Tactacam issues

[tfrye]

I bought one Tactacam XB and SK, the SK has worked great so far but my XB has had a few issues and I am curious if anyone has experienced similar issues with their Tactacam or other cameras. I bought a solar panel from amazon (link below) and the solar panel is fully charged but the cord will get loose and the camera will say its dead. When I go back out and push the cord in the camera shows 100% battery. I have ordered a new chord to run from the solar panel to the camera and will try that but if that doesn't work I may just order the solar panel from Tactacam.

I also just got an email this morning from Tactacam saying my SD card is 90% full and that I will need to clear pictures. I have it set up on loop so I didn't think this should happen?

Don’t worry about the emails if you’re set on loop. You will get memory full emails often. The card will just erase the old ones.

I have 6 cameras on solar panels and haven’t had the issue you have. I run two Tactacams panels and four Reaktor panels from Illusive Wildlife

Good to know on the emails, thanks. I searched all the posts on here for Tactacam before I bought and saw several folks using that solar panel I bought and it has good reviews. I am not sure if its just the cord, or something with the camera insert for the cord. I will just need to probably order a different solar panel to see if that works. I know the solar panel is fully charged because it has a button to check.

I believe that most solar panels come with multiple cables, or at least the Reaktors do, due to different brands using different sized ports.

Is it possible you're using a cable that's close to the same size but a little off, allowing it to eventually drop out? Just throwing it out there because if it did come with multiple cables and you still have them, you could try a different one instead of having to buy a new panel.

I am pretty sure only one of the cables would even fit so I am pretty sure I have the right one in but wouldn't hurt to double check.
