Our Verdict.

The V1 looks low-cost at $100 up until you recognize it’ll cost you another $30 to obtain the GPS everybody must have. Incredibly stable daytime capture is the most effective function of this simplistic version.

Layout as well as attributes: On the extra side.

The Rexing V1 is a little on the large size. Not large sufficient to hinder anything if it’s mounted in the right place (behind the mirror is great), but if you’re seeking small– this isn’t it.

We assume GPS, a $30 add-on for the base model V1, is always a excellent suggestion. If the idea is to win your lawsuits, specifically.

The size, nevertheless, permits a 2.4-inch display screen, large buttons, and also enough air to moderate heat. There’s a solitary mini SD port, however Rexing does not include a card with the basic $100 V1 model we evaluated. Add $20 at check out for a 32GB card.

Which brings us to a conversation of the various versions. The V1 has a GPS port, and also there’s a $30 add-on module, but the complementary camera port is tricking because the V1 is just single-channel. The $130 V1P is dual-channel and also actually features a back camera, however again, add $30 for a GPS component. Probably the most effective deal of the number is the previously stated V1LG, which has actually incorporated GPS, a rear camera, as well as a 16GB mini SD card in package for $170. That is a pretty good bargain.

We’ve pointed out GPS quite a bit. Having GPS info on your video could be the distinction in between winning and losing your insurance claim, or suit.

The Rexing V1 installs flush to the windscreen, and also the camera component revolves vertically to match the perspective. You may think about utilizing a degree when installing the device, so you don’t end up with straight skew in your video clip. The installing did seem to influence the video rather– a lot more on that later.

The V1 places with adhesive, however the sticky as well as the install are different. Note that cooling the double-sided adhesive tape (in the refrigerator if needed) makes it much easier to eliminate the safety movie. You’ll know if you require to do this when the very first blasphemy stands out into your head.

The Rexing DashCam V1 installs flush with the windscreen, though a $6 suction place is additionally available. As long as you’re mindful aligning the device horizontally when you install it, the adhesive is most likely your better choice.

The Rexing V1 avoids driver-safety attributes such as lane departure or collision cautions. It does have one feature that’s brand-new to us: You can enter your license plate number for watermarking your videos.

Performance: Super constant captures.

The V1’s 170-degree, 1080p video clip quality is a mixed bag. It is exceptionally secure as well as sharp , if not fairly as color-rich as what we’ve seen on various other like-priced dash cams. However we noticed periodic, light artifacts when ambient light conditions changed. Either due to the distance between the lens and the windshield , or the rather large seeing angle, the camera likewise caught an abnormally huge quantity of dashboard reflection.

There’s certainly nothing incorrect with the V1’s day video clip. There is, however, some reflection from the control panel. With the camera tilted farther upwards, this result lowered but did not disappear.

The night video produced by the Sony Exmor sensing unit was good, especially in low-light problems. Headlight flare was a little extra disruptive than we’ve seen from a few other dash cams lately, but definitely much better than with the entry-level cameras of a number of years ago. Once again, either the wide-angle lens itself, or its distance from the windscreen, made the V1’s pictures more susceptible to distortion as a result of interior dampness or dampness outside, which we come across frequently in foggy San Francisco.

The V1’s evening captures are great. Its Exmor sensor manages low light situations well. Some of the distortion, yet not all of it, is San Francisco fog.

Final thought.

The Rexing V1 is a experienced camera, yet as well sparsely included to garner anything better than typical marks in our evaluation. The company saw to it I recognized that it offers something that can be in short supply with some dash cameras: technical assistance. It needs to be rather great if my communications with the Connecticut company are any kind of indication. While this is a solid item that takes great video clip for not a lot of cash money, the company’s V1LG is the far better deal overall.

Rexing’s $100 V1 dash cam takes really great day video, decent evening video clip, and is very easy to establish up as well as use. The V1 has a GPS port, as well as there’s a $30 add-on module, yet the auxiliary camera port is tricking because the V1 is just single-channel. The Rexing V1 mounts flush to the windscreen, as well as the camera element revolves up and down to match the perspective. The V1’s 170-degree, 1080p video quality is a combined bag. There’s certainly absolutely nothing incorrect with the V1’s day video.
