Title: Great dash cam/smart rear-view mirror for the price
Review: TLDR: Your satisfaction with this item will depend on your need. If you want a all in one device - dash cam/rear camera/backup camera/GPS Speedometer/compass and the occasional rear camera view because your view is blocked - this is a must buy. But if you're planning on using this in rear camera mode all the time - this may not be the product for you.I was surfing YouTube one day and came across a video of a Smart Rear View Mirror and was intrigued. I have a midsize SUV and with the cargo area full of boxes, balloons or people, I can't see out of the rear view mirror. I always wanted a rear view camera as well and this crossed off a lot of my needs. We've come a long way when a touch screen product like this with all these features is a little over a hundred dollars. I went with the 12" because I saw how the 10" rear view mirrors had to extend the camera out so your original mirror doesn't block it. So it ends up being 12" anyway and doesn't look as clean. But I made sure I measured everything and that my sun visor wouldn't block it before getting the 12". After two weeks with the mirror, here is my list of Pros and Cons:Pros:-Quick install. I mounted the rear camera with the double sided tape to the glass of my SUV tailgate. That way it doesn't get dirty or wet. The higher position also reduces the camera being blinded by headlights straight on at night as opposed to it being mounted by your license plate.-At night, I find the screen at the lowest brightness works well. It's no brighter than the cars infotainment screen.-The large screen makes navigating and watching recordings easy. The UI was surprisingly easy to navigate.-Comes with a 32GB Mini SD Card so you're ready to go at the start. But I highly recommend getting a 64GB card, anything higher might cause issues.-One of the reviews said you couldn't set the screen to display mph or 12 hour time. I was able to set both, either they fixed it via a firmware update and the new ones are updated or some people are just not tech savvy.-My SUV already had a OEM crappy backup camera, so I didn't spend time tapping into the reverse light.-There isn't a app to wireless transfer the recordings. So you have to plug the miniSD card into a computer. -Navigating the folders to the files are pretty intuitive. But if you need to have both the front and rear recordings playing at the same time, you'll need to download their GV Player. Which I will add as a Con below.-Excellent and responsive customer service. Just make sure you email [email protected] and not what's listed in the manual.Cons:-Firmware. No mention anywhere how to update the firmware. I'll reach out to support to add me to the email list when new firmware is available.-Speed warning setting. Can't change it from kph to mph, but a firmware update in the future could fix this. Not that big of a deal, since you will only have to set this once.-No automatic brightness adjustments. In modern cars when the headlights come on, the tachometer and infotainment would dim accordingly. But I can see how this could be a liability as well.-I use this as a normal mirror, but with the time/date and GPS overlay on it. I have noticed the glare issue others have noted - especially when it's overcast (even with all my windows tinted -except the front). But since I'm not using the rear camera live video feed 100% of the time, it doesn't bother me. I was more interested in the rear dash cam ability.-I wish there was a saturation/hue and contrast setting, maybe in a future firmware update.-The GV Player has a little bit of a learning curve, especially when there is no manual. The user interface is also dated. I also couldn't figure out how to get the GPS portion working in the software.

Title: great quality and pricing
Review: installation instructions are OK, but a little hard to install the camera if it were installed outside the car. The video is excellent. Note, the cigarette lighter power source needs to be constant battery power, otherwise it will not function right . Most cars now a days the cigarette lighter socket is powered only when ignition is on!

Title: Itâs alright but not the best.
Review: Update 10/23/24Iâm changing the review for this dashcam because their customer support is amazing. Someone contacted me in regards to my issues with the dashcam and provided everything needed to make sure I was happy with it. Offered extra tips and tricks for installation and ultimately helped me in figuring out a solution.Now the only thing that has a downside to this date and something highly important is the lack of visibility from the rear cam when itâs installed outside and it rains. I unfortunately have to remove the dash cam to see out my car. I have this camera installed in two cars now after convincing my fiance in getting one too. My car is a Dodge Charger and her car is a Subaru Forester. Both rear cameras installed above the license plate and we both have issues with visibility when it rains. We are testing out the rain-x tip we found online and hope that helps.I shouldâve looked into reviews a little more and probably searched for something at a better price. But overall this dash cam is OK and hereâs why:1. The quality for the front camera is great, both at night and day.2. Videos are clear and you can read license plates3. The fact that you can adjust the camera view by simply touching on the screen and adjusting it, is a huge plus.4. Setting up and installing everything was easy peasy.Now for the downsides:1. The back up camera is TERRIBLE at night, especially if you have a car with dark tinted windows. You will NOT see anything at night. So if you drive at night a lot, Iâd consider installing the camera on your license plate frame.2. Playing back footage is so hard when you have to scroll past a thousand 1 mins videos because it records for 1 min and stops, then starts up again.3. Price. Not bad but considering the downsides but if I wouldâve know the night quality is this bad, I wouldâve gone with something cheaper.

Title: Highly Recommend
Review: The device came to me really fast and is packaged in very high quality packaging. Which shows me that it's a good company that cares about what they sell. The manuals are nice, easy to read and understand. I've installed mine in my small motorhome set up on, and as, my rear view mirror. I really had no visability at the rear until now. It displays a great picture of traffic behind me as well as a larger viewing area than a regular rear view mirror is capable of providing. Has multiple settings and ways of using/viewing. Makes my motorhome much safer and more comfortable driving. I would highly recommend this to anyone that is in need of a rear view camera. However, my motorhome is only about 20 feet. About the size of a large ambulance. I had just barely enough cable to make it from the camera to the device. Depending on your needs ID call the company to ask about a longer cable if you have a larger vehicle than mine. Maybe they can provide a length suitable for your needs and vehicle.

Title: 2024 tundra
Review: The mirror is great and works amazing, there are some minor flaws that could be improved but overall worth the price. There is a glare and I do recommend looking for an anti glare film. The only downside to the film is it does reduce the quality of image a bit so still looking for a better film. Other than that the hardwire kit is very complete and easy to install you can easily do it yourself if you do enough research on where to tap into your fuse box but the hardwire kit makes that easy. Customer service is also super helpful and can give great advice and tips. They will make sure you get quality service and Iâm happy to be a customer

