ive been researching cams for weeks and this is the best review out there. for 150$ and your review. im picking this up tomorrow. thank you for the well informed video.
its been solid. got a kit to hook it up to my fuse panel in my 2014 focus and it picks everything up. neighbor hit my car and denied it and the cam picked it up. quality is good enough for driving around and shit - if you keep it at the max settings, its enough to get plates if need be. great bang for your buck, shits still going strong.
Excellent presentation! It's clear, concise, and comprehensive. You organize your thoughts well. And you also did well with the sample clips. Thanks for making the video!
I got to be installed with hardwire kit. Good information and easier to understand than reading manual. With the aggressive drivers and road rage may be a life saver in court if I need to defend myself.
Thank you for the video. Clear, concise, and to the point without a bunch of monologuing. Weird to release a new camera with 4k capabilities, and put a USB plug on it that's WAY out of date. Stuff made today should have USB-C, but micro USB is also acceptable. Mini-USB is oldskool.
i think the reasoning is that theres so many other devices for the car that uses a MINI-USB plug so it makes sense to make it mini so the user can reuse cables or have a potential replacement on hand.
@@nevadaxelizabeth I guess I don't know what devices those are, because my last couple dash cams have all been micro USB. If I were to buy this, I'd have to rewire the hardwire I ran years ago that I rewired because I upgraded from a camera with mini USB. Mini is disappearing, but I'd imagine somewhere out there I could find a micro to mini adapter.
@@dirtfpvwell maybe is because my car is a mid 2000s JDM but all the accessories that came with it, the Phone charger, the original dashcam, the rear light, all were MINI. so i end with a bunch of mini cables.
This is the best video on this camera, but you should have put 4K Max in your Title as I have been looking for a video on this model but I did not stop at this one because it only says V1P 4K, not the Max but anyway I have found it now and you have covered a lot of things that nobody else covered. Thanks.
This is a pretty good cam. I've been using one for years. And the GPS logger works pretty good too. Unfortunately, the GPS Logger software from Rexing does not work correctly on Windows and MAC machines. This has been reported for over four years, and Rexing has not fixed it. If you just want a decent dash cam that will play on MP4 players, this cam will work.
Great job, Thank you. I find the SW buggy also, it doesn't always display the map in playback. I have the hardwire kit but have not installed it yet. You didn't mention if the V1P max has the ability to do a 20 sec video from battery, if the car is hit while parked. At least one other video suggested that this is the case. The overall manual is poor. Thanks Again
I purchased a V1P Max, based on this excellent video. I am pretty annoyed with Rexing however, as It is not made clear at all that the unit itself cannot be plugged in directly to a PC to download/ view files etc. Despite them including a USB cord for this purpose and the quick guide showing it can be ! Contacted Rexing who say no it cannot be so tough luck! The only options are to use the App ( which sucks) or remove the SD card which would require buying an additional USB / Micros SD card reader for my PC. very deceptive of Rexing. I will be returning due to this & the terrible customer support shown by Rexing.
Question ⁉️ how does this dashcam help if someone is robbing you or stealing your auto if camera is only looking forward or in the rear? The news media is spotlighting this camera for door dashers getting robbed. This Dasham doesn't appear to look inside the car at all for these reasons. Appears to be only for accidents?
I'm about to buy this on Best Buy and thank you for your review!!! Quick question, will it record automatically if someone bumps my car and it's NOT hardwired? Thanks!
Great video and review first off. I’m considering this and a farming 66w that a few people recommended. Forgive the question but is there interference between WiFi let’s say since it’s required to their log in to use and one’s car WiFi and Apple car play service perhaps?
How do you record a long video. Like a drive that took an hour. Do you have to put all the three minute clips together or is there a different setting? If so, will it fill the card and then start overwriting? Thanks.
Excellent review; loved it. Camera is good too. Just wondering if there was a way to change the default FONT they use for the on-screen date/time/GPS Coordinates. Rexing uses a very generic font compared to very professional looking used by GARMIN.
Are there cameras that are sensors? Say your car is parked and someone walks up to it, a camera that would start recording it. Not just when it gets hit by a car while parked
Also, if the camera needs to be on same wifi as your phone to use the app, how can you use the app on the phone if you are out driving? Usually not on wifi while you driving.
You have that backwards, it's the phone that has to be on the same network as the camera (the network that the camera broadcasts) in order for wifi to work.
So with the good sd card I can record a whole 10 or 11 hour work shift without stopping? And if so how many work shifts can I store before it starts to slow it down? I'd Appreciate any input on that. Thank you in advance
i just bought this camera i love how it records but the app for the phone really sucks..... very slow to the point that i gave up trying to mess with it.... any advice?
Hi there I like your video I was about to buy the Rexing V5 and as soon as I found out about the Rexing V1 so I don't know which one can you do a review on both of them Rexing V1 Vs Rexing V5 Please Thank You
Quick question, when you start recording manually, does it start from a few seconds earlier then when you pressed the button? Or say a crash happened and you press the button after the crash, does the video start from a few seconds before you pressed the button so that you can see before the crash happened?
Hi if possible please upload the video how to update this v1p max newer model,updates are available on rexing website but with complicated instructions.
Linus Tech Tips did a major evaluation on dash cams earlier this year, covering cameras from many different manufacturers across all price tiers, down to disassembly and inspecting the actual circuitry. In summary, Linus concluded that the technology is an utter disappointment. Regardless of price, virtually all of the cameras from all the tested manufacturers all used the exact same image sensor. This means that image quality is essentially equal regardless if you spend $50 or $500. These cameras should have evolved by now to be on par with at least 5yr old GoPro cameras. But they haven't.
How good is this camera for license plate capture? I have had four hit and run accidents in 2 years. I'm looking for something that I can easily get the license plate without chasing them down.
Wait, did you move out from wherever you were or are you not home at the time of recording? My dude you literally either doxxed yourself or doxxed some other poor fool 🤣
Thankfully I haven't NEEDED it yet, however there is a slight delay from the hit and the recording so there is a chance you might not catch a would be hit&run. I think I'm gonna test that and make a video...
My mom had a rexing camera. It was horrible. Someone rear ended my moms car and ran away, but the dash am for some reason wasn’t recording. Overall, horrible
ive been researching cams for weeks and this is the best review out there. for 150$ and your review. im picking this up tomorrow. thank you for the well informed video.
Thanks for watching!

