Bushnell 3, 5 MP Trail Sentry NV Digital Trail Camera with Security Kit
The Bushnell 3, 5 MP Trail Sentry NV Digital Camera lets hunters monitor their favorite hunting grounds 24/7 so they can identify the most productive hunting areas. Its built-in Night Vision capability means that hunters can image game at night at a range of up to 15 feet without using a visible flash which may "spook" some game. The camera provides extended battery life, faster 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 3, 5 MP Trail Sentry NV 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 for keeping records of game activity, and it can also provide a moon phase stamp to correlate game activity to the monthly cycle. Images are saved on a removable SD card, and the images can then be downloaded to a computer via a card reader for editing, saving or sharing with friends.
The Security Kit included with the 3, 5 MP Trail Sentry NV digital camera allows for the camera to be used as a remote observation post with a continuous operation time of up to 180 days. It is an excellent device for observing secured areas and tracking unwanted trespassers, as well as for hunting and game monitoring use.

Comments about Bushnell 3, 5 MP Trail Sentry NV Digital Trail Camera with Security Kit:
I put this up after my mountain cabin got broken into, hoping to catch human trespassers as well as see what animals passed by.
It comes with 4 rechargeable batteries, half of which would not charge.
So I put in 4 industrial Eveready's. In the two weeks following I got 4 pictures - two of a neighbor checking in, and two black. The batteries were depleted after all that hard work. You would think 4 D cells would give 6 months when there is so little IR activity. What is using all that power?
I have to say, though, that the pictures it did take were very good quality.
I am hoping to get some quality rechargeable, cut down a tree for sun, and get the solar panel working.
I also wish there was a way to turn the flash completely off.
