Rexing Version Update

Rexing’s $100 V1 dash cam takes very good day video clip, good night video clip, and also is very easy to establish as well as utilize. We like it.

If you have area in your budget, for $170 you might step up to Rexing’s dual-channel, dual-camera V1LG with integrated GPS, or go to our complete checklist of up on dash cam reviews for more options.

Specialist’s Rating: 4.5/ 5.

Budget friendly.
Good daytime and also ample nighttime captures.

Cons.

Doesn’t include Micro SD card.
GPS is a $30 add-on.

Our Verdict.

The V1 looks economical at $100 till you realize it’ll cost you one more $30 to obtain the GPS everybody need to have. Remarkably stable daytime capture is the very best feature of this bare-bones version.

Layout and also features: On the spare side.

The Rexing V1 is a little on the large size. Not large sufficient to hinder anything if it’s installed in the appropriate place (behind the mirror is great), however if you’re looking for tiny– this isn’t it.

We think GPS, a $30 add-on for the base version V1, is always a good idea. If the idea is to win your lawsuits, particularly.

The size, nonetheless, permits a 2.4-inch screen, large buttons, as well as sufficient air to moderate warmth. There’s a solitary mini SD port, yet Rexing does not include a card with the standard $100 V1 version we examined. Include $20 at checkout for a 32GB card.

Which brings us to a discussion of the different designs. The V1 has a GPS port, as well as there’s a $30 add-on module, but the complementary camera port is deceiving due to the fact that the V1 is just single-channel. The $130 V1P is dual-channel and also really features a back camera, yet again, add $30 for a GPS module. Most likely the very best bargain of the number is the formerly discussed V1LG, which has integrated GPS, a rear camera, as well as a 16GB micro SD card in package for $170. That is a pretty good bargain.

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

Efficiency: Super consistent captures.

The V1’s 170-degree, 1080p video clip quality is a mixed bag. It is incredibly steady and also sharp , otherwise quite as color-rich as what we’ve seen on other like-priced dash cams. We noticed periodic, light artifacts when ambient light conditions shifted. Either as a result of the distance in between the lens as well as the windscreen , or the rather large checking out angle, the camera also recorded an abnormally big amount of dashboard reflection.

There’s definitely absolutely nothing incorrect with the V1’s day video clip. There is, however, some representation from the dashboard. With the camera tilted further upward, this impact reduced however did not disappear.

The evening video created by the Sony Exmor sensing unit was excellent, particularly in low-light problems. Headlight flare was a bit extra distracting than we’ve seen from a few other dash cams just recently, yet certainly 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 windshield, made the V1’s images much more at risk to distortion as a result of indoor dampness or wetness outside, which we run into often in clouded San Francisco.

The V1’s evening captures are excellent. Its Exmor sensor handles low light circumstances well. A few of the distortion, but not all of it, is San Francisco fog.

Conclusion.

The Rexing V1 is a experienced camera, but too sparsely featured to garner anything much better than ordinary marks in our review. While this is a solid product that takes good video clip for not a great deal of cash, the business’s V1LG is the much far better deal in general.
