Videos are recorded in full HD (1080p) resolution. The Rexing S300 Dash Cam Pro is programmed to start recording as soon as you start the ignition. does not happen even after the car DVR has recorded for several hours at a stretch. The presence of the infrared filter lens ensures that fogging etc. Thus, the smallness of the sensor is somewhat compensated by the wide aperture of the lens that sits in front of it. The fast wide f/2 six-glass lens captures a lot of light even in darker conditions. A dangerous driver making a sharp U-turn, or a car merging at slower than normal speed thereby putting faster moving vehicles at risk, or a vehicle that cuts in front by breaking a lane, nothing slips by the all-seeing lens of the S300.
A wider viewing angle ensures that nothing is missed. Mount two of these, one at the front and one at the back and you have an unhindered view of the front and back of your vehicle. You may have to rewind the video after changing the resolution.With an ultra-wide viewing angle of 170 degrees, the lens of the Rexing S300 gives almost a complete picture of the road ahead.

The camera is easy enough to use without consulting the 47-page user manual, but should you have any issues, you are likely to find a solution in the manual’s Troubleshooting section. However, video quality is not the best you can get at this price. Overall, this is a decent camera, with a very discreet form factor and great usability. If someone hits your car while the engine is off, the V1 will come alive and record a video clip to hopefully catch the perpetrator. If you get an extra hard-wiring kit (not included), the Rexing V1 also supports a simple impact-triggered parking mode. It also has a button to turn the display on and off, which is a nice feature that we haven’t seen in other dash cams so far (although most do turn off the display automatically after a set amount of time). After installation, the vertical inclination of the lens can then be adjusted by turning a rotating knob on the side of the camera.įeature-wise, all the dash cam basics are there, such as auto on/off, loop recording, date/time stamp, and G-sensor. It is quite easy to remove the camera from the bracket by simply sliding it back. Take care when you install the unit to leave about an inch of space for this purpose. It sticks directly to the windshield via a very small adhesive bracket (in our product image above, this is the near-rectangular plastic piece just above the lens). For a good low-cost two-way dash cam, check out the Crosstour CR900.ĭue to its wedge shape, the Rexing V1 is one of the stealthiest dashboard cameras available. We recommend at least 720p resolution for a rear camera, as VGA resolution is not sufficient to read any license plates. Note that the rear camera only supports 640x480 (VGA) resolution though. UPDATE: A dual channel version of this camera is now available, named Rexing V1P. The rear camera doesn’t appear to have been released yet though - we’ll update this review when it is. Note that the Rexing V1 comes with ports for an optional rear camera and for an external GPS unit. An external GPS unit is available separately. At night, video quality is average to fair, depending a lot on lighting conditions - on a dark road in the countryside, you probably won’t see very much, while visibility is decent in brightly lit areas. Be aware though that license plates are a bit hard to make out when driving by. Colors are vivid, making for an attractive video. Being a wedge-shaped dash cam that sticks directly to your windshield with the upper side of its casing, it doesn’t need a mount, thus allowing for a more discreet installation.
The Rexing V1 Basic is a Chinese camera that was released several years ago. – Loop recording, auto on/off, G-Sensor, motion detection – Supports up to 256GB class 10 SDHC cards (over 42 hours) – Price: Amazon US / CA / UK – eBay US / AU – more countries & vendors (affiliate links)
