Budget friendly.
Good daytime and appropriate nighttime captures.

Does not include Micro SD card.
GPS is a $30 add-on.

Our Verdict.

The V1 looks inexpensive at $100 till you understand it’ll cost you another $30 to get the GPS everybody need to have. Remarkably consistent daytime capture is the very best function of this simplistic version.

Style and functions: On the spare side.

The Rexing V1 is a little on the large size. Not large enough to hinder anything if it’s installed in the right location (behind the mirror is good), but if you’re trying to find tiny– this isn’t it.

We believe GPS, a $30 add-on for the base model V1, is always a great suggestion. Particularly if the suggestion is to win your lawsuits.

The dimension, nevertheless, enables a 2.4-inch screen, big buttons, and sufficient air to moderate warm. There’s a solitary mini SD slot, but Rexing doesn’t include a card with the standard $100 V1 design we examined. Include $20 at check out for a 32GB card.

Which brings us to a discussion of the various models. The V1 has a GPS port, as well as there’s a $30 add-on module, but the auxiliary camera port is tricking because the V1 is just single-channel. The $130 V1P is dual-channel and also really includes a back camera, but once more, include $30 for a GPS module. Probably the best deal of the lot is the previously mentioned V1LG, which has incorporated GPS, a back camera, and also a 16GB micro SD card in the box for $170. That is a pretty good bargain.

The Rexing V1 places flush to the windshield, and the camera component turns vertically to match the horizon.

The Rexing DashCam V1 places flush with the windscreen, though a $6 suction place is likewise available. As long as you’re mindful straightening the device flat when you mount it, the adhesive is probably your much better alternative.

The Rexing V1 skips driver-safety attributes such as lane separation or collision cautions. We don’t miss them. Yet it does have one function that’s new to us: You can enter your certificate plate number for watermarking your video clips. There’s most likely no lawful advantage, as any person could get in the info, but if you utilize the camera with various cars, this will certainly tell you which one you were in.

Efficiency: Super consistent captures.

The V1’s 170-degree, 1080p video clip quality is a mixed bag. It is incredibly stable and also sharp , if not rather as color-rich as what we’ve seen on various other like-priced dash cams.

There’s absolutely absolutely nothing incorrect with the V1’s day video clip. There is, however, some representation from the control panel. With the camera tilted farther up, this impact lowered however did not disappear.

The evening video produced by the Sony Exmor sensing unit was good, especially in low-light conditions. Front lights flare was a bit much more distracting than we’ve seen from some other dash cams just recently, however definitely much better than with the entry-level cameras of a number of years earlier. Once again, either the wide-angle lens itself, or its range from the windshield, made the V1’s images extra prone to distortion because of indoor moisture or dampness outside, which we experience often in clouded San Francisco.

The V1’s night captures are excellent. Its Exmor sensor handles reduced light scenarios well. Some of the distortion, yet not all of it, is San Francisco haze.

Verdict.

The Rexing V1 is a competent camera, yet too sparsely included to amass anything better than ordinary marks in our review. The firm made certain I recognized that it offers something that can be limited with some dash cameras: technical assistance. It needs to be quite excellent if my interactions with the Connecticut company are any type of indication. While this is a strong item that takes good video clip for not a great deal of cash money, the business’s V1LG is the better bargain on the whole.

Rexing’s $100 V1 dash cam takes very excellent day video, decent evening video, and also is easy to establish up and make use of. The V1 has a GPS port, as well as there’s a $30 add-on component, yet the supporting camera port is tricking due to the fact that the V1 is just single-channel. The Rexing V1 places flush to the windshield, and also the camera aspect revolves vertically to match the horizon. The V1’s 170-degree, 1080p video clip top quality is a blended bag. There’s absolutely absolutely nothing wrong with the V1’s day video clip.
