TACTACAMReveal XB Cellular Trail Camera, 720p, No Glow, Verizon & AT&T - Motion Only

I've had cell cameras that cost $600-$700 each and these are defiantly worth the $100.$10 a month for unlimited photos.Choose AT&T or Verison sim card.SUPER easy set-up. (you have to be smarter than a house plant to set this up correctly)Using AT&T I've had great cell service in S.E Wisconsin, central Wisconsin and even at my place in Mercer (far northern WI)Photo/video quality is fair ($100 camera).MUST USE Energizer Lithium AA batteries (SAMS Club is the cheapest place) <-- these batteries will last 6-7 months sending 50-100 pics a day in my case. NOTE: when Lithium batteries show less than 80% life left (after 6-7 months), they typically die within days after that. That is how Lithium batteries work, its NOT a camera issue like some fools think.I have my cameras set-up to send me daily pics twice a day, at 9am and 9pm instead of " instantly ".People who have issues with these simple cameras are the same people that have issues with a pencil sharpener.

Works great, adjustable motion sensitivity settings so that you don’t get pictures every time the wind blows, $5 - $13 a month for cellular connection is reasonable.

After reading reviews about this Trail-Cam, and the company that sells and supports it, I decided to purchase the XB model and its matching solar panel. Upon receiving, I loaded up the camera with the required 12 ea. AA batteries. They recommend lithium-ion, but I used alkaline for the test. I immediately was impressed by its performance and features. The camera runs off of the solar panel 24-7 as the panel has its own built-in rechargeable battery. The camera only relies on its internal battery pack, the AA batteries, during inclement weather when the solar panel is unable to fully recharge itself.I then purchased the OEM Rechargeable Lipo-Lithium Battery Pack, which replaces the cameras internal AA batteries. This has proved to be a good choice as I don’t have to spend a fortune on replacing batteries, and recharging the Lipo-Pack only takes a couple of hours or so. So far, I have only had to charge the Lipo-Pack two times this past year. I should mention that the solar panel only charges its own internal battery while powering the camera. It does not recharge the cameras internal battery, be it the AA Pack or the Lipo-Lithium Pack.The camera sends its pictures and video to their server via cell service, which I can view on my iPhone and iPad using their app, or on a PC via the internet, therefore providing real-time surveillance. I like the fact that I don’t have to go to the camera to pull a memory card, and I can see camera health as well as view/change settings remotely. I eventually purchased a second camera, along with the Lipo-Lithium Battery Pack and Solar Panel to cover another area of our property. I never realized, until now, the variation and amount of animal traffic we get at night.After over a year of owning these cameras, I can say this… The cameras and accessories are of a quality build. They have withstood rain, sleet, snow, and 20 to 100+ degree temps. Both cameras continue to take great pictures and video both day and night. The ability to control, adjust, and view them remotely is a strong selling point to me. The cell feature works so long as the chosen location can get ATT or Verizon cell service. Data plans, monthly and/or yearly, are required if the device is cell capable and one wants to activate the feature. Cameras can be used stand-alone if desired.To sum it up, I am very satisfied with the cameras and accessories. I would defiantly recommend these products to my friends and family.

This is my 13th Reveal. The quality and features of the cameras is great. But what really sets this company apart is their customer support and their commitment to delight their customers!

Second camera works good and is taking good pictures from the woods. First cam would not accept SD card , TACTACAM card. Didn’t care for having to pay shipping to send it to tech support nor paying for a subscription that I was unable to use while being checked. Tech sent 1st one back and said it was ok. It still would not work. Before my 30 day Amazon return expired I returned for a new identical cam. Phone support was great. Guess 1st cam was a dud but 2nd is doing fine and would recommend

Lots of batteries but hopefully they'll last for most of this deer hunting and scouting season.

These cameras take excellent picks, and are very reliable

Be sure to use the correct SD card.
