  • My new favorite trail cam is my favorite for many reasons! Although I can't say it is the BEST trail cam because I haven't used every make and model from every brand...I can say I rely on this trail cam for my passion, career and love of all things whitetails. I can also highly recommend this trail cam to YOU...

    This is my second year with Tacticam. They guard my camp year round. They really give me peace of mind if I am gone for a couple of weeks. But by far the best thing about these cameras is that I enjoy my property every day of the year! 100%!! Not a day goes by that I don't get multiple pictures of wildlife, crop growth, changing of the seasons, leaf cover, snowfall and real time weather conditions. Hands down this is the #1 thing that has improved my enjoyment of our property. It is the next best thing to being there! A tip of my hat to the folks at Tacticam- well done!!!

    Black gate is the best deal out there. No BS! Good pic quality. Totally silent. No click since it has 2 sensors for day and night pics. The cheapest data plan out there period. The thumbnail sent to the app is bigger than any other so I've never needed HD pics. Great video. No pic limit. Just data rates. 15 per month for more pics than I'll ever use for 3 cams.
    I've used tactacams and they missed pics and didn't send all the pics it did take. Cheapish price for the camera but expensive data. The data plans are what get you. Great pic quality. Definitely some of the best pics I've had. But, I had trespassers in a sxs drive right in front of the cam and no pic. Then more trespassers on horseback on cam but never sent. Pics of tracks in the snow and no animals. Used the recommended cards and setup according to the red line. Just didn't work consistently for me.

    Congrats on the new working relationship with Tactacam Jeff they are a great company! We have been using them for quite a few years. They work great. I really like them for when we are out west on spot, and stalks. Filmed one of our whitetail hunts this year entirely with a tactacams well a couple of them just to see what it would look like came out pretty good. I like the 5.0 wide the best It actually has some good audio also. Anyway Congrats again!

    @219jello Рік тому

    Been using Reveals for over 2 years. Great cam for the money and great price for data packages. Only issue I have is the 1st gen and X can be seen at night so I set them higher. But you will lose trigger distance and the IR light will reflect off the ground more making it not reach as far. Love my SK, never gotten put batteries in it, but the video is very erratic during the day, blurry/grainy. I'm ready to try the X PRO. The new lipo battery packs are awesome too. Paired with solar, you can't go wrong.

His situation over the last couple years is one reason I probably didn't catch your evolution. As much as I use your tactics for hunting It's nice to touch on the human side of things. Hunting will be one of the main things to help me get through all this as it is perhaps the thing that affects my life the most just ad it does yours.

    Jeff the one thing I would like to see Tactacam improve on is the delay between the photo and the video. There is about a 2 second delay by the time the video starts. When you request the video, many times the deer has already passed the camera by the time the video starts. The video shows an empty frame when you receive the video.

    Tell me how the cell plan works? One plan/charge per camera? Also how are batteries - do they have solar chargers?
    I am making a major upgrade this year from the $30 WGI's I've been running for years. Looking at 10-12 cameras. I'm currently leaning towards cuddelink due to only one cell plan for all these cameras and also the battery/solar packs they have.

    • @whitetailhabitatsolutions9751
      @whitetailhabitatsolutions9751  Рік тому +1

      Hi John! We place our cameras on mock scrapes mostly, so we go thru batteries every 4 to 6 months on a set of 12 double AA lithium...some of our cams last about 9 months. They also have solar and lithium batter packs and I know folks that have had them running for 2 Winters straight now. The cost is roughly $10 per camera.
      I get to see and get feedback with every model of camera thru my career. I consider the Cuddilink system a necessary evil...meaning if you can't afford a quality conventional system or you do not have cell service. They have poor quality pictures, very bad night time photos and miss a lot of photos....per client feedback. I have clients that can't stand them but they are their only option due to no cell service on their land.
      If you get the Cuddilink system make sure you buy solar panels or external battery packs or they die very quickly.

      Hi Kurt the trail cams can definitely bother deer...in particular a mature buck! 1 pic and GONE 😉
      That's why we almost always hang them 6 to 7' high, on a tree wider than the camera and with cover from the side to hide the profile. That seems to work whether red glow or blackout. I love the new Reveal blackouts tho! Also their color and black cutouts for lenses also blend very well. Sometimes the camo on trail cams fade and they are even easier to spot.

    Jeff, I’ve followed you for 4 or more years. All of your recommendations have been solid. Except the Exodus Renders. I bought 3 with solar panels, lock boxes and locks. Haven’t been real happy with them as all 3 have been in and out of the woods and factory repairing problems. 5 year warranty covers everything but what good is it when cameras are not in the woods. 2 years left on warranty and then they’ll probably be junk. Way to much money wasted. LUCKILY I’ve found REVEAL GEN 2 to get me thru hunting season. I wondered why you went silent on them

      Hi Roger! I've had too much experience with the Reveals now to turn my head away from them any longer. I like the Exodus cameras but for the price and reliability I wasn't getting any better than the Reveals. I get to see the really bad tho...and man there are a large lump of bottom feeding cameras that rarely make it thru the hunting season. Very blessed to use the Exodus trail cams for so long and even more blessed to partner with Reveal for the reasons I listed and more 👍 I bet you will like those long term too, Roger!

The Reveals are very hard to beat and I suspect a few trail cam companies will be out of business because of them, unfortunately! We love them. Been able to see the use of 15 to 20 of them for 2 seasons...and some of those trail cams are over 4 years old. For what we do for a living they have exceeded all expectations...and only getting better 😊 I've honestly never even heard of the Black Gates

    I’m a customer. Probably the best cams out there for the price point, reliability, tech, etc. I honestly can’t stand Tactacams. They aren’t in the top 3 of POV cams. I can’t stand the Tactacam army that pushes pushes pushes. But…. I do appreciate the Reveals. I still run 12 Gen1s in a couple states, and they work very well. Both AT&T and Verizon work very well. I hate cell cams that run SIM Hero cards. At the end of the day, it appears it’s a business decision, with the benefit of a proven self contained platform in the Reveal line. But please don’t push the POV cams. Your production will be of lesser quality

    I have friends with the tactacam and they do take good pics however when you say price point we need to look at what the monthly plan is not just the price of the camera and this is where most fall short. Yes you pay 150$ for the camera but you pay 10$ per months per camera. Not very good when you have 20 cameras. I use Cuddeback cuddelink and the camera is 200$ but I can have 20 cameras on one plan of 9$ a month

    • @whitetailhabitatsolutions9751
      @whitetailhabitatsolutions9751  Рік тому

      The bad thing with the Cuddilink...and I get to compare them all...is bad pic quality, very bad battery life and missed pics. Kind of a necessary evil trail cam.
      Just depends on the level of quality that you need or demand. If I had a no cell serv area the cuddlink would be about the only choice (currently)...or if I couldn't afford the monthly plan. But other than that I have to have better quality cams...

They are in the top 2 or 3 trail cams for night time pics, employ over 100 customer service reps to keep their cameras running, and have proven HIGHLY reliable over and over again.
