Hudbone, those are fat! Question on the Reveal, can you put more than one Reveal camera on the same app plan for just the one cost (i.e. $13 month unlimited, or do you have to add each camera separate on app and have separate charges). Do you pay Tactacam or added to you Verizon/ATT bill. I ask since you apparently have more than one and say you are going to add more and I'm just now checking the Reveal out.

Multiple cameras, same plan - I do not think so. The monthly receipt comes from Reveal.

thanks, so if I interpret right. you can have multiple cameras on the app plan but each camera will cost you plan charge (i.e. 2 cameras at $13 each for unlimited plan).
monthly receipt from Reveal would be good for me so I don't have to explain why celluar bill increased by "x" dollars times multiple units

Ok, I put up 2 Reveal's on Saturday. So far, i'm impressed and don't have a lot invested. App could have some better user updates but that will come. Speed of sending photos is good...so much so that I changed my settings from 'timely send' to send every 12 hrs. I'd like feedback on battery life as I know 12 Energizer Lithium in each camera will add up along with the other 8 traditional trailcams using batteries that I have running at different properties.

Just got one delivered today. I’m hoping the battery life is that good. But I will still put a solar panel to it at some point. The thing is, modern stuff has some really good battery management tricks. So the fact that you are still showing 100% might not be such an exaggeration as you think.

Another plus for me is that the antenna is removable which means I could use a cable to get the antenna up higher on a support for better cell signal if need be.

Looking forward to keeping an eye on things from here at the house. And if response time is quick enough, might get to drop a few pigs coming in at odd hours if I happen to be out there.

Sounds like everyone is very happy so far with them and the battery life is really mind boggling for a cellular camera.
Please keep posting updates if you guys don't mind.

I have 25 out. Like them a lot. Very easy setup. Pics come quick. App is pretty easy to use with that many cameras. Regular Sam's alkaline batteries still showing 100%. Have had one on timely and to take pics every 3 and half minutes out for 2 weeks. Only complaint is I sent customer support an email last week still haven't heard back. Got att ones as they were only one's available at the time. No problem with service between george west and three rivers so far. Have a friend with some in Mexico that are working like they should. He's used many brands down there. These are my first cell cameras. So for him to like them says lot fir me. I ordered from cabelas $99 free shipping.

You pay Tactacam and additional cameras can be added to the same plan at a discount.

I just ordered two more. Won't be hooking them up to the cell service, but the detection range, brightness & overall photo quality is just so much better and I will be replacing two others in the field.

Does anyone in the DFW know where they are in stock right now? Looking to buy one today to set up this weekend. I checked all the usual places, but none appear to have them in stock.

If you do not have cell service you will have to treat it like a regular trail camera and pull the card.

Not true.you can buy an external on Amazon for 18$..it will give you an extra bar or two..my spypoint needs 2 bars to work in the cell transfer..message me for some pointers

can these (or any for that matter) be set up to email pictures OR do they just send pictures in a text message?

My BIL called me last night asking about cell trail cameras and he is not very tech savvy.

Hudbone are you leaving the cell card in the camera when your using it as a normal trail cam or taking it out ?

Well, the dang SIL set it the other two up to deliver to my phone. Now I get downloads at 5 and 5 on one camera and immediately upon being taken at each of the other two.
