The Cuddeback line of trail cameras is manufactured by Non-Typical Incorporated out of Park Falls, WI. Sub second trigger speed is the most well known attribute of these units.Trigger speeds are advertised as .75 seconds but end up closer to 1 second in most individual testing. New for 2011 is the all new Centered Shot Technology. This reaction time from the moment the PIR is triggered until the shutter is activated is very good.

This allows the units to be used as an actual "trail" camera instead of a bait station camera. If the photo can not be taken quickly enough then the hunter ends up with a memory card full of pictures of trees. Cuddeback has also introduced Battery Wise Technology which will allow hunters to place cameras in remote locations for up to 6 months without needing to change the batteries. Battery life is of course directly dependent on the capacity of the Compact Flash memory.
The 6 months of battery life is meaningless if the owner of the unit has only equipped it with a 64meg card. Cuddeback was also one of the first companies to develop and engineer a camera specifically for use as a trail camera. This advance came when most digital trail camera companies were developing cameras based on current point-and-shoot models. By building there units from the ground up, Cuddeback has been able to add all the features that sportsman are looking for. The engineering team have also made many attempts at securing the trail cameras. Cuddeback Security Theftstop Plus™ system is actually making it a little tougher for theives to steal and then use the units. The system consist of a screw that anchors the unit to the tree and is only accessible after unlocking a padlock and opening the case. The padlock shackle is protected by the case so it is much harder to cut the padlock. If the thief can get past these defenses then they must enter a password to operate the camera.
