WOLFBOX G850 12" 4K Rear View Mirror Camera with 5.8GHz WiFi and Voice Control, Smart Mirror Dash Cam Front and Rear, Backup Camera with 1080P, Dash Cam with WDR, Includes 64GB Card & GPS

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.

This is a well-rounded, but imperfect kit. I bought it for a 2010 Nissan Maxima without a stock backup camera. I don't actually care about the dashcam portion or recording people behind me; I just want to not drive into things while reversing. Evaluated as a mechanism to tape other motorists doing dumb things, this Wolfbox is great. As a backup assist, it's lackluster. Installation took about four hours over two sessions with the hardware kit. Ten minutes was attaching and adjusting the mirror. It mounts offset by an inch (the dashcam sticks out too much to center it), but securely with the rubber straps. (Subsequent to this review, I bought Wolfbox's bracket to replace my factory mirror. This would have been easy, except I had to reduce the length of the included screws with a bench grinder.) An hour was the hardwire kit, in part because I had to use a multimeter to differentiate ACC slots from always-on and do a bit of troubleshooting. Each of the included fuse taps has two fuse holes, but a single fuse. They need two to operate. You're meant to pull an existing fuse and use it. My box was compatible with both micro and mini-style fuse taps, so I just borrowed a fuse from the unused tap for each and used blank slots. Three hours was pulling panels and trunk liner to run the rear wire. It required significant disassembly of my trunk. It would have been a lot easier to mount it inside on the rear window, for which the including adjustment bracket was apparently designed. Mounting above my license plate, the 20' wire included had an extra three feet for my car. There's a 33' wire for longer vehicles or less direct wire runs. The connector is four-pin and proprietary. Some notes after installation: * Camera image quality seems quite good. Sharp and bright. Minimal noise visible on the screen at night. Glare is minor at night unless it rains. With water on the lens, headlights cause severe reflections, though the lens does eventually dry. * The mirror LCD is good. Not great. The brightness range is narrow (could be brighter) and there's no light sensor, so you'll be fiddling with it when the sun goes down. In broad daylight, the picture doesn't quite overcome the mirror reflection, so I tend to leave the LCD off. Viewing angles are good. Color depth is low (you can see posterization or dithering in some gradients). Touch-response is adequate. * The UX is a bit dated compared to what I've seen in some videos. It hides functionality based on what's detected (rear camera, GPS), which is confusing; I thought I'd bought a cut-down version until everything was plugged in. You can't turn off the blinking record icon and timer or the GPS overlay. Boot time from a cold start (i.e., any time after the 12 or 24-hour time-lapse parking function has ended) is 7 or 8 seconds. * With the LCD off, this is a dim, but functional mirror. It's a little darker than I'd like at night, though headlight glare is minimal as a result. I do like that it's significantly larger than my stock mirror. You can leave the LCD on and still see people behind you depending on where your eyes are focusing, but it's a little unnatural. The button to turn the LCD off is accessible on the bottom and responsive. All that aside, let's talk about the backup camera. I don't love it. With stock cameras, you see your bumper and the horizon. This camera isn't wide enough to do that and show it onscreen. If it's mounted with the camera straight out, you won't see your bumper even if you pan down on the LCD. That's the only way it can be mounted unless you buy or make an angled mount; the one it comes with is the wrong orientation to tilt the camera down (unless mounted inside the rear window). If you tilt the camera down to show your bumper at the lowest pan, the highest pan is a little too low to see the horizon. The overlay markers only show up if you've attached the reversing wire. They don't dynamically update as you pan and they're not useful at all with the camera mounted on the trunk. I suspect they'd be a lot better with the camera mounted to the rear window, because you could actually line up the markers to the shape of your car with adequate overlap and you wouldn't ever need to pan. Mounting this camera this way is likely to have more glare and poorer low-light performance, though. In sum: despite the instructions and various guides describing an external location for the rear camera, the included mount and the overlay markers seem designed for a rear window mount. I'd probably give it 4.5 stars for that, but only 4 otherwise.

