BEST PRACTICES
1. Location and placement is critical for best camera performance.
2. Avoid hanging the camera on small trees that are prone to moving with
the wind.
3. Place the camera about waist height on the tree or post.
4. We recommend having the camera pointing down about 7 to 15 degrees,
We recommend using shims to achieve the desired angle.
5. To achieve the best lighting conditions, face your camera north. Always
avoid facing your camera toward the sun.

plan to set your camera to watch a bait station or scrape.

PROPER CAMERA PLACEMENT

• For the best view place your camera at an angle looking up or down the trail
rather than perpendicular to the trail.

BEST PRACTICES
1. Use the recommended batteries for the Reveal:
2. In cold weather, use lithium ion batteries for best camera speed and
performance.
3. Expected picture count with the proper batteries (in greater than
freezing temps) are:
4. If connecting the Tactacam External Solar Panel (sold separately),
the lithium batteries would act as a backup power source.

TO HELP PREVENT THEFT OR DAMAGE
Motion sensors (PIR sensors) are actually heat and motion sensors. This is
why on a hot and windy day, people get false triggers. People and animals
are not the only objects that will trigger your camera; vegetation and
precipitation can act as a moving target as well.
1. Be sure to clear any low hanging tree branches, brush, and weeds from
2. Motion sensitivity recommendations:
• Set to High to start, and decrease sensitivity if you’re getting too many false
triggers. 9 being the highest and 1 being the lowest.

1. Make sure that the SD card is not full. If the SD card is full, the camera
will stop taking images. Users can turn on SD Loop to avoid such
problems. This will cause the SD card to overwrite older images.
2. Make sure that alkaline or NiMH-AA batteries have enough power for the
camera to work.
3. Format the SD card with the camera before using or when the camera
stops taking images.
CAMERA STOPS TAKING IMAGES OR WON’T TAKE IMAGES
TROUBLESHOOTING
The Reveal is IP66 rated waterproof. This means the camera is water
resistant against powerful jets. The only way the Reveal can get
condensation in or behind the lens is if the antenna is not screwed in
all the way, or if there is dirt or debris on the seal. Follow these at home
instructions to alleviate this issue if need be:
• Pull the SD card out and let the camera sit for 3-4 days open, in an area where
there is circulating air (fan or vent).
• You can also put in a sealed container with rice for 24 hours to draw out the
moisture.
• Clean the seal well and tighten your antenna.
•
1. Do not open the camera right away.
2. Be sure to dry the outer housing of the camera, preventing water from
entering the inside of the camera and causing internal damage.
