BUSHNELL 5MP Trophy Cam Trail Camera, Brown Case

Product Review

3 1/2" x 5 1/2" and big enough to revolutionize the industry. The small wonder, on steroids. Along with efficiency of space, an astounding one-year battery life and a one-second trigger speed, the 2010 Trophy Cam is juiced up to a whole new level of performance. This model has been upgraded from 24 to 32 night-vision LEDs for improved image quality after dark. Heightened resolution is now a selectable 3, 5 or 8 megapixels. And still featuring a PIR sensor coverage area 3x larger than any camera we’ve built before, this Trophy Cam is now compatible with up to a 16GB SD card for unmatched image capacity. Select up to three rapid-fire images per trigger, or a 1 second to 60 minute delay. Video mode records a programmable 1 to 60 seconds of footage with enhanced resolution for 2010 Features: Black & White Text LCD 3, 5 or 8 MP high-quality full color resolution Day/night autosensor External power compatible Adjustable PIR (Lo/Med/High) Trigger speed one second Trigger interval – 1 sec. to 60 min. programmable Multi-image mode – 1-3 images per trigger Video length – 1 second to 60 minute delay, programmable Widescreen, VGA, QVGA Video at 20 FPS Temperature range -5° F to 140° F 32 infrared night vision LEDs – 45 ft. range PIR sensor is motion activated out to 45 ft. 4 AA – 8AA batteries (not included) Runs up to one year on one set of batteries Adjustable web belt and 1/4-20 socket SD card slot (up to 16GB)

RTFM People...Good Camera, January 26, 2011

First, let me start by saying I am a wildlife biologist and I have used at least 10 models of these trail cameras over the last 6 years--having set up literally thousands of setups. these are the best ones I have found. After reading the poor reviews I have decided I need to put my 2 cents worth in.... RTFM people!
These cameras are not going to take perfect pictures every time--no remotely place automatic camera under $500 is going to do a perfect job. Get over it. Don't blame the camera for taking too many pictures, or arriving opened, or taking pictures with nothing in them---change your settings, check the camera more often, get it insured and RTFM.
These cameras take great pictures if you set them up correctly, you set them up in the right areas, you know how to make adjustments to settings and you check back on them a few times over the 1st day or two to make those changes. If you want something more sophisticated, which will cost significantly more, you will have to...Read more

For under $200, the 5MP Trophy Cam Brown Night Vision has a long battery life (I've had it in the field for 1 month using 8 lithium AA batteries and the battery level still is at 100%) and a very fast trigger time (~1 second). The trigger time (the amount of time between when movement is sensed and when the picture is taken) is critical to capturing animals on the move. The camera also features high resolution pictures (5 MP), infrared night vision, and it can capture pictures or video. I've posted some of the daytime and nighttime pictures from the trail camera at [...] if anyone is curious. The pictures in both day and nighttime are clear and well exposed. One small drawback is that pictures during dusk and dawn are often a little over saturated. Most of the time, they can be corrected in an image editing program. A 4 GB SD card stores...Read more

This is my first camera, probably my only camera. First off i am generally a cheapskate and do not liked to be nickled and dimed either.
Best things
1. takes pictures and videos. Since it is my first camera not sure if there are better quality photos or videos or not but all i need to know is if there is something going down the trail and what it is. I don't really care if it s a 9 point buck or 10. I figure i can sort the details later.
2. Battery life. I bought this last Aug and an still using the original 8 duracell batteries.
3. Reliability. again its been in use almost 10 months. No problems or issues.
4.Ease of use. had it running in matter of minutes.
5. Price. lowest price camera with all the above. (and it was made by chinese?)
What is better than that!

Negatives. None for me

If you bought one and are experiencing problems take it back and get a new one. Like all manufactured products there will be ones with problems in...Read more
