CuddeLink Wireless Network Setup

The CuddeLink system allows cameras to form a wireless network. Each camera can function as a 'Home' unit or a 'Remote' unit. A 'Home' unit collects images from 'Remote' units. For cellular transmission, a CuddeLink Cell unit (sold separately) can be linked to the 'Home' unit to send images to your phone.

• Network Capacity: The CuddeLink system supports a network of up to 24 cameras.
• Col·locació remota: Remote cameras can be placed in areas without cellular service, as they will relay images through the network to a Home unit or CuddeLink Cell unit that has service.
