REXING V1 - 4K Ultra HD Car Dash Cam 2.4" LCD Screen, Wi-Fi, 170° Wide Angle Dashboard Camera Recorder with G-Sensor, WDR, Loop Recording, Supercapacitor, Mobile App, 256GB Supported

This was very easy to install. It comes with an adapter that uses the cigarette lighter plug. But that would leave a wire hanging down from the windshield. I don't think the power wire is long enough to run around the edge of the windshield, unless you had a very small car with a very small windshield. Instead I spent the extra money on this: Dash Camera Vehicle Hard Wire Kit - Mini USB Compatible with G1w / G1w-C / G1WH / GT680W / Mini 0801 / Mobius Action Spy Tec Camera and More | Car DVR Camera Recorder Dashboard Dashcam | Black Box Video Recorder | and this: Pico 0956PT 10 Amp ATM Mini Blade Fuse Add-A-Circuit Fuse Holder The hardwire kit will work with this camera. The Add-A-Circuit should be vehicle dependent...so be sure you get the one that matches the fuses in your car. The one I posted here should work a lot of cars, but you should double check. It's much easier than just jamming the power wire into the fuse box like I used to do. Anyway, with those parts the install was easy. The camera itself seems to work great. I haven't had to go back and use the footage yet...but I've checked the card a few times and it's recording fine. BTW, as other reviews mention, get the 32GB card max. The settings out of the box are fine...I didn't change much. But the manual is actually very good (nice surprise) and it's easy to change anything you want. I had been thinking of getting this for a while, but never pulled the trigger. I was riding in a car the other day and it was struck by a guy driving recklessly. Fortunatley it wasn't my car, and I wasn't driving (and no one was hurt), but I remember thinking that if there was a dash cam installed, the issue of who was at fault would be much more simple. I pulled the trigger that night, got the camera in 2 days, and was up and running a couple hours after that. Worth it for the peace of mind. **Update 4-18-16** I've been periodically checking the SD card and the recordings are sporadic. It will record for 5 min, then it stops and doesn't start a new recording. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Also, the other day I saw someone driving crazy on the highway, I hit the red button to save the file, but when I got home, it wasn't saved. So, it only records sometimes...which is definitely NOT OK for something like this. The point is to have a recording when you need it. With this unit I have no confidence that it's recording. Maybe my unit went bad? At this point I would not buy again. **Update 7/9/17** I kept this unit going until I sold the car recently. Here is what I found over the past year. The type of SD card you use seems to matter. I don't recall what SD card I was using initially, but something about it was not compatible with the unit. I cheaper card seemed to work much better. The biggest issue is that cold temps prevented my unit from working. The unit won't turn on until the temp inside the car is warm enough. I don't know what the unit has inside for power (battery), but whatever it is, doesn't seem to work when it's cold. So the first 15-20 min of each drive is not captured until the unit warms up...in the winter only. Aside from that, it seemed to work OK. I'd still keep my 2 star rating. In my new vehicle, I'll look around a bit before installing this again. **Update 1/21/2020** Rexing has been contacting me about some of the negative issues I had with my unit and sent me a new unit to replace my old one. This unit is an updated version and seems to work better than my original unit did. No problems with the recordings or power like I had before. It's a good unit and I'd recommend it for sure. Form factor is the same as the previous version, which is good. Some units look big and clunky, like a go pro stuck on your dash. This fits nicely behind your rear view mirror and is not visible at all. Good unit.

I recently watched a friend go through the torture of having some spineless piece of trash sue him for the "pain and suffering" endured from my buddy "hitting" him. In actuality, it was one of those worthless insurance scammers that sped by him, swerved over into his lane, and immediately slammed on his brakes causing my buddy to rear end him before he could react and hit the brakes. They weren't going that fast and there wasn't even that much damage, but of course said spineless piece of crap suffered "neck issues" and "emotional distress and trauma" and took a bunch of my buddies money. After seeing this happen, I decided an investment in a dash cam was one of the smartest investments someone could make and started my search. After a lot of reading I settled on this one and boy am I glad I did! I bought a 32gb card to go with it and on it's highest quality setting of 1080 there is 5.5 hours of recording time from 32gb. More than enough! It's super easy to install and mount and updating it online is a snap. I've taken the card out a few times and watched the video and can say that the quality in the daytime is truly excellent. More than enough to read license plates, even at a distance. I also love that you can push a button and turn the screen off so you don't have even more lights shining in your face at night. There are two issues with this camera though: 1: The main issue is the nighttime performance leaves a lot to be desired. The quality is more than good enough to see cars and you could definitely tell it wasn't your fault if someone did to you what that guy did to my buddy, but it's very hard to read licenses plates. The glare from the tail lights and headlights just is a bit too much for this camera and most license plates are drowned out unless you are very close to the car. 2: A very minor issue that **cough cough hint hint* I hope the manufacturer will fix in the future with a software update, is the camera does not remember if the screen was off or on when last it was turned off. Not a huge deal, but since I always want the screen off, it would be nice if it would remember it was off when I last turned off the ignition so I wouldn't have to reach up and hit the little button to turn the screen off when I start up again. Again, not a huge deal, but it would be a nice change for Rexing too make. Overall, I have been extremely happy with this dash cam and feel it's well worth it's 100 dollar price. However, if the only thing you take from this review is the need for at least SOME kind of dash cam, I highly recommend you listen to that because I promise you that few things will make you angrier than some slime bucket who can't hold down a job who makes you "hit" him and then takes a bunch of your hard earned money. And if you decide that this is the one you want, I promise you that you won't be disappointed!

Good buy. Love it

This is my first Dash Cam and found it easy to install although would have liked some basic instructions on how to install. So far, my first impression of this product has been great. Video Quality is also great although it just upscales from a 2K+ resolution to 4K.

The camera so far works well and it was easy to install and set it up. I find useful the WiFi because there's no need to remove the micro sd or the camera to watch and save the videos on another device. In night vision, with the city lighting, the number plates are clearly visible from around 5 - 10 metres from the camera. The mount is perfect: no risks of vibrations of the camera, easy and fast to detach the camera from the mount in case you don't want to leave it visible when the car is left locked at night, to avoid thieves breaking the car window to steal it. Since I didn't know that there are specific kinds of micro sd for dashcams, I found useful, in the description of the camera, the suggestion by the producer about the micro SDs that perform the best with this dashcam, in relation to its resolution, to have recordings as much qualitative and fluid as possible

Arrived quickly. Good quality can make out license plates well.

Overall, I love this dash-cam. I notice high quality video and picture in both day and night times for this model. Conversation records is clear when record with the microphone feature and if something happens in the car everything is recorded. Must have for all vehicles. Great for all occasion and emergency recording. This camera is able to record only front direction in choice of 720p and 1080p. Picture quality is impeccable. Crystal clear and the frames run smooth in both day and night time. Voice record is clear. I am able to hear passengers from the rear seats with radio on. A fantastic product. Saved me from a civil suit last week when some **** ran a redlight and tried to blame it on me. The V1 dashcam functioned as advertised and I am physically fine and mentally stress free. Saving and downloading a video clip is very easy. One night I was coming home from a night out, when someone ran a red light in front of me. I pressed the big button on the dashcam, got home, and in less than a half an hour from the incident (including the remaining drive home!) I had the video clip copied onto my computer, edited (using QuickTime Player, which came with my computer; the video here is the edited clip), and uploaded to Facebook with praise for how useful and easy to use the dashcam was. I highly recommend this product I will give 6⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
