Our Verdict.

The V1 looks economical at $100 up until you understand it’ll cost you one more $30 to obtain the GPS everyone ought to have. Exceptionally steady daytime capture is the very best function of this simplistic version.

Design and attributes: On the spare side.

The Rexing V1 is a little on the plus size. Not large sufficient to disrupt anything if it’s mounted in the appropriate place (behind the mirror is excellent), but if you’re seeking tiny– this isn’t it.

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

The dimension, nevertheless, permits a 2.4-inch display, large buttons, and sufficient air to moderate warmth. There’s a solitary mini SD port, however Rexing does not include a card with the fundamental $100 V1 model we reviewed. Add $20 at checkout for a 32GB card.

The V1 has a GPS port, as well as there’s a $30 add-on component, however the supporting camera port is deceiving due to the fact that the V1 is only single-channel. That is a pretty great bargain.

The Rexing V1 mounts flush to the windscreen, and the camera component rotates vertically to match the horizon. You could think about making use of a level when mounting the unit, so you do not end up with straight skew in your video. The placing did seem to affect the video somewhat– more on that later.

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

Performance: Super stable captures.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the V1’s day video clip. There is, nonetheless, some reflection from the dashboard. With the camera slanted further upward, this impact lowered yet did not vanish.

The night video produced by the Sony Exmor sensing unit was excellent, specifically in low-light conditions. Front lights flare was a little bit much more distracting than we’ve seen from some other dash cams recently, however definitely far better than with the entry-level cameras of a number of years back. Once more, either the wide-angle lens itself, or its distance from the windshield, made the V1’s pictures extra susceptible to distortion as a result of indoor wetness or moisture outside, which we run into frequently in unclear San Francisco.

The V1’s evening captures are good. Its Exmor sensing unit takes care of reduced light scenarios well. A few of the distortion, but not all of it, is San Francisco haze.

Verdict.

The Rexing V1 is a proficient camera, however also sparsely included to amass anything much better than ordinary marks in our review. The firm saw to it I recognized that it supplies something that can be limited with some dash cameras: technological support. It ought to be fairly good if my communications with the Connecticut firm are any kind of indication. While this is a solid product that takes good video clip for not a great deal of cash money, the firm’s V1LG is the better offer in general.

Rexing’s $100 V1 dash cam takes very good day video clip, decent evening video clip, and also is easy to set up as well as utilize. The V1 has a GPS port, as well as there’s a $30 add-on component, but the complementary camera port is deceiving because the V1 is just single-channel. The Rexing V1 installs flush to the windscreen, as well as the camera component turns vertically to match the perspective. The V1’s 170-degree, 1080p video quality is a mixed bag. There’s certainly nothing incorrect with the V1’s day video.
