I run 3 of them all year round over big salt licks. I personally do like the gen 1 over the x though. I have solar panels and have been pleased with them. I have one that has sent 62,843 pics over the past 3 years.

Mine is on a a greenfield with a feeder that has been full since October. I average deleting about 125pic a day off the camera. I am on my second set of Energizer Alkalines since October and they still say 50%. I have been impressed with the battery life. That being said the camera is in an area with excellent Verizon service so I am sure that plays a big roll.

ive changed the batteries exactly once this year since buying the solar panel. it has been awesome

They all have scan disk extreme ones, u3 or whatever their specs call for. I have never gotten all my pics on any cellular cam. They also don't send videos.

I have issues all the time. I talked to their rep at BPS saturday and tried 2 of their rechargeable batteries to see if that helped. Went out and installed them and one of the camera's wouldn't detect a signal. Had to pull the sim card out and rub it on my shirt to fix that. It just seems like no matter what I do with them, they run for a while, and then start acting up. They also will show a good signal one day and a bad one the next. I had far less issues out of my spypoint, but it didn't send me all the pics either.

Maybe my lease is some super top secreat alien landing site.

They send videos if you do the updates according to the news/tech data on the web page. I updated all of mine, none are activated at the moment. The update doesn't work on the original cam.

When in doubt. Change the batteries !

Quailman does! 😂

I guess I'm opposite of most people, but I prefer the X model. I climb trees to hang my tactacams and being able to connect to the cam to aim it ensures I only climb once lol.
Elk will flat out break off an antenna and bears on occasion so, mine go high.

My problem is with the date and time stamp. I can put new batteries in and it will give the correct date and time for about 1 day and after that the camera still works but it gives me a 2/07/2106 date and 6:28 AM time stamp. It does this with lithium AA batteries, alkaline AA batteries and with the rechargeable lithium battery packs. The camera will take pitchers for a month or so - but they all have the same date and time stamp. Anybody else have this issue.

You have two options to fix this. You can try a hard reset if that doesn't work then you will need to email tatacam for a firmware update. The hard reset did not fix my camera and had to email tatacam support for the firmware update. They will send it to you via email and you place it on a clean SD and card and follow their instructions.

Call them, they emailed me a fix for that exact problem. I had to download it to the sd card and then put it in at follow their instructions. It has worked as it should for the past 3-4 months.

New batteries fixed my camera. Thought I'd update since this thread was bumped back up.
