Tactacam REVEAL Reviews

I purchased the Tactacam Reveal X camera after my Snyper Cam quit broadcasting via 3G. I was very happy with that set up, and was hoping for something as good with this camera and app combo.
My first big issue is with the quality of the pictures sent to my iPhone and computer. The photos are quite small and you must zoom in to try to see the subject in the picture. Unfortunately, the quality is quite often too low to tell what you are looking at (I have the camera set to the highest quality setting). There’s a cost associated with downloading HD photos through TactacamREVEAL , and even those leave a bit to be desired.
The second issue I have is TactacamREVEAL error message stating that “this camera has no photos” and “this account has no cameras”. This happens on both my iPhone and computer. Even as this message is showing, I still get notifications that I have a new photo. Sometimes it corrects it self quickly; other times it takes quite a while to finally be able to view my photos.
I love being able to use TactacamREVEAL to change settings from anywhere with my iPhone and have them take affect immediately. Unfortunately the issues that I have are likely related to TactacamREVEAL and in order to use the camera for remote viewing, I have to use TactacamREVEAL. If this persists, I will not be buying additional Tactacam cameras and will change camera manufacturers for next hunting season. The camera seems to be top-notch, but is mostly useless to me because of TactacamREVEAL 😣

I had bought the Wildgame innovations new Insite camera and I could not get it to work at all. I returned it and purchased this camera after reading the reviews for the Tactacam Reveal Cellular Trail camera. My cell phone had 2 bars of service but my Camera had full bars 4G with the nice size antenna they use. I started receiving pictures within a few hours of placing the camera. Pictures were clear, and very nice! I am loving this camera, I am glad the developers are listening to suggestions on TactacamREVEAL . I would like to see like a live view option, where we can tap into
The camera and just see what’s there sometimes when I think there should be deer there in. It getting a hit. It would be nice to be able to live view it and see what’s sitting there. But great job on this camera, and keep up the good work. I have taken about 30 pictures and battery life is still at 100% on alkaline.

You can beat this camera especially for the price if you are on the fence on this camera please take a look at this camera you won’t be disappointed! Thank you Tactacam for making an affordable very good quality trail camera.

Tactacam is adapting to new changes and demands in the outdoor industry in many ways... One of which is using the Tactacam Reveal cell camera used in conjunction with the Reveal by Tactacam app. The Tactacam Reveal cell camera takes high quality images at a very affordable price. Paired with lithium batteries, the camera has a long lasting battery life and consistently sends images directly to your mobile device. TactacamREVEAL allows users to adjust camera settings, such as delay, picture frequency, mode type, and many others, without having to disturb your hunting area. Updates to TactacamREVEAL are available as well as software updates for the camera. It’s very tough to beat the reliability of the unit, the user-friendliness of TactacamREVEAL , and the technical support and customer service provided by the Tactacam team. Although Tactacam has only been in the cell camera business for about a year, their camera and app is top notch and will continue to make advancements in their technology and continue to be a frontrunner in the cell camera industry.

After 3 years of using the Reconyx Ultrafire, I heard about the Tactacam Reveal. I was interested because of the cell capabilities and the video function. I had several friends say it would rival the quality of my Reconyx and blow away my bushnells. I run around 20 cameras at a time and thought I would like to try the Reveal and see if it would be a good replacement for the lower quality bushnell cams. I was hoping for quality in between the two cams and was not expecting them to be as good as the Ultrafire.
After two days of operation, I was very pleased to see the Reveal was about 90 % as good as the Ultrafire! Almost the same quality pics and video! I was like a little kid waiting to see what would pop up on my phone next!
The $100 price, instead of the $600 price of the Ultrafire, makes this a no brainer, I will definitely be replacing several of my cams this season with these new cams and will be giving my best referrals to all of my friends and family!
Thank you, Tactacam. Great quality product, just like all of your other cams!

I’ve been using trail cameras for several years. With the advent of cellular cameras I have tried several other companies cameras, and while they function as designed. However, I found myself often discouraged at poor battery life, unreliable function, and sub par customer support. I purchased my first of five REVEAL cameras in June 2020. I could not be more pleased with the ease of set up, the quality of the photographs and the intuitive functioning of TactacamREVEAL.

