Rexing Mirrored Image

Rexing’s $100 V1 dash cam takes excellent day video clip, respectable night video clip, and is simple to establish and utilize. We like it. Yet it’s bare-bones: Adding GPS, which we recommend, sets you back an extra $30. If you have room in your spending plan, for $170 you could step up to Rexing’s dual-channel, dual-camera V1LG with integrated GPS, or go to our complete listing of up on dash cam examines for more options.

Our Verdict.

The V1 looks inexpensive at $100 up until you recognize it’ll cost you another $30 to obtain the GPS everybody should have. Remarkably constant daytime capture is the most effective attribute of this bare-bones version.

Layout and functions: On the extra side.

The Rexing V1 is a little on the plus size. Not large enough to hinder anything if it’s placed in the appropriate place (behind the mirror is excellent), yet if you’re looking for tiny– this isn’t it.

We believe GPS, a $30 add-on for the base version V1, is constantly a good idea. Especially if the concept is to win your litigation.

The size, however, enables a 2.4-inch display screen, big buttons, as well as enough air to modest warmth. There’s a solitary micro SD port, but Rexing doesn’t include a card with the basic $100 V1 design we reviewed. 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 module, however the auxiliary camera port is deceiving because the V1 is just single-channel. The $130 V1P is dual-channel as well as actually includes a back camera, yet once again, include $30 for a GPS module. Possibly the very best deal of the lot is the formerly stated V1LG, which has actually integrated GPS, a rear camera, and a 16GB mini SD card in the box for $170. That is a pretty good offer.

The Rexing V1 mounts flush to the windscreen, and also the camera aspect revolves vertically to match the perspective. You may think about using a level when placing the unit, so you don’t wind up with horizontal alter in your video clip. The mounting did seem to impact the video somewhat– extra on that later on.

The Rexing V1 avoids driver-safety attributes such as lane departure or accident warnings. We don’t miss them. It does have one feature that’s brand-new to us: You can enter your certificate plate number for watermarking your video clips. There’s probably no lawful advantage, as any person might enter the info, yet if you utilize the camera with various lorries, this will tell you which one you were in.

Efficiency: Super steady captures.

The V1’s 170-degree, 1080p video quality is a variety. It is sharp and exceptionally steady , otherwise quite as color-rich as what we’ve seen on various other like-priced dash cams. Yet we discovered periodic, mild artefacts when ambient light problems changed. Either due to the range in between the lens as well as the windscreen , or the rather broad watching angle, the camera additionally recorded an unusually big amount of control panel reflection.

There’s absolutely nothing incorrect with the V1’s day video. There is, nonetheless, some reflection from the dashboard. With the camera slanted farther upward, this effect reduced yet did not go away.

The evening video clip generated by the Sony Exmor sensing unit was great, especially in low-light conditions. Headlight flare was a bit extra 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 back. Once more, either the wide-angle lens itself, or its distance from the windscreen, made the V1’s images extra prone to distortion due to indoor wetness or dampness on the outside, which we encounter frequently in clouded San Francisco.

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

Final thought.

The Rexing V1 is a experienced camera, yet also sparsely featured to gather anything much better than average marks in our review. While this is a solid item that takes excellent video for not a great deal of cash, the firm’s V1LG is the much far better bargain on the whole.

Rexing’s $100 V1 dash cam takes really good day video clip, good night video, and also is simple to set up as well as use. The V1 has a GPS port, as well as there’s a $30 add-on module, however the complementary camera port is tricking because the V1 is only single-channel. The Rexing V1 mounts flush to the windshield, and also the camera aspect revolves up and down to match the horizon. The V1’s 170-degree, 1080p video high quality is a mixed bag. There’s certainly nothing wrong with the V1’s day video clip.
