DATE AND TIME IMPRINT FEATURE
Your Digital BULLET PROOF 2 Game Camera will automatically imprint
the date, time and moon phase on each photo it captures, based on the
initial date and time data in a text le you can generate and save on the
SD card, as described below. If no text le with date/time is found on the
card when the camera is turned on, only “Primos” will be imprinted on
the photos.
Requirements:
A PC computer with an internal SD card slot, or an external USB
card reader.
The “Timetool” application (Windows only-Mac users see next page),
which is provided by the camera-see details below.
Steps:
1. Insert a new SD card in the cameras card slot.
Switch the BULLET PROOF 2 Game Camera
to “PIC. The Timetool.exe software will be
automatically saved to the card. The Operating
Status indicator LED (pg. 9) will go out when this
is done. Do not remove the card while the LED is on.
2. Turn o the camera and
remove the SD card. Insert
the card in your computers
SD card slot or a compatible
USB connected card reader.
View the SD card contents-
double click to open the le
“timetool.exe. Note: if the
Timetool window doesn’t pop
up after inserting the card, go
to Start>Computer, and double
click “Removable Storage” to
view the SD card contents.
3. Click “Update in the Timetool
window to automatically ll in
the date and time from your
2

computers clock. If this is not the correct date and time, click
“Edit and make changes as needed.
4. Click the ... button above Cancel and select the SD card location
(drive letter). Or, if you know the drive letter for the SD card (e.g.
“D:\”), change the A in the white box to the correct letter.
5. Once the date/time data is correct and youve selected your SD
card location, click OK to save the text le.
6. Remove the SD card (eject it rst if necessary) and insert it into
your BULLET PROOF 2 Game Camera (label side up as previously
described). The date and time data will be automatically loaded
into the camera, and the text le (txt) will be deleted. It is
important to get the card from computer to camera as soon as
possible to ensure the initial time is still accurate.
Note: it is not necessary to reinstall Timetool before inserting another
(new) SD card, as long as battery power is maintained.
Setting Up The Date & Time Imprint Feature
For Mac Users
Since the Timetool software built into the camera is Windows only, you
will need to create a compatible text le using your Mac, save it on an SD
card and load it into the camera. This only needs to be done once, unless
the cameras batteries are not replaced before they are completely dead.
1. Insert a new, unused SD card (up to 32GB) into a compatible USB
card reader connected to your Mac (most Mac laptops have an
SD card slot built-in, please consult your computer manual if
necessary).
2. Open the TextEdit application on your Mac. This is the default
simple text editing program included with the Mac operating
system. A quick way to locate and open it is to click the
magnifying glass icon at the top right of your screen (Spotlight)
and type “text edit”-you will see it listed under Application”-click
the TextEdit line to open it.
3. In the blank TextEdit window, type (only) the current date and
time using this format: TIME”YYYYMMDDHHMM (include the
word TIME” with quote marks. Do not add spaces, hyphens or
slashes. Do not use bold type). For example, if the current date is
13
October 6, 2015 and the time is 10:38 AM, you would enter this:
TIME”201510061038. Note that the time format is 24 hour, not
12, so enter the hour of 1:00 PM as “13”, etc.
4. Under the File menu in TextEdit, select “Save As, and select the
SD card slot or reader as the save location. If you don’t see it in the
Where list, click the down arrow to the right of “Save As to see
a complete list of Devices-the SD card should be on there. Make
sure the File Format is “Rich Text Format” (.rtf). Name the TextEdit
le TIMESYNC and click Save to save it to the SD card.
5. Eject the SD card (right click, select “Eject (name of card)_”, and
wait for the card icon to disappear from your Mac desktop).
6. Make sure the Primos cams power switch is o. Insert the SD card
into the cameras card slot, then switch on the camera. Test the
date imprint by waving a hand in front of the camera a few times
during a minute or two.
7. Switch o the camera and remove the card. Insert the card in
your Mac’s card slot or USB card reader. Double click to view
the card contents. The .jpg photos or .avi videos are in the DCIM
folder. Open a few to verify that the correct date and time are
being imprinted at the bottom of each photo.
