Customer Ratings & Reviews

The camera unit features a compact, straightforward design in matte black, allowing it to blend smoothly with most vehicle interiors. It mounts to the rear headrest using an adjustable strap that feels secure, although the materials are more functional than premium. The included monitor follows the same philosophy: lightweight, minimal, and easy to position on the dash or windshield using the provided mount. Cable management requires a small amount of effort, as both the monitor and the camera rely on power from the vehicle. Once neatly routed, the system remains unobtrusive. Image Quality and Daytime Performance The BC500 delivers 1080p HD video, which is more than sufficient to clearly see the baby’s posture, head movement, breathing motions, and general activity while driving. The image is sharp, with good color accuracy under natural daylight through the rear windows. The camera’s wide viewing angle ensures that most child seats—rear-facing or forward-facing—remain fully visible without constant adjustments. The monitor has a responsive display with no noticeable delay. For safety, this real-time responsiveness matters: a parent can glance quickly and understand the child's condition without visual lag or pixelation. Night Vision and Low-Light Behavior One of the strong points of the BC500 is its infrared night vision. The IR lights are completely invisible to the baby and produce a clean grayscale image even in complete darkness. Nighttime footage remains stable and easy to interpret, avoiding the grainy, noisy quality common in cheaper baby cams. This feature is especially useful for evening drives, long road trips, or early-morning commutes. Setup, Connectivity, and Ease of Use Setting up the BC500 is straightforward. The camera straps to the headrest, the monitor attaches to the dashboard, and both devices plug into the vehicle’s power source. Once powered, the camera and monitor automatically pair and establish a solid connection without the need for smartphone apps, Wi-Fi networks, or Bluetooth pairing. The lack of an app is intentional: it eliminates distractions, ensures privacy, and means that the system always works as soon as the car starts. The angle of the camera is adjustable, making it versatile for different car seat positions and vehicle sizes. Everyday Use and Reliability In daily driving, the BC500 performs consistently. Parents can check the monitor with a quick glance, similarly to checking a rearview mirror. The video feed does not lag, freeze, or flicker, and stays connected even on bumpy roads. The camera does not record video—its purpose is strictly monitoring—but this keeps the interface very simple and avoids the need for storage or app integration. The system is designed for real-time observation rather than security footage. Pros Clear 1080p HD image quality Excellent infrared night vision Dedicated monitor prevents smartphone distractions Stable, low-latency connection Adjustable viewing angle suitable for most seat setups Easy and fast installation No apps, Wi-Fi, or pairing complexity Reliable performance in both daylight and complete darkness Cons Materials feel somewhat basic, more functional than premium Visible cable runs unless properly tucked away Monitor takes up space on the dashboard or windshield No internal battery; requires constant power from the car Does not record video (monitoring only) The headrest strap is stable, but not as rigid as a hard-mount solution Conclusion The Rexing BC500 In-Car Baby Cam delivers a solid, reassuring, and distraction-free way to monitor your baby during car rides. Its excellent night vision, clear HD feed, and dedicated monitor make it far safer and more effective than relying on mirrors or improvised solutions. Despite its basic materials and dependence on vehicle power, its ease of use and dependable performance justify an Excellent overall rating.

This is a basic camera system that is very easy to set up and can either come on when the power is applied to the power port when you start your car or with the switch on the power adapter. I also liked that there is very minimal wiring and is very easy to install. You plug the power adapter into your vehicle and into the cable on the screen and there is a wire that goes from a cable on the screen to a cable on the camera. The connecting cable from the screen to the camera is 17 feet long so this system can be used in a car, SUV or van. It also is detachable at both ends so it is easy to route under and around seats when installing. One thing to note is the image displayed on the screen is a mirror image of what the camera is pointed at. This is a huge improvement over the mirrors they sell to keep an eye on your children in the back seat and allows you to view any seat or area of your vehicle. It would also work great for watching animals in the back of an car, SUV or van.

In Car Baby Cam When it comes to family, Human or Pet I always take safety first. I have used Rexing for many years, and this is a first. We need to keep an eye on the road and our family as well. This In Car Baby Cam is a great safety addition. I want to personally Thank Rexing for another FIVE STAR product. Easy to set up and use, The perfect addition to insure total safety. Highly Recommended!!!!

