Customer Ratings & Reviews

At this point, I can’t see anyone not appreciating camera tech for their automobiles. Whether you are a Uber or Lyft driver, or just like the reassurance of having footage during road hazard or accident encounters, a camera system is pretty necessary. The V5 Plus is a pretty good option that covers all angles. Unboxing the V5 you will quickly discover the quality of the device and the attention to detail from Rexing. The cameras are enclosed in plastic, but very well made. They are light, but don’t feel or look cheap. The buttons are easy to reach and distinguishable, and I like the power and ok buttons being on each end – easy to remember. There is sufficient wiring for installation in nearly any vehicle. Everything needed to install is included, and there is even an SD card included to get you up and running without additional purchase. With that said, probably the most difficult thing in dealing with the V5 is installation. Running the wiring between the head unit and the rear camera is where the difficulty lies. I’m not saying the average joe can’t do it. It will just take some effort, and depending on your car or SUV, tucking the wiring can be a chore or feel impossible. You can always have it professionally installed, but I believe most people can handle the installation. Once installed, V5 Plus is a respectable camera experience, with a very good forward cam, a good rear cam, and a decent cabin cam. The functionality of the head unit is pretty straightforward, allowing you to display 1-3 cameras at any time. The V5 Plus seems to display in 4K as long as there is a single camera displayed. For multi-cam view, it appears to drop to a lower resolution. The UI for the menu seems to be a little dated, but it works. The best thing about this system is the availability of video from multiple perspectives in and out of the car. The not so great thing is the inconsistency of the cameras with respect to recording and viewing. I don’t see any way to get more than a single camera to record in 4K. I guess that’s not a big issue, but because of the clarity needed when there is a problem only video can solve, it is necessary to point out. If you could at least record the forward and rear camera in 4K that would be a decided improvement, or if you could choose a higher framerate in 1080 that would improve video quality in review cases. As for viewing, I’ve already noted the differences in camera display – the forward cam reigns. Another nice to have would be a battery for instances when the vehicle is not running. What’s funny is the instructions label the port for the power cable as a “USB Charging Port”, but if it’s charging something, I wouldn’t know it. Even with these issues, the V5 Plus does exactly what is intended – it covers the interior, forward, and rear of your automobile with video surveillance. It does a decent job, but I did expect a bit more. Should you buy it? That depends. Are you a Lyft or Uber driver? If so, I would say this unit can do the job needed to cover your vehicle. The only adjustment you may need to make is in the mounting position of the head unit – the rearview mirror tends to block the driver from in-car cam view. As for commuters and those that want a little more security in the form of a camera system, I’m not sure this is the ticket. You can probably get away with a 2-cam system for less money with equal or better functionality/quality. Who knows?.. Maybe an update can make a difference.

This will be great and it will definitely come in handy if I’m ever in accident. Plus I got it on super sale, so it was worth the money.

Opened this right away and been playing with in for 3 hours, superb display and be able to replay video via my phone is a plus.

2nd one. First was an open box item and after a day, it would get hung-up trying boot up. Exhanged for new. New one will not track GPS or speed with any accuracy. Customer service is only available thru email and is useless. I've tried all of their recommendations, and based on responses, I believe there is also a language barrier. Regret spending over $300 to have professionally installed.

I purchased this camera twice and both times it had the same issue where it would just stop recording randomly, and this was within a week of purchase. Also the first one just stopped working completely. I tried to give it a second try but it also disappointed me. The manufacturer needs to look into this issue, for now I cannot recommend this product at all.

great install, excellent techs. they talked me thru the install and i came back in a few hours and the car was done.

Froze in the first 30 days of owning it! The other 1 or 2 star ratings are spot on with the problems I'm having.

It's a decent cam but could have been better. Mine doesn't record sometimes after 1 minute.

good good good good good good good no problems yes it is good please let me submit so i get my best biy points

Total junk keeps getting stuck on the opening screen

Not intuitive app. No GPS, per Company update coming ?

I just bought a new car and was worried about my investment so I thought a dashcam might help. The Rexing V5 is a lot of camera, not only do you get a 4k front facing camera with pivoting lens, but a cabin facing 1080p and rear window 1080p to cover more of the car. The rear camera is not wifi like I thought, you have to run a wire so not the easiest setup. I realized this unit is like a built-in that you won't easily switch between cars not just by the wires, but also by the use of an adhesive to mount to the windshield as opposed to a suction cup. I was a little irked by the fact that the mounting arm is fixed and can't be adjusted, leading to the viewscreen being tilted up slightly though not noticeably. After installing, I got to the menu buttons and discovered how literally in the dark I was to which was which since the indicators are, not only unlit, but skewed to the left of the actual button layout. I assume after a while, it should become intuitive. I found the handsfree voice control works surprisingly well without prompting with a catch phrase. Though I did hear the occasional confirmation beep while I was holding a conversation in the car, to which I had no clue which command I may have uttered. The voice control feature can be turned off, fortunately. The one surprising feature I wasn't expecting was the parking surveillance feature. Say you park in a sus location and worry someone can ding your car, you can set the camera's sensitivity gyro to turn on the moment it senses vibration like if the vehicle next to you bumps you in some way. It can either record a 20 second clip or it can be set to time-lapse so you catch who did it and possibly their plate number. Some electric vehicles already have this safety feature built-in. I think it would be great to present as evidence for insurance purposes. The worst thing I can possibly say about this unit is not about the unit at all, but the associated app that supposedly connects via wifi and allows you to record and save files. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to connect to the camera after multiple attempts. It would connect to it's wifi hotspot, but the app wouldn't recognize the connection. You can easily circumvent this by removing the memory card and downloading any files you want. So, for the best camera setup that covers most of the bases and then some; if you love your car, this is the one to get.

A needed purchase during this time. Good price on sale and used total tech support for installation

Awesome product. Clear camera view. Three cameras: Rear, front, and cab! Keep yourself protected…

Just purchased not even 30 days ago and it does not even work. When you power on the unit it gets stuck on the Rexing “loading” screen. I’m an over the road truck driver and there is no way I’ll make it back to Knoxville in time for a refund. Total waste of money. Smh

It loads fast and i can replay recorded content with ease. This is like one of the best ive own

Got this unit on sale and it worth having it all three cameras.

this is total garbage. very cheap Chinese made trash. one camera didnt work right out of the box. the quality on the others was certainly not 4k. you can tell easily that tis is made from the cheapest materials. do not buy it

This was an ok dash cam. Just for me it didn’t do what I believed it was going to do.

the setting was very difficult and not clear enough for regular person
