Anyone use these cams. I have a 300 acre of private land. Thinking of starting with 3. And add 2 every year. Do they work well. Cuddeback has always made good cameras before. From what I have read. I have never been a camera guy.
I have 4 spaced out on a 40 acre farm. For the most part I really like them. But it did take some time setting them up correctly. I had cameras that were taking way more pictures then what they were sending. After swapping out 2 sd cards in the cameras with the most pictures, I ended up having both cameras go offline due to memory card issues. Once home camera goes down, you wont get sent any pictures ( my fault). Overall very happy with the product. I believe if you are going that far, you may have to use a camera as a repeater to relay pictures from the back of the property to the front, if so the repeaters do not take pictures, they just relay them. For me it was a way better option than running spypoints and having to spend the monthly money per camera vs 1 payment for up to 16 cameras
Short battery life kind of kills the benefits. I have a set. They collect dust now.
Overall the system works well in my experience.
As others have mentioned battery life is the weak link.
I have the home unit set up with the D battery pack extension and I'm on 106 days and it's still going strong. Sending an average id guess of 15-20 pics once a day.
Currently using lithium AA in the cameras and lucky to get 30 days out of them. Have discovered it makes a big difference on how close they're are to the home unit. Signal range of 99 gets a little over 30 days. 60 gets more like 20-25 days. Probably will add the D battery packs to the cameras as well.
I also have one spartan cell cam and if I had cell service throughout the property I'd forget about the cuddelink system and run all Spartans.

I currently have the cell camera as my home camera due to the fact that its over 2 hours of driving to check cameras and the land owner/ buddy that also hunts there is too lazy to check them. As far as the terrain goes, you should be ok, when you turn on the cameras to set back in the woods, it will let you know what the connection strength is to the home camera. This way you know how far you can go before having to add in repeaters.It’s in the hills with hardwoods. Some very thick and untouched terrain. I try and keep it that way. At first they will be relatively close together. Does any use the dual cell one for home. Will it work with att network. Like allow me to get pics. Also I don’t know what Verizon service is like here. I don’t know anyone in my area to have it. Most folks here use att and c spire.
I set 4 up on Saturday, everything went pretty smooth, I paid close attention to all settings, but am having this same issue. Periodic report is showing more images recorded on the SD cards than what is actually transmitted. How was it that you resolved?