I bought the Rexing BC500 to help keep an eye on my toddler in their rear car seat, and overall it’s been a terrific addition to our daily drives. Setup was surprisingly simple since the camera straps to the headrest and the little monitor clips onto the dash with no fuss. Within minutes I had a clear view of my child without having to twist around or use a phone mirror! The 1080p HD feed is crisp and responsive, and the infrared night vision really works, so even on darker roads I can see what’s going on without needing cabin lights or distractions. The wide-angle view means I can adjust it for different seating positions. What I especially appreciate with little ones in the car is the peace of mind. Just a quick glance at the dedicated screen confirms my child is comfortable and calm, letting me stay focused on driving. It’s a much safer and less stressful solution than constantly checking a rearview mirror or fumbling with a phone. To be fair, there are a few areas to consider too. The materials feel pretty standard, focusing on function over premium. You'll have some visible cables unless you take the time to hide them, and the monitor needs constant power from the car, so you’ll want a good USB or lighter port handy. For being a straightforward, reliable in-car baby cam that gives real reassurance on the road, I’d recommend it to any parent who wants a clear view of their child without distraction.

We bought this baby cam once our newborn moved to a rear facing seat and I didn’t want to keep turning around while driving. The Rexing BC500 has been really solid so far. The picture is clear and the night vision actually works well, which was my biggest concern. Even on darker drives I can see our baby clearly without needing any extra lights or messing with mirrors. Setup was pretty straight forward and the screen sits nicely on the dashboard without being distracting. I like having a dedicated monitor instead of using my phone or trying to angle a mirror just right. It’s been nice knowing I can quickly glance over and see everything is fine without taking my eyes off the road for long. Overall it does exactly what it’s supposed to do and makes driving with a baby a lot less stressfu

I am absolutely thrilled with the Rexing BC500 in-car baby monitor! The 1080p HD video quality is crisp and clear, and the IR night vision works flawlessly — I can finally check on my little one during late drives without any guesswork. The 150° wide view paired with the fully adjustable 360° rear camera gives me complete coverage of the backseat, and the anti-glare display is a lifesaver on bright days. The vibration-free mount keeps everything steady, and the fast, tool-free installation was incredibly convenient — I had it up and running in just minutes. This monitor offers peace of mind, excellent performance, and zero hassle. Highly recommend to any parent!

This is an excellent addition to your vehicle if you have kids or even pets. It's super simple to install and easy to use. Both devices need power so you will need to have power access for your monitor and the camera. Both items are very lightweight. Simply mount the camera on the back of your seat and point it towards your little one. It does have a wide angle so you can get multiple kids in it if needed. All you have to do is connect both and walah, no more need to turn your head from the road to look in the back seat. Also, it does have an infrared camera so night time viewing is great as well.

Simple design and easily moved. If you don't mind a cable going from the screen to the camera, with multiple vehicles you can move back and forth. If you only have one vehicle then you can have the wire tucked and hidden. With the power plug, if your car has a plug that is on all the time, instead of having to unplug everytime, you have a convenient on off switch. Bonus if you have a pet, you can keep an eye on it!

Works great the installation canle is long so it can be wrapped around and hiden real good behind the trim. The image quality is good specially in the dark. I wish it came with a usbC instead of the cigarette lighter power adapter. Most modern cars have multiple usb c now and the cigarette lighter is not in a convinient location. I was able to find a usb c adapter that worked to power the device but it took some resewrch.

It wasn’t difficult to install. It’s not 100% good quality but it gets the job done. Overall for the price it is not bad at all.

Very easy to install. I love the camera quality, definitely worth the price! I can drive peacefully now being able to watch my baby without problems.

I bought this as a gift since I'm single. The recipient has told me good things about the monitor. It was easy to install and the small camera size didn't distract her child. She is happy and satisfied so far.

Works as advertised. Easy to install. Dinged one star because the suction cup used to attach the screen to the windshield or dash doesnt hold well.

We just welcomed a newborn into the family. This cam is perfect to set your mind at easy will driving. Easy setup.

I gifted and installed this camera to my sister who just had a baby. The camera was easy to install and she has the piece of mind to keep an eye on my lil niece.

Very clear video. Easy to install. Has and on and off switch on the plug in to power supply. Much better than just looking into the rear view mirror.

Never got the product to review. Order was placed, delivery scheduled, but then order was refunded. When I finally called to find out why, they said since it was at Christmas, shipper could not handle the volume. It was sent back and thus the refund. No one communicated this to me, Thought no huge deal just order after XMAS. Well here is where the issue comes in. Product was on sale at the time and I used a reward certificate, that never made it back to my account. So now if I buy it, full price on product and no rewards to use to discount. Not sure I will order it through Best Buy, since what assurances this will not happen again.
