Bushnell Digital Trail Scout Features (All Models)
One of the most revolutionary advances in scouting technology to date, the Bushnell Digital trail
Scout delivers. Boasting one of the most user friendly interfaces in the industry, this trail camera
has a positive toggle switch system that instantly tells you what your camera settings are—without
fumbling with a confusing soware interface! e built-in security system has four levels of security.
Every trail Scout comes complete with padlock, cable lock, ratcheting tree bracket for screw attach-
ment, and soware password that locks out would-be thieves. e high resolution digital camera
delivers crisp views of game in your area and stamps each image with the date, time, your name, and
even the moon phase. Along with regular image mode, there is a movie mode for 15 second video
clips with audio. e camera will function during day and night, sensing game out to 45 feet. e
oversized xenon (standard) ash will reach out to 45 feet. Image delay settings include 30 seconds,
1 minute and 2 minutes. e innovative backlit LCD makes set up a breeze in the eld. e trail
Scout is weatherproof and rugged. Resolution is user selectable from 3 options so you can prioritize
quality vs storage space to best suit your needs. An input for a solar panel accessory (optional) is
provided for use with rechargeable batteries to extend the time your camera can remain unattended
in the eld.
