Customer Ratings & Reviews

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-

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

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.

Highly customizable in resolution, video duration, sensitivity, and many other settings. Affordable for backyard nature lovers. I wanted especially to track the invading deer and the fox activity.

I've been using this trail cam in my big back yard for a couple weeks now, hoping to catch the big hairy culprit that keeps rolling around/sleeping in my daylilies. We've had problems with raccoons doing their business in the same area in the past and I much prefer the sleeping, but I still had to find out. Unfortunately, no mid-sized wild furry friends have shown their faces to the camera. All I've seen are some squirrels, cats, and mice. I do like the options within the camera menu that allow you to tweak timing and other settings. Once you figure out how to use the thing by scrolling through the menus it has a good amount of options. Having the date, time, and ambient temp on the final shot is nice. It did take me a couple days to realize I hadn't set the date. The strap and closures seem sturdy and because they are very wide, I was able to find a good place to mount them in a backyard and also felt like I would have no problem finding a tree they'd fit in the woods. The photos are clear, though I wish I had set it to take more of them at once so I could get a better sense of a critter and pick the best shot. I also would prefer a bit wider angle on the lens to capture more of the area around, but my application was fairly close-up and I guess I'd be happy with this if I was looking for a good shot of something 10-15 feet away. I don't like the fact that it uses standard-size SD cards for storage. I hadn't used one of those in a few years and had to scrounge around to find a microSD adapter. Seating the SD card also required the use of a hard flat tool. My fingernail was not enough.

Find out who is eating those outdoor plants! This is a nice compact unit that is motion activated in recording pictures or videos with sound, even in the dark.

GOOD TRAIL CAM CAM GREAT VALUE REXING - H1 BLACKHAWK TRAIL CAMERA WITH DAY AND NIGHT ULTRA FAST MOTION DETECTION - GREEN MODEL:BBYH1BHK Best Buy Tech Insider Network REVIEW: This unassumingly packaged trail cam packs a lot of features and good overall quality, especially for the price. It has been about 6 years since I purchased trail cams and wow have the features and quality greatly improved. Easy to use and set up the REXING - H1 BLACKHAWK TRAIL CAM has a lot going for it. Definitely worth a close look. I do wish they included a “starter” memory card and “starter” batteries, but most things don’t, so that is not a big knock. I’m not sure what is the native size of internal image sensor due to conflicting information between the manual, the BB website, and the mfg website. I think it is really only 2MP, but I’m not 100% on that, so check on your own if this is important to you. PRO’s - Built in Color Screen - Full 1080P video capture - 16MP Still captures (extrapolated from 2MP sensor as near as I can tell) - Waterproof design - Included USB Cable - Configurable Side looking motion detection - Audio Recording (but very faint) SETUP Just stick in batteries and an SD card then work your way through the menu system to fine tune “everything” from picture quality (PQ) to video quality and duration. You can tell the REXING - H1 BLACKHAWK TRAIL CAM to use or not use Side Motion detectors. You can program motion tracking sensitivity and more. During my initial testing it seemed to not be taking pictures, but I think that was due to a full SD card, and me not being careful with the position of the switch. (make sure you see the countdown timer). After a few more days of careful testing and setting detection for only nighttime hours it seemed to work fine. TIPS Don’t pull the SD card unless the device is fully off. Somehow, I managed to “Lock up” the unit and had to pull the batteries to get it to start up again. Don’t waste your memory space on more than 2MP images, as near as I can find out that is the native sensor resolution (according to the manual). Also, although videos are fun they chew up a lot of memory space, so maybe drop the video length to only a few seconds. Because the camera uses AVI the videos are not very compressed. Make sure when you put into “ON” mode you watch it count down from 10 to 0. A few times I got no images because I either did not put it into ON mode (forgot) or I slid the selection from ON/SETUP/OFF too quickly. Make sure you have a large memory card enough to get through a day or two of captures. If the card fills up, then it just stops taking images instead of overwriting old images. You can also set an internal timer for example dusk to dawn. PICTURE QUALITY The picture quality is OK to Good. You won’t be winning any nature photography prizes with the overall PQ, but it does what it is supposed to do. Even in bright daylight the pictures are a little grainy. Perfectly fine, but this is not an SLR camera (nor is it supposed to be). My old 3MP security cameras had about the same seeming image quality which makes me think this is really a 2MP sensor. Regardless, it is perfectly sufficient to see what critters are eating your plants. SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION The REXING - H1 BLACKHAWK TRAIL CAM is feature packed and at a decent price. I have no hesitation about recommending this product for a feature packed affordably priced trail cam. I wish it came with an SD card, but that is not a show stopper when you can get one for about $10. If your thoughts are to use this for security, note that it does not seem to overwrite existing images, so once your card if full it basically stops working (at least in my testing).

