RE: I broke down order a CuddeBack
I bought my Capture IR about 3 weeks ago. I had 3 Stealth Cams over the last 3 years, but was not having much luck with them.
I forked over some extra cash for my Cudde, and I plan on buying at least 1 or 2 more of the flash kind for next season. The IR does work great though. I was used to having nearly 75% of blanks with my Stealth Cams, and out of about 50 images with 2 set ups I only have 1 blank with my Cuddeback.
The drawbacks I don't like are they only provide a cheap strap for setup, and no convenient way to lock with a normal padlock. I have been doing it, but it is a pain trying to get one locked onto it with a normal sized padlock and cable. Also, you are only able to take one picture at a time...the closest you can get is 30 seconds as a time. Another, I was not able to view the SD Cards on my camera, but I just began switching the cards out. No video really wasn't to big of a deal for me.
Overall----a much better camera than my 3 Stealth Cams, and I can't wait to buy a few more before next year. I'm also going to plan on buying their card reader too.
