Which Tactacam Reveal Model is Best FOR YOU?
Спорт
After owning all the models of Tactacam Reveal trail cameras. I compared what I liked and disliked about the Reveal X, Reveal X Gen 2, Reveal SK and Reveal XB. So far all have held up in some severe weather conditions and temperatures. Each particular camera has its drawback and upside. Hopefully this video will help you decide which camera will work best for you!

Yeah great review except in the real world they get wet. They short out they die. Customer service won't give you new camera. Horrible. Do not buy one unless you're a millionaire and like throwing your money away.
Great review Cody, thanks for doing this.

Except you forgot to mention that they'll die within a year. Customer service won't honor the warranty. Joe, you're throwing your money away when you buy these if you actually plan to use them.

@jwdundon well, 3 years later mine are still going, been outside over 900 days. Not saying your experience isn't different. But that's mine. I ain't gonna lie about a product. If it sucks it sucks, I've had decent luck with mine, but customer service does lack, on that we can agree
I would like to get one before the November deer opener for sure. The gen 2 seems alright

I really liked your video. Thanks for posting it. Have you ever had any trouble with water getting inside? I’ve seen some reviews on it. Some people said it was antenna not being tight 🤷🏻♂️

Honestly, mine have been left out for almost a year now with temp ranges from 85 degrees to -35 degrees. No water issues as of yet. I did always double check the antenna tightness

Gen X2 you can also hook up a external power pack up to 14 volts DC

14 volts or 12 volts? Most cameras will take 12 volt external battery packs.
I purchased a tactical Reveal XB trail cam and I am very disappointed. Send it in for repair and they sent it back saying that it was not repairable looking at the camera. I decided I had nothing to lose so I decide if I could see if I can get it open well to my surprise when I did find the screws the screw holes were packed full of crap which tells me nobody open the camera without seeing it in for repair.

I have the GEN One revealed X. How do you get it to take a video? I can’t seem to figure it out and no one seems to have an answer.

On the gen 1 Reveal X, you simply go into the menu after connecting your phone. In the menu there will be pic/video at the top of the menu, select video and it should work

Tactacam makes a panel that's $60. So if you went with the X2 and the panel you would still be under $200, and with better quality pics and daytime video, in my opinion. And you don't have to buy batteries

It does not, but the solar panel has an internal battery. I have 6 of them, they keep the camera powered 24-7 even in our brutal winters
You said it will pick up to 96 feet I can’t get mine to pick up at 20 feet. What do I have set incorrectly? And I get probably 100 photos a day of nothing. They’re just landscape pictures but when I check my feeder, the corn is gone but no pictures of deer at the feeder.
