Product Manuals

Q: Do you install mirror front and rear dash cams

A: the mirror dash cam fits over your existing mirror with rubber straps, so there is no real installation for this part. the rear camera actual needs to be installed by mounting the camera to a spot on the back of the vehicle (usually near the license plate), and running wires along your baseboards and interior to reach the front rear view mirror. There is also a red wire by the rear camera that needs to be spliced into your reverse light wires. So yes, there is a certain amount of installation that needs to be done, maybe 30 minutes to an hour time frame

Q: Do you have to drill holes in your car if you do not have an existing backup camera? Or is there a drill-free way to mount? Thanks.

A: For my car yes I drill because I wanted to be in the center but you can put it with your rear plate screws so you don’t have to make a whole and you can run the wires with the license plate lights

Q: Does it record while parked

A: If connected to a constant power source yes

Q: Was wondering if this will still be able to record while being away from the vehicle trying look for one in case someone vandalize my vehicle

A: It auto records about a minute if the car shakes. So, maybe, if someone slugged your car with a bat or something, but if we’re talking about someone keying your car or graffiti, etc., then definitely not. Hope this info helps.

Q: Hi, Do this Dash cam has WIFI so i can monitor outside while parking?

A: No, the M1 model does not have WiFi.

Q: Does the camera have a playback mode?

A: Yes, if you save a clip you can view it on the screen.

Q: Does this come with an sd card?

A: This does not come with an SD card. You'll need to purchase a micro sd card separately.

Q: Does this have a battery or capacitor?

A: There's a built In battery but it cannot run long term on it. It requires power

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Great 2 cam rearview mirror for the price
I bought this for my Mini Cooper JCW a couple weeks ago and absolutely love it! Picture quality is excellent. Very easy to install, just take your time and tuck the wires away so they're out of sight. Wired the back up cam to my reverse light and was pleasantly surprised with the guidance lines. The only con that I have is that the screen on mirror gets washed out in bright daylight making backup cam very difficult to see.

It’s ehhhhh
Not to bad depending on the car you have it can very well be harder to install. Camera quality is good but when it rains back camera is badly affected by the rain easy to use.

