BATTERY and SD CARD INSTALLATION

The Bushnell X-8 Digital Trail Camera is designed to operate using 4 or 8 AA batteries. We recommend using a full set of 8 Lithium (for longest life) or Alkaline batteries.

NOTE: Always set the power switch to the O position when installing or removing batteries.

Please make sure the batteries are inserted correctly, as indicated inside the battery compartment. Incorrect voltage or polarity (+/-) will damage the camera. The battery level meter on the top right of the display will indicate when the internal batteries are low.

Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix battery types-use ALL lithium or ALL alkaline. Rechargeable batteries are not recommended.

Memory

Your X-8 Digital Trail Camera has a memory card slot, to accept SD cards (sold separately) up to 32GB maximum capacity. If no SD card is inserted, the display will ash “NOSD”, and the camera will not operate.

Inserting an SD card

• Make sure the power switch is in the O position whenever adding

or removing memory.

• Insert an SD card into the card slot completely and oriented correctly as shown by the icon above the slot (label up, contacts facing down and notched corner on the right).

• To remove the SD memory card, depress the SD card and pull out the card gently.

Using a new, blank SD card is recommended. If the SD card has been used in another device, please make sure to format using the Format option in the X-8 trail cam’s Setup menu before you set the camera to capture photos/videos. New cards are ready to use straight from the package.

ABOUT THE SETUP MENU

Slide the power switch to the On position. You’ll see “WAIT” on the display, then the Setup Menu screen (see below). Before you start using the camera, you’ll no doubt want to set the date/time so they are imprinted correctly on your photos, and maybe change the trigger delay time and image resolution to your preferences. This is done by editing the settings of an item listed in the Setup Menu. To enter the Setup Menu at any time, press the Setup button (far left side of the control panel).

USING THE SETUP MENU

The Setup Menu has 5 dierent items, which appear on a list in the left frame of the display. Here’s how to edit (change) the setting of a menu item:

1. Select the menu item you want to edit by pressing the Up or Down

button until the item is blinking. Note: you can see the current/

default setting for each item (without changing it) in the main center frame as you move up and down the list of items.

2. Press the Ok button.

3. You can now select the setting you prefer for the selected item

by pressing the Up or Down button. The setting displayed in the center frame will blink until you press Ok to conrm it is the setting you want to save.

4. To exit the Setup menu at any time, simply press the Setup button.

Description/Operation

Press Ok-”T-Delay” will ash. Set the T-Delay time from 1-60 Minutes, using the Up/Down buttons. The T-Delay parameter sets how often photos or videos are captured during the “Duty ” interval. Press Ok-the display will ash “Duty”. Use Up/Down to set the start hour (24 hr format, from 00:00 to 23.00 hours). Press Ok and use Up/Down to set the start minute (:00-:59). Press Ok and repeat the process to set the stop hour and minute. The Duty settings determine the “window” or block of time when photos/ videos will be captured, without requiring a PIR trigger from a live animal. Example: T-Lapse operation (Duty cycle) from 5:30AM to 8:00AM, at 7 minute intervals. NOTE: if you don’t

want the camera to operate in Time Lapse mode, be sure that the T-Delay time is set to “OFF”.

Use Up/Down to set 2M, 4M or 6M (megapixel) still photo resolution (High resolution provides better quality photos, low resolution allows you to store more photos on the SD card), or video length from 5-15 sec. (if Movie mode was selected).

Deletes (erases) all les stored on a card to prepare it for reuse. Always format a card that has been previously used in other devices. Caution! Make sure you

have downloaded and backed up any les on the card that you want to preserve rst! Press Up to

select “FO”, press Ok, then select “Y” (Yes) and press Ok again to conrm you want to format the card. The extra step and “No” defaults help prevent accidental erasure of all your photos/videos.

Time Lapse Operation (“T-Lapse”)

“T-Lapse” is a special feature of the Bushnell X-8 Trail Cam, which allows you to monitor your food plots or eld edges via time lapse photos or video. When activated, the X-8 Cam will take a photo (or record a video clip) automatically at your choice of intervals during a block of time you set up for each day, without requiring a trigger from an active animal. This has the advantage of giving you the ability to monitor the edge of a eld that might be far away from the camera, out of the PIR sensor’s range. The result is an eective range much greater than it would normally be, with the camera dependent on triggers generated by nearby animals. This is a great tool for hunters who own one camera to eectively scout an entire eld, which would otherwise require multiple cameras.

If an animal does enter the area covered by the IR sensor and generate a trigger event during a time between the “Duty” cycle start and stop times you set, the camera will capture an image or video just as it normally would, based on your other menu settings. Here’s how to set up and use Time Lapse (be sure you’ve set the current Date and Time rst, so your Time Lapse recording will stop and start at the correct times of day):

1. Move the power switch to On. Press Setup if necessary to view the

Setup Menu.

