Cuddeback trail cameras have always been a top choice for serious hunters. In 2016, Cuddeback released their CuddeLink system which offers a proprietary wireless mesh network that allows cameras to communicate with each other. This revolutionary technology allowed images to be transmitted from remote cameras to a home image collection camera. Easy to deploy on small and larger properties, this technology makes the difficulty of checking several camera locations a thing of the past. CuddeLink users can pull a single SD card from the HOME camera and retrieve images from every camera in the network without disturbing bedding areas and other key hunting locations. With the addition of CuddeLink Cell, these images can be emailed and/or texted directly to the user, saving time and money, providing more timely feedback, and reducing human footprint and intrusion in the woods.
While all cell cameras have the ability to transmit images directly to a user’s phone or computer, only Cuddeback and their patented CuddeLink Technology allows you to link multiple cameras and send images using only one cell signal and one cell plan. Once the user has the CuddeLink Cell connected, they can then place additional cameras in locations with weak or no cell coverage and still retrieve the images remotely. With plans as low as $10 per month, it is hands down the most economical option for hunters running multiple cameras.