I live in a wooded area and I have had several trail/game cameras over the last couple of years, and I enjoy seeing what it roaming around the area. This is the fourth camera I have used, and it is very similar in function and overall design to the others I have had previously. In operation the interface is simple to navigate, and basic setup is quick and easy. The small screen inside is clear for both the setup and scanning through the pictures, though like all of these cameras, it isn't adequate for seeing details. Similar to my other cameras, this one came with a simple strap to attach the camera to a tree trunk or similar item, and a threaded socket on the bottom so that it can be screwed onto a camera mount, which is my preference. Over the course of the time that I had it out before reviewing it, I only got a couple of pictures. In fact, it was so few that I tested the camera sensors by walking in front and around it to make sure it was triggering. It seems like this camera takes fewer "wasted" pictures than my other cameras caused by moving trees, changes in lighting, etc...Overall, it seems like the sensors are little less sensitive than my other cameras (I run them all at max sensitivity) which has led to longer battery life, fewer pictures to check through, but it does seem to miss some shots based on my unscientific testing. The picture quality when it does take a picture is pretty good. At 16mp, pictures look pretty close to a 20mp camera I have in daylight, and the night-vision shots actually look better than any of the other ones I have now. My biggest concern with this camera is the build quality. It just doesn't seem like it will survive a long time in our ever changing New England weather. The overall feel is very inexpensive. Unlike my other cameras, the latches are simply single piece plastic "snap" catches without the familiar toggle style latches that can be opened and closed a lot without wear and tear. There is no soft gasket to make the two halves more water-tight. The battery compartment door doesn't seat quite flush and tight. Finally the SD card slot seems very sloppy in function and it has been difficult at times to fully seat or remove the card. These quality issues would make me unwilling to recommend it as I have other cameras that are similar in price an picture quality, but with much better build quality.

Not a bad camera... Setup was simple and intuitive. A little playing around and you'll be able to fine-tune it to your liking/needs. In the box is the camera, USB cable, mounting options, a strap and documentation. Please note, you will need 8 AA batteries and a memory card. It will support up to 128 G. As mentioned, set-up was simple but you will probably need to play around to get what you need. In the pictures, you will notice the amazingly rare and elusive Canis Lupus PieDogorus in it's natural environment in the back 1/3rd of 1850 Post Manor. In the other picture, you will also see the equally rare and elusive Canis Lups DoozerDogorus also at 1850 Post Manor as well. The pictures will offer you a great opportunity to see what goes on when you are not around and to scout potential hunting sites or watch what kind of shenanigans happen around your campsite at night. We are heading to Wellington Lake high up in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado tomorrow for a few nights starting tomorrow. I am looking forward to experimenting more and getting to know this camera and our campsite better. End of the day, I would recommend to a friend. **PLEASE NOTE, this product was provided to me at reduced or no cost in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

