The Bushnell 2,4 MP Birding Trail Sentry Digital Trail Camera lets users monitor their favorite birding areas. The cameras close focus capability means that you can put it near a bird feeder or in a fruit bearing tree and snap close-up photos of birds in action. The camera provides extended battery life, fast trigger times and weatherproof construction so it can perform without fail in any climate or application. It produces high quality, color photos, and it can be set to take still images or video clips.
The Trail Sentry digital camera is easy to set up and operate. The four toggle switches on the cameras control panel allow the user not only to turn the unit on and off, but to switch from video to still, set the camera's delay time and set the unit to operate during the day or night only, or 24 hours a day. The digital camera is activated by motion, and it uses a passive infrared sensor to detect motion out to 45 feet. When a full color image is captured, it is stamped with the date and time and saved on a removable SD card. The images can then be downloaded to a computer for editing, saving or sharing with friends.
