Anyone use the Cuddelink set ups where you link the cameras together and only have one "Base" camera?

Good to see you back posting, Fordman.
I don't use Cuddeback cams any more, but am always interested in hearing about the various experiences users are having with all makes & brands.

I have a buddy that uses them and likes them a lot. He had one go down. This technology is incredible and was hoping other manufacturers would implement it this year, but they haven't - not sure if there is a patent on it or what?
No cellular fees - just take the card out of the base camera and you have all the pics for all cameras. Talking to each other like walkie-talkies on one channel. Everything about it is what I want, except I wish it was someone else other than Cuddeback. I personally don't want to pay to have them sent to my phone....and I have the patience to wait to see the pics. I've been juggling the idea....I think I would just rather have 2 or 3 extra cameras, rather than pay all the cellular fees each year.

I ordered a 5 cam set up and will let you know how well they work. The theory is awesome..... now they just have to work!
I also love the idea of the link system, but Cuddeback gets such bad reviews I'm afraid to invest in the system. Keep us posted!

Wondering about them myself
Covert was supposed to release a similar system. But they aren't available yet to my knowledge. They have them on the website, but says out of stock. Don't know if the hit a glitch or COVID slowed production. But somebody is paying attention to cuddeback. They use them in Kansas where i go. It's great when it works. But if one repeater can goes down, it kills the system. Good luck.

Yea Covert was where I was leaning a while back. Similar system. The reps I talked to numerous times this spring said they would be out in June. Seems Covid did affect productionJBell":971i5w32 said:
I was looking at this this morning.
It says it uses cell tech: Does that mean you have to have another cell phone/plan/service to use these?
When it says it sends all the remote pics to the base camera, how do you access it? Internet, cable, cell, what?
The weakness as I see it: Having to change out the batteries in all the remote cameras.
