Capture photos and video of wildlife or trespassers with the brown Trophy Cam HD Essential E3 Digital Low-Glow Trail Camera from Bushnell . It produces up to 16MP still images and records HD 720p video. The adjustable passive infrared motion sensor detects subjects up to 100 feet away, and the fast 0.3-sec trigger speed assures you won't miss the shot.
The camera also operates in Time-Lapse shooting mode using Bushnell's Field Scan 2X technology, capturing images at selectable intervals so you can see patterns and change over time. This capability is useful for recording a wide range of subjects, including: game, weather, plants, and construction sites.
Offering an effective flash range of 80 feet, 32 LEDs combined with Hyper Night Vision technology produce bright after-dark images. The Essential E3 is also equipped with a day/night auto sensor to help with proper exposure.
The camera records photos and videos to a user-supplied SD/SDHC 32GB memory card. Power is provided by 8 user-supplied AA batteries. The camera comes with a tree-mounting strap but is also equipped with a 1/4"-20 threaded mount.
Features
Photo and Video Capture
- Maximum Still Image Resolution: 16MP
- Video Resolution: HD 720p
- Video Length: Programmable from 5-60 sec
Motion Sensor
- Passive infrared motion sensor captures images when triggered by subject movement
- Detects changes in temperature that occur when subjects move, and captures images in response
- 100' detection range
- 48° angle of coverage
- Very fast 0.3-sec trigger speed helps ensure you won't miss the shot
- Adjustable Sensitivity: Low, medium, and high
- Sensitivity can also be set to auto mode, in which case it will be regulated automatically based on temperature
- Programmable Trigger Interval: 1 sec to 60 min
Interval Recording
- Field Scan 2X Time-Lapse mode captures images at selectable intervals from 1-60 min, within the hours of your choice
- Two available time slots so you can monitor activity during dusk and dawn
- Allows you to see patterns and change over time
- Useful for recording a wide range of subjects/events, including game, weather, plants, and construction site development
- Live motion trigger is still active during Time-Lapse capture, so it will capture images whenever it senses motion to prevent you from missing action in between time intervals
Continuous Shooting
