Tactacam Reveal XB: Unbox, Setup and Review. How to use this Cellular Trail Camera and App. 

Just bought one today I appreciate the heads up. Thank you

Thank you for making this video it was extremely helpful for a first timer with cell cams

Thanks for the info. You answered several of my questions

Great video - we just posted a new video on our favorite trail camera and to no surprise, its the Reveal XB. Great way to show the features!

With a market full of options this definitely helps make my decision,great video!

Great video. Just purchased one thanks to the video.

Awesome video man. Been looking at and reading reviews on every cell cam on the market. After watching your video I’m going with the reveal XB.

Thanks for all the info.

Great video, job well done!

Thank you I learned something

Need one of those !!

Thanks for the video! That’s a ton of posted signs 😂

great video

The app downloaded today is the updated version of what you showed in the video. Similar though, I still had to find the screen you were actually using. This made following along with the video a little troublesome and had to stop, playback and resume a few times until I found the point you were trying to explain.

Why didn't you go over the wifi aiming feature of the camera?

Great video. Watched your comparison video with the spypoint flex. Do you still prefer the xb. And if so why. Thanks

Great Video! Just subscribed. I was wondering how often you have to change your batteries on the XB. I am considering buying the XB and getting a solar panel along with it.

I cannot find the xb anywheres in the last month or so, do you happen to know if it has been discontinued or just out of stock maybe? also best reviews on these cameras👍🏼

I never knew such cool device existed. I just found out today because I need a camera on our new property so I can watch the food & water level 💦 for the wild animals. We rescue as many as we can 🙏❤️ The video is informative. Please STOP KILLING innocent animals! How can you go to sleep at night?

macam mana nak buat?

Good job do you have to have two plans for two cameras or one plan for both thanks

So did I understand correctly that this can also just be used as a regular trailcam like during the offseason or something when up to the minute data isn't needed? Thanks

does this camera have 1/4"-20 screw in mount like the spypoint cameras? also, what is the max video length? thanks in advance

I had a camera from another manufacturer (who shall go unnamed) that shot good pics but had a horribly slow response time. But it did have a great feature in the app - I could pick a time of day, say noon, and the cam would snap a pic every day at noon. I've since replaced that cam with a better one, but I sorely miss the daily pics. Does this camera and app give me that ability?

I notice a green lighted dot above the interface area. Is that visible always? It's the same color as the icons in the interface.

Enjoyed your Tactacam videos and just ordered the XB. I currently use the spypoint primarily because of their 100 free photos per month that allows me to use year round with longer delay times to get more days of photos per month and I have five cameras. I was forced to go with an external pack with the spypoint due to the drain on the AA batteries and use the 12 volt 8 amp hour small UPS type batteries. Before I purchase the solar panel which seems to be the way to go for extended power, can you take a volt meter and tell me the output power from the solar pack on the plug that goes into the camera input jack? I found that the camera jack uses 4.00 mm x 1.7 mm plug that seems to be associated with 5 volt devices. Needless to say I don't want to send 12 volts from my existing external battery pack to the camera IF it is expecting 5 volts and see that magic smoke appear. I have a supply of the 12 volts batteries and really want to use them on the Tactacam XB using the solar input jack until I evaluate the camera in the field and see if it warrants the $65 expense of the solar pack. I am expecting the tip (center) to be positive and have either 5 volts or 12 coming off the solar battery pack. Also will the XB work totally off the solar pack without any batteries at all in the camera. The spypoint does not require the battery pack to be installed in the camera when using the external power jack. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey Duane love your videos. I actually ordered this camera, and I have it set to pic+vid and I’ve long pressed the pic+vid I wanted in my gallery selected HD video and it’s been 3 days and still nothing in my gallery and suggestions ?

And the battery life?

Love my two, have 3 other Tactacam cams but this one has lot of cool features. Been having trouble getting the videos going, finally got my first but cannot play the other 49...any suggestions? Thanks!

I just set up and XB with the 250 photo plan to start. What photos count toward that limit? Is it only if I download them or move them to HD? I get 20 photos at a time and I'm already close to that 250 number in 2 days.

On the setup page, it says Other for Capacity. I know devices don't advertise higher sizes but a lot of times higher size cards work provided they are on the correct format it can read. It will format the SD card anyways but have you had any luck with 64/128 GB sized cards?

Just watching your video I ordered 2 xb,s. Instructions calls for a 32Gb class 10 U3 SD card anything less than U3 class 10 will only slow down your video/ photos being transferred, also if you use lesser quality batteries most cameras that run on 12volt supply will not function properly when your lesser quality batteries run down below 9volts. Lithium ion batteries run at 12volts until they are done I've got several other cameras that confirm that fact. You'll buy once cry once. Lol

Is there a way to reset the camera to factory settings? Thanks.

I just 2 of these cameras last week. Do you know if there is any firmware update for these or should they be ready to go out of the box?