2. Press the Up button to select T-Lapse (the Setup Menu starts at

“Date”).

3. Press Ok. “ T-Delay” will ash at the top of the display. Set the T-Delay (time delay) to your preference, from 1 to 60 minutes. Use the Up/ Down buttons to select the T-Delay time, then press Ok to save it. This lets you control how often a photo or video clip is recorded during the block of time you will dene next, with the “Duty” cycle settings. Note that for videos, this is independent of the length of each video recording-it’s how often videos are recorded, not how long each one lasts. Note: when you are not using the time lapse

feature, make sure the T-Delay is set to “OFF” (default) to assure normal operation.

4. Next, set the Duty start hour, using the Up/Down buttons. The Duty

start time determines when time lapse mode recording begins each day. The hour setting is based on a 24-hour clock, with “00” hours = midnight, “12” hours = noon, “23” hrs = 11PM, etc. Press Ok, then set the Duty start minute. After setting the minute, press Ok to save the start time.

5. Next, set the Duty stop hour (24-hr format), using the Up/Down buttons. The Duty stop time determines when time lapse mode recording ends each day. Press Ok, then set the Duty stop minute. After setting the minute, press Ok to save the stop time. The Setup Menu moves to “Set Date”. Press the Setup button to exit the menu. The camera will now operate in time lapse mode, based on the settings you’ve made.

Here’s an example of how the camera would operate, based on the following T- Lapse settings:

T-Delay: 15M Duty start time: 16:00 Duty stop time: 18:30

T-Delay Duty (Start)

How often photos or

videos will be taken

(during Duty cycle)

Time Lapse operation

begins (daily)

Duty (Stop)

Time Lapse operation

ends (daily)

These settings would cause the camera to take a photo (or video, depending on which you have it set for) beginning at 4 PM, then another one at 4:15, 4:30, etc.–one every 15 minutes, until the Time Lapse recording stops at 6:30 PM. The next day, the camera would again record an image or video once every 15 minutes between 4 PM and 6:30 PM. Remember, this is independent of normal triggers due to animal activity– even if no animals enter the IR sensor coverage zone, an image or video will still be captured every 15 minutes during the 2.5 hour block of time.

If an animal triggers the camera “in between” the 15 minute intervals, it will be recorded, same as it would if you had setup the camera with Time Lapse turned O (T-Delay set to “OFF”). Note: Time Lapse settings of

frequent intervals and/or long periods between start and stop time can reduce battery life.

When you’ve nished using the Setup Menu, and are ready to return the camera to normal operating mode, so it will begin to capture photos or videos for you, simply press the Setup button. After you exit the Setup Menu, the display will go blank and the camera is in “sleep” mode. About 30 seconds later, the camera will begin taking photos or videos when triggered, at intervals determined by the trigger delay time setting.

Once your camera has been setup, you are ready to begin using it to capture photos of activity in the area you choose to locate it. Just follow these steps:

CAMERA OPERATION

1. Mount the Camera

It is recommended that you mount the camera about 4 or 5 feet (1.2~1.5 meters) o the ground, with the camera pointed at a slight downward angle. It’s best to avoid mounting the camera facing east or west as the rising and setting of the sun could produce false triggers and overexposed images. Clear branches and other debris away from the front of the camera so as not to block the camera lens or PIR sensor.

To mount the camera in place, insert the strap through the strap slots on the rear housing. Wrap the strap around the mounting surface. Secure the strap and tighten the buckle in order to secure the camera.

Make sure that both door latches are securely locked in place, to ensure proper weather resistance.

2. Power On the Camera

Slide the Power switch to On. Press Setup to exit the Setup Menu if you don’t need to adjust any settings. The display blanks out, and the camera

is in “sleep” status. When the PIR sensor is triggered, it will start to take photos immediately after the delay time (as set in the menu) has passed.

3. Set the PIR and Shutter Switches

The PIR slide switch allows you to increase or decrease the passive infrared sensor’s (PIR) sensitivity to heat. There are three settings, H (high), M (medium) and L (low). When setting up the camera to capture images of wildlife on hot summer days, it can be more dicult for the sensor to detect the temperature dierence between animals and their surroundings. Setting the sensitivity switch to “H” can help, since it makes the PIR more sensitive to small dierences in temperature. The opposite is also true-setting the switch to “L” can help prevent false or too frequent triggers during the low ambient temperatures of winter. And “M” (medium) is a good setting for moderate fall and spring temperatures.

The Shutter slide switch sets the camera’s shutter speed, from Slow (S) to Fast (F). It only aects still photos, not video. It lets you adjust the balance between motion “freeze or blur” and exposure (darker or lighter). If your photos of animals have too much blur when they move around, try a faster shutter setting. If photos come out too dark, try a slower shutter setting. For most normal operation, begin with this switch on “N” (Normal).

