ABOUT THE PIR SENSOR

e sensor that triggers the trail camera is Passive Infra Red, or PIR. Infrared energy is essentially heat energy.

e PIR detector operates by sensing a change in the infrared level in its detection zone. is zone is a cone in the

center 10 degrees of the camera’s eld of view. e camera establishes an average long-term infrared level. When

this level increased suddenly the PIR detector signals the camera to record a picture and/or an event. Because of

this eect, the PIR detector will be more sensitive at night, when the average temperature is lower.

You can use the red LED indicator on the front of the camera to conrm the detection zone.When PIR is sensed,

this “PIR detected” indicator will light. e camera’s eld of view is a 45 degree cone, centered on the PIR detection

zone.

MOON PHASE STAMP

All new Trail Sentry models have a “moon phase” stamp feature. is links the current date (as set by the user in

the setup procedure) to the phase of the moon on that date (this data is stored on an internal memory chip), and

imprints a icon on your photo which represents the moon phase when the photo was taken. e moon phase icon

will appear on your photos in the lower le, next to the Bushnell logo. Some hunters will nd this to be a useful

reference, as it can help determine if particular animals are inactive at night when a full or nearly full moon is

present, causing them to be more visible to predators. Or, if some of your night photos seem to have a darker or

lighter background (beyond the range of the LED lamps or ash), you can see if that was related to how bright the

moon was at the time. e icons for the various phases of the moon are shown below:
