    Note: dash cam mirror acts like a mirror when you press display off button and still records.
    GPS: sync clock, speed kph/ mph, direction like North East West South
    Power module: this is optional if you decide not to use cigarette light port for power then use power fuse kit and connect to fuse box under the dashboard. Power module has leds for 12v.

    I have one now in my car for 8 months and I truly missed it when I was driving a new car rental. The extra wide angle comes in version handy if you have change lanes rapidly. The night visibility is amazing. The bad part is you have to apply a hydrophobic sprayed on the rear camera lens because water does accumulate and make the image hard to see through the surface rain drops sometimes.

    As I've only made 1 pymt on my 2017 Ford C-Max Energi, I haven't quite gotten to the rear camera installation.....kinda dreading drilling into the frame of my hybrid. So far, the only issue I have had with the Wolf Box while only using front mounted on mirror is that I had it unplugged & off my mirror for a week due to in town only driving while doing DoorDash (most of town is 25mph zone) After a week unplugged & off, I had to reset the time & date. Not even a starter issue in my book. I love having it. A nephew saw it in use yesterday & thought it's pretty awesome, as having it show the camera view, he was able to see what I was seeing while driving, as he was sitting behind me in my car.

I've used most other cams including Garmin and all were crap. The Wolfbox is the best I've seen in a decade. Get the optional power supply cable for 24hr recording parked. It's a great tool

    In this application 50/60 Hz is referring to the electrical cycle in a specific country. USA and Canada are 60hz, much of the world is 50hz. It’s not frames per second (frame rate) but rather it aligns your camera with the ‘frequency’ of electronic equipment/lighting so your camera doesn’t exhibit flicker or banding in the image from lights.

    i hope the company build the front camera little longer so we can turn all the way to all angle the reason is that short people sit closer and not be able to see the camera better. but if we can adjust the screen face to us and the camera is still point straight then we are good. beside if the can build something to eliminate the brightness during nighttime with the headlight from the back and sunlight during the day then this camera is the world best dashcam ever. i love it just those issues

    I have an older model no-name brand. My biggest gripe is the daytime glare. It is like a mirror and there is a lot of reflection and the sun really washes out the camera so basically I can’t see anything. I used the anti-glare screen, but it really reduces the resolution and clarity. I built “blinders” around the sides of the mirror which helps but doesn’t look great. How is the daytime glare on this Wolfbox?

    I would think the rearview camera should be mounted higher up. It's not so much a backup camera as it is for being a digital rearview mirror. As you're driving, you want that higher in oder to see more behind you and if you have a car close behind you, you can see over them better.

      @jessicaann9027 Год назад

      Airbags are overall stable. Only time they are a danger is when you add a power source to them. Shorting them out can absolutely cause them to inflate. We don’t disengage the battery when we work around them as long as we don’t have to touch the power connections for them directly. 🙂

    • @rick6z5

      Anytime you have concerns about airbags going off while doing work on any vehicle, just locate and pull the fuse out and replace after the work is completed, that will leave you confident that the airbags will not deploy.

    You just leave the hole you drilled open? No kind of grommet or seal the hole from water?

    At 3:55 you seemed to be sticking two sensors in the upper left interior corner of the windshield. I presume one is the GPS. What is the other?

    Does it cause a paralytic draw by being on when the car is off?

      Yes it does but that small box on the power wire has protection and it shuts down the camera under a certain voltage, so you can start the car
