Customer Ratings & Reviews

I just recieved the Rexing V3 Dash Cam. Easy to work the cam and all I need to have is the sd card to save my recordings. This dash cam can easy record anything from outside front of the car and inside my vehicle. This cam has great video. It won’t record anything unless you have the sd card. App shows how to easy record, play and etc with the cam. Cam has to be on WiFi mode to have access to the app. Can’t wait to try more features after I get the sd card into the dash cam. The reason I got this dash cam to record while I drive and also while I drive with passengers with UBER and Lyft Needs a memory card in order to operate and recorded. Easy to install and remove from your car. Color is always showing good picture outside even at night and inside the car it goes color in the day and in night mode at night. Can rotate the camera up and down from the sides Can go through the video on your phone if you download the app

Before buying the Rexing V3 Dashcam I did my online window shopping, and watched YouTube reviews which led me looking into the “face” of the V3. I think it’s a nice package: front & rear facing cameras, not bulky, and a hardware kit is optional (which I also paid for and recently installed - by watching helpful YouTube reviews). *I drive for Uber part-time, and I bought this dashcam primarily for that purpose - if ANY person I do not know is getting into my car I can know that I have had enough foresight to buy a dependable dashcam - and this stays on even when my car is off! The footage is dependable, and I would recommend investing in a higher range of GB when shopping for a micro SD card (200-500GB). *Although I made the best attempts to not scratch the touch screen, it inevitably got scratched; but I can only see the scratch marks when camera is off. The screen is so bright I don’t notice any scratches when it’s turned on! *Also, think about how you will be transferring your footage from the dashcam’s micro SD card to whatever device you’re depending on (which plug it accepts? USB-C, etc). *At the time of this review I have owned this dashcam, and used it nonstop day & night, for a full year. If you buy it I hope you like it.

I purchased it in exchange to my Owlcam dashcam which that company became greedy of charging ridiculous monthly fee. Anyway this dashcam is awesome and has a high quality video. Lots of functionality but the software is kinda complicated to explore. Some are pretty self explanatory but some is not user friendly because you have to do lots of steps before you can do specific functions like wifi.. etc. When I connect the unit to laptop it won’t play the video. I tried it using USB socket directly to power cord and it won’t connect to wifi. However when connected to car power source the wifi connection has no problem. So my option for this to view in the laptop is to remove the memory card and insert to card reader using my laptop. Also I noticed that when powered off and when you turn it on it doesn’t update the date and time. So I have to constantly adjust it if I’m doing long drive. The lane assist is kinda annoying sometimes because it constantly beeps if there’s only one way road. But overall I like the resolution of the videos I haven’t tried leaving it during hot weather. I constantly remove it from the base when I’m not driving because I’m worried it will melt the components inside during hot weather just like what happened to my previous dashcam before.

After researching for couple of days, I settled on this one. There were cheaper options available but the quality and features offered by this product for the money are definitely worth it. Similar built quality and feature products were expensive than this one. For me, Wifi download is a big plus as you don't have to take the memory card out. The video displayed on this product is so so, but when downloaded, the quality is good. Overall, for this price point, its a very good product.

Video quality is excellent on both cameras. Night vision works wonders and it was an easy install.

So far I like it! I was able to put it in myself but I am still learning what it can do! I will update in a few weeks once I learn more!

Very compact design with Infrared lights for the cabin camera at night. Images and camera definition 5 stars, The wifi downloading and app are easier to use, good quality materials and film quality is outstanding.

I bought this Rexing - V3 Plus Front and Cabin Dash Cam through reviews on Bestbuy.com and I may say that at first I was really unfamiliar with the installation of this device on my car until I read and followed all the instructions in the manual. I was so excited and happy with the outcome and it comes handy with every tools you need. The Dash Cam itself is user friendly and very easy to operate. I even downloaded the Rexing App on my phone to connect it to the Dash Cam and make reviews on my live video feeds. Everything's good and I feel more safe whenever I'm driving on a trip now. Thank you Rexing!

When I was searching for this camera, most of the bad reviews were of the screen cover falling off with the heat. I thought people were exaggerating and nope, it really happened. Within 24 hours, the screen cover was already falling off. So my conclusion is that if most of the bad reviews are because of that cover, I think that Best Buy or the manufacturer should have done something already with that issue, because the rest of the camera seems pretty solid and works great and since I like the rest of the camera, I had to add double sided tape to keep the cover in place.

