Rosie Rexing And Mick

Rexing’s $100 V1 dash cam takes very good day video clip, respectable night video, and is simple to set up as well as utilize. We like it. Yet it’s simplistic: Adding GPS, which we recommend, costs an additional $30. If you have space in your budget, for $170 you might step up to Rexing’s dual-channel, dual-camera V1LG with integrated GPS, or most likely to our full listing of up on dash cam reviews for more choices.

Our Verdict.

The V1 looks cost-effective at $100 until you realize it’ll cost you another $30 to get the GPS every person must have. Incredibly constant daytime capture is the most effective attribute of this bare-bones design.

Style and functions: On the spare side.

The Rexing V1 is a little on the plus size. Not large enough to hinder anything if it’s installed in the proper location (behind the mirror is good), 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 lawsuits, specifically.

The dimension, however, enables a 2.4-inch screen, huge switches, and also enough air to moderate warm. There’s a single mini SD slot, however Rexing does not consist of a card with the standard $100 V1 version we assessed. Include $20 at checkout for a 32GB card.

Which brings us to a discussion of the various versions. The V1 has a GPS port, as well as there’s a $30 add-on module, yet the complementary camera port is deceiving because the V1 is just single-channel. The $130 V1P is dual-channel and actually features a rear camera, but again, include $30 for a GPS component. Possibly the very best deal of the bunch is the previously mentioned V1LG, which has integrated GPS, a rear camera, as well as a 16GB micro SD card in the box for $170. That is a respectable deal.

The Rexing V1 avoids driver-safety attributes such as lane departure or crash cautions. We don’t miss them. Yet it does have one attribute that’s brand-new to us: You can enter your license plate number for watermarking your video clips. There’s probably no legal advantage, as anybody could get in the info, yet if you utilize the camera with various lorries, this will certainly tell you which one you were in.

The evening video clip produced by the Sony Exmor sensing unit was good, especially in low-light problems. Headlight flare was a tad more distracting than we’ve seen from a few other dash cams recently, however certainly much better than with the entry-level cameras of a couple of years back. Once more, either the wide-angle lens itself, or its distance from the windscreen, made the V1’s images a lot more susceptible to distortion due to indoor dampness or dampness outside, which we encounter often in unclear San Francisco.

The V1’s evening captures are excellent. Its Exmor sensing unit deals with low light circumstances well. Some of the distortion, yet not all of it, is San Francisco haze.

Conclusion.

The Rexing V1 is a qualified camera, however too sparsely featured to amass anything far better than average marks in our review. The company made sure I recognized that it supplies something that can be in short supply with some dash cameras: technological support. If my interactions with the Connecticut business are any type of sign, it ought to be quite good. While this is a strong product that takes good video clip for not a great deal of money, the firm’s V1LG is the better deal in general.
