Great camera for your $$$
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to hook up. Don’t be worried about how hard it will be if your running the wires throughout your car, its not that hard and there is a tool inside. Also the image quality was better than I expected. Only downside is you will need a SD card (wish they provided one). Didn’t hook up the wire to the light but you can still park with the camera by swiping left.

Wow what a system
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am completely impressed my the quality of the video.The touch screen monitor makes for a quick setup. With the swipe of a finger you go from rear-view to front-view and back. I had to play with the sensitivity button. When ever I would close the door an incident would trigger and pictures from the front and rear camera were save in a special folder. I also liked that I could move the viewing of the front camera up or down on the screen. If you playback to the monitor you get a slice of the original recording. If your playback on a PC or laptop you get the full screen and its wide angle. I would recommend this product to my family and friends. I had a problem getting the rear camera to stay attached to the headliner using the supplied tape strip. The glue would heat up and the camera would slide off the strip. this was fixed by using the screws also furnished. The tool supplied to hiding the wires made it an easy task, I quickly had it installed in minutes. As this was installed in a Ford F-150 four door crew cab, the red wire for the backup lights was too short. I would recommend to you buy the 256 GB mini card. Remember you are now recording twice the HD Video.

Love it.. work great and easy install
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is one of the best dash cam I've seen. Connects directly onto your rear view mirror. If you want a quick install you can drop power cable and rear camera in the cabin of your car.. (if you're lazy). It will take about 15 to 20 mins to run the cable in the lining of your car.. pretty easy to do and highly recommended

It works but not the best user experience
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The initial installation of this unit is where my poor review mainly lies. Other than that, it does work but you may have to get your hands dirty to install this cleanly and completely. Setup. Oh boy. For an item that can feel daunting to install since it requires routing wires around your car, the "quick start guide" is not very.. thorough. At all. I consider myself somewhat handy and not very dumb, but literally, the instructions for how to mount the rear camera tell you things like "connect the red wire to your taillight" (if you want the camera to automatically switch on when you put the car in reverse) and "mount the camera as shown" and then they just show a top-down picture of a car with a vague position where the camera should be located and where the wires should be routed. There isn't a single picture or instruction on HOW to mount the camera. Not one. Everything about it felt like I bought a DIY kit and I was just on my own here. No where does it tell you whether your situation might be best to use the double sided sticky pad to mount it. No where does it tell you when you might want to use the included screws to mount it. No where does it tell you which ORIENTATION to mount your camera in... Which is why, when I finally took a guess as to which way to mount the camera, I apparently did it wrong. The camera was upside down. "No proplem", I thought. "It's 2019, there HAS to be a setting somewhere where I can flip the camera. They wouldn't be so vague with all of their instructions and then make it so you can't adjust anything as simple as flipping an image in software.". Boy was I wrong. There is no way to flip the image. I totally understand that I could have avoided this issue (maybe) if I plugged the camera into the mirror and tested everything out before I started installing things... but I didn't do that. I didn't think I should have to. I expect things to work. Just a small warning, if you decide to purchase this unit, do not mount the camera with the mounting "base" on the bottom or you will have the same issue. A single picture showing which way the camera should be mounted (or even just some text that says "make sure you mount the camera upside down") is literally all that was needed to completely remove any confusion. I guess they just assume everyone is going to hire someone to install these. So, I'll now need to take some actual time and effort to route the wires through my bumper so I can mount the camera upside down near my license plate (I haven't found another location that seems suitable). I'll just have to find time to figure out how I'm going to do that one day. For now, I just can't use the main selling point for me which was the backup camera. Updates are kind of archaic but they work fine. The website has you type in your version number and it suggests the firmware to download. You put the .bin file in the root of your SD card and it updates automatically when the mirror turns on. There's no checking if it already has that version so make sure you pop out the SD card after it's done or you'll just keep updating over and over. Settings are pretty standard stuff. You can change the resolution, or setup time lapse captures. There's an option that detects "collisions" and makes a recording automatically for you. You can also setup a Parking Mode which I assume would record everything while you're away from the car. I didn't try this, though. The only setting they really needed was some way to flip the orientation of the backup camera. Using the dash cam is pretty basic stuff. You can hit the record button or hit the picture button. Standard dashcam stuff I assume. The mirror doesn't do a really good job at being a mirror when the screen is on at all, which I was a little sad about. Obviously, you shouldn't be driving with the dash cam on, but there's another screened mode that looks nice. It just has the time/date on the side of the mirror. It also has a weird static image of a car in the middle of the road which I wish had an option to be removed. Maybe there is and I haven't found it yet. A "just the time" mode would be nice, but even with just the time on there, having the screen active "dims" the effectiveness of the mirror. You can still see out of it but it's not super clear. I'm sure it's something I could get used to, but luckily this mirror has a "mirror mode" as well, which just turns the screen off completely. This was the closest to my stock mirror I could do. There's still a very small amount of "fog" to it but it's close enough. You're able to cycle through these 3 modes pretty easily by just pressing the power button. Each press cycles to another mode. These modes also didn't appear to interfere with recording or anything so you can start recording when you get in your car and then switch the mirror to whichever mode you like best and not worry about it anymore. One more note about the look of the mirror, you might need to stash a couple of lint-free clothes in your car. You don't think about it with a standard mirror, but literally minutes after driving I couldn't not see how many finger prints were all over the mirror. Since the device is a touch screen, you'll probably want some way to wipe the mirror clean more regularly than you would a standard mirror. I think that's all I can do for this review. It's a dash cam that I was excited about but fell a little short on the user experience for me. Installation instructions are incredibly minimal so, if you don't know what you're doing, maybe seek help. I'm hoping I'll be happier when I figure out how to actually finish installing the rear camera but for now, the dashcam functionality alone is starting to grow on me. I'd say, if you're comfortable with a little DIY, this probably isn't a terrible buy but if you're looking for something a little more polished and ready to install and go, you might want to look at other options.

Great concept but feels beta...
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking to upgrade/update my current dash cam setup for my car and came upon the Rexing M1. I love the idea and concept of it being a rear mirror replacement and dash cam in one with a backup/rear cam included. Total package per say, but after a few weeks of usage, I can't say I'm a fan of the quality in recording and pixelation while zooming. This isn't the only camera that has pixels while zooming as the dash cam this replaced did the same thing. Good overall package, but would be difficult to install for most. I would recommend due to the price for package, but if you want higher quality recording... look elsewhere. Thanks.

Go for the newer model
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really liked this Dash Cam until it stopped working 1 month ago. It has an internal problem because I have hooked it up to other power sources and it still does not work. It does not stay on. It also no longer turns on automatically when I turn on my vehicle. I turn it on manually and it records for a few seconds and then turns off. I am really disappointed and am expecting warranty to cover this issue and that I receive a newer model as I am sure this is an issue the older models experience.

Completely Obscures Rearview Mirror
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought I would still be able to use the rearview mirror with this but nope- it completely disables the mirror and just shows the dash cam footage. I don't know why this product is even legal.
