Review: Tactacam Reveal X Pro - What's NOT in the manual!

[@charlesknox6353]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video! Helped me out! Keep on doing what you do! Thanks from Middle TN!

[@SHredWorld]

Thanks, will do!

[@MadFF11]

Thank you! I just got one, and you answered a bunch of questions I had that the very limited instructions did not answer. Especially about being able to use the camera without a cellular subscription... no where in my instructions does it say that is possible. I like the camera, but the instructions are remarkably not informative.

[@SHredWorld]

Glad I could help!

[@noahbrown6830]

Man thanks a lot for this video been trying to figure out how I can view my videos from the app. Thanks much appreciated!!

[@SHredWorld]

Happy to help!

[@greenmoss]

Is there a way to use a Tactacam on UK cellular. Thank you for a very clear explanation.

[@SHredWorld]

I talked to Michael at Tactacam customer support. According to him, if you buy a unit in the UK it should have an appropriate sim card with it that you can activate. USA phone number: [phone] 0r [e-mail]

[@greenmoss]

Thank you for your assistance. I will contact support.

You play Sekiro too??

[@reconrc1787]

Ok so do you know how to do a remote format of your SD card? My card is almost full and I want to do a full remote wipe. Yes I know about the overwrite mode but that takes more time between pictures and eats up more power. I just want to be able to remote wipe like the other wireless cameras I have. I would appreciate any help.

[@z71chevyoffrd]

Format your card and that will erase everything

[@wayneclaude8942]

Or set SD to Loop so when full it drops the oldest pic to store the new one.

[@reconrc1787]

@wayneclaude8942 Thanks for the reply Wayn but I know about that function. My post above explained that. I'm trying to avoid the overwrite oldest option. It eats more power from the batteries each time a picture is taken and saved. It also takes more time for the camera process to cycle through start to finish and it can cause cameras to miss pictures. Thanks again for the response and Merry Christmas.

[@samonlte9136]

​@@reconrc1787 if you go to your camera in the app, there is a "FORMAT CAMERA STORAGE" option. Never used it myself, but I would assume this would do what you're expecting it to.

[@donnatuttle3316]

Is it possible to turn the camera on and/or off remotely? Would be great to turn it off remotely when the random squirrel is playing in view of the camera. :-).

[@SHredWorld]

I agree, it would be a great feature, but I could not find a way to do it remotely. Doesn't seem to be possible via the app. Always had to manually turn it off and on.

[@nickreeves14]

i agree i hate the windy days getting hundreds of pics took for no reason i tried the sensitivity level but no help there

[@samonlte9136]

If you were having the issue, you could alter your settings so that there was more delay in between photos. It would take up to a day to update, though.

[@krasspenn]

Great video

[@SHredWorld]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@chubbsmcnubbs5329]

How do I set it to automatically capture motion without the app?

[@SHredWorld]

you can use the camera menu to select/adjust video settings. As long as pic + video is enabled, it should record as soon as it senses motion. Without app, you need to retrieve/read SD card to see what it recorded.

[@weeweed86]

Thank you for the hidden info…

[@SHredWorld]

You're welcome!

[@MelandRandy]

If I use this at the ballfield can I watch from my phone live? 😃

[@SHredWorld]

No live view with this model.

[@Twistnthewind]

This is very good information......ty.....liked and subbed 👍

[@SHredWorld]

Thanks for the support!

[@mballard879]

I have a question about the data plan. I chose the intermediate plan 500 pics/camera. Is that per month, I hope!

[@SHredWorld]

believe that is monthly

[@Prose313]

There's other cameras out there $50 cheaper with the black flash...Tactacam was good when they first come on the scene but when I have to pay for HD photos it's literally just another way for them to make money....the camera was taking great photos until they added the concept ...in my opinion I'm going a different route next season

[@SHredWorld]

Completely understand. For my use, I couldn’t see much difference between regular resolution and HD pics. But I’ll use the camera again because I don’t want to have to learn the ins and outs of a different one.

[@DBS5377]

Tactascam! I'm running away from this company.

[@paulthomas8518]

Hello if I don't want cellular fee or an account Can, I still download photos to my phone and Live videos?

[@SHredWorld]

It will still record WITHOUT a cell plan, but you must retrieve media card and attach to a viewer to view/download files.

[@NoManch3sGuey]

how do you reset it?

[@SHredWorld]

For Tactacam Reveal X Pro, Enter to turn on unit, RT Arrow to get menu, Rt Arrow 3 times to get to More, Down Arrow to get to reset, Enter to select reset option, gdisplays choice to reset (yes or no)

[@NoManch3sGuey]

@@SHredWorld I should have stayed I forgot the code so I can't access the menu. This cam doesn't come with a reset button.

[@GB_PACKERS1]

can i use chip from my daughters tablet?

[@SHredWorld]

Depends on chip. Media needs to match camera requirements.

[@waynejohnson4941]

When you use port to download the video to another sd card, does it get the video from the camera card also? Does it do it quickly?

[@SHredWorld]

Sorry. Have never actually used that function. I just understand that it is possible. Instead I have two SD cards and switch them from time to time.

[@waynejohnson4941]

Thanks I might try it just to see it happen. I will post back the results. @@SHredWorld

[@SHredWorld]

Would like to hear how it works; thanks

[@jessehoffman8811]

@@waynejohnson4941 I’m curious about this as well. Did you ever figure out a good way to download from the USB port?

[@michaelriecher5632]

The documentation for this camera leaves a lot to be desired.

company does have good support. [phone] or [e-mail]

[@michaelriecher5632]

@@SHredWorld I agree they do have good support.

[@756766]

Is it Wifi compatible ?

[@SHredWorld]

No, this is a cellular camera only.
