Our Verdict.

The V1 looks low-cost at $100 till you realize it’ll cost you one more $30 to obtain the GPS everybody ought to have. Incredibly consistent daytime capture is the best feature of this bare-bones design.

Layout and attributes: On the extra side.

The Rexing V1 is a little on the large size. Not large sufficient to hinder anything if it’s installed in the correct area (behind the mirror is good), but if you’re searching for small– this isn’t it.

We assume GPS, a $30 add-on for the base design V1, is always a great concept. If the suggestion is to win your lawsuits, especially.

The size, nonetheless, permits a 2.4-inch display, huge switches, as well as sufficient air to modest heat. There’s a solitary micro SD port, but Rexing does not consist of a card with the basic $100 V1 design we reviewed. Add $20 at check out for a 32GB card.

Which brings us to a conversation of the different designs. The V1 has a GPS port, as well as there’s a $30 add-on module, however the supporting camera port is tricking because the V1 is just single-channel. The $130 V1P is dual-channel as well as really features a back camera, but once more, include $30 for a GPS module. Most likely the very best deal of the bunch is the previously pointed out V1LG, which has actually incorporated GPS, a back camera, and a 16GB mini SD card in the box for $170. That is a pretty good deal.

The V1’s 170-degree, 1080p video clip top quality is a mixed bag. It is incredibly steady as well as sharp , otherwise quite as color-rich as what we’ve seen on other like-priced dash cams. We noticed periodic, light artefacts when ambient light conditions changed. Either because of the distance between the windscreen and also the lens , or the rather broad seeing angle, the camera additionally captured an uncommonly huge quantity of control panel representation.

There’s definitely absolutely nothing wrong with the V1’s day video. There is, nevertheless, some representation from the control panel. With the camera slanted farther upwards, this effect reduced however did not disappear.

The evening video created by the Sony Exmor sensing unit was excellent, especially in low-light problems. Front lights flare was a little bit a lot more distracting than we’ve seen from a few other dash cams just recently, however absolutely 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 pictures a lot more susceptible to distortion due to interior dampness or wetness on the outside, which we run into often in foggy San Francisco.

The V1’s evening captures are good. Its Exmor sensor handles low light situations well. Several of the distortion, yet not all of it, is San Francisco haze.

Verdict.

The Rexing V1 is a qualified camera, however also sparsely included to garner anything better than average marks in our testimonial. The company made sure I comprehended that it offers something that can be limited with some dash cameras: technical support. It must be quite great if my communications with the Connecticut firm are any type of indicator. While this is a strong item that takes good video for not a great deal of cash, the business’s V1LG is the far better bargain generally.

Rexing’s $100 V1 dash cam takes extremely great day video clip, good evening video, as well as is easy to set up as well as utilize. The V1 has a GPS port, as well as there’s a $30 add-on module, yet the complementary camera port is deceiving since the V1 is just single-channel.