How has it worked for u thus far

The fact this camera offers 60fps is great. Finding so many other cameras that lock it at 30fps at all resolutions.
One of the better instructional videos on Y/T
Thank you!
Just thinking the same thing got work bro

very good info
That's all in my video description 👍
This video answered a lot of my questions and helped me to decide on which camera to buy. Thank you for the video.
I have front windshield tint .. would that affect the quality of the video in a way?
Can you set it up so when you park it auto goes into parking mode and time laps or is that something you have to do every time you park?
I have older version 1080p for so many years and it's great dashcam. Glued to windshield looks like factory instaled.
Very detailed review! I am very impressed with your information. I'm sold with this unit! Thanks for sharing!
You are the best I just got all the info I wanted for a dash cam I definitely recommend you to friend and family
Do you need a hotspot box in your vehicle to see the camera live while far from the vehicle?
Anyone can help me with this question?
This is a pretty good cam. I've been using one for years. And the GPS logger works pretty good too.

Best review. Can’t thank you enough x
I just installed that cam today 11 14 21 I tested and is so cool I like the video quality super cool I love it
yeeeesss this is the best dashcam that i found with you. thanks !

Question can you only wifi connect to the camera when it's on?
very well done my friend. great pace - very efficient. two thumbs up.

was that a 707 coming in to land at 10:54? lol
Excellent review, thanks you !
If you had to pick 1for front and rear setup from the V1P MAX and the V5 which one would you select?
V5 if you do ridesharing or need coverage inside of vehicle. V1P is well suited for exterior coverages for the price.

Thanks for this detailed review. Info you provided convinced me to choose this. May i ask how long is the wire/cable going to the rear? THANKS Again

