Should you buy the Rexing V1 Basic?
The Rexing V1 Basic is the $49.99 dash cam for someone who wants a witness on the windshield and nothing more. It records 1080p on a Sony IMX323 sensor, includes a 32 GB card, locks footage on impact, and has a parking monitor mode. There is no WiFi and no GPS, so reviewing clips means pulling the card. It falls below our buy threshold because the feature set is too thin for 2026. The Vantrue E1 Lite at $96.99 is the camera we would actually recommend.
Where it earns its score
- Value is its best factor at 88. A working 1080p camera with a card in the box for $49.99 is genuinely cheap.
- Satisfaction of 86. People who buy it knowing the limits tend to be happy with it.
- Card included. The bundled 32 GB microSD means it works out of the box; most rivals ship without one.
- G-sensor and loop recording. The essentials for an incident camera are present.
What to know first
- Buy With Caution. A ViperScore of 74 is under our 75 buy line because Features scores 55; no WiFi, no GPS, and 1080p only.
- Warranty is tied for the weakest factor. Warranty and Features both score 55.
- Reviewing clips means removing the card. With no WiFi, you cannot check footage from your phone.
- Quality is 68. The IMX323 sensor is an older design, and night footage shows it.
Our verdict
The Rexing V1 Basic scores 74, Buy With Caution, and ranks last of the 11 dash cams we cover. It is not a bad product, just an outdated one. Spend $47 more on the Vantrue E1 Lite at 77 for GPS and WiFi, or $50 more on the Rexing V1-4K for 4K resolution.

Questions buyers ask
Does the Rexing V1 Basic have WiFi?
No. The Basic trim has no WiFi or GPS; footage is reviewed by removing the microSD card.
Does the Rexing V1 Basic include a memory card?
Yes. A 32 GB microSD card is included, and it supports cards up to 256 GB.
Is the Rexing V1 Basic worth buying?
Only if $50 is a firm limit. It scores 74, below our 75 threshold, because it lacks WiFi and GPS. The Vantrue E1 Lite at $96.99 is the better buy.
