When i turn off the ignition key, the camera immediately goes off too. Looks like there is no battery in it so at least to do a safe shutdown or to register the last clip. Does anyone else has that issue?
Watched this Video last night. This morning..... I went ahead and Bought a Wolfbox Dash Cam. I've been watching videos and reading about Dash Cams for a couple weeks. All Wolfbox Dash Cam owners speak very highly of their purchases. And this video really sold me. Thanks a lot!
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.
I wish I could get this but I have a truck. It can still work if I just put it in the cabin facing the back but I guess it wouldn't be worth it all that hassle. Better just to get tow mirrors.
Is it still working well? I'm new driver and I need some help.. I like it but I'm afraid from some distortion in distance or glarey look in the sun or at night... do you recommend it ?
I have the g850. Definitely mount that rear cam Outside. Just above the license plate it's practically impossible to detect even when you know it's there. 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

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.
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. Great video! Thanks for the thorough review! Also, from Tampa too! 👍
I actually bought one of these, I love it and think everyone should have one. That being said a lot of people install the GPS wrong it actually needs to be on the dashboard facing up or it won’t recognize where are…
Thanks for the review. I'm in the market for this type of gear as I have a 4WD which I can't see anything behind via my rear view mirror, due to the (4WDing & camping) gear I generally carry at the back when I drive it. Your review has helped me make my choice. 👍
You didn't mention what MODEL of Wolfbox 4k dash & backup camera this was? G930, G900, G840?? That would have been helpful as most of the Wolfbox cameras are 4k.
Half of my truck's harness is held together by wire nuts. You have to replace them once in a while, but I haven't had any other issues! It's a helluva lot cheaper than paying someone else to rewire my pickup! :3
I was very impressed with this camera system so I ordered it for my 2010 Nissan Rogue. I plan on connecting it to my back up wiring. But I have yet to find a video on how it behaves when actually backing up. Is there a setting where the back up image automatically comes on when put in reverse?
The footage is stored in the SD card. Once you insert that SD card in your computer or mobile you can zoom in and do basically anything as you can with a normal video.
I just ordered one of these. Looks like a real operation to install! I need this on the UK roads.😲😳 Ps.. Rain there I see .. Hi five that weather l🤣. Thanks for the video
I just installed the GH40S for a youtube review as well and when the control menu comes up the "Play" and "Settings" icons are not highlighted so you cant press them. Have you ever had this issue?
i have similar mirror with hardware buttons. No option in the settings for mirroring rear view. Do you think those with touchscreen all have the option?
Can I put the fuse connections to the fuse box for keyed power so power on with key on and no power with key off instead of using the cig lighter for power please respond and thank you
Hi i want to ask, i can't seem to find the recording of my rear view camera nor how to fix it cause it's not available in the settings. Is there any suggestion for this issue?
@@whitegptjetit has something to do with wiring to the reverse light positive. When there's current that activates the reverse light, that same current activates the camera.
Is there a way to connect the existing backup camera to the system? I'm trying to do this with the existing camera, to prevent having to add a second camera, and permanently alter the rear.
The red wire at the tail end where you plug into the rear camera has to be tapped into the reverse wire of the car. When shift to reverse, the red wire energizes and signals the monitor to come on.
@@steve_Pkd I know it did that. I figured out the issue though. I wasn’t expecting it to be this either. Ok so the USB-C that plugs into the mirror, it needs to plug in from the left. If you plug it in and it’s from the right, you’ll get interior and front cam working, but the rear stay off. And the unit will randomly power off and on. As soon as you turn the wire around, it’s perfect.
I have this one as well and its never been a problem for me even when completely off its just a bit darker but you can still see whats going on behind you for the most part.
Based on my experience with dashcams, not good. Sub zero temps killed two of my dash cams when they were left in the vehicle on sub zero days. They just stopped working. I would not spend the money on this if I lived in the North part of the US.
i have tried a few rea view mirror camera models and the nighttime vision was poor. how is this model at night? i live in tampa and i would be interested in seeing this model in action. le me know. hanks
Is it possible to save the angle of the camera in reversing mode only? I.e. the camera is pointed upwards during normal driving and when you go in reverse in points down?
I just bought one of these . I am a little concerned about fixing the rear camera to the outside . I have a landrover discovery and it has a large rear tailgate. Was thinking with all the opening and closing , that the camera would get damaged . Is the camera built that well to allow for this
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.
@StoneJack But we hv to depend on back camera for our rear view as we hv installed wolfbox dash camera on old rearview mirror....so i guess no choice... I hv installed inside my car at higher location in boot and working fine
I kinda do want a constant camera rear view when my Outback is stacked to the ceiling with cargo. In fact this is the only reason I'm seeing this video
@Kip Wylie I also want this to be just a digital rear view mirror for my van. It already has the reverse cam with active guidance from factory. I think if the camera is powered via the rear running light then it may provide that function. I have no interest in dash cam, front or rear.
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
Mine freeze I can get it to work I tried pushing the reset small button in the back to unfreeze but it didn’t work it’s completely frozen I can’t get it to work
How is the video while the car is in motion? I work for a Cadillac dealership and Cadillac's have had something similar (video rearview mirrors) for several years but I can't use them. Something about the video when I look in the mirror almost makes me sick to my stomach particularly if looking at the mirror while going around a corner. Side to side motion is very strange.
Great analysis, thank you! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). How can I transfer them to Binance?
I may have missed in the video but when feeding the wires behind the airbag in the a-pillar, do you need to unplug the battery? Is there a chance of setting off the airbag if you don't unplug it? As well, what if you already have a backup camera installed in the car? Can the connections be similar? or does everything need to be re-wired? Thanks!
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. 🙂
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.
does this mirror not have Loop recording it fills up my memory card but I want it to Loop record does anybody know how to get it to do that or does it do it