8. If the correct date and time are not imprinted on the photos,
repeat these steps exactly as written. The SD card can be
reformatted (erasing all previous contents) on your Mac by using
the default Disc Utility app. Select the name of the card, select
“Erase and select the Format “MS-DOS (FAT), then click “Erase…
POWER ON / MODE SELECT
After inserting batteries and an SD card (w/date & time le at your option),
slide the power switch to the PIC (Picture) position if you wish to capture
still photos, or all the way up to the MOV (Movie) position if you prefer to
capture videos. The PIR/Battery and Operating Status indicator lights(LED
below Primos logo) will warn of problems with the SD card or battery.
If the Operating Status indicator LED (pg. 9) blinks, there is a problem
with the SD card. Check the card (make sure its inserted correctly
and protect switch is not locked) or switch to a new card if it is full.
If the PIR/Battery indicator LED (pg. 8) blinks, battery power levels
14
are low. The batteries should be changed to ensure continued
operation.
During a video recording, the Operating Status indicator LED will
glow a steady green. DO NOT switch o the camera while this is on,
or the video le may become damaged and unplayable.
To capture photos/videos of activity in the area you choose to locate your
Primos BULLET PROOF 2 Game Camera, follow the steps listed next in
SET UP”:
SET UP
1. Mount the Camera
It is recommended that you mount the camera about 3 or 4 feet (0.9~1.2
meters) o the ground. Its best to avoid mounting the camera facing east
or west as the rising and setting of the sun could produce false triggers
and overexposed images. Clear branches and other debris away from the
front of the camera so as not to block the camera lens or PIR sensor.
To mount the camera in place, insert the strap through the strap slots on
the rear housing. Wrap the strap around the mounting surface. Secure
the strap and tighten the buckle in order to secure the camera.
Make sure that the cameras latch is securely locked in place, to ensure
proper weather resistance.
2. Power On the Camera
If both SD card and batteries are good, the camera will begin taking
photos or videos 10 seconds after you move the switch to PIC or MOV,
whenever it is triggered by the PIR sensors heat/motion detection. Each
time the PIR sensor is triggered, the camera will take a new photo or video
following a 10 second delay. For the rst three minutes of operation, the
PIR indicator LED will light for about 3 seconds when it senses animal or
human activity within the PIR coverage area. See Test the Coverage Area
below.
15
3. Test the Coverage Area
One of the BULLET PROOF 2 Game Cameras most useful features is the
ability to test the coverage area.
After mounting the camera, open the front housing and slide the
Power switch to the PIC position.
The red Indicator LED above the lens will glow for 3 seconds when
you trigger the PIR by entering the coverage area.
Adjust the camera position as needed and repeat the test until the
desired coverage area is achieved.
After three minutes, the PIR indicator will not glow when you are
in the coverage area (to avoid being seen by animals or potential
thieves. The camera is now sleeping and waiting for the PIR sensor
to trigger the an image capture.
Maximum PIR sensor range is approx. 13 meters (42 ft).
4. Secure the Camera
A standard padlock may be used in the cameras lock hole to secure it and
prevent theft.
VIEWING THE PHOTOS/VIDEOS
After your camera has been operating for awhile, you will of course
want to review the photos it has been capturing. This can be done by
either of two methods, according to your preference or the availability of
accessory equipment:
Using an SD Card Reader
1. Push the SD card in slightly to release it, then pull it out of the
camera gently.
2. Put the SD card into a USB connected SD card reader (either a
dedicated SD card reader or “multi-card reader that features slots
for dierent types of memory cards, including SD) or the SD card
slot on your computer if it has one.
Angle of PIR Coverage=42 degrees
Lens Angle of View=40 degrees
16
3. The SD card or card reader should appear on your desktop or list of
connected drives. Double click it to view or download the photo
les (.jpg) and/or video les (.avi) on the SD card.
Note: while it may be possible to view the les on many digital cameras,
it is not recommended. If you do insert the SD card in a digital camera,
we recommend you perform a full format of the card using a computer
before re-inserting the card into the Game Camera.
GLOSSARY
PIR (Passive Infrared Sensor): Senses motion like a typical security motion
detector. Requires infrared energy (heat) in addition to motion to trigger
the sensor to help limit detection to live subjects (rather than leaves, etc).
Moon Phase: The BULLET PROOF 2 Game Camera has a feature which
imprints a moon phase stamp on each photo for reference. The moon
phase is based on the date/time settings.
IR Flash: Also called IR LED Array. This is a “night vision feature, which
emits a burst of infrared light, invisible to the human eye. Especially
useful for night photos when a visible ash may be undesirable.
