Performance: Super consistent captures.

The V1’s 170-degree, 1080p video quality is a mixed bag. It is exceptionally secure and sharp , if not quite as color-rich as what we’ve seen on other like-priced dash cams. We noticed occasional, light artefacts when ambient light problems changed.

There’s absolutely absolutely nothing wrong with the V1’s day video clip. There is, nevertheless, some representation from the control panel. With the camera tilted farther upwards, this result lowered yet did not go away.

The night video clip produced by the Sony Exmor sensor was excellent, specifically in low-light problems. Front lights flare was a bit extra disruptive than we’ve seen from a few other dash cams recently, but absolutely far better than with the entry-level cameras of a couple of years ago.

Verdict.

The Rexing V1 is a competent camera, but also sparsely featured to gather anything far better than ordinary marks in our testimonial.

While this is a solid product that takes good video clip for not a lot of cash money, the business’s V1LG is the better offer generally.
