    Grand kid and “Bike” Camera

    Grand kid and “Bike” Camera This purchase will have two uses; first as intended, a backseat watching the kids camera for the grand kids, but also a rear facing bike camera so I do not have to turn around to watch approaching cars. First the rear seat view camera. Unboxing and connection were super easy; this is a simple device intended to view the kids from the dashboard rather than turning around while driving. Cables are impossible to mix up. Use the suction cut to mount to the dash, plug into 12V car power jack. Use the straps to attach to the back of the front seat... it works! An additional great feature; the 12V power plug has an integrated on/off button; no need to pull out when not in use. Easy Install (no Instructions needed!) Long extension cable for camera to front power included. Simple to use (no setup needed!) Good Price Bike Camera Previously I made a custom REAR facing camera for my bicycle which blueTooth connects to my phone. The picture is far too SMALL to do me much good seeing cars approach; blueTooth connection/disconnect is irritating. Soon I will mount this camera/screen onto the bike for when the kids are not visiting. Display size is better than my phone; color is good compared to existing camera. Ya, it is not approved for rain... I will cover it with a bag and go home until the sun is out again.

    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.

    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.

    I’ve been using Rexing dashcams in my vehicles for years, so when I started looking for a way to keep an eye on my 6-month-old granddaughter during our weekend outings, the Rexing BC500 Baby Cam was one of the first ones I looked at. Having a dedicated monitor is much safer than trying to glance into a shaky headrest mirror, especially when she’s rear-facing and I’m navigating Southern California traffic. Here’s my take on it from a grandfather’s perspective, Setup and Installation: The installation is very straightforward—no need to be a tech expert. It took me less than five minutes to strap the camera to the rear headrest and run the cable to the dashboard monitor. Since it plugs directly into a USB port or car charger, I didn't have to mess with any complicated wiring. It’s "plug and play" in the truest sense, which I appreciate when I'm quickly getting the car ready before picking her up. Picture Quality (Day & Night): The 1080p resolution is exactly what I’ve come to expect from Rexing. The image is crisp enough to see if her eyes are open or if she’s dropped her pacifier. The real "wow" factor for me is the Infrared Night Vision. It kicks in automatically as soon as it gets dark, providing a clear grayscale image. It gives me a lot of peace of mind when we’re heading home and she’s already drifted off to sleep in the back seat in her car seat. The Dedicated Monitor: The 4.3-inch screen is a perfect size—large enough to see clearly at a glance but not so big that it blocks my view of the road. It comes with a suction cup mount that stays secure even on some of the bumpier roads around here. Unlike some newer baby cams that require a smartphone app, this is a closed system. I prefer this because I don't want to be fooling with my phone or worrying about a Wi-Fi connection while I'm driving. Wide-Angle View: The 150-degree wide-angle lens is fantastic. It covers the entire backseat, so if we eventually have a second car seat back there, I won't need to adjust much. The 360-degree rotatable camera head also makes it easy to get the angle just right, regardless of how the car seat is positioned. Minor Cons: The only slight downside is that the screen can be a little tough to see in direct, high-noon sunlight due to glare, though the anti-glare coating does help a bit. Also, the build quality feels a bit more "plastic" than their high-end dashcams, but for the price point and the purpose it serves, it’s more than adequate. My Verdict: If you’re already a fan of Rexing products, this is a no-brainer. It’s reliable, easy to use, and provides a much better view than any mirror ever could. For any grandparent who wants that extra layer of safety and peace of mind while driving with the little ones, I highly recommend it….. And the price can’t be beat.

    I have been using Rexing cameras for quite some time and have added this camera to the others to help monitor around a corner in my workshop.

Functionality: Designed for live, real-time monitoring only; it does not record, use Wi-Fi, or require apps.Pros Reliable View: Excellent, clear, and steady, even on bumpy roads. Night Vision: Highly effective, allowing for clear visibility at night. Simplicity: No complex app pairing or Wi-Fi setup needed. Cons No Recording: It is a monitor only, not a security camera. Cable Management: Cables may be visible and require management. Power Dependent: Requires constant power from the car; no internal battery. Basic Build: Materials feel functional rather than premium.

    Perfect Peace of Mind for Parents on the Go

    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!

    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

    My wife and I are expecting a child, so we started looking into different safety features available on the market. This camera caught our eye, and we decided to get it. It had good reviews and wasn’t very expensive. After purchasing and installing it, we decided to test it out. We took a long trip to visit my parents, with our dog in the back seat. The camera came in very handy because our dog got car sick, and we were able to monitor him throughout the drive. The video quality was great at night—just as clear as during the day, or even better compared to when I had to turn around to check on the puppy. We’re really liking this camera and plan to keep it. I’m not very tech‑savvy, but I was still able to install it within 30 minutes. We also already have a Rexing dash camera from years ago (we bought it maybe 10–12 years back), and it still works great. Because of that experience, we didn’t hesitate to buy the same brand again. Our old dashcam has saved us a lot of money when we were involved in a collision. Long story short, this is a great brand, the camera works well so far, and I highly recommend 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.

    You can’t go wrong with anything from Rexing. Their products are high quality, intuitive and easy to use and easy to install. I’ve been a loyal customer, owning five Rexing dash cams and dash cam accessories throughout the years and they all worked flawlessly. This baby monitor from Rexing is similar to their other automotive products. High quality, easy to install and use and priced well. If you need to monitor your baby or pet, this is a huge upgrade over the standard mirror.

    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!

    We were shopping for a Rexing dashcam for my wife's new car since we have one for my car when we saw this device. We did not know that Rexing has a baby camera so we decided to pick one up too. Installation was a breeze - basically plug and play. We're excited to test it in full once our little one comes in a couple of month!
