Cuddyback should make some jumpers that would allow cameras to connect if they get too far from each other to get a good connection. Cheaper than putting up another camera to make the link work.
You guys have no idea how helpful this video was. I pulled the trigger on 4 cellular Cuddelink cameras and setting them up was a breeze with your videos on them. I did the 2000 image plan with enabled extra images just in case. I'm hoping these will be a big hit this fall.
You boys must have accidentally dropped your gym bag out in the woods and squiggles got into it and ate your protein bars and protein shakes....lol Hold on to your pants that deer is gonna be a booner next year!
Awesome video... Never gets old looking at big bucks.. Have 2 big bucks on public land down here in Texas I’m going after this year..good luck to you guys this year..
I just picked up a pack that came with a cell cam and two other cams. I’m hoping to get them out in the woods today. Your video was definitely persuasive enough to get the cuddelink system.
I watched til the end...do y’all have any updates on y’all opinions of the camera... really thinking hard about getting a system of about 4 or 5 to put in the woods but I’m concerned about the distance I’ll have to put them apart and how if most likely have to have extra cameras just to increase distance I have my cameras from the home base... I’m on a 550 acre lease and for the last 5 years, it’s only been hunted over a few road and a large high line... so the woods (creek bottoms) are virgin and surrounded by young pine.
I know from using other cell cameras that battery life is effected a LOT by the frequency of download. If you set your camera up to send you photos in real time, it takes a ton more power than having it send only once every 8 or 12 hours. Do you have to physically go to your camera to change those settings or can they be done from your computer or phone?
leave it to the Engineer to spoil the idea! haha good video. I dont have any cell cams but i got 5 soaking right now. Cant wait to check them in a month or so
Obsessed with the Outdoors yeah always ruining my ideas! Lol hopefully you have some great ones to chase this fall, and one that’ll allow ya to tag him! Haha
I got the new Dual Cell Wireless Camera, I set it up as a stand alone camera due to wanting to try it out first then buy more to go with it. But I have ran into me not getting photos, so I reset the camera with Cuddeback on the phone. Crossing my fingers that it takes photos. I set up my old trail camera beside it, and was getting photos on the regular trail cam but not on the Cuddeback. Any idea of how long it takes for the home dual cell to catch on the routine? I love how you can setup multiple cameras to one plan that's why I went with it, but I'm getting nervous that I'm not getting photos like the regular camera. Any info would help, appreciate your video.
@@BrunkOutdoors it wasn't sending them to my phone. But around 730 last night I started to receive them. Absolutely love it, I appreciate you responding. Ya'll keep up the great work
@@BrunkOutdoors thank you, you too. Quick question, how long does the backup battery pack last? Trying to decide if I should use the pack or the solar panel.
Anthony Smith that’s a good question, we aren’t sure yet, none of them have died yet and most appear to be over 90% battery according to the tests. Not sure how accurate that is but I believe they will last 4 or 5 months. They are supposed to double the life compared to a regular pack. I would say if you have direct sunlight I would try the solar panels but if not maybe try the packs!
we just bought this system. our home camera is like the one in your video and we are having problems. I am sure it is something in the settings or set up but we can't figure it out. it constantly takes photos. we have used up our 2000 photo plan in just a few days because we can't figure out why it is constantly taking photos. do you have any clue what setting we might need to fiddle with? We have cleared out all the branchs from in front of it so we don't think that is an issue. any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated!
britt schmiesing hmmmm, that is something we haven’t run into. Are you using the basic settings set up or advanced? We always just use the easy set up mode and never have sensitivity issues. Maybe try calling cuddeback, they are always super helpful. Otherwise we should have another whole setup video out soon. It would be out already but we are without power still after the storm that came through the Midwest on Monday.
@@BrunkOutdoors Just to let you know in case you were curious, it turns out that the time lapse was on and that is why we were getting constant photos. Eek. Watch out for that setting folks. now they are all taking excellent photos...when then should be. :)
Great video guys! I am currently acquiring my Cuddelink system to be installed this year and was needing real field installation insight. Have you had any luck with cameras placed more than 400 yards apart?
Which remote camera model do you recommend for a mostly wooded 100 acre tract of land, and how many do you think I would need? Not sure I understand the difference between the remote models in the Cuddeback website. Thanks.
