G850

This camera was really good when it worked. It would go into sleep mode and the only way I could get it out of that was to turn it off, then back on. About three times it would completely shut down, so I would have to pull the fuse and put it back in and it would turn back on. The brightness was bad on sunny days. It was also so heavy that it pulled the mirror mount off my windshield. That's when I just took it down. I got tired of fighting with this thing. It did take really good video and pictures, but I don't recommend this product. CHANGE: I changed my review here from a 3-star to a 5-star. The company contacted me about this review, apologized and made things right with me. They didn't have to do it. They told me that I likely got a unit that was faulty and offered to send me a new one. That being said, now I recommend this product because if there is something insufficient with it, the company went out of their way to make it right. I sincerely appreciate them doing that without me even asking. It's hard to find good customer service these days! Thank you!

I ended up getting the g850 after having glare issues during sunny day with the g930. Unfortunately Wolfbox doesn’t make anti glare film for the 10” product line. After installing the anti glare film on the g850 it pretty much took care of the glare issue and made it usable at any time of the day. Yes the video isn’t as crispy with the film on, but it has no effect on what’s being recorded so it’s not a big deal. I did notice a difference in the back camera at night. It was a lot better and the light blowout from headlights wasn’t as bad. I was actually able to see separations in headlights behind me unlike the non wdr rear camera where the headlights just blended together. I was lucky enough to get all types of weather in socal this week so I got to see how the camera did during sunny days, cloudy days and now rainy days. My particular concern was rainy days with the rear camera since I use it as my actual rearview. There were times where drops of water completely made it useless, but it only last for a few seconds if that. When it does get wet there’s a ton of light bleed from headlights, but again once you start moving it clears up. I would see this as an issue when you’re backing up into a drive way or parking spot and there’s no wind or movement to get the drop of water off the lens. Overall I’m very happy with the dash cam. This 12” version definitely has its benefits, one being the greater field of view you see on the screen and of course the WDR rear camera. The video recording is nice an clear on the front, but the back, since it’s 1080p, it’s obviously not as sharp an image but you’re able to make out license plates a slower speeds and stand still. Update: Finally got around to hooking up the wiring that engages the reverse camera and parking lines. Works great. I love how the video automatically angles lower to show more of the ground. If you drive a 2011 CT200H it’s the red wire that goes to the reverse light. Note: If you do plan on installing the anti glare film be ready for a headache. Lint central! Be patient and start at one end and press down the middle. I would list the film back up if I noticed bubbles caused by lint and removed it. Too some time, but eventually got done.

+This is a great dash cam. Picture quality is great in both directions. I really like the backup camera function with the parking lines. The playback quality is also great! It can also be used to review the recording for clarification of what passengers have said while in the car. +Installation was simple and straightforward for the wires. If you choose to mount the dash cam to the rear view mirror (RVM), this is quite easy as well with the straps provided. I had to be creative and mounted this to the dash using: old RVM, a toggle bolt, regular bolt and lock nut (underside not pictured), and a metal plate. Epoxy did not hold the old RVM to the plastic dash. -Sometimes, the newer LED headlights will appear to flicker, likely due to framerate. This can be distracting thinking that it is an emergency vehicle. --It does not function well at replacing the RVM. When used as a mirror, it is as if you are trying to look beyond the reflection- you have to train your eye to ignore the immediate information (reflection/camera display) and see the reflection in the glass behind as you would when you move the regular RVM at night when someone is using high beams behind you. The viewing angle is also much further away and you cannot see as much or in as much detail (speeds of other cars, distance of other cars) as you would with a regular RVM. I have the rear camera mounted just above the rear license plate. In terms of useful information for the driver, the RVM exceeds the Wolfbox rear camera view. -When driving at night, some of the newer headlights (i.e. Mercedes at night in the attached photos) can wash out the view. +/-When it rains, mist can accumulate on the rear camera causing some obscurity (see photo). This varied widely due to the amount of current rainfall. +I decided to mount this dash cam to the dash (go figure) instead of hooking to the RVM. I believe it functions a lot better this way and am happy with it. +/-First one, the power display button malfunctioned about a month in and would not respond. Everything else was working fine; I wanted to turn the display off for driving at night. Customer service was great, they sent out a new one and paid for shipping. TLDR; Great as a dash cam, not suitable as a rear view mirror replacement.

I first saw this system mounted on a Lyft rideshare SUV and decided to try it on my 2002 Chevrolet Suburban; a truly old technology vehicle with regard to visual aids and navigation systems. Arthritis in my neck impairs my ability to turn my head and once in use the wide view camera image viewed on the screen/mirror made a huge improvement in visual detection of vehicles/objects/people around the rear of the truck under all driving situations. The only limitation to me is the objects are actually closer than they appear due to the wide angle camera lens. To avoid this I modified the mounting by modifying a Iottie cell phone holder to mount the G850 screen on the surface of the dashboard just below the top mounted rear view mirror. This gives me a true distance view through the usual mirror and a wide angle view through the G850 camera. Service with Wolfbox has been exceptional. Three months after installation in my Suburban the truck was stolen from in front of my house. Although recovered by police 7 days later the G850 was taken. I called Wolfbox and they very generously replaced it with a new unit free of charge that I will install as soon as the truck is returned from the repair shop. I am so impressed with the G850 functions and enhanced visual safety I have installed one using the same method on my 2018 Chrysler Pacifica mini-van. My wife loves it too because of the increase in visual awareness especially when parking in store parking lots with people and cars all around. Installation is easy and simple unless you want to directly wire it to your fuse panel and is a easy do it yourself job. Even in the large Suburban the video camera cable that comes with the kit is long enough to do the installation at the midline located rear view mirror or on the dash just below it. With the current pricing on Amazon this is a great deal in a front view/rear view recording video camera system for your car.

This is a great camera system. Mirror dash cams are definitely a different breed but in a good way. Almost everything I dislike about regular dash cams are not an issue with this WolfBox 850 model. I installed the camera and all accessories myself. It was a big deal to get the rear camera installed, location, wiring, tapping into the reverse light power, but that is true for all rear camera installations. One could always take to a professional if needed. The end result is awesome and totally worth my time. I am so impressed with the touch screen functionality. All settings, viewing, playback, switching cameras are immediately accessed via touch screen, and mirror dash cams do not take up more window real estate which I like. The picture is great and can be adjusted up or down as needed when recording. If you need to look at files on a PC, the WolfBox Player works great and has map tracking capability. I installed the hardwire kit for parking monitoring (only up to 24 hrs) and collision capability. When the mirror cam is off, the reflection is a little on the dark side, but it gets the job done for my needs. I really do not want to use the screen saver as I would rather constantly see the rear video stream. I do, however, have one issue with how the front mirror cam attaches to my old mirror. My mirror has OnStar buttons that protrude along the bottom. Therefore, my mirror is not straight across the bottom, and it keeps the mirror cam from fitting perfectly (see pic). The attaching mounts should be about an inch more apart or offset a little since the camera lens is on one end of the mirror cam, thus keeping it from being centered on the old mirror. Also, larger mirrors will stick out on the other side slightly. I contacted customer service and they were the simply outstanding! My solution was to use their mirror mounting bracket (see pic). This bracket replaces my old mirror completely. I will lose OnStar capability, but that is not an issue for me because I do not use it. Hands free calling still works with the OEM mirror removed. I am completely satisfied with this mirror dash cam. Not everyone will need to replace their mirror, but it is a clean look to do so, and it increases the awesomeness and functionality of this mirror dash cam system.

