okay so today we're gonna do a review and a demonstration of this Rexing
dashcam v1 Full HD 1080p 30 frames per second these are the things that it
offers here around the side of the box 2.4 inch LCD screen and so on we're
gonna talk about all these functions I'm going to show you how it works this is
what comes in the box you get the camera unit you get the power adapter that
plugs into your cigarette lighter there you can also connect it with a USB which
is also included they give you a tool so if you ever need to remove those
adhesives you can get that off of your windshield if you place it wrong you get
two of these attachment pieces with the 3m adhesive here so you can put one in
two different cars and then just pulling it out and install it in whichever car
you happen to be driving these things are a lot of fun and it collects data
and it's more valuable than you might think
also when you're going to route the cables that run from it they have these
little sticky Clips here you can run two cables together to do that so if you
have a GPS and this unit you can run those along you don't have to tuck it
into your molding of the car and get into all that mess there you can just
have it follow the dash this is again the power adapter that goes with it the USB
part not the SB the power part plugs into the side of it and the other part
goes in your cigarette lighter that little top twist there also opens up a
USB connection this is the USB cable also included easy simple also I'm
showing this wipe I use these for my cameras but you're going to want to
clean off your windshield on the inside with some kind of alcohol or something
that evaporates quick so that you can connect that clean now here on the left
side we're showing that's the USB port there not USB the micro SD card power
switch reset switch and then the menu button there to the right
and I'm using a SanDisk Ultra micro SD card and it's 64 gigabytes that's going to
give me 11 hours of recording time and that's more than enough for the driving
that I do you can put a larger card in it about 64 gigs gives you 11 hours and
it's on a loop also when you get it notice the camera has this little clear
piece of plastic on it and pull that off and then it's a nice
clear camera in fact this camera reminds me a little bit of the cameras that are
on the GoPros and things like that this is the screen this thing is
two-and-a-half inches wide that's the back that slides onto your
connector piece it's on the windshield and over here you see we have three
different plugins you can also have another camera there that's what the
whole is all the way to the left and that will show to the rear of your car
so you can have people being monitored as they come up behind you the screen is
pretty nice you have the option to turn it off that's that little button all the
way to the right there that has a screen to the hashmark through it now the
cameras on and of course it's videoing my palm but we're also going to show you
road views from it everything looks pretty good the date is off so don't pay
attention to that but this is what you see on the screen and if it's on of
course now this thing is running off its battery right now it does not have a
long battery life if it's not plugged into your vehicle and if your vehicle's
not running this thing will turn itself off and you decide what the interval is
too when it's going to turn off so it's fully programmable on your part the
other thing is this is the maximum legal size unit for my state so this is how
you adjust the camera it only has tilt adjustment it'd be nice maybe if they
had the adjustment where you could twist it left or right button right now it's
just up or down and it worked out really will really well for the car that we put
this in for this demonstration and of course that screen stays on depending on
your state you may not be allowed to have that monitor screen on on your
windshield so you might have to turn it off and again that is the pigtail
connector on the left there so you can run a camera to the rear not included
GPS you can connect that also the same company provides a GPS if you want to order
that extra and then the power cable which you must have so also I recommend
that you have one of these splitters I only have one cigarette lighter plug in
in my dash so I got this extra unit best tech it's called and these are top rated
gear I paid full price for these on Amazon and
put links in the video description so you can follow up on them and look at
them in yourself but these things have thousands of four and a half and five
star reviews so again and this best tech unit has a LED readout on the top and
that shows me what my battery voltage is kind of fun to know and read about 14 v
for voltage throughout this test it also has an on/off switch on the back the cable is
nice and heavy and there is an inline fuse there so the voltage is 7-way
socket adapter input voltage 12 volt to 24 volts 10 amp max there's a 10 amp
fuse built in output voltage also 12 to 24 that's collectively this is the plug
in cable nice and thick well main holds its place and then there's that ten amp
fuse they also include an extra fuse just in case that blows you don't wanna
be without power so all the way to the left is where you would plug in your
regular cigarette lighter if you still use those I don't and of course the two
openings on the right there are for your Rexing unit or any other thing that
you need to get power from while you're underway with your car this is the close
up of the unit's top left there you see the video camera that means we're doing
videos this has the option to do stills that flashing red dot means that it is
recording it automatically goes into record mode as soon as you plug it in
and your car turns on wide dynamic range notice that three there on the left with
the video camera in the loop around it that means it's shooting in three minute
segments it continually videos but it saves the files in three minute segments
you can find them later they're little plus and minus sign is the exposure value control
and had the card in it and then there was an indicator to show that the
battery is full there we are heading out from my yard this is Thanksgiving Day of
course we're covered in snow here and we're gonna leave our area and go down
lower and we're going to family for Thanksgiving and I thought it would be a
great time to test this out but pretty cool video really for
now we're popping in a pickup my daughter and this is the audio recording
I want you to listen to turn it off it records for 30 seconds Wow it includes
the front door see if I can help her now that previous Auto segment that you just
listened to is the unit recording inside the car you do have to let people know
if you can record them in the car I told my wife later on hey I'm gonna use that
recording anyway she said okay so I had her permission the other thing is when
you're going down the highway if you want to use your video footage from a
dash-cam here's a car getting pulled over by the State Patrol and we didn't
mind because that particular car rushed up on our rear end and blew past us just
a few miles before that so it was kind of cool to see them getting nailed
anyway this is pretty harsh light by the way the Sun is coming at the camera now
we're in Twilight show that sample if you're going to use your video sequences
so you protect yourself for an insurance claim or if you're going to give this to
the police or you want to use it in court in my state that audio has to be
on the whole time so if you delete the audio or disconnect audio from video in
post-production you will not be able to use this footage in some States the
other thing is where you place your camera there are laws governing
governing where your camera can be so in my state State of Pennsylvania you have
to have this dashcam actually up top center on your windshield or all the way
to the lower left or all the way to the lower right and it cannot occupy more
than five square inches of space since this unit is 2.5 inches that is the
largest that I can have on my windshield and I place this right behind the rear
view mirror so it's actually not really visible for me I can see the bottom
controls and I can see that it's on or off and remember if the display is
not legal you can turn that display off and the unit still records so as long as
your car is running it's recording when you shut off your car it continues
record for thirty seconds but you also have control over how long it's going to
record when your vehicle's off plus you can have like a scan unit where it takes
a shot at intervals and you can scan a parking lot for example for security now
here this is the darkest and probably most challenging I was pretty impressed
that it's not pixelated it's not grainy or noisy now one thing you'll notice you
can't read the license plates on cars so since this thing is recording if there's
a car you're trying to get information about talk out loud and just let it
record your voice describe the license plate you get a teenager that's learning
to drive put one of these in their car and let them know that everything
they're doing is being recorded and you're going to see improved driving
practices on the part of those teenagers so this is great some insurance
companies offer you a discount if you have a dashcam because they've learned
that people that have dash cams are generally going to drive more
responsibly the other thing is you have the confidence that if anything happens
and somebody claims that your driving was erratic or you did something to
cause an accident you're gonna have video footage right here the other thing
is you can have a camera facing to the back so if somebody's riding your rear
end or something you're going to be able to document that especially when there's
snow and ice and Sony might slide up and hit you you want to get that information
and again remember say out loud as much information about the vehicle as you can
if it's a hit-and-run type thing say the license plate number describe the
vehicle and how many people are in it that will help you later in the audio is
constantly being recorded thanks for watching I hope this review was helpful