great video, covered everything I was looking for
Glad it was helpful!
very helpful video thank you for doing this
How can we watch the videos recorded without being in our cars with the wifi on for the dash cam
Great video thank you
How long does it record when the car turns off? Does the rear camera record when the car is off as well?
Excellent review; loved it. Camera is good too. Just wondering if there was a way to change the default FONT they use for the on-screen date/time/GPS Coordinates. Rexing uses a very generic font compared to very professional looking used by GARMIN.
Excellent review
Are there cameras that are sensors? Say your car is parked and someone walks up to it, a camera that would start recording it. Not just when it gets hit by a car while parked
Why do the instruction show installing it to the right of the rear view mirror? A little hard to operate from the drivers seat.....
Helpful, thanks
Very, very thorough review. Thank you.
Also, if the camera needs to be on same wifi as your phone to use the app, how can you use the app on the phone if you are out driving? Usually not on wifi while you driving.
You have that backwards, it's the phone that has to be on the same network as the camera (the network that the camera broadcasts) in order for wifi to work.
what version do you have? I really like that retro beep sound.
Hi, do you need a GPS antenna to make the GPS logger work or is it built in. Thanks.
It can only record 3 minutes at a time before interrupting the recording to save and start a new file? Screw that.
I still feel the old Yi dash cam still records very good quality video as compared to this.. you can find that on my channel
I got the camera but the screen won't sleep. I set it up to 1min but the screen stays on. Any ideas?
Can it work when the car is off to prevent theft? My catalytic converter was stolen 🥴
So with the good sd card I can record a whole 10 or 11 hour work shift without stopping? And if so how many work shifts can I store before it starts to slow it down?
I'd Appreciate any input on that. Thank you in advance
Does it work while the car is powered off through the night? Had my car broken into before, also neighbors suck at parking
how do we save the video when we have crashed to someone and save it immediately
It will still record when car is off but plugged in no? My old one did. I watched footage next morning from throughout the night
Is there a way to connect to the dash cam when your far away on vacation
Any suggestions on how to improve the rear camera Night recording? Like you, I found it to be not very good at all.
would u recommend this one or the v5 model
Hi
Can I see the CPU chip set and number?
Is it 2160p 30fps?
What is the image sensor number front and rear?
Hello, so can you view the camera LIVE from your phone, let’s say if I am working, and I want to watch my camera live, would I be able to?
The camera can gps track but is there a monthly cost for that feature??
Can the rear camera double as a backup camera? Also can the rear camera be mounted inside the car facing the back glass?
So it won’t record if you’re hit while you’re parked and out of the car?
i just bought this camera i love how it records but the app for the phone really sucks..... very slow to the point that i gave up trying to mess with it.... any advice?
Great review, but does it also show the rear view? I am being followed to work daily by the city police and want to record them following me.
Buy the model with the rear camera as well, there job done for you.
Hi there I like your video I was about to buy the Rexing V5 and as soon as I found out about the Rexing V1 so I don't know which one can you do a review on both of them Rexing V1 Vs Rexing V5 Please Thank You
Unfortunately the rexing app is not that great and trying to open up or log on to with wifi through the camera is a constant ( can't connect to wifi)
Quick question, when you start recording manually, does it start from a few seconds earlier then when you pressed the button? Or say a crash happened and you press the button after the crash, does the video start from a few seconds before you pressed the button so that you can see before the crash happened?
Does hanging the WiFi thing hooked up work still if you minimize the app for google car play?
My camera is stuck on a black screen when trying to live View.. any help?
Do we have to buy two cameras to record both angles?
The rear facing camera is a separate camera that gets installed on the the back windshield.
how good the camera quality capturing license plates at night time?
He deletes real reviews, I can’t use words to explain this product not to be autodeleted, so you have to guess
Does it record if the car is off my car has been getting vandalized while I’m away from it
Hi if possible please upload the video how to update this v1p max newer model,updates are available on rexing website but with complicated instructions.

What’s the difference between this and the Rexing V1P Pro Plus ?
Great vid! +1
how do we save the video
How good is this camera for license plate capture? I have had four hit and run accidents in 2 years. I'm looking for something that I can easily get the license plate without chasing them down.
I'm wondering the same thing
Do you always need the cam to be plugged in? or does it hold charge for a couple of hours?
Dashcam stays plugged in. The capacitors are only good to keep the camera on long enough to finish the current recording and turn off.
Wait, did you move out from wherever you were or are you not home at the time of recording? My dude you literally either doxxed yourself or doxxed some other poor fool 🤣
How is parking mode??
Thankfully I haven't NEEDED it yet, however there is a slight delay from the hit and the recording so there is a chance you might not catch a would be hit&run. I think I'm gonna test that and make a video...
Can you live your recording while you not in the car?
Can it detect side swipes?
Great job thank you
How often do you change memory card?
Alot good looking dash cams out there but all the apps to use them suck
I feel that, keep looking buddy, some are much better than others!

I wouldn't buy anything that's still using mini-usb. Makes me wonder what other outdated technology that they put inside that big ole clunky thing.
