Rexing V1-4K

Should you buy the Rexing V1-4K?

The Rexing V1-4K is the $99.99 front-only camera for the driver who wants 4K resolution and a wide 170-degree lens above all else. It has WiFi for clip downloads and a parking mode with collision detection, but no GPS and no rear camera. The Vantrue E1 Lite at $96.99 makes the opposite trade: 1080p but with GPS built in. Pick based on which you would rather have. Neither is as complete as the 70mai A810 at $189.99.

Where it earns its score

• Satisfaction is the standout at 86. Owners appreciate the wide lens and the fact that 4K comes in under $100.
• Value score of 85. 4K at 30 fps for $99.99 is the cheapest true 4K in our list.
• 170-degree wide angle. Covers multiple lanes and the far edges of an intersection.
• 512 GB card support. Enough for days of 4K loop recording.

What to know first

• Warranty is the weakest ViperScore factor. A 55 score, standard for this category.
• Quality is 72. 4K resolution on a budget sensor does not equal STARVIS 2 night clarity; expect softer low-light footage.
• No GPS. Speed and location are not stamped on clips.
• Parking mode needs a hardwire kit. Sold separately.