4. Test the Coverage Area

One of the X-8 Trail Camera’s most useful features is the ability to test the coverage area.

• After mounting the camera, open the front housing and slide

the Power switch to the “On” position. Press the Setup button if necessary to enter the Setup Menu.

• The PIR indicator light below the lens will blink when you have entered the coverage area.

• Adjust the camera position as needed and repeat the test until the desired coverage area is achieved.

• Press the Setup button again when you are nished using the test mode-the camera will be “sleeping” and waiting for the PIR sensor to trigger the rst photo or video capture.

• Maximum PIR sensor range is approx. 45 ft.

5. Secure the Camera

A standard padlock may be used in the camera’s lock hole to secure it and prevent theft.

6. (Optional) Using an External Power Source

Optionally, you can connect an external 6V DC power source (not provided) to the “DC In” jack at the bottom of the X-8 Trail Cam, under

the rubber pad around the tripod socket (pg. 6). Please be careful to use a compatible power source, making sure that the voltage, minimum current rating, and connector polarity are all correct. If both an external power source is connected and batteries are installed, the X-8 trail cam will be powered by the external power source.

External Power Source Specs: 6 volts DC, 1000mA (1A) minimum current, positive tip connector polarity (+ tip/- sleeve).

VIEWING THE PHOTOS and VIDEOS

Reviewing the photos and/or videos your X-8 camera has captured can be done by one of three methods:

Using an SD Card Reader

1. Push the SD card in slightly to release it then pull it out gently.

2. Put the SD card into any of the widely available SD card readers (either a dedicated SD card reader or “multi-card reader” that features slots for several dierent memory cards, including SD cards).

3. Follow the card reader supplier’s directions to view or download the photo and/or video les on the SD card.

Connecting the Camera to Your Computer via USB

1. Slide the Power switch to the “On” position, then press the Setup

button.

2. Connect your camera’s USB port (left side near the display with

camera unlatched and open) to a PC or Mac computer with the included USB cable.

3. The PC will recognize the camera as an external storage device,

using the “USB Mass Storage” standard (no driver installation necessary-not compatible with Windows 98 or earlier). The PC will display a new disk symbol under “My Computer” or in Windows Explorer (Macs-new disk appears on the desktop), and you will see a dialog window on your desktop with several options to view, move, or copy the photo and video les that are stored on the SD card. The camera’s LCD will display “STO”, meaning the camera is in mass storage mode.

Reviewing Images on an External Video Monitor

A TV monitor can also be used to view photos (or videos) captured by the camera. Connect a TV monitor or other video device that has a standard composite video input (RCA jack) to the X-8 camera’s “TV Out” mini jack using the supplied cable. Then:

• After the cable is connected and the X-8 camera is switched On, the

camera’s display will indicate “TV”.

• The default mode when a video monitor is connected is Review/ Playback, which displays the most recent le stored on the SD card.

• Press the Up button for the previous photo or video and the Down button for the next one. Video les will automatically play for their entire length (5-15 seconds). At the end of the video, press the Up or Down button to select another photo or video.

• To switch to Preview mode, which allows you to view the “live” signal from the camera’s lens, press Ok. Press again to switch back to Review/Playback mode. Press Setup to exit both modes.

• When you are nished using the external video monitor, turn o the camera and disconnect the cable from the TV out jack.

GLOSSARY

PIR (Passive Infrared Sensor): Senses motion like a typical security motion

detector. Requires infrared energy (heat) in addition to motion to trigger the sensor to help limit detection to live subjects (rather than leaves, etc).

Delay Time (Trigger Interval): Time elapsed between photos while events are sensed and recorded. You should set this based on wildlife activity in the area.

Moon Phase: The X-8 trail cam has a feature which imprints a moon phase stamp on each photo for reference.

IR Flash: Also called IR LED Array. This is a “night vision” feature, which emits a burst of infrared light, invisible to the human eye. Especially useful for night photos when a visible ash may be undesirable.

Battery Life: Time that camera will function in the eld. Dependent on ambient temperature, number of images taken and number of times the IR ash res. When the battery voltage drops below 4.5v, the IR ash stops ring. When battery voltage is below 3.5v, the camera stops working.

Single/Multi-Image Modes: The number of pictures the camera takes per PIR trigger (still photo capture mode only).

1P: A single image is captured for each PIR trigger 3P: A three image sequence captured for each PIR trigger

FULL: When the SD card’s memory capacity is full, the LCD display indicates “FULL”

Mass Storage: Connect the camera with a USB cable to a computer, press the “SETUP” button, and the computer can access the contents of the SD card. The camera is automatically recognized as an “external drive”, without the need to install special drivers. (Win 98 and older operating

systems are not supported. Mac OSX is also compatible-the camera will appear on your desktop as an external storage device or “disk”).

