I’ve gone to just 3 game cameras - a cheapie that the wife bought, a Browning, and a Tactacam Reveal SK. The cheapie takes poor pictures during the day and worthless shots at night. The Browning takes great day pics and Ok night pics. The Tactacam takes great day pics and decent night pics. What I like about the Browning and Tactacam is they they have plug connections for remote batteries or solar chargers. With adequate battery power, the Tactacam will run fine, but I had to go with a supplemental battery because the issue one faded fast. And the Tactacam sends pics to my iPad. I like that. It comes with ATT and Verizon SIM cards.

The battery life in the Tactacam Reveal cameras has been great. They utilize either AT&T or Verizon and you pick whichever one is best for where you place the camera. Here's an example of a Tactacam photo delivered to my phone - ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/10/full-66255-316737-stare_down.jpg) Hudbone, I just installed a Reveal XK. It performs great, but it is swamping me with pictures! 260 last night!! I can't figure out how to lengthen the time between shots. Every 5 minutes will work just fine for me. Can you give me some help? If it's a lengthy process, go ahead and PM me so we don't bore the rest of the Forum members with this issue! Thanks!

Or something got mad at it.

The Stealth cams are very sensitive to camera positioning / angle, so try changing things up. Try using a t post mount with wide range of angle adjustments like this Amazon T Post mount. I'm running four of them, and they work pretty well, once you learn to accommodate their **many** quirks. I can't exactly recommend them due to their many minor issues, but I've got mine working more-or-less correctly.

It seems to be a nice design, but I think they're out of business.

I'm having the same problem with my Stealth cam fusion. I would never buy another Stealth cam product, they have terrible customer service. I should say no customer service, I emailed them 2 months ago about a issue and no response and they put you on hold forever when you call. I finally talked to someone after 3 months and they sent me a new camera.

I’ve got 2 but we’ve got 11 on the lease, they’ve been great feeders. I did have corn build up in one of the motor boxes but some tape and a new motor fixed that issue.
