I got two of these last week. First of all, I can’t connect to the wifi on either. I have allowed local wifi connections on my phone and played with the airplane mode. My phone will connect to Reveal, just no internet. Now one is showing no cellular signal in the same area where it had signal earlier today. I even brought it back inside of the house where I initially set it up and still have no signal. So now it’s just a regular trail cam.
I thought the same thing. Try this. Pair camera with phone’s WiFi. The blue dot will stop blinking. Then go to the camera app and click on the little person icon which takes you to account. Then click on Connect to Reveal X. Even though my IPhone WiFi said “no internet connection” it still worked.
I own 3 Reveal X and have absolutely NO Complaints ! I Own or have owned many other Brands and their probably going to the fire Barrel,,,, there's no hesitation , no poor signal, no quirks , No problems . Very simple to set up and the App is very easy to navigate ! The Best Part ??? Their 203 miles away & work great !
What do you have your image size set to? 8mp, 12mp or 16mp?. I have mine set to 8mp and the daytime pics are very grainy. Using a Sandisk extreme pro 32g SD card. Night time pics come thru pretty good.
Do you know…Does the check in photo show a real photo or just a blank? I bought this today on your recommendation. Can you help me with some thoughts on how you would setup if I’m just checking in on my house construction, progress. I don’t want it taking photo after photo while they are working as I would imagine it would kill the batteries pretty quick. What would be perfect is if we could just get one shot a day of the house , that is all we really need. I know the motion will activate it when they are there but how can I control the number of shots and also get a shot each day if nobody is there….would the check in photo work as a one a day photo with no trigger being necessary? Any help is appreciated.
The check in photo is a computer time based picture sent twice a day at the same times each day. It is an actual picture from the camera not just a blank. It helps verify the camera is in good working order.
Almost all the stock was bought out by a few people that are creating a shortage so they can gouge people who want want by asking crazy prices for them on Ebay.
So can you only set the camera up with a paid plan? There is an option to click for going out to use sd card but when you chose that it doesn’t let you do anything. I’m not putting the camera out for a couple weeks but wanted to play with the settings.
Good job Ben. How much is the cost per month? Or does it go by how many photos? Sorry I am new to this. Didn’t order one yet. I have the app already on my screen . I thought it’s free???
Not happy with mine at all. If I hit the notification icon I see lots of messages saying the camera took a picture. But when I go to the camera icon to look at the pictures they are not there or out of the 30 or 40 notifications I might have a few pics that I can view. My phone shows that the camera has either good or moderate connection all the time but it doesn't seem to be sending me much if any of the pictures. Will have to drive about 80 miles to get the camera down and see if I can get it figured out. neither my sons camera or mine has snapped a night photo despite all the correct settings. He went and got his camera down and is sending back to tacatcam. I will probably end up doing the same next week if it doesn't straighten out. Edit / update.... Camera has straightend out some as far as pics sent but still is not consistent with my other camera I have on the same spot but not as inconsistent as it was. Still not near as good as my Browning but about as good as my Moultrie and Bushnell.
One of the issues I had on the Gen 1, it was taking a lot more photos that I was getting on my phone (yes, single shot). From what I have read and what I have been told by Reveal, my card is the issue... so I have bought even higher class SD cards than the 16g SDHC 10 cards I was using in my browning... and I have just bought SD cards from Reveal so that they can't say that is the issue in the future.. Basically what they have told me is that the SD card speed will impact photos that are sent... if the card is slow, all of the photos will not be sent. Makes no sense to me.
@@chrissinor3145 Your right. The time it takes to write to the card with any decent class 10 card should not impact the function. If do all you would have to do is set your camera to send the pics on a different setting than instant such as daily.
I have been looking at purchasing the reveal x but have a question. Is there a way that you could tell the camera to take a picture from the app itself? Just a scenario, I am walking to my stand location that my camera is set up at, but I want to see if there is anything there in front of the camera so that i can keep from spooking anything walking in. Is this possible?
Also I was looking them up on Google and there they go all the way up to $300 so how do you know which ones which the one that I saw for $140 was the reveal ex cellular I found on sale for 100 at sheels
Just bought 2 x Reveal X.... Having hell trying to navigate thru all of the connections, screens, etc... wasted way too much time trying to do simple stuff.
Ugh, do what? There aren't any screens. Connections? Like setting up the camera? Took me like 2 minutes. I think the simple stuff may not be your forte. 😁
If you set an account up with multiple cameras on one phone is there anyway my brother could use my account as well on his phone to view all of our cameras ?
Oh my did your company go out of business?? No one answers either the contact telephone number, direct emails or the Zendesk website 'leave message'. I have been trying for over 5 days and 3 hours on a silent hold in a call que. Now the contact phone number doesn't ring through or does the AI answer.So much for my renewed 1 year plan that was just paid for. Did I mention the app no longer works and gives error messages! WOW just unbelievable ....
No noise at all. Just set mine up, sat in front of it at the kitchen table while setting it up and it took probably 8 photos and I never heard anything.
The hype is the price point, and the $99/yr unlimited plan, and the quality of the pics coming through. It really is the best camera out there. I've used them all.
I ran 6-7 of the first generation last season and absolutely love them. They have been great cameras for the price and the data plans. Have already purchased 5 Reveal X for upcoming season.
@@stewartlamb7483 Ive been running 3 of the x cams a few weeks now. The photo quality is terrible - at least those sent to the app on my phone. I havent pulled the cards to compare, but a good photo to my phone is what is important. Any idea what I am doing different than you?
Lots of complaints from here in southeast sask. #1 the setup in this video and in the manual is not the same as what you actually need to do You need to create an account on a Computer first and pay for Your subscription. I have my camera set up 1.2 km from a lte tower and it gets weak reception. My phone is full bars The wifi viewing doesnt work and the picture sending is shoddy and Random. Itndoesnt send a pic when something passes the camera. Every 4-34 hours it sends me a few. Not what i was expecting. At least its cheap enough that if it needs to go in the garbage its not 4 or 500$
Red (infrared) led flash briefly flashes. Noticeable to a human if they happen to be in range of camera and looking at it when it fires. Does not spook animals at all.
Any idea why my reveal x is taking black and white photos during the day?

