[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3910714, member: 35036"] I bought one of those reveal Tactacam x pro cameras first trail camera I have ever owned, so I know next to nothing about what I’m talking about. Bought it, the lithium battery pack, and the lockable steel security box. Paid $150 for the camera, another 60-80 for everything else if I remember right. Setup and initial impressions: it seems well built, everything seems to fit together well and is well thought out/put together. The little LeD screen is handy, you can adjust settings and view pictures through the screen, rather than relying on a card reader or your phone. I like how you can lock the door closed, preventing access to controls and the battery access. The app was easy to use, set up, and they have help tabs to help you figure out settings and such. Being able to use Verizon or ATT SIM cards gives you some flexibility in regards to finding cell reception. You can get several different data plans, I got the unlimited package, it seemed like the best deal. You can also add a $9 upgrade to the package, which allows for unlimited on demand hd pictures and videos, and some extra features. You can live without it for sure, but it is nice. In the field: pretty decent pictures, I didn’t find the special high definition pictures were that much better than the regular pictures. Requesting videos that were taken in conjunction with your pictures was nice, but kinda buggy and didn’t always work. Night pictures were pretty good I thought. I had the camera out for about 3 weeks. Had most of the settings maxed out, so max battery drain. Including the multitude of pictures it took in the back yard on the dogs when I was getting it set up, I think it took about 400 pictures, each of those saved a video to the camera and were 2-3 photo bursts. Battery was at 80% when I pulled it yesterday, but it had been at 90% up until the day before. One thing I noticed and disliked, aside from the occasionally buggy app. I think the camera wasn’t taking/sending me all the pictures. I further tested this by walking past it several times, and even standing in front and moving around. Never sent me pictures of that or received them. But then I received pictures of me taking the camera down, so I don’t know. This could explain why I have only seen 2 does and a coyote in the past 7 days.
