Cuddeback cameras are designed to capture images of wild game.
Cuddeback game cameras have been manufactured since 1984 when Mark Cuddeback designed a camera to take pictures of game and improve his hunting. Cuddeback game cameras are designed to be secured to an upright object and left until game passes in front of the camera, setting off the automated mechanism and taking a picture of the subject. Common problems with the camera can be resolved by a simple method of troubleshooting.
Instructions
1. Check the level of your batteries. The Cuddeback cameras are very demanding on batteries due to their "always on" functionality. Use the factory-recommended alkaline batteries for optimal performance. Low battery level will result in poor functionality or no functionality at all.
2. Reposition the camera if necessary. If the camera is facing large open areas such as fields, the moving animals may not be in reach of the camera sensors or flash unit. If foliage is blocking the camera, this may result in obstructed views and therefore obstructed image, or the camera sensors may fail to detect the game.
3. Use a memory card that has enough room to store your images. If the card is full, the camera will cease to take more photos. If the camera is positioned in an area that has a lot of game, the camera will take a lot of photos, potentially filling the card very quickly.
4. Deactivate the "write protect" switch on your memory card. The "write protect switch" will protect any content on the card and not allow you to take any more photos or videos.
5. Position the camera at waist height to maximize the likelihood of detecting game. Take into account any slope on the terrain that will affect the relative height of the camera to the ground.
6. Consult the manual for your model of Cuddeback camera to ensure the outside operating temperatures are within the manufacturer's specifications. Temperatures outside the specifications will result in faster battery drain, reduced sensor sensitivity and subsequently, less successful game photos.
