Enhance your hunting excursions with this game scouting camera from Cuddeback. Like other Cuddeback cameras, the Capture IR is designed with what the company calls Centered Subject Technology, which yields more centered photos and fewer noses, fewer tails, and fewer blank images. This is a result of fast trigger speed combined with other proprietary technologies.

The camera produces 5-megapixel color images by day and 1.3-megapixel infrared images by night, so that there is no flash to spook the deer. The daytime flash range is 40 feet. The Capture IR's trigger speed is more than twice as fast as those of previous Cuddeback models. The camera features a compact design and weatherproof housing for extra durability. Images include date and time stamps.

Specifications:

• Centered subject technology
• Trigger speed: Hair trigger (less than 1/3 second)
• Battery life: Extra-long
• Time of operation: 24 hour
• Delays: 30 seconds/30 minutes
• Media: SD
• Operation: Rotary switch
• 3-D Reality Camo housing
• Tree attachment: Strap

The pics are great, the trigger speed is great, It's just a great game camera.

2.0 out of 5 stars Capture over IR, August 3, 2010

This review is from: Cuddeback Capture IR Game Scouting Camera (Sports)

If you people want a good cuddeback camera. Do not get this model.
Get the Cudde Capture. The IR does not take good images like you see on the cudde website. The Capture does. I do not know why you should pay more for a camera that doesn't take equal to or better images of game. Trust me on this i own both and do not like the IR. Also to add the distance you have to be from this camera to even get it to trigger at night is less then 10 feet away. If you read the specs on the Cudde site is says "flash distance 40 ft" That is not the trigger distance. If something was closer to the camera to trigger it, then the IR flash would let you see up to 40 ft. However, that doesn't hold true as well. If the animal is more then 15 feet away you cannot tell what it is. This camera is not worth the money. Save yourself some money and get the capture. Those images are crisp and clear just like the site shows. Day or night you get nice color images even around 15 feet away. i do not know about the models after the IR, but the IR is a disappointment camera for that price.

Notice he said "fairly good photos". They look like crap compared to the ones on the cudde back site saying they was taken with that model camera. Also, the Trophy Room software is very buggy and crashes allot. It is cumbersome to use as well. I am a programmer in 4 languages and very familiar with a pc. This software was written in dot net framework. And will need an install of the specific framework 3.5 to even get it to run the first time.

This camera will not take great photos 30 feet away. More like 8 feet. anything after this day or night is is blurry. The IR flash range is 40 feet. Not the trigger range. You have to be within 10 feet or less of the camera to even get it to take a photo.

The IR capture works as advertised. There is no flash...nighttime photos are black and white but that's OK. I have the Cuddy Capture and it takes great nighttime pics but eats the batteries alot faster.
