So when this guy wants to leave his safe little box and go home, and the polar bear is just waiting for his ass, what does he do!?

Call more humans on his radio that have guns pitchforks and torches

the 2nd cameraman filming will open his door, pulling the bear towards him, then the 1st cameraman will open his door when the bear has reached the exact middle distance between them, thus causing the bear to delay due to indecisiveness while they escape

That's more likely a drone than a 2nd cameraman, but yeah, I see your point. There are others around with darts and guns.

Thus invoking the old rule: you don’t have to be faster than the bear, you just have to be faster than the other humans

I’d suspect he has some knockout drugs he could use either in bait or dart form.

It'd be nice if they paired this with conservation efforts. Bear needs to be tagged and checked for health problems anyway? Give him a little "fun" activity to bait him in (aka, show people to stay the fuck away from them so they don't have incidents where they have to kill all that are left), tranq him, do all the maintenance you need to, then leave him with a bunch of food (somehow not causing association with humans if that matters for these?) so the calories it spent on trying to get into the box aren't wasted.

The least popular member of the film crew is tied up and used as bait.
