The Rexing S3 Dash Cam is a 3-channel dash camera designed to record video footage from the front, rear, and cabin of a vehicle. It offers a comprehensive solution for in-car video surveillance, providing various recording modes, playback options, and connectivity features.
Function Description:
The primary function of the Rexing S3 Dash Cam is to continuously record video while the vehicle is in operation. It supports loop recording, which means it will automatically overwrite the oldest video files once the memory card reaches its storage limit, ensuring continuous recording without manual intervention. The camera is equipped with a rotating front camera (90°) and rotating rear/cabin cameras (180° horizontal and 270° vertical), allowing for flexible adjustment of the recording angles to capture different perspectives. Infrared lights are also integrated, likely to enhance recording quality in low-light or nighttime conditions within the cabin.
The device also features a GPS logger, which is integrated into the power cable. This allows the dash cam to record speed and location data alongside the video footage. This information can be viewed during playback using a dedicated GPS video player, providing valuable context for recorded events.
For enhanced security when the vehicle is parked, the Rexing S3 offers a Parking Monitor feature. This mode provides surveillance on your parked vehicle and requires connection to a Smart Hardwire Kit (sold separately) to ensure continuous power without draining the car battery. The Parking Monitor offers two main options: Vibration Detection and Time Lapse Record. Vibration Detection triggers event recording upon detecting significant movement or impact, while Time Lapse Record captures video at a reduced frame rate (1FPS, 2FPS, or 4FPS) to conserve memory during extended parking periods.
The dash cam includes a built-in Wi-Fi feature, enabling users to connect their smart device (phone or tablet) to the dash cam. This allows the smart device to act as a remote camera, viewfinder, and provides the ability to download recorded files directly to the phone. This feature is managed through the "Rexing Connect" app, available on both the App Store and Google Play.

Recording and Playback:
- Loop Recording: Users can select recording durations (1, 2, or 3 minutes) or turn it off. This ensures continuous recording by overwriting older files.
- Gravity Sensing (G-Sensor): Detects sudden movements or impacts (e.g., in an accident) and automatically locks the current video file to prevent it from being overwritten, preserving crucial footage. Sensitivity can be adjusted (High, Middle, Low, Close).
- Date Stamp: Allows displaying the date and time on recorded videos.
- Recording Audio: Users can choose to record audio with video or mute the microphone. The Audio button can be held for 3 seconds to toggle mute/unmute.
- Exposure Adjustment: The camera's exposure value can be adjusted (-3 to 1) to make recorded videos brighter or darker according to preference.
- Video Playback on Device: To play back videos directly on the dash cam, recording must be stopped first. Then, hold the Mode button to enter playback mode, use the Up and Down buttons to select the desired video, and press OK to play. During playback, OK pauses, Up rewinds, and Down fast forwards.
- Video Playback via SD Card: Videos can also be played back by removing the memory card, inserting it into an SD card adapter, and then into a computer.
- Video Playback via Wi-Fi: The Wi-Fi feature allows downloading recorded files to a smartphone or tablet via the Rexing Connect app for viewing.
Settings and Configuration:
- Light Frequency: This setting should be adjusted based on the power supply specification of the user's geographical region (e.g., 60Hz for U.S. users).
- Screen Saver: Users can set a duration (10, 30 seconds, 1 minute) for the screen to stay lit after recording starts, or turn it off.

- GPS Speed Unit: The unit for displaying GPS speed can be changed.
- Restore Factory Settings: This operation resets all device settings to their original values, losing any user-customized settings.
Maintenance Features:
- Memory Card Formatting: It is strongly recommended to format the memory card within the camera when using the dash cam for the first time to ensure proper recording without errors. The process involves stopping recording, navigating to Setup Settings, selecting "Format," and confirming with the OK button. Users are reminded to back up important data before formatting.
- Memory Card Insertion/Removal: The device accepts Class 10/UHS-1 or higher Micro SD memory cards up to 256GB. It's crucial to power down the device before inserting or removing the memory card to prevent data corruption or damage. The card is inserted until a click is heard, and a spring release mechanism helps push the card out for removal.
- Firmware Updates (Implied): While not explicitly detailed as a user-facing maintenance feature, the ability to connect to a smart device via Wi-Fi and the general nature of modern electronics suggest that firmware updates might be available to improve performance or add features.
- Cleaning: Although not explicitly stated, regular cleaning of the camera lenses and screen would be standard maintenance to ensure clear recordings and optimal display visibility.
The Rexing S3 Dash Cam aims to provide a reliable and feature-rich recording experience for drivers, with a focus on comprehensive coverage, ease of access to footage, and parking security.
