What the Black800 5K Offers Out of the Box
The BRAUN Scouting Cam Black800 5K is a compact trail camera designed for day-and-night surveillance of hunting grounds. Its 8MP CMOS sensor captures video up to 5K resolution and photos up to 48 MP, with a 90° angle of coverage and a trigger time of 0.6 seconds. The camera weighs just 292 g, making it easy to mount on trees or posts without heavy support gear.
Mounting the Camera
Choose a location within 20 m of the area you want to monitor — that is the camera’s trigger distance. Mount the camera securely on a tree or post using the built-in strap or bracket. The 90° angle of coverage means you can aim it down a trail or across a clearing; avoid aiming directly at the sun to prevent false triggers.
- Secure the camera: Use the supplied mounting strap (not included in the supplied evidence, but standard for trail cameras). Ensure the camera is level and tight to avoid wind-induced movement.
- Aim the lens: Point the camera so the target area fits within the 90° field of view. The trigger time of 0.6 seconds is fast enough to capture moving game, but positioning still matters: place it 3–5 m from the expected path.
Powering the Camera
The Black800 5K requires batteries (type not specified in the supplied information, so use high-quality lithium or alkaline AA cells as a safe bet). The camera’s low weight (292 g) suggests it does not draw excessive power, but always check the battery compartment for correct polarity.
- Insert batteries: Open the side door and install the required batteries. The supplied evidence does not list battery type or quantity, so refer to the camera’s internal markings or manual.
- Check the display: The 2.0" color display shows live view and menu options. Use it to verify power and adjust settings before leaving the camera in the field.
Setting Up Storage and Recording
The camera stores images and videos on a microSD card (up to 512 GB). Insert a card before first use. The camera supports time-lapse recordings and slow-motion video, but specific recording modes are not detailed in the supplied information.
- Insert the microSD card: Push the card into the slot until it clicks. Format the card in the camera’s menu to ensure compatibility.
- Select recording mode: Use the on-screen menu to choose between photo, video, or time-lapse. The camera also has an integrated microphone and loudspeaker for audio recording and playback.
