The takeaway: There is a new, smarter way to share cameras with other REVEAL users. Whether you are sharing a lease, part of a club, or are scouting an area with partners, you can now share cameras using a simple QR code or direct link–no email addresses required.

REVEAL users have a new way to share their camera imagery.

Sharing camera feeds is helpful for a variety of reasons, including if you share a lease, are part of a hunt club, want feedback on your camera placement, are looking to make informed decisions about habitat improvements or harvest goals, or are having your cameras pull double duty as property surveillance and security.

What is REVEAL Camera Sharing?

Camera sharing is a feature in REVEAL that helps you get the most out of your REVEAL trail cam experience. Camera sharing lets you share your REVEAL account with other users without revealing your log-in credentials. You need the most recent version of the REVEAL app for this–check for updates in your app settings page.

REVEAL camera sharing is totally free.

Reasons to Share Your REVEAL Camera Feed

  • Scouting assistance from friends, fellow lease holders, or club members

  • Different perspectives on animal behavior, travel corridors, and potential stand locations

  • Camera placement feedback

  • Property surveillance and security

  • Herd management, harvest goals, and habitat improvement feedback

  • Sharing excitement over notable sightings

  • Tracking animal interactions

  • Predator monitoring

  • Capturing any unusual events, from storms to rare sightings

How to Share Your REVEAL Camera With a Group

  1. Open your REVEAL app

  2. Make sure you are using the most recent version of the app

  3. In the upper left corner of your app, click on the three horizontal bars, then click on “Sharing”

  4. Create and name a group

  5. Click on “Invite users to group”

  6. Either enter their email to invite the user by email, or click on “Link”; once the QR code is generated, you can share it or have the co-user scan the code

If someone shares a camera with you, you should get a banner notification; you can also select the three lines, click on “Cameras,” and “Shared” should have a red dot indicator.

To accept a shared camera, simply accept all or choose individual ones.

To decline access to a camera, select the three lines in the upper left, go to “My Cameras,” select “Shared,” choose a user, and hit “X” to deny access, then “Decline invitation.” To stop sharing, go to the shared camera list, choose the user, and toggle the switch from On (green) to Off (black). To reshare, simply toggle back on to On (it will show as Pending in yellow).

To view photos from a shared camera, select the three lines, go to the “Shared” column, and choose “See All Shared Media” or pick a host’s camera and select “See Shared Feed” under their name. Note that you will not get notifications for new pictures on shared cameras, and that you cannot delete shared camera photos or create galleries.

To turn off access to a camera feed shared with you, under My Cameras and Shared, choose the user and camera and tap the trash can icon. You can regain access to removed shared cameras but the host will need to send you a new invitation.

REVEAL’s new camera sharing features help you and your crew gain more insight into animal movements and patterns, and can yield a wealth of additional information. This upgraded feature is easy to launch–share your trail cams now to get the most from your REVEAL app.
