Sounds like a good deal, hopefully someone can chip in for guidance

Meh....ran 3 last year. One bad right out of the box after driving 1.5 to go put it out. All 3 started leaking water about 2 months after they were put out. I wouldnt recommend them.

Thank you

No problem. I have noticed around here they arent even selling them this year. Im giving the Tactacam X Pro a shot this season.

I have 6 of them. Had 3 last year. Got 3 more for 50 bucks on prime day. I had one issue with one and it was the SD card. They are picky on brand and size. SanDisk 16gb min as I recall.

No leakage issue. Photos/detection isn't all that great but they have worked for me so far. I think they're basic. The 10 bucks per cam kind of sucks but I run them a few months a year. This is a non high resolution thumbnail.

I'm always surprised by negative reviews of these. I've run a handful over the past couple years and had excellent luck with them.

Only reason I stopped using them was I have too many tactacams, and I can't stand using multiple apps.

Hey Jason, if you are still in the market, shoot us a message, and we'd be happy to answer any questions you have.

My BIL likes them. Reason I went with tactacam was $5/month base rate vs $10/month with bushnell. All depends on how much activity you plan on but we have a few just for security at different places. I think I have like 15 cameras and that’s $75/month savings alone with the $5 plan vs $10.

Bumping this thread. @Bushnell

Recently deployed my 6 cameras and was only able to activate 2 of the 6. I'm told the remaining are "in process"

I called support everyday this week. Each day at varying times I'm told via machine they have a high call volume and are unable to take any more calls for the day. Try again tomorrow. So far the earliest the que has closed is noon. I spoke with a real person once so far and he said it's a app issue and it would be fixed within 4 hrs. I asked to be emailed confirmation as they are virtually in accessible by phone and he said he would, that never happened, nor has the issue been resolved.

 

[TSAMP]

Bump again. Phone support was not open as of 8:50am CST, and by 10:03am the que has been closed for the day due to high call volumes.

Nice @Bushnell

 

[steeleywhopper]

After reading all of this I'm going with a hard pass on these cameras!

 

[TSAMP]

Made it into the Que today! 9:15 CST reserved my place in line. Automated voice said I should get a call back.


@Bushnell - I'm feeling lucky

 

[TSAMP]

Update: there appears to be a Sweet spot between 9 am and 9 30am CST that you get into the que and can get a callback.

Sounds like Vista Outdoors, parent company of bushnell did some reorganizing and the customer support system is all shook up. Can confirm the wheels seem to be falling off the app, very buggy. I got everything activated with a 15 day unlimited plan free of charge for my troubles but 2 of 6 cams aren't checking in( this may be an issue on my end as one says batteries are low).

 

[TSAMP]

Update:

Once the free 15 day plans ran out I lost subscriptions again, cannot enroll via the app. The dance begins with customer support. These things are probably going to end up just being normal cams for me until they die.

Clearly the infrastructure at bushnell can't support the tech side of cellular data.

Still no response or remedy for the trail camera issues. @Bushnell has made this quite the task. I cant fathom having CS this terrible. I have to wonder I'd twitter/FB is where they spend their time instead of on phone/email. Clearly they don't check in here.

Wow you have invested way more time for no resolution than I would have. I will cross them off my list for any future consideration!

@Bushnell Update

Still haven't got ahold of anyone. 4 emails and 12 or more phone calls.

I am going to use these things without cellar data and just trash the company as much as possible. Anybody on the other media platforms please feel free to link this thread where applicable.

Man cell cameras seem to be such a hard nut for companies to crack for some reason. I've tried one of Mossberg's cell cams and the supposedly high end Barn Owl... both total trash, very similar experiences to yours. Sorry you got hosed the same way
