Rexing S300 Reviews

Rexing’s $100 V1 dash cam takes great day video, good night video, as well as is simple to set up and also utilize. We like it. It’s bare-bones: Adding GPS, which we suggest, sets you back an extra $30. If you have room in your spending plan, for $170 you can step up to Rexing’s dual-channel, dual-camera V1LG with incorporated GPS, or go to our full checklist of up on dash cam examines for even more alternatives.

Specialist’s Rating: 4.5/ 5.

Pros.

Budget-friendly.
Excellent daytime and ample nighttime captures.

Cons.

Does not include Micro SD card.
GPS is a $30 add-on.

Our Verdict.

The V1 looks low-cost at $100 until you realize it’ll cost you an additional $30 to get the GPS everyone ought to have. Incredibly steady daytime capture is the most effective feature of this simplistic design.

Layout and also functions: On the spare side.

The Rexing V1 is a little on the large size. Not large sufficient to disrupt anything if it’s placed in the correct location (behind the mirror is great), yet if you’re searching for little– this isn’t it.

We assume GPS, a $30 add-on for the base design V1, is constantly a good concept. If the suggestion is to win your lawsuits, especially.

The size, nonetheless, allows for a 2.4-inch screen, huge switches, and sufficient air to modest warmth. There’s a single micro SD slot, yet Rexing does not consist of a card with the fundamental $100 V1 design we examined. Include $20 at checkout for a 32GB card.

Which brings us to a conversation of the various designs. The V1 has a GPS port, and also there’s a $30 add-on component, yet the supporting camera port is tricking because the V1 is just single-channel. The $130 V1P is dual-channel and also actually features a back camera, but again, include $30 for a GPS component. Probably the very best bargain of the bunch is the formerly discussed V1LG, which has actually integrated GPS, a back camera, and a 16GB mini SD card in package for $170. That is a respectable bargain.

We’ve mentioned GPS rather a bit. Having GPS info on your video could be the distinction between winning and losing your claim, or claim.

The Rexing V1 mounts flush to the windscreen, and the camera component rotates up and down to match the perspective. You may take into consideration using a level when installing the system, so you do not end up with straight alter in your video clip. The mounting did appear to affect the video clip somewhat– more on that particular later.

The V1 mounts with glue, however the glue and also the mount are different. Keep in mind that cooling the double-sided adhesive tape (in the fridge if essential) makes it much easier to eliminate the safety film. You’ll know if you need to do this when the initial profanity stands out into your head.

The Rexing DashCam V1 mounts flush with the windshield, though a $6 suction place is additionally available. As long as you’re mindful aligning the system flat when you place it, the adhesive is probably your much better choice.

The Rexing V1 misses driver-safety functions such as lane departure or collision warnings. It does have one attribute that’s brand-new to us: You can enter your license plate number for watermarking your video clips.

Performance: Super steady captures.

The V1’s 170-degree, 1080p video high quality is a variety. It is very secure and also sharp , otherwise fairly as color-rich as what we’ve seen on other like-priced dash cams. We noticed periodic, light artifacts when ambient light conditions moved. Either as a result of the range between the lens and the windshield , or the rather large seeing angle, the camera additionally recorded an unusually huge quantity of control panel representation.

There’s absolutely absolutely nothing incorrect with the V1’s day video clip. There is, nonetheless, some representation from the dashboard. With the camera slanted further upward, this impact decreased however did not go away.

The night video generated by the Sony Exmor sensing unit was great, particularly in low-light problems. Front lights flare was a tad more distracting than we’ve seen from a few other dash cams just recently, but definitely better than with the entry-level cameras of a couple of years earlier. Once again, either the wide-angle lens itself, or its range from the windshield, made the V1’s pictures much more vulnerable to distortion due to interior dampness or wetness on the outside, which we come across frequently in clouded San Francisco.

The V1’s night captures are good. Its Exmor sensing unit manages reduced light situations well. Several of the distortion, but not all of it, is San Francisco fog.

Final thought.

The Rexing V1 is a proficient camera, yet too sparsely included to amass anything far better than average marks in our review. The company made certain I understood that it offers something that can be in short supply with some dash cameras: technical support. If my communications with the Connecticut firm are any kind of indication, it needs to be fairly excellent. While this is a solid item that takes great video clip for not a lot of cash money, the firm’s V1LG is the far better offer overall.

Rexing’s $100 V1 dash cam takes really great day video, good night video clip, and is very easy to establish up as well as utilize. The V1 has a GPS port, and also there’s a $30 add-on component, yet the supporting camera port is deceiving due to the fact that the V1 is only single-channel. The Rexing V1 mounts flush to the windscreen, and also the camera aspect rotates vertically to match the horizon. The V1’s 170-degree, 1080p video high quality is a blended bag. There’s certainly nothing wrong with the V1’s day video.
