Default Cuddyback game camera problems

I just went out today to check my cameras and my cuddyback Capture IR was totally dead and had only two pictures. Its in a spot where I get pics all the time. From the date on the pics it looks like it died two days after I set it up. Has anyone had this problem with the cuddybacks? IM ****ED!

Did you try a fresh set of batteries. I put mine out in early April and thought I had fresh batteries in it; I think it worked a few days then seemed to go dead. Put new batteries in and worked for 2 1/5 months over my bear bait with no problems.

I had problems with the same camera over my bear bait this year. I had it on the 5 minute delay setting and wasn't getting any pics. Switched it to 15 min delay and it worked fine. Havn't really looked into it yet but need to soon before deer season

Zonker, just wondering if you have done any software updates to your camera. I did the updates to mine and it solved all issues.
Something Cuddeback also suggests is to use Rayovac batteries.
