I want to mount this to a tree for security..does it come with a strap? Can you tell me the range? How high can I mount it and it still capture the image of a person.

Mine is in a tree. My problem is always having to climb up there and trim limbs back or when they blow in wind it will set off camera. I had 1000 photos of a tree limb one time. It captures all images all down my driveway. Probably 160 feet. However a person would have to get within 50' I would think for you to be able to make out a face. I just use to see what cars come onto my property while I am gone. I am still on the same batteries after at least a year. I have mine mounted about 10 or 12 feet high. I have to get out the ladder to take the card in and out.

Yes it does come with a strap. The nite time range for a clear is maybe 30 ft. U can mount this camera as high as u want to as long as it is pointed down towards where u want to capture pic. Or 5 ft high facing straight out

Yes, it comes with a strap. We use ours for security as well. We have ours mounted about 3.5 feet from the ground.

Yes it does come with a strap. Large enough for a good size tree. Range for day shots max 30ft. Night shots about 15-20 ft... more than that image get more grainy. I've had good luck within these limits, mounted about 4 ft high.

I haven't bought it but was wondering the same thing . no matter what you attach a gopro to, always put a " leash " on it. Cord from camera to mount, to object you are mounting to as a safety back up

I don't recall whether it comes with a strap or not. What I do know, and have advice about is...save your money. THe pic quality delivered by this camera is terrible.

The camera clicks when it takes a pic. The sensor range is very long...could be as much a 70 ft. I love the camera. The only bad thing is that when the wind blows, you could have about 5,000 snaps because of moving trees or bushes in front, even a good ways down.Even moving cars. But I rather have too many pix than not enough. The video is cool too but eats up more of the battery. So use as necessary.

I have scuba dived with it. It is not particularly useful. The wrist mount does not point naturally in a direction that you want to shoot.I would recommend something that points in the direction that you want to shoot. A head or chest mount, or a head mount with a pole that points back towards you would be better. It is not particularly stable either as the strap will only tighten so far. The strap holding the mount to the wrist strap is not tight and can come loose; you won't lose the camera, but it will dangle from the other strap mount and footage will be 'shaky' to say the least.

Hi, You have a choice, the kit has an antenna that screws straight onto the monitor or there is an antenna on a long cord about 8 10 feet ( I didn't measure it) that you can place up higher even outside. I used the antenna that screws straight into the monitor and have a perfect signal. This truck have a very large and high hydraulic tail gate as is a drop side stake body and I still get a perfect signal with the camera on the tag plate holder lower back just above the bumper. The camera antenna goes straight on top of same no problem.So the signal goes past all that steel. John.

when you buy the camera make sure it says ''infrared'' for if it dose it should have a category of pic or video. If it dosebuy it.it will take video clips at night when the motion detector is triggered. If your using it for surveillance add more cammo nettingto the camera to break up image. Use rubber cement to attach extra cammo netting. Drill a hole in the back and attach it to tree with a power tool.it works! tauz

Detection range side to side is real close to 180deg. It is quite sensitive of my movement even at the end of this range! Also, it does not seem to be activated by tree limbs blowing - amazingly. Distance for detection of a person (for mine at approximately 10 feet high) is about 40-50 feet. I am VERY happy with this item. It lights my entire path from the car to the house and stays on while I am moving. Very easy to adjust to preferences too.

It comes with an adjustable strap, will go around a tree about 15 inches in diameter.

I use the Bushnell 8mp Trophy Camera as a security camera, in addition to using it for photos of wildlife around our property. It works so well that we have several. Easy to use. Yes, would recommend as a security camera.

I don't use lockboxes..they only make the cam stand out more and make it more tempting for any thieves. Place the cam 12+ feet off the ground if you can do it safely aiming downward. Most people aren't looking up when they're walking. Camoflage with native foliage or velcro strips attached to "sneaky leaves" with a staple and the other piece of velcro stuck to the cam. Well camo'd cams on the ground are also good. I recently got a Browning "no glow" cam which makes the cam even less obvious, but the Trail Ranger is a good cam.

I believe you can mount it to a tree. It comes with very comprehensive instructions from what I remember. Very well made.

It comes with a strap for the tree and you hook your harness to that but I bought a choke style strap for the tree for $20.00 that was lot easier to use

It depends on how sensitive you set the sensitivity slider motion-sensor. Too sensitive, and you get the breeze blowing any trees at a far distance. Ours works at about 300 feet and we had to turn the sensitivity to about 1/4 up. Otherwise, it records everything you don't want to record.

it can be attached to a tree with screws or a cable through holes in security box. Place camera in box and secure with a lock.

It comes with a strap of webbing and clip to strap it to a tree or other object. I have it strapped around a bucket because I'm watching for shorter predators. Cold weather works great (In North Texas winter is 20-30 degrees for lows). Rain isn't perfect for picture quality, as any lens that gets water on it will blur the image. It is sealed and stays dry inside.

For my application it has worked well. I am a firefighter and use it on Technical Rescue drills. This involves a lot of movement in all weather conditions. The base that this mounts to is probably the weak link if it were to fail. The one I installed seems to very secure and I feel confident that it will hold for normal use. I cannot attest to having the camera impacted by objects since that has not happened to me as of yet. The best answer that I could give is that if the attachment is as secure on my bike helmet as it is on my TRT helmet I would not hesitate to use it and any rides.
