C (modular) &E modelUser Manual
The new Cuddeback cameras are the bestcameras we have ever offered. The compactdesign does not sacrifice performance or imagequality. In fact, C & E cameras are the highestperforming Cuddeback cameras ever and featurea ¼ second trigger speed, 20MP images, andZone Control.Cuddeback Instruction Manual forC & E Model CamerasThank you for purchasing Cuddeback. You must readthis manual to completely learn camera operation.Please updateWe never stop improving our products. Firmwareupdates allow your camera to be improved withenhanced performance and new features. Refer toAppendix A: Firmware for instructions on keepingyour camera up to date with firmware updates.Like UsLet us know how you like our cameras and feel freeto suggest improvements. In this connected worldyour reviews do make a difference. Please supportus online by writing a positive review on any of theretail or forum websites. We thank you for yoursupport.Battery NoticeRemove batteries when the camera is not going tobe used for an extended period of time. Failure tofollow these guidelines may results in battery leakage which will damage your camera.1
Never mix old and new batteries. Never mix different types of batteries. Never mix lithium and alkaline batteries. Replace all batteries at the same time. Always remove batteries when the camera isnot going to be used for a period of time. Dispose of batteries properly as recommendedby the manufacturer.SD Card NoticeThis Cuddeback camera is compatible with SD cardssizes 2GB to 64GB. Do not use SDXC cards. MicroSD cards will function with the proper adapter(usually included with the micro SD card).storage. Note – videos and time lapse images cannotbe stored to internal memory. Images stored ininternal memory must be copied to an SD card forretrieval.This feature is handy if you check a camera withouta spare SD card. You can remove the SD card and takeit home, yet still leave the camera a-field. When youreturn, all you need to do is install the SD card andtransfer images from internal memory to the SD card.Treat your SD cards well. They are very sophisticatedelectronic devices made with billions of static sensitivetransistors. Keep them dry and do not bend them.– Never insert a wet or damp SD card into yourcamera or computer –Internal MemoryYou can use this camera without an SD card. Upto 120MB of internal memory is available for image23
Design TheoryCuddeback C & E model cameras have been designedto be as compact as possible, without compromisingthe performance, features, reliability, and imagequality Cuddeback is known for.141. User Interface is weather resistance and coveredwith a sealing door. This resilient rubber/plasticdoor is more robust than a conventional hingedoor.2. The SD card fits into a socket in the bottom ofthe camera. This prevents water from entering thecamera when you check your camera in the rain.653The SD card socket is not spring loaded. Wehave found pull-out style sockets to be morereliable.3. The battery door and SD card door are securedwith brass thumb screws instead of breakable latches.4. The Fresnel lens is user replaceable.245. The Genius m ount is inexpensive andreplaceable. If abused by a person or animal,the bracket will break before the camera.5
6. DC INPUT – Only use Cuddeback CuddePowerbattery pack or cables. Maximum input voltageis 9 volts DC. DO NOT ATTACH CAMERATO A 12 VOLT BATTERY!E ModelLong Range IR (shown)C and E ModelsCuddeback C & E models are very similar, but withthese notable differences.C Model with Black Flash module in camera andinterchangeable Long Range IR and White Flash(color) modules along side.See Appendix C: C Camera for instruction on replacing flash modules. C models feature exchangeable flash modules.By removing the flash bezel the user can replacethe flash module as desired. This allows the userto convert the camera to strobe (white flash),IR, Black Flash , or white LEDs (for night colorvideos) by changing modules. The C model flash modules are also morepowerful than the built-in illuminators in theE models. Therefore, the C models will haveslightly longer flash illumination range.67
Install batteriesInstall batteries by removing the 2 battery doorthumb screws and removing the battery door. Insert8 AA batteries as shown. Make sure to observe thecorrect polarity. BATTERIES CAN EXPLODE,LEAK ACID, OR IGNITE IF INSERTEDINCORRECTLY. After batteries are inserted correctly, reinstall the battery door and fully tighten the 2thumb screws.– – –8IMPORTANTBe sure toinsert batterieswith correctpolarity!We recommend Rayovac, Duracell, or Energizerbrand batteries only. (Choose batteries carefully there is a difference, especially in cold temperatures).Lithium batteries provide better performance in cold(below freezing) temperatures. Refer to Appendix B:Battery Life for more information on maximizingbattery life.Install SD CardInsert the SD card into the camera label side down.Do not force the card. If it does not go in easily,check to make sure you are inserting it correctly.You will break the card socket if you force the card.Insert SD cardwith label facingdown or towardsthe back of thecamera– (SD/bottom paneldoor open)9
Zone ControlThis camera is equipped with Cuddeback’s patentpending Zone Control. The motion sensor can be setto detect animals in a wide angle or a narrow view.Wide view will capture more animals but is moresusceptible to triggering by non-target animals(such as birds) which can lead to blank images.Narrow view is very accurate and generates imageswith the animals centered in the image. Slide theZone Control shutter to the appropriate positionby placing your thumb as shown in the diagram(be careful not to damage the Fresnel lens).Slide up for narrow viewSlide down for wide view1011

Detection RangeThe motion sensor detects the temperature differencebetween the air and the animal. The range at whichan animal will be detected varies with animal size,movement speed, air temperature and the heat ofthe animal.detected because of the wing movementand speed.1. Detection range will be reduced in hot(over 80 F) temperatures.Using the camera in cold conditions2. Animals walking directly towards the cameramay not be detected until they are very close(10 feet) to the camera.3.Animals with thick hair (deer in winter) willbe harder to detect than animals with a thinsummer coat. This can result in reduceddetection range in winter.4. The larger the animal the further away it canbe detected. For example, a deer may be detectedbeyond 50 feet, but a fox may only be detectedto 25 feet.5. A moving animal is detected better thanstationary animals. A small flying bird can be306. Stationary animals may not be detected.An animal standing in front of the cameramay not be detected until it moves.Be aware of these things if you use your camerain extreme cold (below 0 C or 32 F).1. Battery life may be reduced by as muchas 50% or more.2.Night illumination range may be reducedbecause cold batteries typically cannotdeliver the same amount of power to theLEDs as warm batteries.3. Flash cameras are not as affected by coldas much LED based cameras are.4.Lithium batteries operate much better incold conditions and will allow the nightillumination to be about as good as duringwarm conditions.31
5. We recommend you use a longer delay,around 30 seconds or more, to give the batteriesa rest period.5. Image aspect ratio selection (wide or full)4 x 3 (FULL)16 x 9 (WIDE)6.We recommend you do not use videos orlimit video length to 10 seconds. If you wantto record videos we recommend you uselithium batteries in cold conditions.This concludes the Quick Start Guide and theexplanation of EZ Mode.See Appendixes for other important topics.

By removing the flash bezel the user can replace the flash module as desired. This allows the user to convert the camera to strobe (white flash), IR, Black Flash , or white LEDs (for night color videos) by changing modules. The C model flash modules are also more powerful than the built-in illuminators in the E models.