Review: ** Updated**Ok, so I bought this based on the reviews.I originally gave it 3 stars, but upgraded it to 4 then 5, because of interactions with their service team, whom are very keen on making things right. I upgraded it again to 5 because their solutions and actions were great.So, now that I have this all installed, I went out in the deep darkness for a test.I thought that it works pretty good, but let me get into the details.Cameras:I found the original rear camera had a rather grainy image in the dark, but useable, I suppose I was expecting it to be a bit more of an eye into darkness than it turned out.Am I disappointed?; well no not really, maybe some⦠but I did think it should be a bit better than it is.Graininess shouldnât be affected even considering it was installed inside the rear hatch window. The forward image is great and itâs behind a windowâ¦So The next day it was sunny and I went for another drive. So now i find some new issues:When driving with the sun out, looking at the rear image, there is a lot of problem with reflections. I am guessing itâs because itâs mounted on the inside, oh well, for now that will have to do until I can figure out how to mount it outside in such a place that is useful, I may try adding a small black cardboard sun shade over the lens to see if that helps.I donât really want to mount it outside And offset from the hatch handle (the handle is right in the center) for several reasons, first being that I donât want it staring straight into the guy behind meâs headlights and second I donât want some punks walking by and seeing it dangling there and decide to damage it, rip it off or diddle with it. So inside it stays for now.** Update **Wolfbox customer service got in touch with me after they read my review and offered to ship me a new better model rear camera, it came very fast and now that itâs installed, i can say i like the rear image much better. Much less grainy.Front camera:I find the clarity and overall look and brightness are really great.Software:So when using the setup, I found a problem that bothers me. If you are dealing with the reflections and want to turn off the screen, and use it like a regular mirror, it stops recording if you are in the brightness mode.If you put it on âscreen off modeâ, that issue is avoided, because it turns off the screen and keeps recording after it stays lit for 30sec, so ok⦠but it would be nicer to have an onscreen button that you could do that with because now if iâm driving at night and want it on, you have to go into settings and monkey around to get it back to being on all the time⦠grrrr And then of course the screen is really dark in mirror only mode which is very sad. The manuals descriptions of the modes is poor.** Update **Tech support said that âquickâ touching the power button will also turn it off but allow for continuous recording in mirror only mode. Ok, that helps!I love the touch screen, and the software is clean and easy to use minus the issues I mentioned with the screen off options.I love how i only have to touch the screen like an iPad to move the image angle up or down.Also, the file system seems very weird. After reviewing the files on my computer it seems that I can see all the files as expected, you can only review forward files while on the mirror, I canât see any files for the rear camera on the mirror, only on the computer⦠not a deal breaker at all.Device body and design:Another issue I have is the very poor âthoughtâ design of the cables where they connect to the unit⦠3 different shapes and angles, you would think they would design it in such a way that they would all face the same direction and sit nicely side by side instead of all hap hazard⦠see pics. (iâll get a better pic soon)It would be nice if the PCB had the memory card to one side or the other rather than in-between the rear cam and gps wire connections. But not a deal breaker.GPS and LDWSI tried the gps gizmo and took it out - absolutely useless and distracting.Supplied cables and lengths.I have a 2013 grand caravan and I found the rear camera extension wire was âjustâ long enough, if i have to mount it down near the license plate it might not make it unless i routed it as a straight shot through the head liner rather than around the perimeter under the edges.Also, The front power wire is just barely long enough and i mean barely it would be nice to see it 6 inches or more longer.I originally bought a 10inch unit - and âthatâ was too small just incase youâre trying to figure out which one you need.Security Features:There is a consideration to make when you buy one of these you may need to know.It has to do with the leaving the camera on 24/7 on a non keyed 12v outlet, I tested the unit after i installed it and it is drawing about 0.3amps, so if you have a 45 or so amp hour battery, the battery will be dead or unable to start the car in about 3 to 6 days, so if you donât drive everyday - so as to recharge the battery, you might want to not bother with the security cam feature.If you do, you should get the adapter kit that is suppose to prevent drawing the battery out completely, but again, if you donât drive it everyday, that kit will only just cut off the battery so it doesnât kill it, and youâll still be not recording after maybe 4 - 6 days.However! - just to be clear, all this draining on a 24/7 recording program, is going to hurt your battery long term, because draining a flooded lead acid battery to 75% every 3 - 6 days is not good for it.You might want to get a heated LifepO4 lithium or at least an AGM battery rather than a basic lead acid flooded battery. But I am ranting here⦠this not the fault of the dash cam⦠you could buy your battery at costco and just replace it under warranty in 3 years if it gets weak.Or, maybe getting a small dedicated additional battery that you hide somewhere for the camera to draw from, which your alternator charges maybe with an isolator switch to have while your driving, just saying.That of course will likely have to be professionally installed to be useful. I just wouldnât bother.I am just going to use it in my keyed 12v outlet thanks, and for that it seems so far to be great. I find if i need security recording - i just switch the prong to my non keyed outlet for as long as i need it then i put it back.**Update**I received some info from tech support concerning the recording in off keyed mode, apparently they say that there is circuitry embedded that prevents it draining the battery past 12v. I knew I wasnât going anywhere over the holidays, So I put the adapter into my non keyed outlet and after 3 days my battery was stone dead at 8.4v - yup had to get a jump to start it.So I will leave it in the keyed adapter from now on, but regardless I still donât like the idea of leaving any sort of parasitic device eating away at my battery even if I am charging it every day.I know many of you are not electrically savvy and think that there is nothing to consider when making changes to your systems, that all is rosy and possible.As I said; if you do use it in non keyed mode or with it running straight off the battery AND you tend to not drive everyday, you should have something other than a lead acid battery installed, and the additional kit that protects the battery because LONGTERM your going to shorten your batteries life and unless you drive everyday, you are going to drain out.So overall - you canât go wrong buying this unit! Support is great, and the product is well thought out for the most part. I may be a bit weird about protecting batteries, but thatâs me. If youâre looking for a good dashcam mirror, this one is worth getting in my opinion.my 2cents

Review: The screen and touch responce is great. It has nice features. Front camera is pretty good but rearview is not as good after dark. Some pictures that are uploaded can be misleading and make you purchase a different model rather than what you want.More importantly, the customer support is phenomenal. They will fix any issue and make sure you are happy with the purchase and the brand. Happy to own a Wolfbox branded product.

Review: Voici une solution élégante pour conférer un nouvel élan à votre vénérable véhicule !La caméra, alimentée directement par le rétroviseur, facilite grandement son installation. Cependant, je crains que la qualité de la caméra laisse à désirer, étant en plastique et plutôt basique. Néanmoins, son rendu à l'écran en plein jour est des plus satisfaisants. Seul le temps nous dira comment elle résistera aux intempéries.Quant à la réactivité et la fluidité tactile de l'écran, elles sont remarquables. Dès sa mise sous tension, l'enregistrement des deux caméras se déclenche automatiquement. La possibilité de basculer entre les caméras ou de visualiser les deux simultanément est un atout indéniable. Un produit d'une praticité exemplaire !Une fois éteint, l'écran miroir donne l'illusion qu'il s'agit du rétroviseur d'origine. Je suis pleinement satisfait d'avoir installé ce produit, offrant une dashcam à la fois simple et efficace.rajout du 1er mars 2024le fournisseur mâa contacté pour un changement de caméra plus performante !lâexpédition à été très rapide et câest incomparable ! maintenant jâai une image de nuit magnifique ! encore merci de votre professionnalisme !une société qui mérite câest 5 étoiles !!!!merci a amber
