Using the tripod socket: The camera is equipped with a socket at
the bottom end to enable mounting on a tripod or other mounting
accessories with a standard1/4-20 thread.
Note: an accessory solar panel supplemental power source (#119986C)
is also available - please visit www.bushnell.com for more information.
Sensing Angle and Distance Test
To test whether the
Prime L20 Trail Camera
can effectively monitor the
area you choose, this test is recommended to check the sensing angle
and monitoring distance of the
Prime L20 Trail Camera
. To perform
the test:
• Switch the
Prime L20 Trail Camera
to the AIM mode.
• Make movements in front of the camera at several positions within
the area where you expect the game or subjects to be. Try different
distances and angles from the camera.
• If the motion indicator LED light blinks, it indicates that position can be
sensed. If it does not blink, that position is outside of the sensing area.
The results of your testing will help you find the best placement when
mounting and aiming the
Prime L20 Trail 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).
Switching ON the Camera
Once you switch to the ON mode, the motion indicator LED (red) will
blink for about 10 seconds. This gives you time to close and lock the
front cover of the
Prime L20 Trail Camera
and then walk away. During
this time, the motion indicator LED will blink red continuously. After it
stops blinking, the PIR is active, and any motion that is detected by
it will trigger the capture of photos or videos as programmed in the
SETUP Menu. Be sure you have read the descriptions of the Capture
Number, Video Length, Interval and Sensor Level parameters. Please
note, the PIR is strongly sensitive to ambient temperature. The greater
the temperature difference between the environment and your subject,
the farther the possible sensing distance. The average sensing distance
is about 60 ft Before leaving the camera unattended, please check for
the following:
