THEMAKKER13: I have seven of the 2009 Bushnell Trophy Trail cameras. Mine have the built in picture viewer, and for the additional price it is useless due to the small size. One may wonder why then, did I purchase seven of this series. The first couple, I was well satisfied with pictures and videos, this is why I stayed with the same series. Bushnell is one of the few companies that offer a two year warrantee from the manufacture. In the battery compartment, each section of four (top and bottom section) are each wired in series, then the two sections are wired in parallal. This retains 6 volt and not 12 volt. If installing only 4 batteries, put these in the bottom section or if changing batteries, make sure the new or fully charged batteries go in the bottom section. For some odd reason the cameras tend to drawn power off the lower section. If the batteries in any camera drop down in voltage, the camera will not function properly. Ex: when set for say 30 second video, the video length may be random. For the amount of cameras I am using, I use rechargeable batteries. As for the battery indicator on some cameras, this is a guide and not very accurate. I use a digital meter to check my batteries. As a rule, when batteries drop to around the 1.0 volt, your camera will not work properly or not at all. As for the 2009 model, I would highly recommend the Bushnell camera.