The Rexing - H1 Blackhawk Trail Camera with Day and Night Ultra Fast Motion Detection lives up to its promise. It is well made for the outdoors and easy to setup. All you need is an SD memory card, up to 128 GB and 4 or 8 double AA batteries. I was a bit intimidated at first seeing space for 8x AA batteries which I did not have, but when reading the user manual, it said the camera will function with only 4 batteries, as long as they are not rechargeable, because those are usually only 1.2 V and the camera needs 6 V to function. If you fully populate the camera with 8x AA batteries it will last in stand-by mode twice as long, that is 4-6 months. The camera comes with a couple of mounting options. Aside from the screw/tripod-like mounting option, my favorite is the vinyl strap that’s about 6 feet long, so it can be wrapped around anything, like a tree, to secure the camera. The built-in color LCD screen allows you view the pics and videos and also change all the configuration options, which there are many of, just about two dozen or so. The image sensor is only 8 Megapixels so it takes sharp pictures and HD videos both in daylight and night time. That’s in-part thanks to the large number of IR LEDs - 42 to be more precise. The multiple motion sensors are also impressive, can detect motion at up to 60 feet and trigger a photo or video shoot in 0.2 seconds (even when mounted upside down :-). The video format is only AVI, so unlike MPEG videos there is very little or no compression, therefore the video files will be fairly large and could fill up your SD-card quickly. At this price point, this camera does what it was designed to do quite well. Perhaps a future model could include a more advanced/space efficient video format, an integrated GPS and low powered bluetooth, so you could pair it with your phone from a reasonable distance so you don’t always have to take the SD-memory card out every time you wanted to see what the camera captured.

This outdoor wildlife camera was an interesting item for me to try.   So this can be used in wildlife or in urban life just the same in my opinion.  I tested it in the urban setting.  I hung it  on my driveway gate and put it low enough to capture my dog romping around and hanging out at her favorite spot. The outcome was pretty cool. Let's start with setup.  This item comes with a belt which is large enough to wrap around pretty large diameter tree.  It also comes with anchor plate and screw post so you can permanently affix it to a fixed object if you want.  So the options are limitless. Unpacking was easy.  I had to get 8 AA batteries.  Ouch.  Luckily I have rechargeable AA batteries so that was good.  Menu setup was easy.  Different options to capture along with video or no video resolution settings etc.  All was easy to setup.  I decided to use the strap to fasten which was really easy to use.  This was for day use.  With an 8 GB SD Card it lasted with highest resolution taking both still and video images from 9 am till 1 pm the same day.  This was from all the movement my dog and my kids and my family created that day.  After the card reaches its limit it stopped taking footage.  So keep that in mind when setting this device and also timing retrieving the device.  Also the motion sensor is really sensitive.  It picked up my umbrella moving and took almost constant footage because of this (umbrella was about 20 ft away).  Also the best focal point is about 10 feet away.  Anything further in distance and it gets blurry.  So keep that in mind as well. Night mode was pretty good.  The amount of infrared that this thing pumps out is amazing.  It really allows for full capture and makes sure that whatever is moving and gets captured is lit up and can be taken by this this Rexing outdoor camera.   Full day of capturing did not deplete the battery at all.  It was still fully charged from when I charged it originally. I would recommend this product if you want to capture wildlife or urban life impromptuly and on the fly.   I would recommend this product if you want to enjoy footage for outdoors or in the urban setting.  It was easy to setup and easy to pull the data down and share.   Nice job Rexing.

I have to tell you that I've been a fan of these, not for hunting, but for security purposes. It started when someone stole the wheels and tires off of my new Subaru Crosstrek when they first came out; my wife wanted this car because of the wheels, seems someone else did too. Found it up on cinder blocks. Since I live in a condo controlled townhouse, I had to find something quick and not permanent that I could use to record activity that was happening in front of my house, back of my house, etc. So I started looking at these trail cams. Since then, I've played around with quite a few of them. I like this one the best. Rexing makes the dashcams I've used in my cars (still do). And this is basically a dashcam in a box. But it isn't that simple. There are things about this that make it a great trail cam. One of the best is the ability to record still frame images AND video at the same time! That is huge. And I am recording at 1080p and that video is very impressive. Don't believe me? Check out the screen shots in the image review section. Very impressive! It was well thought out with the IR light, side motion detectors, a place to put on a padlock, and also a pin code to lock down the unit. The mounting hardware that comes with it is very well thought out too. I am very impressed, and for the money spent, you will be too. They put a lot of value into this unit. As luck would have it, the pesky fox that has been hanging around showed up on the first night I had this out front. He is eating berries that are falling off the tree. And who knows what else. So, this captured him from like 2" in front of the unit. Impressive. The bird too. But the bird pic is taken in the morning when there was heavy rain and overcast skies. You can see it is a bit dark. But to be expected. You do get good detail none-the-less. The built in playback screen seals the deal for me. For ones that don't have that, forget it. You can't see anything and have to keep taking the card in/out to see how it is positioned and if in the right spot. Also, the slide switch to activate the unit, put it into playback/programming, and off, that is a valuable feature. Very valuable. If you don't know what to get, I will tell you from my personal experience, this is a decent unit. And it plays back on MAC or Windows computer.

