Review on Dashboard Streaming Recorder G Sensor Recording by Wendell Mitchell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great DVR with lots of great features!

This is my 4th Rexing DVR, they keep getting better with each new model. It looks beautifully streamlined and hidden, you hardly realize it's there. I love how this device plugs straight into your current mirror and gives you a mirror when the screen turns off so you never lose your mirror. It has a large field of view and allows you to switch between front and rear cameras. It's extremely helpful to be able to see behind you, and if you put it in reverse you'll see distance lines to help you reverse. Overall solid build quality, the menu system is well thought out and intuitive. Pros: - Clear video from the front camera with large resolution options. - Wide field of view from both front and rear cameras. - Displays lines when reversing. so you know how close you are. - Impressive clarity and touchscreen size. - The front camera has a setting that allows you to pan it up or down depending on how it sits on your mirror to give you a direct shot. Cons: - Lack of rear camera installation guide - Rear camera resolution isn't as clear as front - A few bugs in firmware - G Force detection is too sensitive, shot to the end Other thoughts: - It would be nice to go straight to the to be able to mount old mirror brackets. - I wish they had an immediate shutdown for the screensaver option, it can be distracting until the device turns off the screen. - It would be nice if you could tilt the front panel. the camera, because at least on my car it sits a bit crooked because it sits on the mirror.- the mirror is a little darker tinted than stock, is nice when it's sunny outside while at night it doesn't quite reach the car's headlights back, but it doesn't bother me that much either.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