I like it. Creates ad-hoc wifi for connectivity to retrieve media.

Well the first time I plugged it in and turned it on it froze on the intro screen. I thought I would have to return it. After a few minutes it came on, but it has continued to do this. Right now it is frozen on the intro screen. I have reset it many times and checked everything and it will not go past the white screen that says Rexing Dash Cam V3. I have only had it about a month. The app also doesn't work well. It will not share directly to Facebook. You have to share to their site and from there to Facebook and it's only a link that doesn't work 98% of the time. App keeps saying Network Timeout or failed to load. You have to go back and reconnect the wifi to the unit and start over. Switch back to wifi or data for internet and try again. This unit is too expensive to be going through this. I am bringing back to Geek Squad since it us still under warranty and I bought extended warranty as well. I wouldn't recommend at this point. Also the windshield mount is not adjustable. Unless your windshield is the perfect angle the unit will face the ceiling. You can adjust the cameras to work like this but the LCD screen will not face you. They should include the suction cup mount that is adjustable which I had to order extra from Amazon.

This is a review after two months of usage. I bought it in August so was still hot outside. I found out about the screen was peel off the camera everytime I got into the car. Now in November, I don't see it's peeling off anymore but the whole camera is falling from the windshield because of that stupid weak gray sticker. It happened twice while driving on free high way. I know I did clean my windshield before I used that sticker. Besides these issues, I do like this dashcam and all that funtions.

Hello I’m writing to all buys to beware of this camera if you live in hot environments especially in the summer. The screen will peel off the camera and debris cause damage to the screen and night vision. Please look at the photos for details. I thought this was a defective product and had gotten it replaced under the warranty. Received new unit just to have the same thing happen. I think they don’t put quality adhesive on the screen which allows it to be detached from the screen when heat is applied to it from the sun. I’m saying like 85 degrees Fahrenheit. THIS IS NOT A ONE PRODUCT DEFECT! Oh and customer service is only through email and make it a pain to get replacements.

Great camera has motion sensor, unfortunately quality need some work. My screen started peeling in day 4 had it replaced by bestbuy tech and the second camera same thing happened, rexing the company is no help what so ever!

I love this dash cam it’s a nice sturdy mount onto the windshield, great picture and also great White view lens. I love the fact that it also has a rare camera that can be easily adjusted and also has night vision. Great addition to add to your vehicle nowadays with all the crazy drivers.

I purchased this Rexing camera from Best Buy in Dothan Alabama. After a couple of weeks the viewing screen began to peel off. It has been replaced by Rexing 3 times now in less than 6 months. The last one the screen began to peel off before I could get it installed. Although both Rexing and Best Buy employees are very friendly neither can seem to get me a refund or in store credit for another brand. This item should be pulled from the shelves until quality control can figure this out.

app sucks, doesn't work If you need to connect to the camera on the road, you cannot connect. Also it doesn't work on iphone

This is my first dash cam, so I really didn’t know what to expect going in to this product but I have to say that so far, I’m quite pleased. Out of the box, this is a relatively unassuming package. No fancy display, fonts, or packaging, just the equipment to get everything up and running. I would say the first, and only real hurdle with the product is the actual installation process. Seeing as every car is different, and can have different headaches, it’s certainly not a bad idea to pony up a small amount to have this professionally installed. The included instructions do a pretty poor job of walking you through what you needed to know and I had to figure quite a bit out on my own. The process from start to finish probably took just about an hour and was frustrating since you don’t want to mess up. Basically you plug in the camera to the cigarette adapter in your car for power. The power cord is very long so you loop it around the internal seal of your car, and use the provided tool to jam the wire into the seal so it largely becomes invisible to the naked eye. The other hassle is just ensuring you’re mounting the camera properly. My initial mount wasn’t positioned properly so having to remount was a bit of a headache. You can’t really test how this will actually all look until you mount the camera, test it, then go review the footage, which is understandable but frustrating. As for the camera itself, which is really why we’re here, it’s really incredible. The setup was simple and the video quality was absurdly great. The camera has both a forward facing camera, set up almost as a fish eye lens to catch what’s happening all around. It also has an inwards facing cam, which in my opinion is largely unimportant unless you were a taxi or Uber driver and wanted your passengers to be recorded. The camera automatically turns on when the car is on and off when the power is off, so you’ll mostly set it and forget it. The camera is small so over time I’ve noticed it less and less. Once something we’re to happen, like an accident, you would remove the memory device from the camera and hook it to your computer, or just hook the camera to the computer, either with provided equipment. Once in your computer you can view and edit your saved videos. The amount and length of what is saved to the memory card is variable depending on how high you set the video quality. The camera can also capture interior sound, which isn’t largely important unless you’re running carpool karaoke. Their is an accompanying app that is supposed to allow you to stream and save videos from your phone. Unfortunately through my experiences and those others in the App Store, the app seemingly doesn’t work at all. Overall, while installation is a pain, alongside the poor app, this is truly a good camera based upon video quality alone. Not to mention ease of use, a small size, and the ability to record sound, this is a recommended buy.

