Not quite but connection distance between them will vary depending on elevation and thickness. I have some that are 700 yards apart across high pastures and others that are 200 yards apart through cedar swamp.

Was the system reliable for you this past hunting season?
@midwestmtnoutdoors2 ай бұрын
It sure was. Only issues I had was when a deer decided to chomp off one of the antennas and squirrel chewing through a solar panel cable. I ran 10 cameras from July - February.

How would you say the L remotes perform versus the G home? I am looking at maybe buying some used G cameras, but I am wondering if the newer L cameras outperform the Gs even though they have similar specs.
@midwestmtnoutdoors2 ай бұрын
The G cameras are still a little step up compared to the L cams - photo quality is about the same but I believe the G has more LEDs, a little better detection and “zone control” that further helps center the object. Can’t go wrong with either, just depends on what you can find on the Used market.

Hello, would the Cuddelink L series work well as a security camera. Have you experimented with max distance to get a readable license plate on a car moving less than 20 MPH?
@midwestmtnoutdoors6 ай бұрын
They do have a surveillance mode with records all activity as fast as possible but you may be limited by distance and clarity. Best image quality for animals are usually 10-20 feet from the camera so a moving car at 20mph would be difficult.

Can the main camera be connected to your home WiFi so you don't have to pay for a cellular plan
@midwestmtnoutdoors7 ай бұрын
I haven’t seen that offered yet. But, you could always use the Cuddeback system as it was originally designed: Forget the cellcam portion - set one camera as “Home” nearby your house, cottage, etc, set all other cameras as remote (like in my video) and go frequently pull the home cam SD card to check activity from all the remote cams; no cell data plan needed

How well stitched are the seams ? Single or double? Also , are the zippers heavy duty ? Thanks for the review.
@midwestmtnoutdoors8 ай бұрын
The stitching where multiple pieces join are largely a “weave-type”, though I’m sure that’s not technically the correct term. Pants have lots of doubles stitching around hem lines; both have single switches where tetraloc meets wool. Zippers are YKK and are water resistant. I wouldn’t consider them heavy-duty but correct for the application; not overkill.
@gfboutdoors13698 ай бұрын
good video Ben, How did you like using them this season? I have the compacts and am considering switching to the doubles.
@midwestmtnoutdoors8 ай бұрын
I borrowed them for the early season so I didn’t use them for full season. Nonetheless, my updated thoughts are: Pros - the weight & packability is awesome, aiders are a must-have, and I definitely prefer doubles over single steps. Cons - these were the 14” so I would get the 20” for a little extra height, they are loud and need silencing, the “bolts” that anchor to the tree can be slippery on some types of bark and don’t grip as much as my Novix sticks.

I’ve had great luck with them. Read the manual, “practice” before heading to the woods and be patient. Yes you can put solar power and/or external battery packs on all J,K,G and the new L cameras. I run a system of ten cameras and they have worked great for me. Let me know if you have other questions.

Depending on where you're hunting, and if it's archery, the season ends in September. Some states only get 2 weeks. Then in my state of PA, it goes on until November, right before rifle for deer.
