[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1958964, member: 63925"] Just received Tactacam Reveal ATT yesterday and will be putting it out this morning. Initial impression is quite good. [LIST=1] [*]Good solid case with large locking clasp [*]2 different 1/4" standard camera thread which will be nice for different mounting options [*]Nice large mounting strap [*]Ability to cable lock through two security eyes on back of camera [*]Setup was incredibly easy even for a 70 year old non-millenial but still techy guy. [*]Unlimited data plan was reasonable and bought the annual plan. [*]Setup menu is intuitive and so easy even I was able to scroll through fast and set the parameters I wanted quickly! :eek: [*]Can go up to 24MP which is really nice photo detail [*]Does require 12 batteries but will see how the life span goes and will report back on that [*]The APP allows you manipulate photos, manage camera settings as well. Easy to text or email photo but realize it will be low kb photo since it was sent to you. [/LIST] Couple of pics just to show what it looks like etc. One I start to get a few I will post up as well. I am hoping the night pics are better than what I have gotten in past from many different cameras. The only night pics that worth a darn were with an actual flash. Neighbors kept thinking a storm was coming so I had to move it 😅 August 18, 2020 Update: Just thought I update from using it for 5 days: [LIST=1] [*]The App does not reflect the entire camera menu. [*]The App does not include video in the menu and if you change any picture parameters it will cancel out the video selection if you have it as a combo pic and video. [*]The App does not have sound with the notification even though it is stated to be so in the App which was a royal PITA of wasted time trying to figure out why my phone was not giving out a sound with the notification. They know that and I suggested a short note telling folks would be NICE so we don't waste hours trying to fix our phones!!!! [*]The App SMS and email notifications do not seem to be working. [*]Video is pretty good (when I still had it) and teamed up with pic selection well. [*]Sensitivity and range is FANTASTIC! I cannot believe how far away I am capturing pics of deer and even a stray cat. [*]Since sensitivity is so good, make sure all branches are completely trimmed back or else a pic of your landscape is going to be frequent. [*]Night pics look pretty good so far. Clear enough for IR and not fuzzy. [/LIST] The real problem I see with this camera is the App needs some serious updating to make it more practical and better coordinated with the camera menu.
