Product Overview
The Cuddeback Moonlight IR Model 1408, new for 2017, is designed for optimal night performance in wildlife photography. Instead of focusing solely on megapixels, this camera utilizes a low-light sensor with larger pixels to capture more light. This results in better night images with increased range and reduced motion blur. The Moonlight IR offers IR illumination performance comparable to premium cameras at a significantly lower price point. Given that approximately 75% of deer images are captured at night, this camera is engineered for superior nocturnal imaging.
Responding to the need for simple, effective deer photography, the Cuddeback White cameras, including the Moonlight IR, provide high performance at an accessible price. A 1/2 second trigger speed minimizes blank shots, and 8 MP images ensure good quality. The camera is designed for ease of use, allowing users to spend more time scouting and less time managing equipment.
The 1/2 second trigger speed is fast enough to capture deer that might be missed by slower cameras, and accurate animal detection ensures more successful captures with fewer blanks. The Super-Fast Recovery Speed means the camera is ready for the next picture within 1 second of the first, enabling it to capture multiple photos in quick succession, often two photos before other cameras capture one.
Cuddeback's Super Simple Setup makes deployment straightforward and virtually foolproof, further enhancing the user experience by minimizing time spent on settings. The Cuddeback Moonlight IR delivers high performance and excellent value.
