Cuddeback Excite Problems
I bought a Cuddeback Excite about a month or so ago and have yet to put it out in the woods. The problem I'm having is that the camera just doesn't seem to be writing to the memory card. It turns on, snaps a photo, says "Don't remove card" or whatever while it's saving it, and then goes back to normal live mode. I shut it off, remove the card, and there's nothing on it!
Anyone else having trouble with these things?

RE: Cuddeback Excite Problems
I'm having a simmilar problem with my moultrie. The camera is in a spot where I can see the flash fire from the house but when I check it there is no photos on the SD card. I've tried different SD cards and it dosen't seem to matter. Then after a couple of days there will be some photos on it.

RE: Cuddeback Excite Problems
if you call cuddeback about 300 times you might get through and she can walk you through the steps to make it work. I have 4 Excites, they are crap! I hate em and cuddeback is really hard to deal with! Good luck

on my excite, if you push the button on the far left within one minute of the pic being taken, the pic is not saved to mem. card. this erases pics caught of you checking the cam. not sure if this the prob. but thought id add my exp.

RE: Cuddeback Excite Problems
I have an excite also and the 2005 cudde is much better. With the colder weather here lately I'm getting maybe 200 pics to a set of batteries. If you screw the screw in tight the batteries fall out. Case design is junk. Mine still takes nice pics, but the design is junk. I don't get it. Same price for the cameras and you get a screw this year. Last year a plastic bag with goodies...cable..etc. Cudde is going to lose lots of $$ soon if they don't pull their heads out. I'm tempted to off my excite.

RE: Cuddeback Excite Problems
Sorry to hear that man. I have had mine (2004 model) in 3 times this year. They got it to start writing to the card now but I got 11 pictures of the field this past week. Not sure if the trigger speed is bad or what. I have it on an active scrape that is showing activity and still no pictures of deer. Very hard to understand a $400 camera that fails after 2 years. Best of luck with the customer service.

Justin,
Have you tried to use a different memory card? They have been known to go bad.