Using the Tactacam Reveal app and the easy instructions activation of my cameras was a snap. I was able to get up and running in five minutes it took me longer to install the batteries and SD card! As a new camera on the market you would expect that there would be some trials and bugs. But every single camera that I have has worked flawlessly. If I had any questions Tactacam customer service was always there to assist me with anything that I might encounter.

They continue to make improvements routinely upgrade the application in listen to customers feedback for improvements in future versions. The only problem that I see with TactacamREVEAL and Camera system is there will be point in time with my wife finds out how many I have!

I would highly recommend the Tactacam Reveal and this accompanying app when you venture out into the woods for your trail camera needs.

So I purchased several other cameras and ended up returning them due to the terrible app and not being able to download or get service. On my final attempt at having cameras on my land lease I bought 2 tactacam reveal xb and 1 tactacam reveal. All 3 have been awesome. App was super easy to download and the $5 per month fee per camera was all I was charged. It gives you 250 photos per month. You can see the photos for free but once you tap on them it counts towards the total. So I would screen shot the photos and go to my pictures to zoom in and see if it was something I wanted. At the end of the season I went on TactacamREVEAL and selected cancel service and I wasn’t charged again. The also have an unlimited data option for $100 per year per camera. I’m not writing this review to help the Manufacturer I am writing to help the purchaser. Great product and great app !!

I’ve own a lot of cellular game cameras and there has always been something missing. Either TactacamREVEAL interface with the camera etc... Then I tried Tactacam and it’s everything I’ve been wanting . I really like the way you can manage your plan and change it at any time. I also enjoy how I can monitor, update, change settings to my camera with TactacamREVEAL all in the palm of my hand while my camera is in the field. The Reveal was extremely easy to set up and to even add another camera. If you are an avid outdoorsman and you rely heavily on game cameras to monitor or scout particular animals, the Reveal is a must have . I will not use another camera, not saying other cameras aren’t good but I’m saying the interface between the Reveal and the Reveal app is undefeated in my book:

Hallelujah we’ve finally gotten an update to TactacamREVEAL for push notifications on iOS! “It’s been 84 years” Getting audible notifications is an invaluable tool for so many of us, and with these being some of the best cameras out there not having that feature was just mind boggling. There are still some bugs to work out - there is no badge on TactacamREVEAL when a notification comes through, frustrating and annoying when things are on silent on your phone, so that needs to be addressed. And, another competitor can send previews/thumbnail photos with their notifications on the Lock Screen and the Apple Watch, that is a feature that would be incredible here. Especially since that competitor has a far inferior camera product. If I could take TactacamREVEAL capabilities of that one, and the camera of this one, it would be the ultimate package!

I’ve used trail cameras for 15 years and 6 months ago I made the switch to cellular trail cams and I will never go back! I purchased 3 Tactacam Reveals, put them out, and I still haven’t had to physically go to the cameras! The Tactacam Reveal app organizes all of my cameras, makes it simple to add cameras, it’s packed with a lot of very usable features, it’s easy to use, and it allows me to receive photos instantly from my hunting locations to know if game is in the area. Getting the little notification on my phone that I have a picture, makes me feel like a kid on Christmas morning. If you enjoy running trail cameras, you need to check this system out!

The notification badge icon on TactacamREVEAL doesn’t work and it is toggled to on in app settings and phone settings. The point of a cell cam is to not have to travel to the woods, not being able to view the 24mp pics on TactacamREVEAL is a bummer. If I want to see good pictures I’d have to go and retrieve the SD card, the reason why all of us buy cell cams is so we don’t have to travel out into the woods and stink up the area. Also the camera settings in TactacamREVEAL where it shows “camera status: last update, battery, signal, memory, temperature” all of it says unknown. If the camera had cell service it should be able to transfer that data to TactacamREVEAL . GREAT camera and great features but there are some kinks that need to be worked out and improved upon as mentioned in this review. Can’t wait for a future update to remedy these issues.