Battery Life: Time that camera will function in the eld. Dependent on
ambient temperature, number of images taken and number of times the
IR ash res. When the battery voltage drops below 4.5v, the IR ash stops
ring. When battery voltage is below 3.5v, the camera stops working.

Battery life is shorter than expected
1. Battery life will vary with operating temperature and the number
of images taken over time.
2. Check to make sure you have used new alkaline or lithium
batteries. Primos recommends using 4 Energizer® Lithium AA
batteries in this BULLET PROOF 2 Game Camera to obtain
maximum battery life.
3. Make sure that you are using a good quality name brand SD card
in your camera. Primos recommends SanDisk® brand SD Cards
up to 32GB. Our experience indicates that poor quality SD cards
can sometimes reduce your BULLET PROOF 2 Game Cameras
battery life.
Camera stops taking images or won’t take images
1. Please make sure that the SD card is not full. If the card is full, the
camera will stop taking images.
2. Check the batteries to make sure that they are new alkaline or
lithium AA batteries. See note above about short battery life.
3. Make sure that the camera power/mode switch is in the PIC or
MOV position and not in the OFF position.
4. Make sure that you are using a good quality SD card in your
camera. Primos recommends SanDisk® SD Cards up to 32GB.
5. If the SD card has its write protect switch in the lock position, the
camera will not take images.
6. In some cases, other devices may change the formatting of the
SD card so that it will not work properly with the BULLET PROOF
2 Game Camera. If you have used an SD card in another device
before inserting it in your BULLET PROOF 2 Game Camera, you
might want to try formatting the card on your computer (make
sure you have backed up any important les rst, as formatting
will erase all previous les). Be sure to use a “full” or standard
formatting procedure-do not use partial or quick format options
(make sure “Quick Format” is unchecked). Use the “FAT32” format,
not “NTFS” format, to ensure the camera will recognize the card.
Troubleshooting / FAQ
19
Camera wont power up
1. Make sure that the batteries are installed correctly, observing
proper polarity. Always place the negative (at) end of each
battery in contact with the spring tab side of its slot inside the
camera.
Still Photo and/or Video Quality Problems
1. Night photos appear too dark
a. Try using a set of new batteries. The ash will stop operating
near the end of the battery life.
b. You will get the best results when the subject is within the
ideal ash range, no farther than 45’ / 14m from the camera.
Subjects may appear too dark at greater distances.
2. Daytime photos appear too dark
a. Make sure that the camera is not aimed at the sun or other
light sources during the day, as this may cause the auto exposure
to produce darker results.
3. Night photos appear too bright
a. You will get the best results when the subject is within the ideal
ash range, no closer than 10’ / 3m from the camera. Subjects
may appear too light at closer distances.
4. Daytime photos appear too bright
a. Make sure that the camera is not aimed at the sun or other
light sources during the day.
5. Red , green or blue color cast
a. Under certain lighting conditions, the sensor can become
confused resulting in poor color images.
b. If this is seen on a consistent basis, then the sensor may need
servicing. Please contact Primos customer service.
6. Video le wont play
a. If the camera was powered o during a video recording (green
LED on), the le may have been corrupted.
Troubleshooting / FAQ
Do not mix old and new batteries.
Do not mix battery types-use ALL lithium or ALL alkaline.
Rechargeable batteries are not recommended.
20
Photos Do Not Capture Subject of Interest
1. Try to set your camera up in an area where there is not a heat
source in the cameras line of sight.
2. In some cases, setting the camera near water will make the
camera take images with no subject in them. Try aiming the
camera over ground.
3. Try to avoid setting the camera up on small trees that are prone
to being moved by strong winds.
4. Remove any limbs, grass, brush, etc. which are right in front of the
camera lens.
PIR Sensor LED Flashes/Doesnt Flash
1. For the rst three minutes after the camera is switched on, the PIR
Indicator LED on the front of the camera will light for 3 seconds
whenever it senses motion. This is for setup purposes only and
will help the user aim the camera.
2. During use, the PIR Indicator LED will not ash when the camera
takes an image. This is to help keep the camera hidden from
game.
Time/Date Imprint is Not Accurate
1. If you let any signicant amount of time elapse between setting
and saving the current time on the SD card using your computer
(following the Timetool directions on pg. 11) and inserting it back
into the camera, the time will be o by that amount. If you dont
put the card back into the camera until two days after you saved
the text le on it with the time & date, the camera will “think
the current date is still the same as it was two days ago, and the
imprint on your photos will be o by that much.
