2019 Covert Blackhawk LTE Review

The 2019 Blackhawk is a 4G/LTE cellular camera that operates on Verizon towers. The Blackhawk takes good photos, has exceptional battery life, detects quickly and is relatively easy to setup if you follow the instructions step-by-step. The biggest downside to this camera is the detection angle being much wider than the field of view and blurry night photos on moving animals. Other than that, this is an excellent cellular trail camera that is among the most reliable we have tested. - TCP Staff

Trailcampro Analysis

The Covert Blackhawk LTE Verizon uses a 4G/LTE Quectel EC25-V module that allows this camera to operate on Verizon 4G/LTE towers. It is backwards compatible and should work on 3G towers while they are still active.

Picture Quality: 

Photo resolution: 20 mpxl (interpolated)

Video resolution:  1920x1080 w/ audio

Flash Type:  No Glow IR

Day pictures are really good as the pictures have solid clarity, good color, and overall depth on each image. Night pictures appear to have plenty of flash range but also show significant blurring on animals that are moving. Overall, the day pictures are excellent and the night pictures are well above average but struggle with movement.