Does this camera able to screw into a mount? There is usually a threaded hole on the bottom but just wanted to check

you used the class 10 U1 card it calls for class 10 U3 card? also u didnt show how to format SD card

Does this camera have Wi-Fi where if cell phone signal is lost it can Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to your phone app? Or do you always have to remove the card and download pictures?

How do I set the trigger speed or is the default set for the fastest speed?

Do you have to request all videos? Or can I preview them like the pictures?

Can you use multiple phones on 1 camera? Say I wanted a buddy of mine to view the pictures on his phone.

I purchased a tactical Reveal XB trail cam and I am very disappointed. Send it in for repair and they sent it back saying that it was not repairable looking at the camera. I decided I had nothing to lose so I decide if I could see if I can get it open well to my surprise when I did find the screws the screw holes were packed full of crap which tells me nobody open the camera without seeing it in for repair.

When walking by this cam at night, does it emit any visible light to humans and does it make it noise?

You mentioned the cost of the batteries. I'd suggest you buy solar battery panels. I've been using them on my Coverts for a couple years, they're well worth the money up front compared to how much batteries will cost you. Especially if you leave the cams out year round.

I have the Tactacam reveal X and I’m trying to get videos but I’ll get a message saying it doesn’t support videos. Do you know if I can’t get videos with this camera or do I need to get one that does.

Can you change the settings on the temp from C to F? Can you get a monthly plan? Thanks for the videos

I need to be able to contact the cell-camera using my cell phone, tell the cell-camera to take a picture real-time, and send the picture back to my cell phone. Do you know of any of these cell-cameras that can do that?

If you chose Verizon and later realize ATT might be better can you switch?

We are setting one up for thieves. Lol. Worked on test but once turned on it does not seem to work. Do you have any tips ?

Can rechargeable batteries be used in the Tactacam Reveal XB and if so, which ones?

Is it wise or needed to format the SD card?

Does this take good pics at night? I'm using it for surveillance purposes

I put out my camera and got everything set up, it took four photos and then stopped and now I’m not connected to my camera anymore, any idea why?

Can you swap the sim card anytime?

Did I understand that you can put in the AT&T card and have it sent to your Verizon account?

I've heard that these cams are awful at capturing deer if set up higher than 4 feet or so in a tree. I hope not because I want to put it up about 7 or 8 feet. I just ordered it yesterday.

Do you have to sign up for a yearly plan or can you pay the $13 each month ? I only use my my cameras 3/4 months a year.

Can a cellular trail cam using 4G connections, still work on a phone with a 5G connection?

I bought the XB Pro based on your reviews and i get a lot of empty pics and the ones i do get are always at the edge of the frame this camera is to slow not to mention the pics are sometimes sent hrs later after the pic was taken

How long does it take for the picture to go to your phone once its taken?

Hey man, I've been looking into getting one of these to keep watch of a house in a remote area by sending videos to me. You've nearly convinced me but I'm left with a couple questions about the app. You say there's multiple levels of subscription but then you have to pay for videos. Does one of the plans just let you send whatever videos you need? Like one of the more expensive plans? If I see a break in I want to be able to tell the cops when it'd happening, not pay 5 bucks and then wait 24 hours. With the app, after you scan the code to pair the camera with your phone, can more than one phone do that? I want me and my partner to both be able to monitor it, not just one of us.

What would be wrong with this camera if night time photos are not showing up

Hi Duane, Just about ready to order the Tactacam xb .. It says camera only..Is this doable. Thanks for having my back

Weird I only put 6 batteries on one side and it works

The app is completely not working for me on my Android Moto G Power. I cannot add a camera, can't create a plan, and my account page just has a spinning circle forever. Anyone else have this problem?

What's the max video length?

Never having used a trail cam ru-vid.comUgkx2sTDdZXomuxedMg_HothfjSXjR3rpPkA before, I was very impressed with the quality of the images and videos. The sensitivity of the camera can be adjusted as well as the length of video recordings. Once I found the sweet spot, I was getting great clips of deer and other animals almost every day. I was worried about battery life but have been running off the same 4 aa batteries for over a month. The SD card is easy to remove and connect to a computer. I have a Mac, and the AVI files open natively in QuickTime and are easy to save and share. This is a great, budget-friendly trail cam.

It seems ridiculous they can't put a Li-ion battery built in these things.

Your video rates a 0. Looked to see which way the Verizon card needs to be inserted. You skipped right past that part.

After owning 3 of these cameras for a year my review of these would be they are JUNK....I had 2 cameras solar panels go dead after 10 months and I replaced them right away...After replacing them I would try to get them to sync back up with my phone for getting the Date & time correct...I tried the reset button half a dozen times to get it to sync back up w these 2 cameras and it finally worked, but then 15 mins later the time & date was incorrect again. I decided all together these Tactacam cameras are JUNK & a waste of money. I'm willing to pay top dollar for the best cellular camera out there, I think I might try Reconyx cell cams.

Waste of money.

Hell no, what a way to make money off us dumb hunter's. I rather have the regular camera.
