Here is a Game Trail Camera User Manual

You don’t have to be a big game hunter to benefit from all that a trail camera offers.

There have been massive technological advancements in the game trail camera and the cameras feature many ‘nice to have’ features and some that are sheer necessities.

These features will influence trail camera prices.

Known as a game or wildlife camera, this camouflaged camera is convenient to install out in the wild or in your backyard.

It comes with a passive infrared motion detector. When an animal walks into its field of view, it triggers the shutter.

Trail cameras run on AA batteries, 5V solar panels, or DC 5V power. 

To get the trail camera working, place the AA batteries in the battery box compartment. Insert TF card to the camera and put the switch to ‘ON’

Movement sets off the trail camera’s shutter. Trigger speed describes the time there is between the movement of the animal and when the photo is captured. 

With a game trail camera, you want the picture to be captured as soon as possible before the animal moves out of view.

It’s why you get game trail cameras that come with 0.2-second trigger speeds. An example of such a camera is the Browning Strike Force Apex pictured here.

Apart from the camera’s 900p HD video and 18MP photos, it comes with lots of other thrilling features.

It can detect movement up to about 80 ft. If you set the camera in video mode, you can set both video quality and video length options. We look at a brief game trail camera user manual – a basic guide to give you an idea of what else you can expect.
