Rexing - R88 4K Front + 4K Rear Dual Sony STARVIS Dash Cam with 5.8GHz WiFi GPS - Black

The cameras look really modern and compact, and they blend in nicely on the windshield without feeling bulky. The 4K video quality from both the front and rear cameras is super clear so you can easily read license plates and road signs. Having both cameras included right out of the box is a huge plus. I also like that it uses USB-C, so it works with most of the chargers I already have. The touchscreen is responsive, and the large screen makes it easy to review footage directly on the device. It even comes with an SD card, which saved some money to buy one. Overall, it feels well-built and does exactly what I wanted — great quality, easy to use, and reliable.

This new Rexing R88 is a real game changer from my 10 year old Garmin dash cam. I realized I needed a new dash cam when the poor resolution of my old one was not sufficient to clearly see what I needed, plus it did not have enough memory capability even with the largest allowed memory card to store more than a couple hours of video. When I tried to download the event I needed on my old unit it had already looped and erased the file. It was time for an upgrade. My shopping led me to the Rexing R88 dash cam for several reasons: 1. I own another Rexing for my other vehicle and it has been flawless for over 8 years. I trust the name brand reliability. 2. This model has front and rear cameras. I am replacing a front only system but seriously wanted a rear cam. Drivers seem to tailgate more frequently these days and I worry about being rear ended. 3. I needed a cam with large memory capability to prevent loop over recording like my older unit. The R88 can handle 256GB which is many hours of recording. The Best Buy R88 includes a 128GB card which should provide ample hours of recording at normal resolutions without worrying about loop over. 4. The Best Buy model comes with a hardwire kit to eliminate the cigarette lighter plug which I used on my older unit and always seemed to get in the way. Yes, these are available separately but it is nice that it is included with the Best Buy R88. 5. The WiFi feature and the Rexing app for iPhone work great eliminating the need to pull the memory card for video review. Simply turn on the internal WiFi and connect to the iPhone and choose the video file you need to download to the phone. Mounting the dash cam to my windshield took a bit of planning to be perfect. I have never used an electrostatic film so I had to learn why it is included in the package. I discovered it would be OK to just to stick the included double-sided tape directly to the dash cam and then stick on the windshield but it would be difficult to remove when the time came. I had this problem removing my old dash cam. I was able to use a knife to pry my old one off the windshield but it was a chore. With the electrostatic film removal will be much easier when the time comes. The electrostatic film included in the package is actually twice as large as necessary and I learned that you do not want to have the lens looking through the film as it distorts the image (mainly at night). I cut the film in half lengthwise and it gave me two pieces that have a small border larger than the size of the mounting tape but small enough for the lens to see under it. The overall size of the unit is smaller than expected and it fits very neatly under the Honda CRV rearview mirror. Running the wires to the windshield and rear cam was very straightforward. I took time to tuck it under the trim to keep it invisible which was a bit of effort but worth it in the end. Having the hardwire adapter allowed use the dash cam without the cigarette lighter plug wire which is a much cleaner look. There are three resolutions that can be chosen for recording. The 4K setting gives amazingly clear video images but takes up more memory which is less total recording time on the memory card. I found the 1080p setting to give extremely clear video but nearly twice the total recording time so I am using that setting for now. I have not driven long enough yet to see how many total hours the 128gb card will hold but I know it will be plenty for many hours of record time. In conclusion, I am extremely pleased with my new Rexing R88 dash cam. It was not the cheapest unit but given all its features and included options (rear camera, hardwire kit, 128gb memory card), I find it to be a very good buy.

My wife and I have both been using Rexing cameras for at least a decade and have captured multiple accidents caused by other drivers—having that footage was invaluable in proving what really happened. Because of that, I’ll never own a vehicle without a Rexing dash cam installed again. Recently, a police officer we shared footage with noted that the video quality was higher than what their squad car cameras capture and asked me what brand of camera I was using. What a great third-party influence to keep us assured that Rexing remains leader in the dashcam business! In that instance and in many others, I was confident in recommending Rexing as a great dashcam solution. Their cameras are affordable, high-quality, look great installed, and are easy to use. In the product photos, you’ll notice the power is shown connected through the 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter) with another wire hidden behind the rearview mirror. I chose to hardwire my camera using the included hardwire kit. The Rexing Hardwire Kit included with the camera came with Mini fuse adapters, but my vehicle (2025 Ford Explorer ST) uses Micro2 fuses, so I picked up the Rexing Fuse Tap and Add-a-Circuit Adapter set (includes LP-mini, Mini, and Micro2 blade fuse adapters) for $9.99 from Rexing. After initially setting up the cameras, I couldn’t wait to explore and get them setup, so I used the 12V power outlet until the new adapter was delivered. Once I swapped in the Micro2 adapter, the hardwire kit fit perfectly into my fuse box. I have a multimeter on hand that was helpful selecting the fuses to tap into for the ACC and B+ (constant power) wires. Make sure to select fuses that don’t power safety equipment or critical vehicle systems just in case. I was particularly careful not to tap into anything related to the BlueCruise self drive feature of our vehicle. Hiding the power wires for each camera was straightforward in our vehicle, fortunately I found a Youtube video detailing how to hide the wires on our vehicle. Adjusting the camera settings was a breeze, really there wasn’t much adjustment needed. One tip—make sure your rear camera isn’t mounted upside down before sticking it to the windshield! I made that mistake initially, but the adhesive came off cleanly with no residue, making detaching and flipping the camera over an easy fix. I’ve included a photo of the orientation of the rear camera when correctly installed. This was in the instructions, but I got a little ahead of myself. Both cameras look great installed on our vehicle. The front camera tucks nicely behind the rearview mirror so it doesn’t interfere with the drivers view of the road. And the rear camera isn’t large enough to interfere with the view out the back at all. Connecting to the Rexing app over Wi-Fi was seamless, and transferring footage worked flawlessly and much quicker than I anticipated given the 4K quality. Very happy with this new camera from Rexing, once again they've improved upon an already great product and have done so at a competitive price. Thanks Rexing for keeping an eye on us while on the road for so many years!
