[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5122316, member: 1409"] That's very encouraging, but my Reveal didn't keep up with the Browning cell cam with both mounted beside each other (same tree, same everything). Another issue, and a big one for me, the Reveal would [I]ONLY [/I]send (upload) a single pic per triggering event. When I talked to Reveal about this, they told me this was a "feature" to obtain better battery life. Often, I would set these cams to trigger say at 1 or 5-minute intervals, and to take 3 pics per triggering event. The Browning would send me 3 pics per event, on top of having more "events" (even with identical cam settings). We finally figured out the "recovery" time on the Tactacam was slow compared to the Browning, as to the Browning having more "events". But bottom line was the Browning was sending 100% of the pics taken, while the Tactacam was at 1 out of 3. Interestingly, the Browning still had longer battery life on 8 batteries than the Tactacam on 12. So for me, considering I was reliably getting more "events" and 100% of the pics taken transmitted, the Browning cam was the better value (even though it cost $100 more up front), but then ends up the Browning cost less over the 1st 12 to 18 months of operation due to a less costly monthly cell plan and longer battery life.
