Performance

The camera comes with good performance results and it can isolate the subject instantly. Powered by an 8 megapixel sensor, the device does a good job at delivering quality photos. It does this even at night-time using its powerful infra-red technology. But the camera is powerful in larger areas also, as it manages to cover 75 feet towards your desired direction.

The video mode is specific to Cuddeback. While it is limited in time, it does produce some of the best results you can find on the market. The manufacturer used its standard video time frame with 10, 20 and 30 seconds intervals to produce some of the best videos which focus on the animal.

The recovery time of the camera starts at 1 seconds. The camera should be ready to take another photo in a maximum interval of 2 seconds. While this is not the fastest recovery time on the market, it is still among the good products for multiple shots. And if you truly want multiple shots you can use the integrated time-lapse function. This function allows you to record multiple images in a given time frame which ranges from 12 seconds to 24 hours.

Design

The design of the camera is strong, as with all Cuddeback products. Its durability recommends it among the best cameras on the market. The system is powered by 8 AA batteries which will work for up to 10.000 pictures. This means you can expect to change the batteries every 6 months, at least in average conditions. The camera is clearly designed to maximize performance in low light conditions. The design of the camera allows you to get the best images with a slight red glow.

The Cuddeback Moonlight IR camera is among the simplest and most effective products on the market. It balances some of the most advanced features we have seen from the manufacturer to deliver on of the best experiences both in terms of ease of use and in terms of results. With a 75 feet range and a 24-LED flash, the camera is oriented towards capturing clear images in low-light situations. If you`re unsure about the camera you should consider it also comes with the video feature which might help you create a better understanding of certain surroundings.
