I had a cudde no flash... I put it over bait and sometimes wouldnt get any pics. I sold that camera 2 years ago and I now have 4 bushnell trophy cams and love them. Great pics, incredible battery life, small size, ect......I wont ever buy a cudde again which sucks because they are made right here in WI where as my bushnells are made in asia

i did a test earlier this year.
i took my cudde attack IR and set it right next to a 50 dollar Hunten IR camera (thats 50 dollars, new) turned them on 30 second delay and came back in 3 days
the cudde took somewhere like 17 pictures and most of the night ones were blurry. the hunten took 40ish, with only two of them being blank IIRC. i couldnt be more unhappy with it. it eats batteries in the cold and the picture quality is equal to or lesser than the absolute cheapest cam i could find

sorry. the cudde. i am very unhappy with it.
i have sent various complaints to cudde with pictures attached and they claim it is camera placement, dirty lens, or moisture buildup on the lens

I have some of those Bushnell units and they work then I bought a Bushnell HD unit and I'm about to send it back for the 2nd time. First time it didn't take photos and now it takes hundreds of a bare field. The bushnell's are finicky as to which brand SD chip they use but Bushnell will not tell you which one to buy.

I bought a Moultrie M100 and had to send it in right away because it was taking 100's of a bare field. its been working good so far.

I have scandiscs and kodak SD cards and they all work fine in my bushnells...

My last cudde was a no flash and iut chewed through batts like no tomorrow. I used to put it over piles of corn and the corn pile would be gone and I wouldnt get any pics.. It was horrible...I had this camera about 5 years ago and it doesnt sound like they got their act together... which sucks that a local company that once owned the industry let their control slip away do to poor products...

does anyone use an LED camera?
i have been seeing them now and then on some outdoor shows and didnt know how well they worked at night, and their effective trigger range

i am just glad i am not the only one who has had issues with no pictures on their cuddebacks
