7. At the location where you will place the camera, move the power switch to the On position. The
camera’s default settings were chosen for typical usage as a scouting camera for hunters: photo mode at
2MP resolution, with a 10 second interval between photos, and “Medium” LED flash power output.
These settings may be easily changed to suit your individual preferences or application (for example, if
you would rather capture videos, or photos at a different resolution, spaced further apart),using the app
on your smartphone or home computer.
8. Prior to closing the camera, ensure the camera has acquired cellular signal by checking the signal
strength meter pictured below. Lower signal strength can cause interruptions in service and shorter
battery life. Mount the camera using the provided tree strap or 1/4”‐20 mounting socket. A leveling arm
to adjust the camera’s angle is provided near the lower rear of the camera.

Your wireless camera is now ready to use. You can now utilize the mobile application or
management website to review images, change camera settings, monitor battery life and other
functions of the camera.

SETTINGS MENU
Set Clock
Sets the hour (24‐hr format only, “00”= midnight, “12”=noon), minute, year, month, and date.
Mode
Selects the format your camera will record in.
Camera: For photos only.
Video: For videos only.
Hybrid: A photo (multiple photos, if NUM PICS is set >1) followed by a video clip will be captured for
each PIR trigger event.
Image Size
Chooses the image resolution and size. Note: Larger sizes mean higher image resolutions that take up
more space on the SD card. Medium is the recommended default for good resolution and smaller size.
Capture Number
Selects how many photos are taken in sequence per trigger. This setting affects photos taken in
Camera, Hybrid, and Field Scan mode.
Image Format
Selects the aspect ratio of your photos.
Video Size
Selects video resolution.
3840x2160: Maximum resolution, takes up the most space on your SD card.
1920x1080: The recommended default resolution, clear resolution without filling up your SD too fast.
1280x720: Lowest resolution. Good for videos when resolution is not critical.
Note: We recommend SanDisk® SDHC class 10 or higher.
Video Length
Sets length per video clip. 10 seconds is the recommended default. Press OK to see other options.
Nighttime limit of 15 seconds when Illumination Mode = “Long Range”. The “Dynamic” setting provides
a variable video length, based on animal activity within PIR range and your Interval and Illumination
Mode settings.
Camera Name
Allows you to enter a name for your camera that will appear on the image time stamp. Press the OK
button to choose “Input” and go to the name input screen. If necessary, select the arrow in the upper
right of the keyboard to erase the current camera name, then enter the new name using the arrow
buttons and keyboard. Press the OK button to select a letter.
Press MENU to save the name to memory.
PIR Delay
Selects the length of time that the camera will “wait” until it responds to any additional triggers from
the PIR. Settings begin with 5 second default when parameter is first selected. To choose other
intervals, press OK, and select by using the arrow buttons.
The shorter your delay, the more images you’ll get.
Coordinate
Allows you manually input GPS coordinates that will appear on image time stamps. This can be useful when
running multiple cameras in an area, especially in research scenarios.
On: Takes you to coordinate setting options.
Off: The default setting.
Field Scan
Allows you to capture images without requiring a trigger during a specified time period and interval.
For instance, it will take picture every 5 minutes between 8am and 5pm if that is your desired time
period.
On: Allows you to select two time periods within a 24‐hour period and the interval.
Off: The recommended default.
’
Flash Mode
Selects the shutter speed.
Note: These settings only affect the quality of your nighttime images.
Short Range: Recommended for subjects at less than 60’.
Fast Motion: Recommended for subjects moving quickly through the frame.
Long Range: Recommended for maximum illumination range and field of view. (You may experience
more motion blur at this.)
PIR Sensitivity
Auto sensor level will automatically adjust the sensor level depending on the surrounding temperature.
Auto: Automatically sets sensor level based upon temperature.
High: Recommended when air temperature is above 70° or when maximum range is desired.
Med: Recommended when air temperature is 45‐70° or when range is up to 70’.
Low: Recommended when air temperature is below 45° or when range is up to 40’.
MOUNTING & POSITIONING
After you’ve set the camera’s settings to your personal preferences, you’re ready to take it outside to
start capturing images. When using the camera for scouting game or other applications, you must be
sure to mount it in place correctly and securely. We recommend mounting it on a sturdy tree with a
diameter of about 6 in. (15cm). To get the optimal picture quality, the tree should be about 16‐17 ft. (5
meters) away from the place to be monitored, with the camera placed at a height of 3.5‐5 ft. (1~1.5 m).
Also, keep in mind that you will get the best results at night when the subject is within the ideal flash
range, no farther than 80’ (24m) and no closer than 10’ (3m) from the camera.
There are two ways to mount the camera:
• Using the provided adjustable belt: Push one end of the belt through the two slots on the
back of the Impulse Camera. Thread the end of the strap through the buckle. Fasten the belt
securely around the tree trunk by pulling the end of the strap firmly so there is no slack left.
• Using the tripod socket: The camera is equipped with a socket at the back (below the strap
brackets) to enable mounting on a tripod or other camera mounting accessories that have a
standard 1/4”‐20 thread.
USING AN EXTERNAL POWER SOURCE
(Power accessory not included)
Connect the optional (119986C) Accessory Solar Panel (please visit www.bushnell.com for more
information) to the “DC In” jack at the bottom of the camera (other external power supplies should not
be used, as the camera and/or display may not function correctly). If the solar panel is connected and
AA batteries are installed, the camera will be powered by the solar panel’s rechargeable lith‐ion
battery, as long as it provides adequate voltage (if not, the camera will switch to battery power). The
solar panel’s battery will power the camera at night.

Data & Data Plans
Q: If I have multiple cameras do I need a data plan for each camera?
A: Yes, each camera must have an active data plan to transmit images.
Q: How do I cancel or suspend my data plan?
A:You can Cancel or Suspend your data plan through the wireless application in the “Camera” tab or through the
management website.
Photos
Q:Can I transmit photos to more than one cell phone number or email address?
A: Accounts are tied to a customer’s e‐mail address. You can have multiple devices logged into the same
account but only one e‐mail address per account. If you wish to share your photos with others you will need to
share the account log in information with them.
Q: How do I delete photos on my account?
A:There are several ways to delete images. From the tile view screen you can hold down on the image and it will
select the image (place a check next to it). Once it is selected you can click the Trash Can icon to delete it. You
can also delete the image from the individual image view by clicking the Trash Can Icon.
Videos
Q: How do I have a full video sent to my account?
A: If there is a vide captured by the camera there will be a triangle shown on the thumbnail image. If you wish
to have that video transmitted click on the image and select “download video”. The Camera will then send the
video on its nightly check in. This is done to prevent excess data transmission and preserve battery life by not
sending videos that the user doesn’t want. All of the videos will also be saved on the SD card.
SD Cards
Q: What size and brand SD card?
A: We recommend SanDisk Class 10 up to 32GB
Batteries
Q: What should I expect from my battery life?
A: Average battery life is about 6 months with the Impulse on default setting and powered by lithium AA
batteries. Battery life will be shorter
if settings are set to take multiple photos per trigger, take photos/videos more frequently (short delay times), or
LED flash output is increased.
Accessories
Q: Do you have a solar panel my camera?
A: Yes, the 119986C solar panel is compatible with ALL Bushnell cellular trail cameras.
