Our Verdict.

The V1 looks cost-effective at $100 up until you recognize it’ll cost you one more $30 to get the GPS everybody ought to have. Extremely constant daytime capture is the very best attribute of this simplistic model.

Layout and also functions: 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 correct location (behind the mirror is excellent), however if you’re searching for little– this isn’t it.

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

The size, nonetheless, permits a 2.4-inch screen, large switches, and also sufficient air to modest heat. There’s a solitary micro SD port, however Rexing does not include a card with the fundamental $100 V1 model we assessed. Include $20 at check out 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, however the auxiliary camera port is tricking since the V1 is only single-channel. The $130 V1P is dual-channel and in fact includes a rear camera, however once more, add $30 for a GPS module. Probably the best deal of the bunch is the formerly discussed V1LG, which has incorporated GPS, a rear camera, as well as a 16GB micro SD card in package for $170. That is a respectable offer.

We’ve mentioned GPS rather a bit. Having GPS information on your video clip can be the difference in between winning as well as shedding your case, or suit.

The Rexing V1 mounts flush to the windshield, and also the camera component revolves vertically to match the horizon. You might consider using a degree when mounting the device, so you don’t end up with horizontal skew in your video. The mounting did appear to influence the video somewhat– a lot more on that later.

The V1 places with sticky, however the sticky and the mount are different. Note that cooling down the double-sided adhesive tape (in the refrigerator if required) makes it much easier to eliminate the protective film. When the very first obscenity stands out into your head, you’ll understand if you need to do this.

The Rexing DashCam V1 mounts flush with the windscreen, though a $6 suction mount is likewise available. As long as you’re cautious aligning the unit horizontally when you install it, the adhesive is most likely your better choice.

The Rexing V1 misses driver-safety attributes such as lane departure or accident cautions. It does have one attribute that’s 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 top quality is a mixed bag. It is exceptionally stable and also sharp , otherwise quite as color-rich as what we’ve seen on various other like-priced dash cams. We noticed periodic, moderate artifacts when ambient light problems shifted. Either as a result of the distance between the lens and also the windscreen , or the rather vast seeing angle, the camera likewise caught an unusually huge quantity of control panel reflection.

There’s certainly nothing incorrect with the V1’s day video. There is, nevertheless, some reflection from the dashboard. With the camera slanted farther up, this result lowered but did not go away.

The night video generated by the Sony Exmor sensing unit was great, especially in low-light problems. Front lights flare was a little more distracting than we’ve seen from some other dash cams just recently, however definitely far better than with the entry-level cameras of a couple of years earlier. Once more, either the wide-angle lens itself, or its distance from the windscreen, made the V1’s photos more vulnerable to distortion because of indoor moisture or dampness outside, which we come across regularly in unclear San Francisco.

The V1’s night captures are great. Its Exmor sensing unit handles reduced light circumstances well. A few of the distortion, but not all of it, is San Francisco fog.

Verdict.

The Rexing V1 is a proficient camera, yet also sparsely featured to gather anything far better than typical marks in our review. The firm made certain I comprehended that it provides something that can be in short supply with some dash cameras: technical support. If my communications with the Connecticut business are any sign, it ought to be quite excellent. While this is a strong product that takes excellent video clip for not a great deal of money, the business’s V1LG is the better offer generally.

Rexing’s $100 V1 dash cam takes extremely excellent day video clip, decent night video clip, and also is very easy to establish up and also utilize. The V1 has a GPS port, as well as there’s a $30 add-on module, yet the complementary camera port is deceiving since the V1 is only single-channel. The Rexing V1 mounts flush to the windscreen, as well as the camera element turns up and down to match the perspective. The V1’s 170-degree, 1080p video clip quality is a blended bag. There’s definitely absolutely nothing wrong with the V1’s day video.