i’ll update the rating if TactacamREVEAL starts getting updated. badges should be a simple addition. Banners are a PITA esp when working on something or trying to open a banner from another app when this banner suddenly pops up. A select all deleted function is also great. Sure it’s not needed and it really does nothing but I like to delete all of the photos daily and when they are hitting corn or minerals a lot it’s impossible to keep up with deleting. It’s ashamed a GREAT camera has such a poor app. I’d pay twice as much for the camera if TactacamREVEAL was more practical! The only thing Spartan and spypoint does better is TactacamREVEAL . I hate to pay 400$ for a camera for the woods but after owning reconyx trail cams i’m spoiled to the best so imo get TactacamREVEAL functionality up and tactacam will own the trail cam business. until then they are just blah.

I have had several trail cameras over the past years (yes dating back to film trail cameras) and I must say the Tactacam Reveal has been not only the best but the easiest to set up. Pairing my camera to TactacamREVEAL was also easier than other I have had. With my experience with TactacamREVEAL all the features from deleting multiple pictures at once to viewing each camera individually makes this a 5 star app. Also last thing I will say is the customer support is second to none if you have a recommendation for a change in TactacamREVEAL let them know and you just might see it happen!

Really like the camera, it sends better photo quality than all of my spypoints. It has worked flawlessly the past several weeks. The reason I rated it 4 out of 5 stars is because I believe there are a few things in TactacamREVEAL itself that would make it so much better. like being able to scroll picture to picture instead of having to go back and click the next picture, and also having the ability to do a selection/select all on deleting pictures rather than having to do each individual picture.

Camera is fine, but TactacamREVEAL and associated features are disappointing. I’ve had Spypoint for past couple of years, and feel they have it down better. However, their cameras aren’t reliable. To improve, at a minimum, increase number of times to receive pictures to at least 6, preferably 12. More importantly, deliver pictures in batches rather than sending 50+ individual notifications when pictures are sent in the twice a day mode. Additionally, gallery view of photos would be nice, as well as ability to delete groups of photos, rather than having to delete individually. Also, why not show badge indicating number of new photos?

I have yet to pull my SD card from the camera to see the quality of pictures to it. I was really pumped after seeing the 5 star ratings online compared to the other cellular cameras and the price for a cellular camera. I gave 2 stars because the price is good and the setup is simple. The reason I can’t give it any better is the poor quality pictures that comes to TactacamREVEAL . I have to leave the camera on 8 MP just to have somewhat of a clear photo I can see from my phone. This is the main reason for wanting a cellular camera and to avoid entering the area every time to check the SD card. If the quality of the photo improves coming to TactacamREVEAL to where I can actually set the camera to 24 MP I’d give it a 5 star until then this is where I have to leave it.

Tactacam has outdone themselves. Not only very consistently amazing in their customer service but TactacamREVEAL is fantastic! Easy to use and share, my dad got excited about hunting again this year because of this camera/app keeping him excited knowing what was walking around(saved several young bucks lives seeing pictures on our phones instead of having to check a card). Thank you Tactacam for an easy to use and navigate app to help me in my scouting efforts! Things like this and your customer service will keep me a customer for life!!!

TactacamREVEAL doesn’t send me notifications when I get pictures (yes I changed the notifications through TactacamREVEAL and in the settings). When I swipe down on my notifications screen they will be there. But no badge icon either so if I missed the notifications there’s isn’t anything on TactacamREVEAL either. And then when I look at my pictures I can’t swipe left or right to look at the other pictures. I can only look at one at a time. That’s extremely annoying! Also the screen on the camera needs a delay test mode that has like a ten second countdown so you can close the camera and take a picture so you know where the camera is pointing.

I have used cameras for years, and had many years of setting them up hoping to get the right shot,height location and so on. Then waiting months to check! With the ease of use with the tactacam and app I can check my photos location immediately after setting up and start getting pictures instantly! It’s like Christmas morning every time I see the pending photos icon on my phone! From deer hunting to turkeys and even coyotes it has been amazing. Will be getting more no doubt! Ease of use and price can not be beat!!!