I am really impressed with this Mirror Dash Cam (Front & Rear). Here are my Pros and Cons: Pros: Camera (picture) quality is very sharp, colors are perfect. There are 3 quality settings; Front Only = 24 FPS; 2160P Front Only = 30 FPS; 1440P - smoothest playback Front Only = 24 FPS; 1080P Front & Rear = 24 FPS; 2160P + 1080P - a little jerky during playback because of the details in the pictures Front & Rear = 30 FPS; 1440P + 1080P - smoother playback since more frames per second Front & Rear = 24 FPS; 1080P + 1080P – keeps the playback of the 2 cameras in sync better Download the FREE WolfBox Player or play the recordings directly from any video player that supports .TS files (most players do) Both of the camera’s day or night recordings are extremely clear and can easily read license plates Abundant Settings to control the cameras (see attached picture) Loop Recording increments of 1- or 3-minute segments, oldest recordings are overwritten by the newest recordings 128 GB card = approx. 11 hours of recordings before being overwritten. but since it loops you could get by with a smaller card. The 128 GB SD micro card is around $17 on Amazon for Samsung U3 A2 V30. Audio quality seemed fine. Can hear my music, any talking, and engine accelerating Hardwire Kit required for Parking Mode and IMO is a MUST HAVE as it turns off the camera when you get out, but still supplies power to record if the Parking Mode G-Force sensor is triggered and it doesn’t drain your car battery. The Rear Camera includes a red wire that connects to any reverse light that shows the back-up lines when in Reverse I put this camera in my Silverado 2500 Long Bed Crew Cab mounted to the inside rear-view mirror. There was plenty of extra wire for the power (both in the supplied cigarette lighter and also the hardwire kit). For the rear camera cabling I used the 33-foot (10 meters) extension cable and it was enough to run from the rear-view mirror, into the door molding to go outside and under the truck, hiding the wire all the way to the bumper with plenty of cable left over. Thankfully they include a plastic trim spacer tool that helps tuck the wire into the trim moldings. Easy to deploy firmware updates I love the 12-inch display (inside mirror) for the picture quality and also the Touch Screen for selecting the various options. Fantastic Customer Support responds within 24 hours to each email and are genuinely concerned, kudos!!! Cons: Hardwire Kit, took a little over an hour to install, but worked perfectly the first time I initially had an issue with playback on Windows 10 desktop using GPS Player or using WolfBox Player had no audio. I finally discovered a setting for Spatial Sound (new in Win10) set to OFF by default. Change setting to "Windows Sonic" or to "Dolby Atmos" and that allowed the audio to play perfectly. Search Google for how to easily change that setting for Windows 10. G-Force detection set to LOW creates recordings when hitting bumps while driving and even shutting doors. Medium seems to eliminate False Triggers and is sufficient to monitor Parking Mode triggers. Must mount the Rear Camera with Flat side UP or the recording is inverted Day Light Savings setting manually moves the time forward or backward, it’s not set automatically Hope this review helps someone deciding if this camera is right for them.

I have been living without a working front and rear dashcam for a while and had been eyeballing this Wolfbox G850 for a bit. I installed it in my 2018 Kia Optima EX and I gotta admit, it was both pretty easy and it looks/fits great in the vehicle!! Installation: If Kia or if your vehicle has MICRO fuses, use this: https://www.amazon.com/WOLFBOX-Hardwire-Parking-Multiple-connectors/dp/B09X9F8GMT due to multiple adapters. Otherwise, if your vehicle has MINI fuses you can go with https://www.amazon.com/WOLFBOX-Hardwire-Parking-Multiple-connectors/dp/B09X9F8GMT/ which is the standard USB C Hardwire kit for MINI fuses. I installed this by hiding the wires within the liner of the vehicle on the windshield and down the trim line for the USB C Hardwire, GPS, and Rear Camera cabling. A little more wires than I'd love, but with all the attachments, it's necessary (Wish GPS could just be build into the mirror!). I was able to route the cable to the rear camera through the inside of my vehicle and I ran it through the trunk lid liner and popped the cable out through the same hole as my license plate light. It was a tight fit, and doesn't allow the light to fully seat, but it's minimal and I don't anticipate any moisture intrusion. If observed, i'll likley place some putty or foam to keep the moisture out. The directions are super simple to follow and the Camera itself looks GREAT. It has numerous features such as speed minder (alert), flipping the camera view or mirroring it, etc. You can see both the front and rear cameras simultaneously OR you can have it show one or the other -- simply swipe to the left or right to cycle through the different views. The 4K quality both front and rear are impeccable. You can download Wolfbox's software for video viewing/editing directly on their website as well, which makes editing and posting the videos a breeze! I did have to use the MICRO FUSE adapters, and Wolfbox's customer service took care of me via WhatsApp in less than 24 hours and had an alternative item shipped to me quickly for the installation. I am in love with these cameras for numerous reasons: Video Quality, product quality, ease of installation, size of cables (easy to hide), hardwire option, and customer service.