I got this Wolfbox camera for a very good price, and replaced my older (technically illegal) Z-Edge dual dash cam with it. It's about the same price as the Z-Edge, but has a much larger screen, better interface, and like I said is not illegal. The reason some Dash cams are illegal is that they partially obstruct the windshield (like my Z-Edge). The Wolfbox is fantastic because it actually attaches to your rearview mirror and does not obstruct any of your view of the road. Accessories and additional items included in the box(the dashcam is obviously included): Silicon attachments (use these to hold the dashcam on the mirror, there are smaller ones for smaller mirrors which I used, and larger ones for larger mirrors) Microfiber cloth to clean the screen Power cord Rear camera GPS attachment User manual Installation: As mentioned, you just attach the silicon stretchy brackets to the upper back hooks of the dashcam, hang it over your mirror, and then attach the lower part of the brackets to the lower hook on the dashcam. You then can attach the power cord and rear view camera wire and run them behind your paneling (I attached pictures and a video with a brief summary of how I ran my wires). Plug in the GPS (attach somewhere out of the way with the 3m tape), and then plug in the cigarette lighter adapter. Voila! You are good to go. Don't forget to take the protective plastic off the cameras (not that I have ever forgotten that haha). Great features that are included: General direction you are driving (N for north, SE for southeast etc.) Time and Date Speed Screen Saver mode (in Screen Display under settings, talk more about this later) Sensitivity adjustment (how big of a bump you want for the camera to recognize a "crash") Brightness adjustment (turn it down to low, or use screen saver mode if you want to use the camera as a mirror instead, talk more about this later) A very responsive touch screen Button to take a picture Change resolution (options are 4k, 2.5k, and 1080p. Default is 2.5k.) Loop time of the recordings (options are 1 min, 3 mins, 5 mins. Default is 1 min) Whether you want to record audio or not. Option to attach the reverse line so the camera will automatically turn on the reverse camera when reversing Can flip the rear camera (this means you can install it upside down or rightside up if you want) Important things to note: Running the dashcam requires a small amount of technical skill. Not much, since I am not super car savvy. However, if you want to setup the cameras in the best position possible you may have to get creative (I'll talk more about this later). HOWEVER, if you want the rear camera to automatically turn on in reverse, you have to splice or crimp the red reverse line into your reverse lights. This requires the correct tools and know how, which I did not have. I had to get a mechanic friend of mine to install it. He also installed the rearview mirror on the outside of my vehicle, above the license plate. To do this, he had to drill a hole behind the rear lights, run the wire through there and then out with the license plate light. If you do this, make sure you don't drill a large hole and then you weatherproof the hole with some sort of rubber, otherwise water will get in and rust out the car. This dash cam functions as both a mirror and a dashcam. What I mean by this is that if the screen is off, it will act as a rear view mirror and you can see through the window behind you. If the screen is on, it will still show the rear view AS WELL as the footage on the camera. This can be a bit distracting, so what I do is I choose to put my Wolfbox in "Screen Saver" mode in the settings options. This turns off the camera while I am driving, but leaves on the nice features like direction and speed. My friend who also has this camera, instead chooses to just leave the camera on but have the rear view on all the time. Essentially he uses the camera instead of a mirror. One thing to note if you do this, is that cars will be closer than they look in the camera. The manual is written with poor English grammar, and does not explain the features well. It requires some trial and error to figure everything out yourself. Installing the rear camera in the recommended position above the license plate means that cars behind you shine their lights directly into the lens. This can make it hard to capture details of the car behind you at night. PROS: Lots of great features Large screen with nice touch interface Clear picture Relatively easy to install Legal Easy to use Option to use as a rear view mirror, or use the rear camera to see behind your vehicle. Cons: Poor grammar in manual Hard to see license plates at night The camera lens quality is good but not great, resulting in a picture that is useable but not as clear as I might like. Overall my cons are mostly just nitpicks, and I think this is a fantastic camera. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone interested in installing their own dash cam. A really cool feature they could add is Google maps functionality that displays google maps on the camera. That way I wouldn't even need my phone anymore. But that would require adding some totally different programming, so it's mostly just my own wish!

Note: I have been informed that the hardware has changed since I posted this review. Please note that this is for the first gen G850. I've had a few dashcams, but this is my first mirror dash cam. I was worried how this would work as a mirror replacement, but my concerns were unfounded. Even with the screen on, I can see either the content in the mirror or the content on the screen based on where my eyes focus. It works surprisingly well. With the screen off, the mirror functions satisfactorily also. Software/Functionality: The UI is intuitive and easy to understand. The camera properly switches to the rear when reversing, and switches the screen back on if it was off. You can switch between cameras, and you can set a default view. The screen has a timeout functionality which is disabled by default. You can have it fully turn off the screen, or have it enter a screensaver mode, which leaves the screen on; but only displays the direction and speed. I prefer to use the screensaver mode. You can tap the power button once to shut the screen off. It will turn back on when reversing, by tapping the power button, or touching the screen. Cons: There is no indicator on the camera that it is on if the screen is off. This makes it very easy to leave on and recording after you've shut the car off. This can be avoided by leaving the screen on or in screensaver mode, but that can make it a bit difficult to use the mirror part at night. Screen: The screen is nice and clear and the screensaver mode is great (shows direction, speed, and time only). Cons: The screen is a bit bright at night even in screen saver mode. An OLED screen would rectify this, but would likely increase the cost too much. There does not appear to be any auto-brightness adjustment, meaning the brightness must be manually adjusted based on the time of day. Camera: The front camera provides 4K, 2.5K, and 2K video options. 4K video has slightly more detail than 2.5K, but only runs at 25 FPS. 2.5K will record at 30 FPS. For this reason, I prefer to use the 2.5K video option. It is difficult to read license plates unless they are close and off to the side, likely due to distortion from the wide angle lens. Video Quality is satisfactory at night. Cons: 25 FPS for 4K recording. Rear Camera: The rear camera records in 1080p video. It is difficult to read license plates, likely due to distortion from the wide angle lens. The software supports installing the rear camera in different positions depending on your use case. Cabling: Includes plenty of cabling for most cars. I was even able to run the power cable to my rear outlet. Cons: Requires a dedicated outlet and the power adapter provides no extra USB ports. Will not even power off a USB PD port. GPS: The GPS grabs satellites quickly and seems accurate.

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 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.

Camera is great but had a few issues. The fuse taps that they provided (specifically the low profile mini fuse tap) was loose and would fall out easily. Had to DIY it a little bit for it to stay in the fuse port. Another one is that the rear camera at night is not the greatest and can be blurry/grainy with bad clarity. In day time it’s great. Would consider upgrading to the G900 pro if you want better camera clarity at night. Has good recording and I like the parking mode. The cable length was long enough to route along my car. I used the hardwire kit and the installation was pretty straightforward. If you can catch this on sale it’s a good investment and value.

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.

رهيبة وجودتها ممتازه والرؤية فيها واضحه خصوصا فالليل

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.
