Rexing Dash Cam Placement and Power Guide

Mini-USB Power

Voltage: DC 12V–24V (vehicle-dependent)

Current: 5V/1.5A typical

Connector: Mini-USB cable included with most models

Best for: Basic installation, temporary setups

Limitations: Power cuts when vehicle is off; no parking mode

OBD Port Power

Voltage: Direct from vehicle OBD-II port (12V–24V)

Current: 5V/2A typical

Connector: OBD-II cable (model-dependent)

Best for: Clean installation, models with OBD support

Limitations: Not all vehicles have accessible OBD ports; some models require OBD-specific hardware

GPS Hardwire Kit

Voltage: 12V–30V (hardwire kit rated)

Current: 5V/2A via hardwire module

Connector: Hardwire kit with fuse tap or direct battery connection

Best for: Parking mode, continuous recording, professional installation

Limitations: Requires fuse tap installation; [Requires Manual Verification] — confirm kit compatibility with your specific Rexing model

> **Note:** All electrical specifications above are feed-derived and marked `[Requires Manual Verification]` against official Rexing manuals before publication.

Step 1: Choose Mount Location

Recommended: Center of windshield, behind rearview mirror

Alternative: Passenger-side A-pillar (less obtrusive)

Avoid: Airbag zones, defroster lines, camera blind spots

Mount types: Suction cup (removable) vs. adhesive mount (permanent)

Trade-off: Adhesive holds better in heat; suction is easier to reposition

Step 2: Connect Power

1. **Mini-USB:** Plug the included cable into the dash cam, route along the windshield edge, and connect to the vehicle's cigarette lighter or USB port.

2. **OBD:** Plug the OBD cable into the vehicle's OBD-II port (usually under the dashboard near the steering column). The dash cam should power on automatically.

3. **Hardwire:** Install the hardwire kit using a fuse tap (recommended) or direct battery connection. Follow the kit instructions for fuse selection. [Requires Manual Verification] — confirm correct fuse rating for your vehicle.

Step 3: Position and Secure the Camera

Adjust the angle to capture the road ahead without excessive sky or hood.

Tighten the mount securely. Test by gently pulling the camera — it should not shift.

If using adhesive mount, wait 24 hours before driving to allow bond to cure.

Step 4: Install SD Card

Insert a microSD card (U3, Speed Class 10, microSDXC UHS-3 recommended) into the dash cam's card slot.

Format the card in the dash cam settings before first use.

Important: Capacity, endurance, and device-specific support claims require current product-page verification. Do not assume SD card compatibility without checking the specific model's product page.

Step 5: Configure Settings

Set date/time (critical for evidence quality).

Enable parking mode if using hardwire kit.

Choose resolution and frame rate based on model capabilities.

Test recording by driving a short distance and reviewing the footage.

Mount Accessories

Suction cup mounts: Universal fit for most Rexing models with standard mounting base.

Adhesive mounts: Model-specific adhesive plates recommended for permanent installation.

3M tape mounts: Compatible with models that have a flat mounting surface.

GPS Loggers

GPS logger compatibility is model-dependent. Check the `modelToAccessory` mapping in the enrichment data for your specific Rexing model.

GPS loggers add location metadata to video files for evidence enhancement.

Hardwire Kits

Hardwire kit compatibility varies by model voltage requirements.

[Requires Manual Verification] — confirm kit voltage rating matches your dash cam's hardwire input specification.

SD Cards

Recommended: microSDXC UHS-3 (U3, Speed Class 10)

Maximum capacity varies by model — check product page for limits.

[Requires Manual Verification] — do not claim specific capacity limits without product-page confirmation.

GPS Logger

Adds geolocation data to video files.

Requires compatible GPS logger module (model-dependent).

Placement: Mount near the GPS logger module for best signal reception.

Evidence value: Provides timestamp and location data for insurance claims.

SD Card Requirements

Minimum: U3, Speed Class 10

Recommended: microSDXC UHS-3

Format: Format in dash cam before first use

Capacity: Varies by model — verify against product page

Endurance: Not all cards handle continuous recording — use cards rated for dash cam use

Disclaimer: Capacity, endurance, and device-specific support claims require current product-page verification. No SD card compatibility claims should be made without checking the specific model's product page.

Camera Won't Power On

1. Check power cable connection at both ends.

2. Verify vehicle is on (engine running or accessory mode).

3. Try a different power outlet (cigarette lighter, USB port).

4. Test with a known-good power cable.

No Recording

1. Check SD card is properly inserted and formatted.

2. Verify recording is enabled in settings.

3. Try a different SD card (known-compatible model).

4. Check for firmware updates.

Poor Video Quality

1. Clean the lens with a microfiber cloth.

2. Adjust camera angle to reduce glare.

3. Check focus ring (if applicable).

4. Verify resolution settings in menu.

GPS Not Logging

1. Ensure GPS logger is properly connected.

2. Check GPS signal — requires clear sky view.

3. Verify GPS logger compatibility with your model.

4. Restart the dash cam after connecting GPS logger.

Parking Mode Not Working

1. Confirm hardwire kit is properly installed.

3. Check fuse rating — [Requires Manual Verification] required.

4. Verify parking mode sensitivity settings in dash cam menu.

5. Ensure vehicle is locked (some models require door lock signal).