I really like this type of dash cam. I put this in my wife's Audi. She loves it. The vehicles behind you are much closer than they appear, more so than the passenger side mirror. But has a great wide view of what is behind you. We don't use it for backing up or depth to backup. The side mirrors and the factory backup cam system give a great 360 view. We bought it for the unobstructed rear view while driving and the recording features. Works great at night. My biggest gripe and the reason for 4 stars is, it comes with a 12v acc. plug for power. This isn't a suction cup mounted dash cam that doesn't have other cameras with wires nicely routed. Where you put it in whatever vehicle you want to drive that day. This has wires for cameras, GPS and power. In my opinion, it's not the kind of system you plug in with a 12v acc. plug . In this vehicle the outlet for the 12v outlet is quite inconvenient. To me that plug was just E-waste. It should come with a hardwire harness and no 12v plug. Having to spend more money to wire, IMO the "correct" way is just wrong. Over all I really like it. Unfortunately had to buy a hard wire harness for my other vehicle I installed one in as well. I have 2 other vehicles I would like to get Wolfbox cams for, but won't until they swap the power solution. I think it's a waste to spend more money to wire and throw away power plugs. One other thing, it would be nice if there was a 60fps option. Maybe in a firmware update?

Muy buen producto y calidad en mi experiencia a veces tarda mucho en comenzar a grabar, tiene muy buena calidad de grabación en 4K y en la cámara trasera cuando hay demasiado calor se ve distorsionada la imagen, le afecta el extremo calor, la frontal sin problemas que le afecte el calor extremo.

I recently purchased the Wolfbox G850 12" Dash Cam and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed! This dash cam is an absolute game-changer when it comes to capturing high-quality footage on the road. It has exceeded my expectations in every way, making it an outstanding addition to my vehicle. First and foremost, the clarity of the video recordings is simply remarkable. The G850 records in full HD 1296p resolution, ensuring that every detail is captured with utmost precision. Even during low-light conditions, the dash cam manages to deliver crystal clear footage, guaranteeing that no crucial information is missed. The 12" screen is another standout feature of this dash cam. It offers a large and vibrant display, making it effortless to review the recorded footage without straining your eyes. The user-friendly interface is simple to navigate, allowing for quick and easy access to various settings and playback options. One of the aspects I appreciate the most about the Wolfbox G850 is its wide-angle lens. With a 170-degree field of view, it guarantees that every corner of the road is covered. This wide perspective ensures that no crucial event goes unnoticed, providing me with a sense of security and peace of mind during my journeys. The built-in GPS system is an added advantage, enabling accurate tracking of my speed and location. This information can be crucial in case of an accident or dispute, ensuring that I have concrete evidence to support my claims. Furthermore, the G850 includes a parking monitor feature, which automatically turns on and starts recording when any movement or impact is detected while the vehicle is parked. This valuable function offers an additional layer of security, making it an ideal choice for those concerned about their vehicle's safety. Lastly, the overall build quality and design of the Wolfbox G850 are exceptional. It feels sturdy and durable, capable of withstanding the rigors of daily use and adverse weather conditions. The installation process was a breeze, thanks to the included suction cup mount and the long power cable. In conclusion, the Wolfbox G850 12" Dash Cam has truly exceeded my expectations. Its outstanding video quality, user-friendly interface, wide-angle lens, built-in GPS, parking monitor, and overall reliability make it an absolute must-have for any driver concerned about their safety and peace of mind. I highly recommend this dash cam to anyone in search of a top-notch product that offers exceptional performance.

No wifi function No parking monitoring function

It just does what it promises! Works as a good reverse cam and dash cam - Keeps the driving record safe. However, as a rear view mirror, it is sometimes challenging. Mainly when it's a sunny day time, the glare is so heavy that you cannot see the car behind your car. Also when it rains heavily, the rain water drops in the camera lens creates blurry display. Decent item - For the cost, I wish the two complaints mentioned never existed.

It's a very well-thought-out product. I am genuinely impressed by some features such as: 1. Both Front and Rear dash cams are continuously recording footage. Both streams are saved as individual files. 2. You can swipe on the display screen of this dash cam, to switch between front view and rear view, or even to have both views side by side. This doesn't affect the actual footage, it's just the display configuration that gets changed, not the recording configuration. 3. If you have connected the rear camera red wire with your car's reverse prompt wire, the display will switch to rear view reverse cam and lane guidelines shall appear. Thus if your car doesn't already have a reverse camera, this can act as a reverse camera. However, if your car already has a reverse camera, you don't need to use it as your reverse camera and can install it high up on the rear window. I installed it inside the glass. But it can be installed outside the glass too. It took me a little bit to get used to because of a sudden change in perspective of the rearview mirror. Also, it feels a bit weird not being able to look at the passengers in the car through the mirror (because the camera is outside the car). Maybe I'll buy a small convex mirror to put somewhere, just for the sake of being able to check rear view within the car too.
