External Solar for Tactacam Reveal X

[DZM]

I have one of these- works great

No batteries on the inside of cam- just plug and play into panel

The one I posted comes with several cables. The Reveal X has the same diameter plug as the 12 volt outlet of the power pack I posted.
The coverts also have that same plug, BUT THEY ARE 6VOLT!!! Ask me how I learned this!!

Can you guys share some setup pics with the solar panel?

Anyone had issues with the reactor solar panel running down too much and needing to be charged with the wall plug before it works again with a reveal x?

Have two on reveal x cams and they both died after being charged full and then put in the field.
Had to charge them again and then they worked again.

Don’t have any batteries in the camera so when it happens the cam goes off.

I’ve had 3 running over a year and it still shows 100% on them.


Did you fully charge it before putting it in the field?

After fiddling with the solar panel and getting spotty results, I decided to try the Energizer Lithium. I have to say I was more than pleasantly surprised. I had them in for 3.5 months, the camera showed 100% but I thought that was b.s. I tested the batteries when I changed them all 12 showed 1.7 volts compared to the new ones that showed 1.8 volts. I brought the old ones home and use them as needed in remotes,lights, etc. The battery pack also eliminates excessive wiring which can be damaged if not secured. My other move was to order from amazon under the subscribe and save to get a discount.

Has anyone had issues with the first gen models draining batteries quick? I'm going to try lithium batteries next time but as much as I move my camera and normally it's in a thicket without much sun the solar panels might not help me.

No idea then.

Had a buddy check on it, the solar panel is full of water.
Guess I’ll be calling them.
