I think you missed it on this video. Couple of things, we all know how to read a manual and set up a game cam. I don’t need you explaining that to me.
Second, wash your car. The dirt all over your car was very distracting and made me ask what kind of slob makes a video with such a dirty car when the hood is a prop used in the video.
Third, don’t put the mail key in your mouth. That’s disgusting and if I lived in your neighborhood I would be grossed out big time. If I wanted to kiss you I would, but I don’t need your slobber all over the package mail key (I have a feeling that number 10 key might actually be your mailbox, not sure, and if it is, the video shows you opening the lock with one key and pulling out two package keys, so I am not sure and just going to stick with it isn’t your key)
Fourth, I would really love to see the pics at night with that camera so close to the feeder on high flash setting. I suspect you will get a lot of white out. If there are any animals that come to the water trough, they will def be washed out by the high flash setting.
Fifth, would have really liked to see some actual pictures during the night time from the camera. Day pics are hard to mess up. It’s at night when a camera shines.
Sixth, what is that rack around your Jeep for? I see them from time to time on all the urban off roaders on the dfw streets and I always have wondered what the heck they were for? Inalways thought they looked pretentious and “trying too hard”
Seventh, see number six above, that was basically the whole video summed up in a nutshell. I understand the “need” to give sponsors their time, but seriously this video gives the sponsor nothing of substance. Who cares about setting up a camera. Show the thing in action from day time to night time, to day video to night video, show the cell and how well it works and talk about signal, speed of transmission, battery life and solar capabilities (those batteries will get drained quickly if you have any activity) talk about sensitivity, over sensitivity, under sensitivity (you do that by comparing pictures from similarly placed cameras of different brands and looking at the pics taken) and picture quality with movement. That’s the stuff people want to see from a new camera. Not how to set the thing up.

I get you were excited to try this out and get it up. But dang, just like your shooting videos, you seemed to blow the wad too early on this one and made a “review” video with nothing in the review. Talk about a a waste of time. I really wanted to see what the camera is capable of, instead I got dirty jeeps and keys in the mouth.

Don’t label a video a full breakdown when all it shows is the unboxing (thought that part was terrible btw) and setting it up. Total mischaracterization.

Thanks for the info, I have been looking into getting a couple of those ! What do you mean by super affordable if I may ask ?

Thanks for the good info & camera pictures. I'm not a cell phone fanatic & consider them a necessary evil, but here is my question. Do you have to have AT&T as a carrier to use one of these types of cameras? TIA...

I am interested, but I do have a few questions regarding the data plan. The ad on Amazon says $13/month for unlimited data. Is this something I have to set up on my own, or can I create an account after I purchase the camera? If I have to arrange my own service, is there another version of the camera other than Verizon? I did not see any other Tactacam cameras for ATT or another provider. Is the OP affiliated with or sponsored by Tactacam?

See that’s what I am talking about. A good unboxing/set up video would describe those couple of questions.

Joe, I appreciate you keeping up with it and I really am trying to help you and give you ideas of how to think about videos and what content to put in them. I am not criticizing just to criticize.

Been thinking about getting a cell cam for a couple years now. Believe I'm gonna give this one a shot.

Thanks for the info!

If I have ATT cell (ATT doesn't work @ the lease), & buy a Verizon version (Verizon does work @ the lease), how do I get/look @ the pics?

Well, everywhere I have looked is sold out. I don't even see the ATT version on Amazon. The Verizon on Amazon says its unavailable now.

The camera uses a signal to send to tactacam, and then the app sends to your phone. But the camera type that works best for your service area, it does not have to be the same service your phone uses.

That’s pretty much the way all cell cameras work these days.

That is correct. Tactacam has the plan not you, and you pay Tactacam for the usage of the data. You choose ATT or Verizon which ever is best signal in your area.

jtprocaddie, the pics it sent to your phone look very good for sure and it looks like a nice camera.

What batteries does it take?
What is the apprx battery life?
Has this camera been set up side by side next to 2 or 3 of the other leading cameras on the market to compare how it performs overall to those cameras? Things such as signal strength of sending the images, missed picture opportunities that maybe the other camera it is 'competing' against took and it didn't, or visa versa?
What is the trigger speed of it?
Are you able to adjust this camera's settings through the app on your phone like other the other makes and models?

This is why I wrote what I wrote. Joe has a history of making partly complete videos or bad videos and then passing the hem off as a professional job. He is sponsored by tactacam. If I were tactacam, and saw this video I would be pissed for the above reasons. I would also be pissed that one of the first videos to hit Texas hunters leaves so many unanswered questions in what was supposed to be a full breakdown and set up. You see, joe was so happy tonged his camera he forgot to include basic details. The other humorous thing is joe is so inexperienced he doesn’t even know what to put in his videos. Yet, he passes off himself as a pro. I was offering constructive criticism to his video, which I typically do to all his videos. Ways to make it better. You saw joes reply about having a clean workspace...that’s the typical joe reply...