carutherstm they just have some that send to your phone and some that send between cameras. And then you have to decide if you want white or black flash. For a 100 acre wooded parcel, I would guess you need about 6 cameras, but it could be leas
Is there an app you need to download to use the Dual Cell Remote camera? Can you change your settings from your phone or do you need to physically go to the Dual Cell unit to make any changes?
Thank You for posting these videos. I am heading to the store to get a set with the cellular camera. I wasn't sure if it was wort it but now I am convinced. I live 1.5 hours from the property I lease so it should be time and money saving at the end.
Rodie Mace we thought about it but most of our are in the shade under canopy. I know they say they work in ambient light but we weren’t sure so we just decided to try the D cell first. If we don’t see good battery life out of the D cells we will have to try the solars, but so far so good! It’s supposed to double the life of what you get with the standard pack and we got almost 3 months out of those so we might be able to get by with the D cell!
We haven't gotten enough testing to give you an answer as of yet. But It has been out for a month so far and is still working, we will update everyone when the first cameras start to die. Hopefully will last for awhile
Roger Ransom good to hear! We are getting better battery life out of the home cell cam than the remote units even with the D battery packs which is really weird! The home cam batteries are going strong but we have had 3 remotes die sense getting put out.
I had the remote batteries die too fast last year so I bought tenergy rechargable batteries and 9 volt solar panels for 19.99. They all, 8 remotes, have been out since April and have not gone dead. 1 is under a hemlock and gets no direct light.
Wildlife Tactics yeah it’s definitely way overkill.. lol it’s 220 acres and we definitely have way more cameras than needed, but it’s nice to have them all connect and check the farm at one single home cam
what size sd cards do you have in the cams that you can wait till after season to check them? i run a lot of cams and looking at trying this system on my land in southern ohio little to no service down at house but up the hill i do thinking this might work thanks for video.
@@BrunkOutdoors thanks all my cards are 16 but have filled them up before but had cams on triple shot .I run the browning strike force cam works very well for non cellular
@@BrunkOutdoors yes but i have learned my lesson on minerals use 1 shot with longer reset time now doe and fawns are the problem wont leave the area after a few months have thousands of pics wish they were big bucks good luck this season keep up the videos
Branden Dickson how the farm is laid out the furthest camera has been daisy chained about a mile away. Distance doesn’t matter with the system because they send photos through the chain.
advice, put the home base cellular camera on a higher point, helps signal, at least 7ft, i had mine at 7 then moved it to 10 and got 20 more %.
Cuddyback should make some jumpers that would allow cameras to connect if they get too far from each other to get a good connection. Cheaper than putting up another camera to make the link work.
lol, I always take a pair of nippers with me when setting up cameras.
I had all cameras linked batteries died. Put new batteries in all cameras now not getting pictures. What did I do wrong?????
You guys have no idea how helpful this video was. I pulled the trigger on 4 cellular Cuddelink cameras and setting them up was a breeze with your videos on them. I did the 2000 image plan with enabled extra images just in case. I'm hoping these will be a big hit this fall.
Will Crain glad it helped! Hope you have good luck with them! If you have any questions or problems please don’t hesitate to ask us!
You boys must have accidentally dropped your gym bag out in the woods and squiggles got into it and ate your protein bars and protein shakes....lol Hold on to your pants that deer is gonna be a booner next year!
Matthew Kubik hahaha no kidding, screw the beans, let’s give them all tubs of mass gainer lol.
Awesome video...
Never gets old looking at big bucks..
Have 2 big bucks on public land down here in Texas I’m going after this year..good luck to you guys this year..
Lonnie Williams thanks for watching! We hope you are able to run into them! Keep us updated on your season, we like to hear about everyone’s hunts!
Problem I'm having is my home camera isnt sending pics taken by the home camera but it is sending pics sent by remote cameras ? Any idea why?
Austin Spain hmmm, I’m not sure. For a specific issue like that it is probably best to call cuddeback, they are very helpful
I just picked up a pack that came with a cell cam and two other cams. I’m hoping to get them out in the woods today. Your video was definitely persuasive enough to get the cuddelink system.
Not as useful as it should be. Need to stay zoomed in on user interface so the viewer can see it firsthand and follow the narration. DUH!!!!
Jeff Brewbaker don’t like helping people like you anyway
@@BrunkOutdoors Wise saying..."better to remain silent and be thought an idiot than to speak up and remove all doubt"!! WAFI!