Troubleshooting / FAQ

Battery life is shorter than expected

1. Battery life will vary with operating temperature and the number of images taken over time. Typically, the X-8 trail cam will be able to capture several thousand images before the batteries die.

2. Check to make sure you have used new alkaline or lithium batteries. Bushnell recommends using 8 Energizer® Lithium AA

batteries in this Trail Cam to obtain maximum battery life.

3. Make sure that the power switch was turned to the “ON” position and that the camera was not left in Setup mode while in the eld.

4. Make sure that you are using a good quality name brand SD card in your camera. Bushnell recommends SanDisk® brand SD Cards up to 32GB. Our experience indicates that poor quality SD cards can sometimes reduce your X-8 trail cam’s battery life.

Camera stops taking images or won’t take images

1. Please make sure that the SD card is not full. If the card is full, the camera will stop taking images.

2. Check the batteries to make sure that they are new alkaline or lithium AA batteries. See note above about short battery life.

3. Make sure that the camera power switch is in the “ON” position and not in the “OFF” position or in Setup mode.

4. Make sure that you are using a good quality SD card in your camera. Bushnell recommends SanDisk® SD Cards up to 32GB.

5. If the SD card has its write protect switch in the lock position, the camera will not take images.

6. If you have used an SD card in another device before inserting it in your X-8 trail cam, you might want to try formatting the card using the “Format” parameter in Setup mode (make sure you have backed up any important les rst, as formatting will erase all previous les). In some cases, other devices may change the formatting of the SD card so that it will not work properly with the X-8 trail cam.



Troubleshooting / FAQ

Camera won’t power up

1. Make sure that you have installed all 8 batteries in the battery compartment. Bushnell recommends using 8 Energizer®

Lithium AA batteries in this X-8 trail cam.

2. Make sure that the batteries are installed correctly, observing proper polarity. Always place the negative (at) end of each battery in contact with the spring tab side of its slot inside the camera.

Do not mix old and new batteries.

Do not mix battery types-use ALL lithium or ALL alkaline.

Rechargeable batteries are not recommended.

Still Photo and/or Video Quality Problems

1. Night photos or videos appear too dark

a. Try using a set of new batteries. The ash will stop operating near the end of the battery life. b. You will get the best results when the subject is within the ideal ash range, no farther than 45’ from the camera. Subjects may appear too dark at greater distances. c. Please note that when the still photo mode is set to “3P”, or with very short Delay time settings, some images may appear darker than others due to the quick response and rapid retriggering of the camera, allowing less time for the ash to fully recharge before ring again.

2. Daytime photos or videos appear too dark

Make sure that the camera is not aimed at the sun or other light sources during the day, as this may cause the auto exposure to produce darker results.

3. Night photos or videos appear too bright

You will get the best results when the subject is within the ideal ash range, no closer than 10’ (3m) from the camera. Subjects may appear too light at closer distances.

4. Daytime photos or videos appear too bright

Make sure that the camera is not aimed at the sun or other light sources during the day.

Troubleshooting / FAQ

5. Photos with streaked subject

a. In some cases with low lighting conditions and fast moving subjects, the 6M (megapixel) resolution setting may not perform as well as the 2M or 4M settings. b. If you have multiple images where fast moving subjects produce streaks on the photo, try the 2M resolution setting instead.

6. Red , green or blue color cast

a. Under certain lighting conditions, the sensor can become confused resulting in poor color images. b. If this is seen on a consistent basis, then the sensor may need servicing. Please contact Bushnell customer service.

7. Short video clips—not recording to the length set

a. Check to make sure that the SD card is not full. b. Make sure that the camera has good batteries in it. Near the end of the battery life, the camera may choose to record shorter video clips to conserve power.

Photos Do Not Capture Subject of Interest

1. Try to set your camera up in an area where there is not a heat source in the camera’s line of sight.

2. In some cases, setting the camera near water will make the camera take images with no subject in them. Try aiming the camera over ground.

3. Try to avoid setting the camera up on small trees that are prone to being moved by strong winds.

4. Remove any limbs which are right in front of the camera lens.

PIR Sensor LED Flashes/Doesn’t Flash

1. When the camera is in the “Setup” mode, the PIR Indicator LED on the front of the camera will ash when it senses motion. This is for setup purposes only and will help the user aim the camera.

2. During use, the LED will not ash when the camera takes an image. This is to help keep the camera hidden from game.

Troubleshooting / FAQ

Camera won’t retain settings

Make sure that you have been saving the changes to any parameter settings that you made while in Setup mode, by pressing “OK” after changing the setting. If you don’t save your new setting after changing it, the camera will continue to use the original default setting for that parameter.

Do not mix old and new batteries.

Do not mix battery types-use ALL lithium or ALL alkaline.

Rechargeable batteries are not recommended.
