Our Verdict.

The V1 looks economical at $100 till you understand it’ll cost you an additional $30 to get the GPS everybody ought to have. Remarkably consistent daytime capture is the best feature of this simplistic model.

Style and also features: On the spare side.

The Rexing V1 is a little on the plus size. Not large sufficient to interfere with anything if it’s installed in the appropriate area (behind the mirror is excellent), however if you’re trying to find tiny– this isn’t it.

We think GPS, a $30 add-on for the base design V1, is always a excellent idea. Specifically if the suggestion is to win your litigation.

The dimension, nonetheless, permits a 2.4-inch display, big switches, as well as sufficient air to modest heat. There’s a solitary mini SD slot, yet Rexing does not consist of a card with the fundamental $100 V1 design we evaluated. Add $20 at checkout for a 32GB card.

The V1 has a GPS port, as well as there’s a $30 add-on module, but the supporting camera port is tricking since the V1 is just single-channel. That is a quite excellent offer.

We’ve discussed GPS fairly a bit. Having GPS info on your video clip could be the distinction between winning as well as shedding your case, or lawsuit.

The Rexing V1 places flush to the windscreen, and also the camera component turns vertically to match the horizon. You could think about making use of a level when mounting the system, so you do not wind up with horizontal alter in your video. The placing did seem to impact the video somewhat– extra on that particular later on.

The V1 mounts with sticky, but the glue and the mount are different. Note that cooling down the double-sided adhesive tape (in the refrigerator if necessary) makes it a lot easier to remove the protective film.

The Rexing V1 avoids driver-safety attributes such as lane departure or collision warnings. We do not miss them. But it does have one attribute that’s brand-new to us: You can enter your certificate plate number for watermarking your videos. There’s possibly no lawful advantage, as anyone can get in the details, however if you utilize the camera with different lorries, this will certainly tell you which one you remained in.

Efficiency: Super consistent captures.

The V1’s 170-degree, 1080p video high quality is a variety. It is incredibly steady and sharp , otherwise rather as color-rich as what we’ve seen on other like-priced dash cams. But we noticed periodic, moderate artefacts when ambient light problems shifted. Either because of the range between the lens and also the windscreen , or the rather broad watching angle, the camera likewise caught an unusually huge quantity of dashboard representation.

There’s definitely nothing wrong with the V1’s day video. There is, nonetheless, some representation from the control panel. With the camera tilted further upwards, this impact reduced but did not go away.

The night video produced by the Sony Exmor sensing unit was great, specifically in low-light problems. Headlight flare was a bit a lot more distracting than we’ve seen from a few other dash cams lately, yet 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 range from the windshield, made the V1’s images a lot more prone to distortion due to indoor wetness or moisture on the outside, which we run into frequently in foggy San Francisco.

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

Final thought.

The Rexing V1 is a proficient camera, yet also sparsely included to amass anything far better than ordinary marks in our review. The business made sure I comprehended that it gives something that can be limited with some dash cameras: technical support. If my communications with the Connecticut business are any kind of sign, it needs to be rather great. While this is a solid product that takes excellent video for not a lot of cash money, the company’s V1LG is the better deal overall.

Rexing’s $100 V1 dash cam takes really great day video, good evening video clip, and also is simple to set up and make use of. The V1 has a GPS port, and also there’s a $30 add-on module, however the supporting camera port is tricking due to the fact that the V1 is only single-channel. The Rexing V1 places flush to the windscreen, as well as the camera component revolves vertically to match the horizon. The V1’s 170-degree, 1080p video quality is a mixed bag. There’s certainly nothing wrong with the V1’s day video.