This camera is very easy to use and comes with a lot of features at a great price point. My favorite part of the camera is the built-in color screen to view the pictures. It's going to be so convenient being able to see the pictures out in the woods and decide if there is anything worthwhile to bring the chip in or just leave it for more pictures. So far I have only tested it in my yard and it picked up movement very well and took great pictures and video. I have a still image of a rabbit uploaded here on the review that it picked up, and wish I could share the videos of the rabbit and the person spraying our lawn as it would show how great it picked up the movement. The files of the video are just too large for this review at around 60mb for 10 seconds. The setup is very easy and straightforward. You’ll see in the photo the temperature was set at Celsius but once I realized it, I quickly went in and changed it to Fahrenheit. There are also settings for the photo and video resolution, length of the video, and motion and sensitivity sensors. When you activate the camera for use, it also counts down from 10 allowing you to get out of the way. I have not owned the camera long enough to know how long the 8 AA batteries last but appreciate that they are also easy to access while the camera is mounted. Overall, this camera seems like a can’t miss at this price point.

I’m not a fan of using eight AA batteries but the camera can also be powered by an external adapter which is a good option as well. Almost any SD memory card will work. The sensors work really good picks up almost any emotion just be sure to adjust your settings as needed. Night mode see is very well even though the picture is in black-and-white you can still make out fairly small objects. Not a fan of the sound that it makes when it’s taking a picture or recording some thing it’s a loud clicking noise. Overall this is a really good beginner trail camera.

This is my first trail cam but not my first Rexing product. Just like my other Rexing products it feels well made especially for the price. The main appeal with trail cams are being able to put them anywhere you want and not having to rely on an internet connection. The camera is extremely easy to setup and has a lot of customization on the color screen on the inside of the device. You can change the photo and video quality, # of photos it takes, view your photos and videos and more. With an adapter you can plug the trail cam directly into your iOS device and download your photos and videos to your device. I can’t guarantee you can do this with all versions of iOS, but running 14.6 on my iPad Pro I was able to. The device comes with everything you need to mount the device, the only thing you’ll need is an SD card and it supports up to a 128 GB card.

This Trail Cam is awesome. I have had it set up at my home in the mountains of West Virginia for a year now and I have captured photos and video of Bear, Dear, Bobcats, and other critters. It's always fun for the wife and I to download the vidios and photos and see what new wildlife has been visiting. Simple to use and fun to watch the result.

This trail-cam does a decent job, but there are some oddities that I found hard to explain. Setting the device up was relatively simple. I left most of the settings as default, but I did increase the sensitivity to high. I was hoping the product would come with an SD card, but it didn't, so I used a spare 8GB SD card I had lying around. Once the trail-cam was setup, I had to pick a place to put it. I have about 13 acres, with about 7 acres of it being heavily wooded. There's ALOT of animal activity; I've seen coyotes, bears, turkeys, and tons of deer. I placed the trail-cam on what appeared to be a well traveled path and left it for 2 days/nights but caught nothing other than a few times where I assume leaves were blowing. I then moved the trail-cam to a tree near my driveway and garage, and it caught several deer as well as me pulling in and out of the garage, but it failed to catch my aunt who pulled her car up to my garage and turned around. How did that happen? I have no idea. I then placed the camera on a pole on the other side of my driveway. Again, it caught several deer as well as me entering and leaving my garage, but on the last day of testing, it failed to catch me walking down the walk to retrieve the SD card. I was directly infront of the camera for at least 20 ft and yet no pics were taken. There's a lag setting that lets you set how long the camera should wait between pics (I had it set to 5 secs), but I was infront of the camera for at least 10 secs, with no pics being captured. Again, I have no idea how that can happen. I could understand if the SD card had filled up, but it was no where close to being full. That said, the images from the camera are clear and the field of view, even at night, is good. I did test the video capabilities briefly, and the video/sound are good, but since I can't upload videos, so I focused on pictures. So far, I like the product, but I have a big issue with the fact that it doesn't seem to capture all movement.
