My buddy and I both run Tactacam Reveal X and love them. We also run the solar panel and get great battery life. My cam has been out for months taking pics and it still says 100% power. Before, a busy cam could drain 12 AA batteries in a few weeks but mine is set on triple burst 30 sec or so pause and takes a video at the same time.

Sounds like tactacam and spypoint are top of line here.
Huh ,maybe if I ever reinvest,I'll go that direction.
Moultrie sucked for me anyway.

I have SPYPOINT Flex and Tactacam reveal X and I like the pic and video quality better on the Tactacam. Both have similar plans. The SPYPOINT has a free plan though. The Tactacam is a bit more adjustable in the settings.

Had any issues with either ? Cams would be up 6 months or so if they came down at all

I had one issue with a Tactacam pro eating batteries. I have 6 Tactacams and that was the only one that gave me an issue. I returned it to Cabela’s and got the same model and it’s been fine. Most cams have been up since at least May.

My Tactacam with solar panel in warmer months goes months. Cold months it will drain lithiums and a solar panel in 3 days or less.

Once the solar panel gets to the point that its draining your AA's like that you need to take the solar panel home abs charge it over night. They recommend doing that every couple months regardless. Hope this helps.

My spypoints didn't last two years

The tacticam seems like a good middle ground on price vs performance to the point we went all tacticam vs Spartans and we could double our cameras...out of the roughly 30 tacticams we didn't have any failures during the fall months.. had 1 die during the summer

Spartans are sweet but pricey, killer image quality

Idk about other cell cam apps but I really enjoy the app and operability that comes with the Tactacams. Easy and everything were it should be.

Just ordered tactacam 2-pak Gen 2 which included battery pack, sim cards, solar charges for each.  Not the cheapest option should get me going I hope! Picked up 80 acres tomberland and be nice to take a look at it once in awhile.

I wouldn't start with 6-10. Maybe 2-3. I have a feeling the animal rights activists on our wildlife Commission will be cutting out baiting and cams pretty soon if they're not stopped.

Where did you order it from ? I was going to order this year's cameras with the battery pack to hopefully cut down AA costs

Done that several times. It won’t charge overnight. Usually in less than 2 hours it’s fully charged.