The Rexing V3 Plus dashcam demonstrates good quality and performance. High quality dashcam video can be of extraordinary importance by documenting precisely what occurred in a traffic accident or incident, and the video quality of the Rexing V3 is excellent. The Rexing V3 Plus comes with a 12’ power cord with cigarette lighter plug, two adhesive windshield mounting brackets, six adhesive cable clips for the power cord, a USB cable for downloading videos to a computer and a plastic trim prying tool to facilitate concealing the power cable. The V3 Plus does not contain a rechargeable battery. Instead, it has a super-capacitor which is touted as being less sensitive to extreme temperatures. The Rexing V3 does not come with the required Micro SD card, nor does it come with a suction cup windshield mount or the hardwired installation kit which is required in order to use the Parked Vehicle functions of the dashcam. It would have been very nice for those essential components to be included with the dashcam in order for it to be immediately usable and capable of supporting all of the important functionality. The V3 requires a UHS1 Class 10 Micro SD card up to 256 GB capacity. Rexing warns not to use a San Disk ULTRA SD card. The Rexing V3 has two cameras and is capable of two channel, dual camera recording at a maximum resolution of 1080p at 30 FPS. If only the front camera is recorded, higher resolutions are available including 2160p/24 FPS, 1440p/30 FPS or 1080p/ 60 FPS. Generally, a higher frame rate will produce smoother videos. The video recording format is H 264 (.mp4 files). The front facing camera is adjustable for elevation with a knob on the left side of the housing, and the rear facing, cabin camera is also adjustable. The front camera sensor is a Sony Starvis and the cabin camera sensor is either a Sony IMX323 Exmor according to the Rexing website, or a Sony OV2053 according to the PDF Manual, or a second Starvis according to a Rexing marketing video. Both are f 1.8 aperture and have a 170° field of view, or the rear facing camera might have a 150° field of view according to Rexing web marketing material. The CPU is a Novatek 96660. The cabin camera has four IR emitters for night recording. The Rexing V3 also has a switchable cabin microphone . The Rexing V3 is not a three channel recorder, and does not include or support a rear window camera. There is a rear-camera input jack on the dashcam, which the Manual states is “currently not supported”. Hopefully, Rexing intends to update the firmware and support connection of a rear window camera in the future. The Rexing V3 cabin camera is ideally suited to taxi and ride-share drivers who want to document for-hire transportation. For the rest of us, the cabin camera might be valuable in documenting that the driver was awake and alert and not distracted or using a cell phone, etc., at the time of a traffic mishap. The Rexing V3 has an integral 2.7” LCD display with 16:9 aspect ratio. The display may be switched off (to prevent driver distraction), or it may be configured to display either camera full-screen, or one camera in full-screen with the other camera as a small, Picture In Picture display. All setup and operational functions are controlled with an array of five, small push-buttons on the bottom of the dashcam housing, most of which serve multiple functions depending on dashcam mode and interval for which the button is depressed. The left-most button is Power On/Off, which has the dual function of toggling the display screen. Next is the Menu button and the third and fourth buttons are the Scroll buttons for menu items, video playback functions, toggling audio on/off during recording mode (arrow down) and changing display views (arrow up). The right-most button is the “OK” button, for selecting menu items. Holding the OK button during recording locks the active video clip (1, 2 or 3 minute clip). Locked videos are preserved and protected from being overwritten (until manually deleted) during the continuous loop recording, with new videos overwriting the oldest files once the memory card capacity has been reached. Holding the Menu button switches between Recording and Playback Modes. Holding the Menu button for three seconds switches between Video and Photo (Still) Modes. There are numerous quality settings available for still photos. The Wi-Fi Connect functionality of the Rexing V3 allows connecting with the dashcam via the Rexing Connect smartphone app (Android and iOS versions). The app provides another means of downloading video files from the dashcam. Wi-Fi defaults to “Off” whenever the dashcam is power cycled, and requires being manually turned on when needed. Video files are large, so direct file transfer from the micro SD card to the computer worked best for me. Unfortunately, when attempting to connect the dashcam to Windows 10 computers via USB for Mass Storage (file transfer) or