Thank you for this video especially about the plan you use and the cost of HD videos & photos, you are the only one I’ve found to share anything on this subject of the charges on HD videos & photos. I just bought 2 of the XPro’s I’m still unclear on the how’s why’s and wherefore’s 😊 on this subject, but it’ll come, I hope, lol. My sights are set on coyote. Thank you again 😊
Thanks for the comment; good luck!
I like you man, you are a thorough dude. Please keep making videos
Thank you for the comment and thanks for watching!!
Mic sounds fine! Good video!
Thanks
Very thorough, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the same rest time for us as well. We are ready for dove and deer season for sure. This year we are looking for a a place to hunt turkey. Cool video Rob!!!!!! Great trial cam pics and vids. Are you leasing and hunt space? LOL God Bless, Mike
I’m hunting dove near George West TX opening weekend. I also love spring turkey hunting and always put in for the TPWD draw hunts. I haven’t been lately, but always looking. I have a video of my daughters first turkey hunt: ua-cam.com/video/wgAR60om14M/v-deo.html
I don’t lease but you are invited and welcome to hunt pigs here anytime! Maybe knock out Canton Trade days and harvest a pig on the same trip! 😂
@@FourDRanch Nice turkey
Good dialog ,Mr four d, thank you
You are welcome and thanks for watching! I'll be doing an update video soon. I am not 100% happy with the lithium battery and solar panel. This camera was the first one to die and its' now at 50% power. I will be converting this one to the 12v feeder batter system before next season!
Great video by the way
Thanks for watching! I have 2-3 really nice bucks hanging around, hope they stay until bow season opener - October 2 here, can't wait!
I got two Reveal X Pro cams recently and love them! Easy to setup and the app works great. Time will tell on battery life. Lithium batteries aren't cheap. Going to setup the solar panel on them eventually.
My Pro is running 2 months on the Tactacam solar panel. I just bought the Herd 360 solar panel and will be doing a video review on that one soon. It’s much larger and should last a year or more!
@@FourDRanch Nice! I just got my the Tactacam solar panel hooked up to one of my Reveal Pro cams this past weekend, and its showing 100% battery now so we will see how long it lasts for and if the sun contact can keep it going or not. I think I am going to give the Herd 360 panel a try on my other Reveal X Pro cam. Thanks for the recommendation.
Just bought one and it’s not taking pics nor videos I get to pics daily 9 AM and 9 PM every day
Thanks great info
Thanks for watching!!
How did your Tactacam do with Texas heat? Good video!!! Thx for sharing your info.
My X Pro's will only detect motion of a human or deer sized animal out to about 60 feet. You right about the cartridges. I wish the solar panels would charge the lithium. cartridges.
Mine pick up squirrels and birds, sometimes. Seems to depend on lighting and temperature. Overall, pretty good cameras still.
This would have been something that I could have used after my spouse passed. I liked the clarity of the pictures it took. Do you plan on removing the feral hogs?
Hello, Thanks for watching and for the reply! yes , I take out as many pigs as I can. They are prolific breeders and it's hard to eliminate them completely.
I like the XB… does about everything the new camera does and is cheaper… probably getting discontinued though.
you are probably right! Every time I buy one they come out with a new camera!
will the GPS still work if someone steals it and removes the batteries and/or the Sim card? hopefully you got the answer I've got alot of theives where I hunt and can't find my answer anywhere before I buy any. thanks for your time great video!
I am not sure about your GPS question, but I will find out the answer from Tactacam and reply to you here when I know. Thanks for watching.
I contacted Tactacam support and they said the GPS will work as long as the camera is on and connected to the server. So if remove the SIM card it will not work.
That's kind of disappointing but I did purchase 2 of them and don't think I will regret it. Thanks for your help
Once the camera turns off, you can’t track it.
Does the camera need to be in an area where cell service is available to send pics/vids to your phone? Some of our hunting areas do not have cell service.
Yes it does; either ATT or Verizon. But in my experience even if I cannot get a cell signal on my phone, these cameras can usually get a bar or 2. I guess because the larger antenna. I also have 1 with an extension antenna up on a 10, pole, it works where I do not have a signal on my phone.
@@FourDRanch thank you for the additional details.
Can I use a sandisk class 10 U3 100mbs instead of the 90mbs?
Yes, I have used that same card with no problems.
@@FourDRanch I. Thank you for getting back k to me so fast. I really appreciate it like you have no idea sir.
Does the pro X still work and take pictures/videos like a none cell camera, if you decided not to pay for a plan after hunting season?
Yes it does, no subscription needed.
Does it have just video mode? Or do you have to ALWAYS REQUEST A VIDEO?
It has video mode and will store the video on the SD card.
I have had mine for a while ,for some reason it will not trigger .I moved it to the same place where I had my old one that got hit by lightning.I use this for security on my driveway.Will replace it with the X,not impressed...
Really? That’s too bad. I hear support is pretty good, maybe they can help. My pro is still working great, but I do like the newest X 2.0 I believe it’s called. Thanks for the comment!
@@FourDRanch My pro went back to working fine now ,put new batteries and deleted the pics.I do have it on a 12volt battery.I had my X got hit by lightning last week,fried the board.Talked to tactacam they said I could send them the broken unit and that I could get a X-pro for a little over $100 bucks.Some promotion they are doing.So got one on the way.
Helllllp i just bought one and it’s not taking pics or videos i get 2 pics a day at 9am and 9pm daily. I am using it for security and i worked in front of the camera all day sat. I received nothing just 2 pics 9 am and 9pm
I believe that setting is called check in. It sends pictures to check in and let you know it’s working. You can turn it off in the settings.
How about rechargeable AA batteries? Better when multiple cameras share a single unlimited plan. Think that is how Cutteyback works.
They would probably work fine. My cameras are pointed at feeders and get a lot of movement. I am moving all to solar panels with rechargeable 12v feeder batteries. And also using a HERD 360 solar panel with built in lithium batteries. It’s awesome, but also $130!
@@FourDRanch My cameras would be for security. Expect to be away from the property for weeks at a time and with no neighbors to watch on things, I would rely on the cameras. Because they are for security, I won't want solar panels and am interested in the no glow cameras. Thanks
@@Step-n-Wolf I see. Then either high quality rechargeable or lithium AA would work fine, and probably last for several months.
Don't think the daytime pictures from my XB are as good as either my Gen2 or my XPro.
Good to know, I do not have an XB, but will probably only buy Pros, when I need a new camera, due to the black flash.
Very cool. Too bad the one I purchased never worked out of the box. I missed deer season. Paid for subscription that never was able to use. Company told me to send camera in for a technician to see what’s wrong. Who wants to do that? How about send me a working camera?
Thanks for watching my videos! I agree, that's not good business.
the background zipper noise was very annoying. edit before u put your stuff out here. Else video was very good.
thanks for the feedback. I can't tell where the zipper sound was heard? is it the entire video? or can you tell me the time in the video you hear it?
about half way thru when you talk about deer shying away from the camera. After replaying the video maybe it was a Texas bug in the bush.??? It stopped near the end of the video.
You need a new mic. Does not sound pleasant
