Tom, Have you had any battery issues with your Reveal? I have two cameras out. One that took some photos Saturday night into Sunday morning. It has not sent any photos since. It has transmitted about 25 photos. I checked the battery level yesterday afternoon and it showed 80%. This morning it showed 60% battery level. The signal strength is moderate. The other camera has transmitted over 30 photos snd is still at 100% battery. The signal strength is moderate as well. It sounds to me like the first camera is having issues. Either it’s taking lots of photos that aren’t transmitting or something is draining the battery. Both cameras have the same firmware number, SD cards, snd Energizer Lithium ion batteries. I haven’t heard back from Tactacam support yet. Something is goofy with your cam. I've had mine out since last November and my batter is still at 90%. Check your camera status and see when the last update was.

Well the camera started sending photos again so I’m not sure what’s up. I still haven’t heard back from Tactacam support.

The last update status was at 428am this morning. It should not draw the batteries down that fast. It could be you had a bad battery in the bunch. It could be that you have a bad signal and unit was searching to send pic. Also what kind of SD card are you using as that can cause camera to take longer to read and write which will cause some battery drain. My guess is that you had a bad battery or 2.

Lol, the battery level went up on it to 70% but, the signal level is now showing weak. I’ll have to check it out closer this weekend. That area has 2-3 lte bars normally.

Are they in stores now, or not? I got an email earlier this week stating they were in stock, I want to say at Bass Pro maybe? I don't have the email anymore.

I made these but use the wing nut on the side to tighten the swivel to get the angle I need. I also will probably put them a foot higher. This one is about 7’ right now. I also will bring a drill and pre drill the holes.

Ok. What’s this? It’s a mile from the nearest house. It looks like it has a long tail and is much larger than a house cat.
