Using Cuddeback without a Compact Flash card

When Cuddeback is used without a Compact Flash card, images are stored in

Cuddeback's internal image memory. Approximately 20 images can be saved. Image

resolution is reduced when Cuddeback is operated without a Compact Flash card.

Images can be transferred from internal memory to a Compact Flash card. Set the slide

switch to OFF. Insert a CF card, slide the switch to ON. Wait until the date & time are

displayed. The internal images have now been copied to the CF card.

File System - FAT (FAT16) and FAT32

Personal Computers (PCs) and digital cameras will either use a FAT (also referred to as

FAT16) or a FAT32 file system on the Compact Flash card. Cuddeback is compatible

with both file systems.

1) You should not have to worry about the file system unless you have problems

with a digital camera reading the card. If this happens, format your Compact

Flash card in the digital camera first and then install the card into your

Cuddeback.

2) The default file system for the Cuddeback is FAT32. Cuddeback will format 64 MB

cards and higher as FAT32. Most new digital cameras will use the FAT32 file system.

3) Some digital cameras use the FAT or FAT16 file system. If you want to read

Cuddeback images with these cameras, you should format the CF card in the digital

camera and not with the Cuddeback camera.

4) You can also format your CF cards with your PC. You can use either FAT or FAT32

formats. We recommend you use FAT32 unless you need to view your images on a

device that does not support FAT32.

IMAGE, VIDEO, & EVENT FILE FORMAT

The Cuddeback Compact Flash folder structure is as follows:

\DCIM\100CUDDY Directory where images are saved

\event.txt Event file is saved in the root folder

Images are named in the format CDY_0001.JPG. The number will increment with

each image.

Videos are named in the format CDY_0001.AVI. The number of the AVI file will

match the number of the JPG file it coincides with.

DETECTION ZONE & SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

Cuddeback can detect an animal up to 100 feet. However, this detection range is

dependent upon ambient air temperatures. The cooler the temperatures the farther

Cuddeback can sense an animal. In very hot weather (above 80° F), the sensor may

only sense up to 20 feet. You can change the

sensitivity

of Cuddeback's

motion/heat sensor using the method described on page 44.

However, you can also adjust the sensitivity by moving a small black removable

jumper located below the LCD display. When this jumper is in the lower position,

standard sensitivity

is selected. When this jumper is in the upper position,

high

sensitivity

is selected. We recommend leaving the jumper in the upper position.

In hot weather (above 80° F) you may always want to use the jumper in the upper

position to increase the detection distances. You may need to use a small tweezers

to access the jumper. If you lose the jumper, your Cuddeback will still function prop-

erly with the sensitivity set to standard. If you are getting false detections, lower the

sensitivity using the jumper or software menu.