PC Camera functions, the computers refused to recognize the dashcam. GPS functionality is integral to the Rexing V3 Plus. When active, it embeds GPS data with the video files. Videos with embedded GPS data include route graphics on the map display and vehicle speed throughout the drive. Viewing videos with embedded GPS data requires downloading and installing the “GPS Logger” software (Windows and Mac versions). There are multiple, product specific versions of GPS Logger. The correct file for this model is: JMS DVR GPS Player V3_2.20 Release.zip. The firmware in the Rexing V3 Plus includes user selectable Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) which provides some lane-departure and following-distance voice warnings. The Rexing V3 has an accelerometer (G-Sensor) with three sensitivity level settings. In Driving Mode, a collision impact should result in locking the current video file for preservation. Parking Monitor Mode is only supported when the Rexing V3 Plus dashcam is installed with the optional Smart Hardwire kit. That accessory power cable connects to both an always hot fuse as well as to an ignition switched fuse in the fuse block. This allows the dashcam to differentiate between ignition On – Driving Mode, and ignition Off – Parking Mode. I believe that it would be very useful to have the ability to manually switch the unit between Driving Mode and Parking Mode via the switches on the dashcam body when using the cigarette lighter power cord. Parking Monitor Mode has the choice of either G-Sensor activation for a 20 second recording (during sleep), or Time-Lapse recording. Parking Mode is extremely valuable for protecting the parked vehicle against collision, hit and run or vandalism. The Smart Hardwire kit and Suction Cup Mount really should be included with the dashcam, and the ability to manually switch the unit to Parking Monitor Mode when using the cigarette lighter cord should be supported by the firmware, as well. Anyone intending to move the Rexing V3 Plus among multiple vehicles will find the Suction Cup Mount to be valuable. Firmware updates require downloading a zip file to a computer, and copying the extracted .bin file to a Micro SD card which is then installed in the camera. Powering on the camera will install the update. The SD Card must be reformatted both before and after being used for a firmware update. Thus if using the SD Card that contains videos, they need to be transferred off the SD Card first, lest they be erased during the reformat. Rexing recommends updating firmware only if there are operational problems with the current version. Physical installation of the Rexing V3 Plus dashcam was quick and easy when using the Suction Cup Mount that was purchased as an accessory. The Suction Cup Mount facilitates easily moving the dashcam among multiple vehicles, and also facilitates easily moving the camera’s position to choose the best mounting location on the windshield. Using the adhesive mountings would not readily facilitate repositioning the dashcam for the optimal mounting location. Configuration of the Rexing V3 Plus dashcam is simple and straightforward. The menus are clear and logical, and afford great flexibility in the setup configuration. Operation of the Rexing V3 Plus dashcam in the vehicle is generally simple, as well. The dashcam boots up when vehicle power is supplied, and using any of the buttons for shortcut operations is fine once you become familiar with those functions and so long as the dashcam is mounted within easy and safe reach of the driver. The video quality produced by the Rexing V3 Plus is excellent. I experimented with various recording settings and compared the videos. When operating in dual-camera mode, the highest quality available is 1080p at 30 FPS, which I found to be very good. However, when operating in front (single) camera mode, the higher quality 1080p at 60 FPS video was smoother. Even better was the video at 2160p and 24 FPS. The legibility of license plates of vehicles in front of your vehicle is a helpful determinant. Rexing Support is via email contact only during the current Covid-19 pandemic (phone support is suspended). I had occasion to contact support twice regarding unrelated matters. The first inquiry received a response with misinformation. The second inquiry never received any response or acknowledgement at all. These two disappointing experiences with Rexing Support were surprising and do not inspire confidence. Overall, I find the Rexing V3 Plus to be an excellent dashcam, with a good set of features and solid performance. The most important attributes for any dashcam are good, clear, high-quality video coupled with reliable performance and ease of use. The Rexing V3 Plus certainly meets all expectations, and the critically important video quality was impressive. I’m certainly pleased to have the Rexing V3 Plus mounted on my windshield!