@@BrunkOutdoors same to you man!
What keeps the cameras from being stolen?
It’s on private property
I found your updated video and I'm watching it now. Did you use alkaline D batteries or did you get lithium batteries?
Good review. Thanks. I've seen a lot of guys trashing these cameras online, so it's refreshing to get a good objective review.

Anthony Smith that’s too bad, is it not taking photos at all or just not sending them?
@@BrunkOutdoors it wasn't sending them to my phone. But around 730 last night I started to receive them. Absolutely love it, I appreciate you responding. Ya'll keep up the great work

Great video guys! I am currently acquiring my Cuddelink system to be installed this year and was needing real field installation insight. Have you had any luck with cameras placed more than 400 yards apart?
Matt Hull thanks! if it is flat ground you definitely can, maybe 600-800. But if there are hills plan on 200-400.
LOVE Cuddeback Cuddelink! We also use the Solar Panels.

Paul Crave no app required you just set up a new email account that it sends to. From what I know you have to go to the cell unit to make changes

Dave R we honestly can’t recommend them enough! They have been awesome I am sure you will be happy with your purchase!
Nice vid Guys. Was curious are you using the J or G series cams?
Allan Ramsay thanks, they are the j series
Will this system still send to the mother cam without cellular?
Sail Away yes it will
Do those cameras have holes for installing a cable lock?
no cable locks...THESE CAMS ARE JUNK
Love the video good luck this year...👊🏾✌🏽
Outdoors with Samuel you too Sam!
Hahahaha Brunk Lee!!
Name the home, "Camera McCameraface"
Why haven't you tried the solar panel?

Look's like yall have a good year to look forward to !
cyocaller heck yeah! even on a bad year we would look forward to it lol!
How is the battery life on the home cell camera?
We haven't gotten enough testing to give you an answer as of yet. But It has been out for a month so far and is still working, we will update everyone when the first cameras start to die. Hopefully will last for awhile
I bought a cell camera to go with my cudde links. I’ve had it out for almost 2 months and it still says ok on the morning battery reports. Like them!
Roger Ransom good to hear! We are getting better battery life out of the home cell cam than the remote units even with the D battery packs which is really weird! The home cam batteries are going strong but we have had 3 remotes die sense getting put out.

Roger Ransom that’s a great idea for a diy solution thanks we might try that!!
How big is this farm? Lot of cameras!
Wildlife Tactics yeah it’s definitely way overkill.. lol it’s 220 acres and we definitely have way more cameras than needed, but it’s nice to have them all connect and check the farm at one single home cam
Awesome
what size sd cards do you have in the cams that you can wait till after season to check them? i run a lot of cams and looking at trying this system on my land in southern ohio little to no service down at house but up the hill i do thinking this might work thanks for video.
Tony Cirillo we run 16gb sd cards and have no problems. It’s a great set up, hope it works for ya!
@@BrunkOutdoors thanks all my cards are 16 but have filled them up before but had cams on triple shot .I run the browning strike force cam works very well for non cellular

@@BrunkOutdoors yes but i have learned my lesson on minerals use 1 shot with longer reset time now doe and fawns are the problem wont leave the area after a few months have thousands of pics wish they were big bucks good luck this season keep up the videos
how do you lock them to the tree to prevent theft?
loopmtz this is private property, so nobody is allowed on it but us.
@@BrunkOutdoors Thanks I just got four of them and need to figure out how to lock them.
How far is the furthest camera from the home camera??
Branden Dickson probably around around 3/4 of a mile.
Branden Dickson how the farm is laid out the furthest camera has been daisy chained about a mile away. Distance doesn’t matter with the system because they send photos through the chain.
Brunk Outdoors awesome, thank you for the clarification! Good luck this season.
