Covert or Cuddeback

[Dozer]

Trying to decide between the covert Lora system and cuddelink. Anyone have much experience with either system?

Cuddlelink has been great for me. I’ve had no issues. Have been reliable all year.. a few quirks in the initial setup process, but once you get all that ironed out, they’ll be good to you.

With that being said, I know nothing about the covert system, so my opinion is relative.

I've been using the cuddelink system for about 3 yrs I think. I've had almost zero issues. Only thing I've found is it's nice to use d battery packs on the older aa versions or solar panels with rechargeable batteries. I run about 9 cameras to a home unit and check it from there. Cams usually run from mid sept to mid Jan. I also tried one cuddelink cell this year (used as a single unit, not linked) and I'm at day 131 with working batteries. No issue with the cell cam but it is in a remote location where it may only take 5-50 pics a week. Overall I've been very happy with cuddelink. Only downside is setup is cumbersome and slow at first because they don't have the easiest menus to navigate. I've heard that's better now but I haven't downloaded any of the new software updates. They run well now so I'm risking it.

I also have no experience with the covert system. I got a few years out of some of coverts early trailcam though

Thanks for the responses. I have heard mixed reviews on the cuddelink but can really find nothing on covert. The only real negative I have heard about cuddelink is battery life but sounds like they have come up with better options now.
