image reasonable for most users.
CAPTURES PER TRIGGER- Selects the number of photos captured per trigger event, with settings from 1 to 5 (default is 1 photo per trigger).
VIDEO RESOLUTION – Selects resolution for video clips. Choice of 1280×720 (720p), or 960×544 (544p).
VIDEO LENGTH – Selects duration of each video clip captured per trigger. The default setting is 5S (five seconds per video). From the 10 SEC setting up, length settings are in 5 second increments. Maximum video length is 20 Seconds.
CAMERA NAME – Allows you to enter up to 12 characters of your choice to identify this camera. Especially useful for multi-camera setups. This will be imprinted on each photo.
Default name is “CORE CAM”.
PIR DELAY – Selects the length of time that the camera will ignore additional triggers from the PIR after an animal is first detected and remains within the sensor’s range. During this user set interval, the camera will not capture photos or videos. For example, if a second trigger event occurs 7 seconds after the first, but the delay time is set to 10 seconds, the second trigger will be ignored and a new image will not be captured until the 10 seconds has elapsed. Only the next trigger that occurs after 10 seconds will take a new photo/video, and so on. This prevents the card from filling up with too many redundant images. The default setting is 10 SEC (a ten second delay). From the 10 SEC setting up, delay settings are in 5 second increments. After scrolling past “59
SEC”, settings go from “1 MIN” to “10 MIN” and then progress to 60 MIN at five-minute increments (15 MIN, 20MIN, etc.).
WORK MODE – Determines when the PIR (passive infrared) sensor will activate the camera and capture images.
DAY – 6:00 A.M. – 6:00 P.M.
NIGHT – 6:00 P.M. – 6:00 A.M.
24HRS – PIR Sensor triggers 24 hours a day.
Flash Mode:
SHORT RANGE – This is Medium LED output and fast shutter speed that is designed to capture good images of animals up close. This setting will provide the longest battery life but the shortest flash range.
FAST MOTION – This setting has maximum flash output and fast shutter speed. It will provide the sharpest images and medium flash range and battery life.
LONG RANGE – This setting has High LED output and Slow shutter speed and provides maximum flash range but the least battery life. You will also see more “motion blur” if the objects are moving quickly at night.
TIMESTAMP – The date and time will be set once the camera has connected to the server and will be imprinted on all images.
WIRELESS – Sets cellular signal transmission to ON (default) or OFF.
Communication Frequency:
IMMEDIATELY – Images will be transmitted immediately after they are captured and saved to the SD card.
DAILY – All new images will be transmitted only once daily.
WEEKLY – All new images will be transmitted once per week.
(This setting will give you the best battery life).

MOUNTING & POSITIONING

After you’ve set up the camera’s settings to your preferences, you’re ready start capturing images.
We recommend mounting the camera on a sturdy tree or post with a diameter of about 6 in. To get the optimal picture quality, the camera should be about 16-17 ft. away from the place to be monitored, with the camera placed at a height of 3.5-5 ft. Also, keep in mind that you will get the best results at night when the subject is within the ideal flash range, no farther than 60’ and no closer than 10’ from the camera.
The height away from the ground for placing the device should vary with the animal size appropriately. In general, 3 to 6 feet is preferred. You can avoid potential false triggers due to temperature and motion disturbances in front of the camera by not aiming it at a heat source or nearby tree branches or brush (especially on windy days).
There are two ways to mount the camera:

• Using the provided adjustable belt: Push one end of the belt through the two slots on the back of the trail camera.
  Thread the end of the strap through the buckle. Fasten the belt securely around the tree trunk by pulling the end of the strap firmly so there is no slack left.

• Using the tripod socket: The camera is equipped with a socket at the back (below the strap brackets) to enable mounting on a tripod or other camera mounting accessories that have a standard 1/4”-20 thread.

1. CELLULAR SIGNAL STRENGTH

Q: How do I make sure my camera is connected to the best network in my area?

Your Cellucore 20 Dual Sim checks in with both ATT and Verizon networks each time it is booted up and selects the strongest signal for connection. (We recommend using your camera in a location that gives you minimally two bars of signal strength. Lower signal strength can cause interruptions in service and shorten battery life.)

DATA & DATA PLANS

Q: If I have multiple cameras do I need a data plan for each camera?

Yes, each camera must have an active data plan to transmit images.

Q: How do I cancel or suspend my data plan?

You can Cancel or Suspend your data plan through the wireless application in the “Camera” tab or through the management website.

PHOTOS
