for the 100th time

Tactacam Reveal X 2.0 is a good option. I have 4 of them and you can switch between AT&T and Verizon directly on the camera. That way if one carrier has better signal then the other, you're covered. Cams run $120 each when not on sale. Subscription runs $5-20 depending on the plan you choose & $5 per additional camera you add as well. I'm getting upwards of 1500 pictures a month with 4 cameras right now. 2 of them are on feeders and 2 on side trails headed into cover.

does it matter your cell provider, i got t mobil.

New lease. I'm tied into 3 diff cell cam carriers among my buddies.

For me I think I like the stealth cam app the best but several of his cams have either not worked out of the box or took a shit in the field. When they work, I like em.

Spypoint on a feeder. Pics are grainy but has been flawless. My least favorite app, but solid action..

Tactacam SK running on a different feeder. Has been flawless with very good pics. App is good. Set up was a little more involved but not crazy bad.

In my opinion, with the price of gas, the solar chargers and lithium batteries will pay for themselves quickly. The Tactacam sk had a few bad raps but I think some of it was numbnutted errors like not switching the charge over to Lithium batt in the cam profile and then complaining that it didn't charge.

Basically, I think you should look for 24 mega pixel resolution or higher and spend the money on a charger and rechargeable batts, or go with a all inclusive cam that comes built with all that stuff.

To recap, if it's my money, I'm buying the Tactacam sk. Resolution is good, has been flawless, decent app. Next would be stealth cam because I like the app better, but at least 3 dead cams out of 6 with zero field time make it unfavorable. Last on my list is Spypoint. App kinda pain in the ass to run thru pics and delete, but it's definitely something I can work with if I had to

One last thing, don't be a jew and buy the incorrect SD cards. That seems to be a common screw up for some reason. I hear they're all the same but that does not seem to be the case. Don't spend $100 for a cam and then cheap out to save $2 for a cheapy SD card.

That's my .02. Call me if you more details.

I have one Tactacam reveal x pro and I use their rechargeable battery pack. I’m happy with the camera’s performance although it did get moisture in it after the year warranty. With a screwdriver and some patience I was able to take it all the way apart and clean/dry it out. Put it back together and used some silicone grease to seal up the camera area better. It’s been fine for the last nine months. I’ve probably only charged the battery once during that period of time.

I've run 30 different cams from both Moultrie and Tactacam. Every Tactacam I own ended up as garbage. I'll never buy another one. Some of the Moultries were good and some not. The original Deltas were a disaster. The Edges seem to have most of the kinks worked out. They have no SD card, and that eliminates many problems people have - you just can't pull the card and put the pics on your home computer. I have 9 Edges and will get more this season. Battery life is great and the only one that gives me any problem is one that a bear got ahold of.

For all Moultrie cams, make sure you do a hard reset every time you move the cam or change the batteries.

For most cell cams, they don't have as good of trigger speed as non-cell cams, and I believe this is by design to limit strain on the servers and keep people from complaining about paying for false triggers. Some are better than others, and setup can make a big difference.

Amazon Industrial batteries are great, and you can get them for about 25cents apiece if you buy the 300 pack.

I have 3 tasco( $30) and my kid has a tactacam. On a trail, the tactacam should be good for a couple/few months… on a feeder you need the solar charger.
High activity will give you about 2 weeks tops before 12 aa batteries are toast on the tactacam.

3 weeks maybe 4 tops is the longest they will be in the field, gonna use both on a wma i have tons of experience , providing 8 points gets me a permit. if not ill use em somewhere. still gonna put out regular old cameras just wont be checking them till day of or before hunt. going with tactacam reveal x gen 2. see what happens come september. thanks for tips
