Tactacam REVEAL 12+

I’ve had trail cams since they first came out with actual film, probably from over 5 different makers. Been waiting to make move to cell for a few years and wanted to wait until someone came out with a reliable easy to use product at a good price. I believe the Tactacam fits the bill. I read dozens of reviews/articles and talked to a few current users before buying the GenX 2.0. One factor in their favor was a family member had a setup issue when she connected a 3rd camera to her plan. She called and actually spoke to an English speaking person who walked her through a solution. From opening the box to taking a test pic took about 30 minutes. Instructions are simple and easy to follow and I’m average with technology. If you use a smart phone it’s simple. The pics are great during day and night. My only concern is the rigid antenna. We have a lot of curious bears in Wisconsin and my cameras are frequently getting knocked around or even ripped off trees. My worry is they will break off antenna and will that ruin camera or will it break off where it screws into camera. Depending on a lot of factors the batteries won’t last as long non cell, but they have solar panel solutions. Make sure you use the correct SD card (doesn’t come with). When my cameras die I will be replacing them with Tactacam cell cameras.

I downloaded this app after buying my first Tactacam Reveal camera as instructed to receive real time pictures from my camera . It was very easy to link the camera to the app and get signed up . Very straight forward and easy to use . Just about every setting available on the camera is able to be controlled from the comfort of home from tour phone with this app ! You can change the amount of pictures , quality of pictures ( on sd card ) and working times of the camera among a plethora of other settings ! You can even suspend your cell cam service and make it work as a regular trail camera after season so you don’t have to go retrieve it if you choose not to . The developer has been very involved in taking feedback from customers and implementing improvements to the app as well as software updates to the camera itself . Overall I would rank it among the tops with other cell cam apps . There are some very good updates in the works I am being told in the future ! Highly recommend the Reveal cameras paired with this Reveal app .. once again Tactacam knocks it outside of the park for the average and serious hunters !

I purchased the Tactacam Reveal X camera after my Snyper Cam quit broadcasting via 3G. I was very happy with that set up, and was hoping for something as good with this camera and app combo.
My first big issue is with the quality of the pictures sent to my iPhone and computer. The photos are quite small and you must zoom in to try to see the subject in the picture. Unfortunately, the quality is quite often too low to tell what you are looking at (I have the camera set to the highest quality setting). There’s a cost associated with downloading HD photos through the app, and even those leave a bit to be desired.
The second issue I have is the app error message stating that “this camera has no photos” and “this account has no cameras”. This happens on both my iPhone and computer. Even as this message is showing, I still get notifications that I have a new photo. Sometimes it corrects it self quickly; other times it takes quite a while to finally be able to view my photos.
I love being able to use the app to change settings from anywhere with my iPhone and have them take affect immediately. Unfortunately the issues that I have are likely related to this app and in order to use the camera for remote viewing, I have to use this app. If this persists, I will not be buying additional Tactacam cameras and will change camera manufacturers for next hunting season. The camera seems to be top-notch, but is mostly useless to me because of the app😣
