Great job on the video. Great info. FYI - I used a SanDisk 128GB ExtremePro SDXC Class 10 V30 U3 card in my TACTACAM Reveal C 3.0 PRO Trail Cam. I enjoy creating videos so that's why I use a large card. The glow will not scare the wildlife. This is a great choice for any location. Have a great Deer Season.
Thanks/helpful , Never owned any , like the computer set up ( am I able to do it all on computer ) Only want to use phone for set up picture in the woods . Can I have the pictures sent to the computer and not the phone ? Afer the 250 pictures does it just stop untill next month ? I'm going to start with pictures only would I be better using the 2.0 vs 3.0 ?
Hi steve, if you are new to cell cams, you definitely want to use the X 3.0. it is much easier to set up and use than the Pro. I believe that you can set up the camera with a computer, but if you will have the app on your phone already, its MUCH simpler to set up with your phone. the app has many more features than the online website. if you use up all of your pictures, it will keep taking pics, but not send them, once the next billing cycle starts, the camera will then start sending pics again. you can buy "overage" protection which will automatically bill you $5 for another 250 (?) pics each month. Good luck this year! Here is a link to buy the Reveal X 3.0 on amazon. amzn.to/3Yu4K4p
when you receive the pics/videos, they are stored in the Tactacam App, not your phone. yes, you can delete them if you like, but IMO, it really isnt necessary. also, if you delete them off the App, they are still on the memory card or the internal memory card of the camera. thanks for watching! - Tight Lines 'n Short Blood Trails
@@carlo_scarpino this is it, they are out of stock right now on Amazon, and pretty sure I saw him post that he will be out of stock for another week or two. amzn.to/3Ybdptr
@@Horn_n_Fin_Outdoors ok, my X-pro will send the video to the gallery but when i click to view it… A green cross hairs like a scope pops up. Will not let me play the video that i request
@@carlo_scarpino that sounds like you may have a weak signal at the camera, or a bad cell signal on your phone. that happens to me occasionally if my phone doesnt get a good signal. takes a while for the video to download to the app
If you can’t plug it into your Mac, you can use an SD card adapter. OR, you can format the card through the app once it’s in the camera and the camera is activated
My camera is not downloading images onto SD card. Used same SD cards (tactacam that came with X3) on X2 to make sure it works..also what is the service port for?
yes it will, however, it will send you a pic, and you have to click on it and request the video to be sent. the video is then sent the next time the camera checks in (that check in timeframe is adjustable in the camera settings)
Damn, that sucks! Sometimes it can take time for the camera to show up on the map. If whoever stole it turned it off, it might not show. Contact Tactacam, they can flag it as stolen

@@Horn_n_Fin_Outdoors do you have to have an SD card in them?
@@rocksolid1829 no, there is an internal memory of 8gb. No SD card necessary.
@@Horn_n_Fin_Outdoors great that’s what I thought you said in video but just making sure
@@rocksolid1829 you got it right. its one of the nice options of the new cameras

@@Horn_n_Fin_Outdoors Ok, Thanks!!
Does this Herd 360 solar panel charge the Tactacam v2 battery pack?
just like the tactacam V2 solar panel does, for the v2 battery pack….
i honestly do not know. however, i can tell you that i run my Herd360 solar panels with an empty battery tray because they last forever
@@Horn_n_Fin_Outdoors Awesome! 😎
@@carlo_scarpino thank you!
@@Horn_n_Fin_Outdoors whats the name of that big solar panel from Herd 360 ?

Question with the New X 3.0 will they send you HD video if you have the xtra plan ?
Yes sir. Unlimited pics and videos
@@Horn_n_Fin_Outdoors
what about if you have the x-pro will that cell camera send you videos if you have the xtra plan ?
@@carlo_scarpino yes, both the Reveal X and the X Pro send HD pics and videos
@@Horn_n_Fin_Outdoors ok, my X-pro will send the video to the gallery but when i click to view it… A green cross hairs like a scope pops up.
Will not let me play the video that i request

how do you format the sd card? i have a mac. thanks
If you can’t plug it into your Mac, you can use an SD card adapter. OR, you can format the card through the app once it’s in the camera and the camera is activated
My camera is not downloading images onto SD card. Used same SD cards (tactacam that came with X3) on X2 to make sure it works..also what is the service port for?
Try a new SD card or format the one you have.
Service port is something they use at the manufacturer
Does it send videos directly to phone app?
yes it will, however, it will send you a pic, and you have to click on it and request the video to be sent. the video is then sent the next time the camera checks in (that check in timeframe is adjustable in the camera settings)
that video is to clear to be tactacam lmbo, how u get it so clear?
Camera video and pic clarity greatly depends on the ambient light and closeness of whatever triggers it.
How does the gps work
Seems to work just fine. The camera uploads its position, and it shows up in the app. Sometimes, it might take 24 hours to upload.
So my reveal 3.0 doesn’t show up on the map… idea why?
It was just stolen…. had it out there for all of 3 days.
Damn, that sucks! Sometimes it can take time for the camera to show up on the map. If whoever stole it turned it off, it might not show. Contact Tactacam, they can flag it as stolen
mine still says pending camera check in
Try turning it off and back on again. Also, check your settings to see how often it is supposed to check in
I must have gotten a dud
Why? Honestly, I find that about 80% of the time, when cameras don’t work, it’s user error
