Rexing Shuts Off After

Rexing’s $100 V1 dash cam takes very good day video, good night video clip, and is very easy to set up and use. We like it. Yet it’s simplistic: Adding GPS, which we suggest, sets you back an additional $30. If you have room in your budget, for $170 you could step up to Rexing’s dual-channel, dual-camera V1LG with incorporated GPS, or go to our full checklist of up on dash cam assesses for even more alternatives.

Budget-friendly.
Great daytime and adequate nighttime captures.

Doesn’t consist of Micro SD card.
General practitioner is a $30 add-on.

Our Verdict.

The V1 looks economical at $100 until you recognize it’ll cost you another $30 to get the GPS everyone need to have. Extremely constant daytime capture is the very best function of this simplistic version.

Style as well as attributes: On the spare side.

The Rexing V1 is a little on the plus size. Not large enough to interfere with anything if it’s placed in the proper location (behind the mirror is great), but if you’re looking for tiny– this isn’t it.

We think GPS, a $30 add-on for the base design V1, is always a great concept. If the idea is to win your litigation, specifically.

The size, nevertheless, permits a 2.4-inch screen, huge buttons, as well as enough air to modest warmth. There’s a solitary micro SD slot, yet Rexing doesn’t consist of a card with the basic $100 V1 version we assessed. 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, as well as there’s a $30 add-on module, however the complementary camera port is tricking since the V1 is only single-channel. The $130 V1P is dual-channel as well as in fact features a rear camera, yet once again, include $30 for a GPS component. Probably the best deal of the bunch is the formerly mentioned V1LG, which has integrated GPS, a back camera, as well as a 16GB mini SD card in package for $170. That is a pretty good deal.

We’ve mentioned GPS rather a bit. Having GPS info on your video clip could be the distinction in between winning as well as shedding your claim, or lawsuit.

The Rexing V1 installs flush to the windshield, and the camera component turns up and down to match the perspective. You might take into consideration using a degree when installing the device, so you don’t wind up with straight skew in your video. The mounting did appear to affect the video rather– extra on that particular later on.

The V1 installs with sticky, however the sticky and also the mount are different. Keep in mind that cooling the double-sided adhesive tape (in the refrigerator if essential) makes it much easier to eliminate the protective movie. You’ll recognize if you need to do this when the first obscenity pops into your head.

The Rexing DashCam V1 installs flush with the windscreen, though a $6 suction install is likewise offered. As long as you’re mindful straightening the device horizontally when you mount it, the adhesive is probably your better option.

The Rexing V1 avoids driver-safety attributes such as lane separation or accident warnings. It does have one function that’s new to us: You can enter your certificate plate number for watermarking your video clips.

Efficiency: Super steady captures.

The V1’s 170-degree, 1080p video clip quality is a mixed bag. It is exceptionally steady and sharp , if not quite as color-rich as what we’ve seen on other like-priced dash cams. Yet we saw occasional, light artifacts when ambient light conditions changed. Either due to the distance in between the windscreen and also the lens , or the instead broad viewing angle, the camera additionally recorded an uncommonly large quantity of control panel representation.

There’s absolutely absolutely nothing wrong with the V1’s day video. There is, however, some reflection from the dashboard. With the camera tilted further upwards, this result reduced however did not go away.

The evening video produced by the Sony Exmor sensing unit was great, especially in low-light problems. Front lights flare was a little extra distracting than we’ve seen from a few other dash cams recently, but certainly much better than with the entry-level cameras of a couple of years back. Again, either the wide-angle lens itself, or its range from the windscreen, made the V1’s images much more prone to distortion due to interior wetness or wetness outside, which we come across frequently in foggy San Francisco.

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

Conclusion.

The Rexing V1 is a experienced camera, yet too sparsely featured to amass anything far better than typical marks in our review. While this is a solid item that takes excellent video clip for not a whole lot of cash money, the company’s V1LG is the much better deal generally.

Rexing’s $100 V1 dash cam takes very good day video, good evening video, and is simple to establish up and also make use of. The V1 has a GPS port, as well as there’s a $30 add-on module, yet the supporting camera port is tricking due to the fact that the V1 is only single-channel.