Basically what I am trying to say is if he had done his job, you wouldn’t have had to ask those 5 very simple but important questions.

If you can find where I have claimed to be a Pro please let me know. I can guarantee I have never claimed to be a pro.

And to my point previously... That IS Clean for the Jeep. Its washed off. A lot of that is mud stains and blood stains that wont come off with normal washing. I get it dirty every time I go out so the outside does not get detailed. Its a hunting Jeep. haha

Anyway I never insulted you, and you come out swinging. Only place my videos get bad wrap and feedback is here with all the keyboard warriors.

Trust me, my sponsors are perfectly ecstatic and happy with what we provide and our quality. Thanks for your concern :-)

I wasn’t swinging either, that was just stating the obvious, and I used your response to critique with the Jeep as an example, if you take that as swinging then I would hate to see you in an actual argument.

I really am trying to help you see the light. Everyone else on here has quit on you. I want to see people succeed, but you have to want to get better. Based on the number of questions over basic game camera details, my guess is you are simply trying to show us your stuff and not actually do a “full breakdown and set up” in your video. It’s all good my man, all good.

Never thought I'd admit it, but I miss JT's videos of 5-6 hogs being shot, some gutshot, some shot in the rear or 3-4 deer being shot, some in the gut, some on the run.Can we get back to those days please. LOL

Do any legitimate hunters endorse this product?

I know very little about game cams and much less about the cellular stuff. I guess the excitement about this one is that its a lot cheaper, or what?? I know the guy on our place uses cuddelink and I think they are about 250 each.
For what its worth, I dont know the history on the guy doing these videos but it sounds like some of his other stuff is iffy.

It takes 12 AA Batteries as it is stated in the video
Battery life is Aprox 2,000 pictures, which is standard with most cell cameras - However, they do not state what the battery life is with Lithium batteries and I have not reached that point as of yet.
I have not put them side by side to other cameras as of yet. So I cannot answer that question
As stated in the video you can adjust all setting inside the app as well.

Thanks for the questions.

never gut shot a deer lol but nice try

I put one up this past Sunday. Unfortunately, that same night, my cows decided I didn't have it placed properly. Now I get pics of the ground. As soon as I can get it adjusted again, I will give a review.

lmao

Yup, I got some mommas at the house that cannot leave anything alone.....unless it has 5k volts barricading it off!
Good God they are nosy as hell for sure

My response to this is then you have either not been hunting long or have not shot many deer. Or, more likely, both.

I've heard statements like this before and also "I've never missed a deer" and that makes it very, very obvious to me the person is either FOS or not very experienced.

I have missed a deer, But have not gut shot one yet. I have gut shot hogs and other predators, but have been fortunate to not gut shot a deer as of yet.

That is good that it has not happened to you.....yet. But, I will assure you that if you kill enough of them it will happen at some point no matter how good you are with your bow or rifle and no matter how carefully you choose your shots. When it happens I promise you it is something you will not soon forget.

If it happens while you are filming just make us a promise not to try and cover it up like the majority of these 'experts' do on their hunting shows. It is things like this that made me completely stop watching these shows several years ago. Of course the other one was watching them choose to shoot great young bucks for the sake of making a show!

One thing I do is show my mistakes. Its part of hunting and learning. Just like when I first started I had no idea how to properly age a deer, and looked pretty foolish calling young deer a good mature buck.. trying to know something I did not. Made a lot of mistakes 4 years ago. but even the harsh feedback helps and I learn from it.

Some on here will never be satisfied and have some of the worst trolls on the internet, but hell if I can take it from them I am good anywhere lol

I see you have grown up some, admitting your age mistakes....grow up some more....instead of defending and selling your inadequate attempts LISTEN to the feedback and act upon it.......you will have more respect and success admitting I am learning as I go, value wisdom from others and am just trying to make a living at something I love.....when talking about products tell the truth...... I am gonna see how this works, it might be a waste of your money I will give you my honest opinion....

I don't think y'all have figured it out. He doesn't want your help and isn't listening to it, LOL. This has literally gone on for YEARS!

Its a Jeep, its going to get dirty... And its going to get dirty every time I take it out, not a daily driver, so I rinse the mud off of it but the mud stains stay as I don't scrub it down. The video was a full breakdown and set up.. Which means break it down the settings and how to set it up.. Sorry if you didn't get that from the title, and I mislead. Will post night pictures later as I have some now. This was not meant to be a full review video but a breakdown and set up video..

I can’t speak for the camera, but you really should do a little research on the pimp pushing it. He’ll sell ANY product that will endorse him. The camera might be decent, but the fact they are associated with that guy is a huge red flag for me.

We count on it. Salesmen are relentless.

Don't worry I will keep on posting :-)

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

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 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.

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.

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