I have had cuddelink system for several years now. Started with J cams on AA batteries on down to now having several L cams in the fleet. All with solar panels running to a home cell cam.
I have to agree, they don't catch what other cams do. I have a brand new L cam on a feeder in KS. Deer were barely hitting it and it had me confused.
I hung a brand new tactacam 3.0 there and got 25 more pics on that cam just in one night. Both cams were pointing at the feeder and both on 1 minute intervals.
Maybe it is settings related but I tend to think they just don't pic up as much. People have mentioned this for years and I kinda figured, how bad can it be. This test made me a believer.
**Side note, Cuddeback is living in the stone age compared to these new tactacams. The cuddelink system is really the only thing they have going for them. The tactacams you can set them up, turn on wifi and get a live feed to your phone to stand in front of it and get it pointing correctly, etc. The pics are damn near HD quality with the thumbnails, and then you can request HD photo per pic and it's only .10 and it's amazing clarity. The video mode is awesome.
The App is super easy to use and you can sort pictures with galleries, etc.
One drawback is $12 per cam for unlimited is pricey. If they could get this down to $5-7 per cam or some type of bulk data plan like wise eye has, they would take over the market IMO.
