    I have that same one. It works well although the screen is small.

  • I have 2 Rexing V1 dashcams and they have worked great for the last year.

  • I have one in my Tracker and I just installed one in my truck today. Both of mine have front and rear cameras. It's nice to be recording the action behind you as well as the action in front of you. Also get one with a G sensor.

Only downside is it can default to the off position if connected to a switched power connection, or if vehicle batteries are disconnected for engine maintenance, storage, etc.

  • Link I use this one. It works fine for me. I have had this or a similar priced one for several years. I have not needed it for any insurance issues, but have recorded some interesting stuff. A sheriff driving through a red light with both hands off the wheel and a phone in his ear for one.
