Rexing S1 Pro Dash Cam User Manual
The information in this manual is subject to change without notice. Visit www.rexingusa.com for the latest updates.
Notice
- Menu Setup Operation: The menu should be set up in non-video mode. If the device is in video mode, proceed after stopping the video recording.
- Memory Card: A new card must be formatted to the device before use. Continuous image recording for long periods may produce protected files that are not subject to long-term protection (these files may not be overwritten during loop recording) and storage fragments, which need to be cleared regularly to save stable storage space.
- Standard Voltage for On-board Charger: Standard input voltage is configured at 12V. If a charge voltage greater than 12V is found, contact your dealer or the service center to replace it with an applicable charger. An OEM charger must be used.
- Parking Monitor: Do not enable this function during driving. When enabled, repeated start/stop recording may affect the integrity of your video.
- Installation Location: Do not install the device within the range that could be impacted by an airbag or in a location that interferes with the driver's view or other safe operation of the vehicle. Make sure it is securely mounted.
- Feature Variations: The features described in this manual are available for all products of the same type. Your model may have come with optional or additional functions. Menu operations may vary. Please refer to the instructions that apply to your actual product.
⚠️ Warning
The battery (module or pack) must not be exposed to an overheat environment such as direct sunlight or flame. Never remove, strike, or squeeze the battery or put it in fire. Stop using the battery if it is ballooned, warped, leaking, or shows any other visible signs of damage.

- Plug the charger into the car's cigarette lighter and connect the device through the car charger.
Note: The charger extension cable can be wired along the edge of the windshield. The optional rearview camera should be mounted on the rear windshield. Pay attention to its orientation during installation; it can be wired against or above the interior's headliner. Plug the rearview camera connector into the rear camera port of the device once the camera is securely mounted. Adjust the lens position to ensure it remains horizontal with the ground. Start the engine to check the video operation of your device.
Installation Instructions
(Diagrams illustrate optimal installation locations and power cable wiring, as well as rearview camera wire routing.)
For the rearview camera, there are two wiring options, both featuring concealed wire routing against the edges of the doors:
- a. The rearview camera can be mounted directly above the rear window inside the car.
- b. The rearview camera can be mounted directly above the car's license plate.
It is recommended to install all components beforehand according to the drawing and test the system using the on-board charger power supply. Ensure the device is in good condition prior to installation. Contact the service center for any questions.
III. Turn on the Dash Cam
Connect the dash cam to the car charger after installation. Starting the car engine will start the device.
Note: Due to unstable voltages when starting the car engine, voltage fluctuations may be obvious in some vehicles. If a flashing screen or other operating problems occur when you start the engine, it is recommended to unplug the device from the charger before starting the engine and reconnect it after the engine is running.