Great Front Camera / So-So Rear Camera
HIGHLIGHTS HD Video with Wide Aperture / Wide Dynamic Range Front Camera 1296p (2304×1296) Forward Camera / 720p (1280×720) Rear Camera Simultaneous Dual Camera Recording 140 Degree Field of View Loop Recording Support for MicroSD Cards up to 256GB Parking monitor records video if G-Sensor registers a jarring movement to vehicle INSTALLATION & SET-UP Installation is quite hard to describe as everyone’s installation will be different if you use both front and rear cameras. However, basic installation of the M1 is super simple. One mini USB power cable and 2 silicone straps is all that is needed to get the unit mounted and installed. The 2 straps secure the M1 to your existing rearview mirror. The forward-facing camera slides in and out on a bracket on the left side (driver’s side) of the M1. The mini USB power cable plugs into the top and can be discreetly routed to a 12V power source. The overall length of the of the power cable is about 7 ft long, by my guesstimate. Basic installation is super easy and quick. Configuration of the M1 is handled at the mirror itself. The entire mirror is a touch screen and all menus are quickly and conveniently located within the mirror’s display. The dash cam has a good set of built-in adjustments to help fine tune the cameras and display to each users’ preferences. The user can set resolution, record duration, shock sensor sensitivity, date, time, volume, exposure, etc. just to name a few. Responsiveness of the touchscreen is smooth and consistent with very little to no lag. As mentioned before, the front, forward facing camera is mounted directly to the mirror/DVR. It can slide in and out about 2 inches to help match the size of your vehicle’s existing rearview. A nice feature is that the forward-facing camera is not stationary on its mount. It can be adjusted in all directions, as well as rotated. This ensures that the recorded image is level and square and the camera is positioned precisely how the user wants it. A very nice feature. PERFORMANCE I find the overall performance of the unit a somewhat mixed bag. I am very impressed with the front camera. Recording at night is always one of the greatest challenge of any dash cam. I am pleased to report that this camera has a much better night image than my current dash cam from another manufacturer. The wide aperture of the front camera ensures nighttime images, with nothing more than headlights illuminating the road ahead, are bright and the surrounding areas are very detailed. Traveling in urban areas at night was even more impressive. The camera does a great job of recording low light areas while not being blown out by streetlights, traffic lights, and oncoming vehicles. I am impressed with the quality of the recorded images compared to Rexing’s competition. However, the rear camera is not as great as the front. That wide aperture 1296p front camera is sorely missed in the rear. The rear camera makes do with just a 720p camera. I could not find any additional specs for the rear camera, but its image quality isn’t anywhere near as good as the front camera. Resolution aside, the rear camera is easily blown out by headlights. Bad enough that the user loses all sense of distance at night to the car behind. The image is worse than any plain rear-view mirror from decades ago. Not to mention, the image doesn’t dim as cars approach from behind, only adding to the lack of depth perception. While this may sound overly critical of the product, I find it an important issue. It’s my opinion that your rear visibility should be of utmost priority if your product is going to take the place of your existing rearview mirror. On a positive note, assuming there is not another vehicle behind, highway images and urban images are plenty detailed at night. Day time images are clear and detailed, as there is nothing to blind the camera from behind. The rear camera can also serve as a back-up camera, should your vehicle not be equipped. A single, one wire connection to your vehicle’s back-up lights is all that is needed to enable this feature. Once connected, the mirror overlays a pair of parking guidelines on the image when the car is shifted into reverse and disappear once the car is shifted to another gear. Very cool and very simple. Well thought out Rexing! The M1 is equipped with what Rexing calls a G-Sensor. It is like a constant guard dog for your vehicle. Once the camera powers down and goes to “sleep”, a built-in battery provides power to the shock sensor. The user decides the level of sensitivity for the shock sensor in the mirror’s set-up menu. If the car then receives a jarring movement greater than that threshold, the mirror records images from both cameras and automatically locks them to prevent deletion. DRAWBACKS I have already discussed the most significant drawback already and that is the poor performance of the rear camera at night. The whole point of the M1 is that it replaces your existing rearview mirror. However, the easily blown out images at night make it hard to determine distances to other cars behind. The whole mirror basically becomes a big, white ball of light with no detail whatsoever. In addition to the poor performance of the rearview camera, it must be noted that the included power cable for the rear camera will not fit every vehicle. Rexing clearly intends this camera to be used in a sedan, crossover, or small SUV. The power cord is nowhere near long enough to fit a standard half-ton full-size truck that Americans know and love. I installed this camera on the rear bumper of a late model F-150 SuperCrew with the 5.5 foot bed. No matter how I ran the cable, it was not long enough to reach the mirror. I was forced to purchase an extension cable to complete my installation. On a positive note, should I decide to move the camera to the back window of the F-150, the included power cable would be more than long enough to reach the rear facing camera. The rear camera’s mounting bracket is poorly designed. Rexing fully intends this camera to be mounted from the top, looking back (from a rear window or under the lip of a truck or decklid). There is no way to flip the mounting bracket over to mount it from the bottom. Attempting to do so only results in an upside-down image on the mirror. A super simple design change, only to the mounting bracket, would solve this issue and cost next to nothing for Rexing. Update: I was able to get the rear facing camera bottom mounted, but not without some Dremel work to the included mounting bracket. This dashcam is missing two important features: The first is GPS. The M1 is not equipped with GPS and does not appear to have the option to support it. Second, this dashcam does not have the ability to stream its recordings to a mobile device. While not as big of a deal breaker as GPS, the ability to stream playback is super convenient. The Rexing M1 allows for playback of the recordings either via the mirror itself, or by removing the microSD card and using a computer with a common player like VLC. Easy enough, but it’s still a hassle. CONCLUSION The M1 is a slick product and everyone that has seen it, really likes it. I also like it. I currently own a competitor’s dashcam and am sold at having a camera both front and rear now. Will the Rexing replace my existing forward-facing only dashcam? Yes, it will. The overall issue I have with the Rexing M1 is that it seems they put all their effort into the mirror and front camera. The rear camera, mounting bracket, power cable all appear like afterthoughts. Something to check a box. The lack of GPS and streaming options are definitely cost cutting efforts and to keep the product from encroaching on Rexing’s other offerings. If I had not been spoiled by my current dashcam’s GPS and Wi-Fi streaming, I might consider this a non-issue. But once you have those options, it is hard to give them up. While not perfect, this is a good product at an attractive price point. The addition of dual cameras at this price point is a great add-on, even if I’m not thoroughly impressed by the rear camera’s offering. However, should a person not need all the additional bells and whistles, this unit will serve them well.
