Rexing - H1 Blackhawk Trail Camera with Day and Night Ultra Fast Motion Detection - Green

Put in SD card (supposedly won't power on without it) and batteries (can use 4 if all at top or bottom or 8) but wouldn't power on. Checked to make sure all batteries were good and tried others but still wouldn't work. Got it to power up once but wouldn't power up again. Tried 4 different SD cards that were different sizes and manufacturers (per website doesn't like SanDisc cards for some reason) but still wouldn't power up. I also purchased a 6V, 2amp power plug but it still wouldn't power up. Emailed company to request a new unit. They requested picture of serial number, video of the device malfunctioning, bestbuy member ID and associated phone number. I sent them all the information, but haven't heard back from them. Instructions are minimal and website is not helpful. I'll likely return the camera to BB as I'm running out of time. I do NOT recommend this camera.

Received the order in timely fashion, so good start! The trail cam setup is pretty straight forward with a reasonable amount of options. Being a 'first timer', I do wish the directions were a bit more complete & explanatory. Daytime shots & videos were clear with decent clarity & color. Our primary target was nighttime marauders around one of our bird fountains the camera clearly recorded in pic & video to be a family of raccoons! Credit to the trail cam sensitivity even on a moonless country night, also recorded were several instances of bats picking off insects above the fountain!! with other fields & fountains & variety of wildlife to be viewed around our property, we'll be getting a few more soon-

I am still trying to figure out everything but it does work, it caught pictures of the raccoons stealing the suet bird food from the top of the pole in the middle of the night. I gave 4s because I am not use to it so until I am and can really see what it does.

The Rexing H1 Blackhawk is a decent, all purpose trail cam that will give standard definition photos in both high and low level lighting. In the box is the trail camera, mounting hardware, mounting strap, usb to mini usb, and instructions. Note, you need to purchase an SD card. I picked up a 128GB ultra (120 mb/s) card and the trail cam has performed read/write functions as expected. Setup is simple, determine where you want to mount, find the best mounting approach, and you're done. There is a small mounting plate included with included hardware to allow for a screw attachment at the base of the camera. The photos I've uploaded were taken using a strap and mounting directly to a tree in the area I wanted to monitor. To setup, there are two clips on the side that hold the camera together. Open the clips and when opened, the left half has a LCD screen, 8 buttons, and a toggle switch. The right half is the battery compartment. For batteries, the camera will operate off of 4 AA batteries, and the battery compartment will allow for up to 8 batteries, extending the time you can leave the camera in place without changing batteries. The operation of the camera is intuitive, turn the switch to setup, select "menu" and the arrow buttons allow you to scroll through setup options such as resolution for both photo and video, audio recording, video length, the number of photos taken in series, sensitivity, shot lag starting at 5 seconds and going up to 60 minutes, side motion sensor on/off, sensitivity, recording time on/off and duration, time lapse, language, endless capture, time / date, photo stamp, temperature units, and password protection. Lots of options if you want a specific configuration, for my purposes I set a 5 second lag and a 2 series shoot as well as turned on video. To review images and video, the LCD screen is decent, and you can view the photos on the screen, eject the SD card and save them via card reader, or connect the USB cable and view them on a computer. I found the photo stamp and temperature were nice features to have, and the image resolution was standard. I would not consider this a camera you could use for security purposes unless the individual was near to the lens and not moving quickly. The night photos were surprisingly clear and vision extended at least 10' from the camera placement. Some of the feature further away washed out, but larger objects, such as trees were still visible. See uploaded photos for comparison between day and night at same location. The results from my settings, with medium sensitivity, were quite a few photos of bugs flying at night, a few triggers when the wind blew the rope ladder, etc. The videos that were triggered were from longer events, such as chickens moving into the viewing field and being active. The reason for four stars is that there were times the family intentionally tried to trigger the camera, and I have no recording or photo of these events. While not a deal breaker, I wouldn't use the cam for security based on this in combination with the resolution. Overall its a great basic, keep an eye on the trail / feeder / outdoor camera. I have confidence that I wouldn't fill up the 128 GB SD card with medium traffic area photos, and the 8 batteries would ensure I could leave it for a few months without checking in.

Nothing bad to say, I used it and everything works. But a SD Card cause it’s not included
