Thank you so much for this vid. It has helped a lot, I certainly hope. 😊I recently bought two of the pro’s, but my aim is not deer it is coyote. In this last year I’ve grown to hate coyote, won’t go into details, but they are in my sights and with two Tactacam XPro trail cams and one big coyote trap they are dead already they just don’t know it yet…lol.

The X Pro's I have have a bug in the Programming of the cameras. I have the all hooked up to their solarpanels and have their lithium cartridge in all of them. Every day they revert back either to show alkaline batteries or AA lithium batteries from the selected cartridge lithium I have entered. Been going back and forth with their support to no avail. I like my Tactacam XB and Gen 2 cameras better. Also the solar panel does not charge the lithium cartridge or lithium batteries. The panal will power your camera until it's batteries run low then the camera will switch over to the internal lithium cartridge or batteries to run the camera. I also made the mistake o thinking the solar panel actually charged the battery in the camera.

@Horn_n_Fin_Outdoors

the solar panel will only charge its own battery, but if you do some research on solar panels, they have to be exposed to DIRECT sunlight ALL DAY. they cant be under tree canopy. tough to make them work properly in the woods

@dheller777

9 ай бұрын

@Horn_n_Fin_Outdoors I have built my own solar panel setup for my house so I am very familiar with the technology. The lithium cartridge could easily be charged by a properly placed true solar panel. All depends on the amount of solar getting to the panel. To bad so many people have the misconception that that is what happens with the Tactacam setup when it does not charge the camera battery at all.

if you don't mind me asking what is the about cost of the plans. is it based on the amount of pictures it sends monthly or is it a flat rate. I am thinking about 1 cam for now. Thanks

@Horn_n_Fin_Outdoors

Hi Ron! The plans range from $6-$12 depending on the amount of pics you want. The good thing is, if you have multiple cams, they share the pics. Also, if you are expecting low activity, you can choose the cheaper plan, and upgrade as necessary. If you set up over a feeder, expect a LOT of pics….. deer, coons, squirrels, birds. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching! Hope you subscribed too!

When you set the camera for pictures is the green light always have to be on or not on. I set it up the green light came on but few minutes later went off. I went back and reset password over and over. Not sure what is the right way to set up for to taking pictures when people walk by.

@Horn_n_Fin_Outdoors

All lights will be off. If you want to test the camera, turn it off, go into your app and set it for immediate transmission and no delay, turn the camera on, and when the lights go off, start moving in front of it. It will start sending pics. Then once you are sure it is working properly you can go into your app and adjust the settings as you want.

I purchased the solar battery from the link along with the adapters. The adapter doesn't stay in the camera. It falls out due to the weight of the cord. Is it possible they changed the style of adapter?

@Horn_n_Fin_Outdoors

4 ай бұрын

Some adapters need a small portion of the hard black rubber cut away to make it fit better. Use a knife and cut small “donuts” off the insulator until it fits better. Another tip: get some Dielectric Grease from your local auto parts store and put it on the connector and adapter, and also any battery contacts in your cameras. It will help to reduce the chance of corrosion if moisture gets into the camera.

you can not. all cameras have to be on the same plan.... HOWEVER, keep in mind that ALL your cameras share the TOTAL number of pics each month. so, it might be possible to downgrade from the unlimited and have both cameras share.