Great video! Thanks for the thorough review! Also, from Tampa too! 👍
In a car its 12volt dc voltage so there is no 60hz or 50hz so it might be the frame rate
It’s the refresh rate ya goons
DC doesn't use "frequency", it is direct power versus alternating.

How is this mirror at night with potential glare from headlights from other cars?
Wouldn’t installing the camera outside be an issue in the winter with snow slush, salt? Is this all weather proofed? Thanks

Now if you get into accident and you're looking at the footage can you zoom in to someone's license plates to make the numbers out daytime and night
The footage is stored in the SD card. Once you insert that SD card in your computer or mobile you can zoom in and do basically anything as you can with a normal video.
I just ordered one of these. Looks like a real operation to install! I need this on the UK roads.😲😳 Ps.. Rain there I see .. Hi five that weather l🤣. Thanks for the video
Which wolfbox model is this?
I like the 900, but I see the 850, 840, 930, and 900, which are you testing?
so since it’s connected to the cigarette lighter im assuming the car has to be on for the camera to turn on or no
I just installed the GH40S for a youtube review as well and when the control menu comes up the "Play" and "Settings" icons are not highlighted so you cant press them. Have you ever had this issue?
i have similar mirror with hardware buttons. No option in the settings for mirroring rear view. Do you think those with touchscreen all have the option?
If you are using the GPS, does it display that on the screen?
Will the power cord reach the rear trunk? I have a Dodge charger and the fuse box and battery is in the trunk.
Can I put the fuse connections to the fuse box for keyed power so power on with key on and no power with key off instead of using the cig lighter for power please respond and thank you
What if I already have a backed up camera but still would want the rear view use.?
This is a very detailed video, thank you very much
You're welcome very much.
You just leave the hole you drilled open? No kind of grommet or seal the hole from water?
Can it function without the GPS installed? Many companies sell GPS data back to the auto insurance companies.
So the only way it will record while car is off. Is if you do the fuse install?
Does the recorded video playback show gps info like speed and location?
Yes i believe so but U need to connect to pc. I'll make another video about that for u.
Which wolf box would you recommend…g480s , g480h or g580
Hi i want to ask, i can't seem to find the recording of my rear view camera nor how to fix it cause it's not available in the settings. Is there any suggestion for this issue?
If you can't find a video then Sometimes recordings may be located in Event folder 📂.
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?
power button from hardwire kit
Thank for the helpful video but 1 Question does this have antitheft mode that come with it ?
i’m wondering if i should get one for my 2003 gmc sierra single cab. it i’m not sure if it’d work
Where can I get the fuse kit from the one you show in the video , due that my new truck doesn’t come with a cigarette lighter plug
I often drive my Outback with cargo storage filled to the ceiling. Can this function as a simple rear view mirror running only on the camera?
It looks like it can. I drove an old mustang with one of these.
Does it have the garage door opener ?
If I have the camera set to look behind me will it still record the front ?
So after using it how accurate is the GPS?
I need to know how change picture from back to front on the mirror
Thank you for this awesome video, but I have two question please…. How do I change the time and how can or can it be paired with my iPhone?
I would like to ask, while placing our car in reverse, does the camera automatically change to show the rear view?
yes