Damn! That WiFi module that allows real-time positioning with your phone screen... is badass!
What is the difference between the Reveal X and the Reveal XB?
What about adding additional users without giving out original log in information.

Do these cams actually even exist? Can’t find anywhere even online. Same thing with the reveal last year.

I have it to send daily... At 9 pm.
Sorry to hear. I ran 7 last season and all sent a picture to my phone day or night within 25 seconds of taking it.
Man, when are these gonna be back in stock,,,, cannot find them anywhere
Three at Bass Pro tonight
My husbands camera stopped sending at 250 pictures we paid for the yearly package. And his month should have reset on January 27?

Link to the solar panel? I can't seem to find it.
I am still having issues getting my Tactacam 5.0 to work with my android phone will I have the same problem with the Revel X?
I have an android and it works perfectly fine. Excellent game cam, very happy with it. Reccomended.
What does the wrench icon mean that just showed up on my reveal x when I click the camera icon ?
Can camera send video the my phone? I have it set to send video but not seeing them. Only a photo.
Look good. Any new tactacams coming out anytime?
Got 2. They are awesome. Can’t wait to get a couple of the sk models too.
SK Model....What's that?
What's up with the availability? I'd gladly pay $180-$200 for a new one if I could actually find one somewhere.

I think if he has the app and logs in under the same account as you this will allow you both to see the pictures.

Hi can these be used in New Zealand?
You may need to contact your government.... jk, I'm sure he can.
Is the new model X quieter then the original Reveal when taking a picture?
No noise at all. Just set mine up, sat in front of it at the kitchen table while setting it up and it took probably 8 photos and I never heard anything.
For all the hype I'm not impressed. I thought they were going to run on diesel fuel.

not true
You can phone order and have scheels ship some to you. It was limit 4 max per person at my store. I got 3.
Yeah, must have had to be sitting waiting to get any.

Can anyone tell me how much of a flash or how noticeable the camera is when it takes a picture at night?
Red (infrared) led flash briefly flashes. Noticeable to a human if they happen to be in range of camera and looking at it when it fires. Does not spook animals at all.
@@ellobo1326 thank you for the reply.
can you use a good brand rechargeable battery in these? i hope so to cut cost on batteries.
Rechargeable's have a lower voltage which might affect performance.
Cannot find any of these or reveals anywhere in stock so what's it matter
I just ordered 2
