As for me I 'm done with cuddeback. They lasted 2 -2 1/2 years. Not enough for 200 bucks. I went with Moultrie 80 9 months ago and good camera so far, time will tell. I also went with a Rconyx 500. The Moultrie works as well execpt battery life. Most cams are nice, but how long will they last?How long a camera lasts is what makes it a good cam or not.