I got the chance to purchase and run 4 Tactacam reveals this past deer season and I’m so glad I did! TactacamREVEAL was easy to use and made sorting through the pictures and cams quick and efficient. I was able to score some great pics of my bowhunting target buck preseason and luckily was able to take him on opening bow day. The best feature is being able to adjust the settings and timer for each cam from TactacamREVEAL . After having spy points for years, this was hands down more user friendly and efficient to use!

The Tactacam Reveal app allows me to see pictures from my Tactacam Reveal as they are taken. I love being notified instantly of action in my hunting spot! TactacamREVEAL is incredibly easy to use and intuitive. I can name my cameras, change settings, activate/deactivate all with just a few touches. I can also keep tabs on my cameras battery status and cellular connection. My favorite feature is being able to create albums and organize all of my best photos for easy retrieval later - this way I can keep individual albums of all my bucks!!

Love the cameras and by far better pics than my other cell cams. The new update makes viewing pics so much easier. Tactacam has done a wonderful job. Rated 4 of 5 for one reason and one only, would love to see TactacamREVEAL with the ability to send pics at set times. For instance every picture taken, once a day,or even up to 3-4 times a day. Just help me sleep instead of waking up all night for every transmission. These cameras are addicting to us fanatics and can’t help myself but to check. Can’t wait to have 20!

This camera has really rocked the Industry in my opinion. I’ve tried several cell cams in the past few years. None of them compare to this one and this one is half the price. TactacamREVEAL is getting better with it being new it needed some tweaks and they have updated some things. As requested with several updates in the future to make it the best app ever built just like they do with there cameras. I’m impressed as a whole with the quality on product and efficiency of the camera and app. Great job tactacam

This is my first cellular camera and I am absolutely impressed with it for the price. There are a few flaws tho but for 99 Bux what the heck why not. You should be able to scroll through photos instead of backing out each time (annoying). Also the antenna is weak at the joint. A bear cub recently broke it off but it still works surprisingly. All in all I’m very happy with it. Sure beats walking to a remote location to pull an SD card

This is a great camera and TactacamREVEAL is continuously being updated by Tactacam which is a great feature. I can’t wait for the iPhone notification tone to be added. It would be nice to have better quality photos sent to my phone rather than the thumbnail but I also realize that this would use up more battery at the same time. I have pictures of a buck I didn’t even know existed as well as numerous Bear that I did not know lived on my property A+

TactacamREVEAL doesn’t work very good I know you guys are awesome this should be a 5 star. Please fix so I can change this soon.

1) you can not turn off or on cellular function if you want to use without cellular as a regular camera on on camera or TactacamREVEAL . Have to remove sims to disconnect that.

2) no sound for notifications not even a vibrate either. This is a must if we do not want to hear it we can turn it off on our phone. The sound is turned on both my phone and app NOTHING.

3) doesn’t have app refresh in phone settings. I’m figuring that’s probably why it says nothing or unknown for my camera status. Or wait 24 hrs to change the settings on the camera it should be instant.

4) no way to turn of the PIR sensor for false triggers or unwanted animals like cows making the camera go nuts.

5) doesn’t have a daily test picture sent to you make sure camera is working property.

The camera works great and gets awesome service. The only issues are that I can’t scroll left to right through the pics when your in the screen where you can zoom in on the pictures. Some pictures only partially download and the parts that don’t download will be gray and some pictures won’t download at all and it will just be a black screen.

The Reveal camera is budget friendly, high quality camera that reliably delivers photos instantly to your smart phone, computer or tablet. TactacamREVEAL is feature rich, easy to use and is quite possibly best on the market. Camera setup is easily accessed through TactacamREVEAL , along with camera setting that can be changed and set remotely. TactacamREVEAL and camera will not disappoint!

TactacamREVEAL is super user friendly and updated regularly as user input is received. The camera is the best on the market and when used with TactacamREVEAL , it makes it even better. All the perks of a quality camera sent to an app for instant review. It makes it super easy to keep the camera up to date with the latest upgrades and features.

I think the camera works flawlessly with great pictures. TactacamREVEAL needs a little work and it would be 5 stars, I would change TactacamREVEAL where you can scroll through the pictures instead of having to back out and go to another one and I would fix it to where you can select all to delete or pick and choose which ones.
