Review on Rexing TL1 Time-Lapse Camera: Full HD Video, Wide-Angle Lens, Long Battery Life, Loop Recording - Perfect for Photography, Construction, Nature Observation by Ted Slaughter

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works really well once you set it up, but it's a bit pricey

Overview: **Rexing TL1 Time Lapse Camera 2.4 Inch 1920 x 1080 LCD Full HD Video 110° Wide Angle Lens Battery Life 6 Months 2W White LED Loop Recording Up to 512GB Storage for Photography, Construction and Surveillance for the Nature** Advantages : Robust case looks very waterproof and withstands all environmental influences. Once you program it, it's very easy to use. Support for memory cards up to 512GB that can record a TON of video. The picture quality is pretty good. - You don't have to do anything to get a time-lapse video - it's generated automatically - Creates AVI video files that can be easily viewed on almost any computer Bad: - Requires 12 AA batteries (8 if you're not using a light) - Figure it out , as it requires little effort to set everything up - the menu system is not very intuitive (but not bad once you get the hang of it) - very poor quality attachments - no memory card included, not even a cheap 16G card - slightly overpriced in Considering the alternativesB Ott Line: I really like this camera and I was very impressed with the video but I was disappointed with the price. This very camera sells for about 40% less (under $200) under other brand names, even with the $30 discount currently offered for this camera, bringing the price down to about $260. They change the plastic outer casing, nameplate and start menu for each brand, but other than that this camera seems almost identical to cameras offered by other brands at a much lower price, and some of them even include memory. Map. So while I can recommend this camera for slow motion video (we're using it to record a house demolition project and will be using it again to document a new house build), I'd recommend buying it from one of the other brands available. I can't tell what the difference is in camera quality, recording, or even the software, but other brands can be bought for a lot less here at Revain.

Pros
  • SCHEDULED RECORDING: Use the touch keyboard to choose what times on a specific date to start, stop and repeat recording. Leave the camera alone to record every event for up to 6 months with excellent battery life.
