      @@74osho Hi Dawg! ! The G840H uses the GC4653 sensor. There are currently no mirror dash cams with Starvis 2 sensors (the adoption of this sensor has been slow on traditional dash cams so it is likely we won't see a Starvis 2 mirror dash cam for a while. Cheers!

    Perfect!
    This video covers it all, it's fast paced, with no procrastination. It is not overly verbose. It displays solid production standards - picture and sound. It's easily comprehensible and has better than good English. This is a lot of work and it's a densely packed 16 mins.

    Great video! I really like how you explain things Alex. Nicely done. I do find myself very confused though when ascertaining the Wolfbox product lineup. For me, their website and product guide really do not break down their model "specs" very well. It's confusing. In other words, why would I go with the G840H when there is the G850? (Not to mention all the "T" models.)
    I think perhaps you may think about doing a video on the best "budget". "Mid-range", and "High-End" models. I would venture to say - Many viewers just want the best model based upon the specs and price. Perhaps you could shed some light on why a certain model is a better value etc. Thanks again! 👍

    • @AlexAutoFun
      @AlexAutoFun  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you John! Yeah i agree, the done some good updates to the website to clean it up and show the difference between the models but I think it can still be improved. The G850 has higher video quality than the G840H. Here is the full review for it th-cam.com/video/7UbJk32_k5Y/w-d-xo.html And the G840H is for those that want WiFi over picture quality but I really like your idea of a video explaining each one, will work on one for sure, stay tuned, Cheers!

    Have been using mine and wanted to ask about the following:
    1. When you take a picture. Does the picture you take from both cameras or just of the view you have in the mirror at the time? 2. When driving the mirror image has sort of a grayish tone over it. Have done some moving of the mirror but grayish tone still there? 3. You mention about the REC mode. After your vehicle is parked and turned off. Does both cameras continue recording and when you restart your vehicle do you once again have to restart REC mode? Thanks for the clarification and keep up the great videos!

    • @AlexAutoFun
      @AlexAutoFun  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you Robert! Ah yes when you take a picture, it captures both the front and rear camera at the same time. Regarding grey tone, as shown on the video mine does not have this. However you may be seeing the infamous mirror dash cam glare (which affects what we perceive as brightness), unfortunately all mirror dash cams are plagued by this to an extent (is just part of the nature of a screen also being used as a mirror when the LCD panel is off). However here is what I found works good to reduce it and increase visibility of the mirror dash cam screen. 1st is window tint (sides windows only not on the rear if camera is mounted inside the car). 2nd I aim my mirror dash cam down towards the rear seats so I don't get the reflection of the bright outside (this assumes your are using the dash cam with the screen on). Cheers!

    • @AlexAutoFun
      @AlexAutoFun  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You're welcome S! Ah I have tested a couple ones that do have Android Auto. However so far my opinion on this is that I found it uncomfortable to look up to my mirror to see a map vs looking at my mounted phone or the screen on my vehicle if your car has a stereo that supports navigation. The other issue is that Android Auto on a mirror takes up half the mirror screen so now the portion used for the mirror function is now small which maybe ok for backing up but difficult to use for a full time rear view mirror. If you want to experience a small screen rear view mirror before buying an Auto Android mirror here is an affordable choice th-cam.com/video/4bufdIcH8Bk/w-d-xo.html And here is a larger unit that does have Android Auto th-cam.com/video/a8-stj3H2Mk/w-d-xo.html Cheers!

    • @AlexAutoFun
      @AlexAutoFun  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi Omar! Mirror Dashcams do not feature auto dimming. This is due to the mirror being an LCD screen when turned on, so you don't get your eyes blinded by the headlights from rear vehicles since what your are seeing is not a real reflection, what you are seeing on the screen is what the rear camera is seeing (assuming the mirror is used with the LCD screen on and the mirror is not aimed at your eyes since the screen is still reflective).

I imagine it would be easy except for the rear view camera. Maybe there's an entry point for the cable on most cars that would not require modification to the car. Maybe the truck lid could be shut over the cable. What do you think about this odd question!?

The G900 is Wolfbox's flagship dashcam so it's video quality will exceed the G840H (and price will be higher). If you want Wifi then G840H will be the way to.

Normally mirror dash cams have the opposite effect of making things appear farther (due to the wide angle view they provide over normal mirrors) But yes there was an extremely rare version of the G850 that supported zoom in and zoom out, here is the video for it th-cam.com/video/-ij02UzQWO0/w-d-xo.html If you happen to be lucky enough to have scored a G850 V1 then you possibly have mirror zoom enabled bringing the image very close.

      Hi L! Glad to hear that. Ah to connect to the WIFI, you would connect the same way you would connect to your internet router, in your phone settings you would select the dash cam's WIFI and connect to it (make sure the Dash Cam's Wifi is also On as some dash cams allow you to turn it off). If you are still having issues I would recommend contacting your installer, they can likely walk you thru how to connect to the dash cam's Wifi. I would also recommend taking a look at the manual or contacting Wolfbox for tech support, they may also be able to walk you thru the process of connecting to a Wifi network. Cheers!

    Great update....Given the changes to the G840H with the wifi capability, increased memory card storage capability and adjustable parking assistance, why would I buy the G900? Up until watching this video, that was my plan for my new Leisure Travel Van Unity (MB chassis) motorhome. What am I missing in features between the "new" G840H and the current G900?

    • @AlexAutoFun

      Thank you Greg! Ah good question. The G900 is still Wolfbox's flagship mirror dash cam, it has higher picture quality than the G840H and also supports 256Gb (the memory capacity on G900 was also been upgraded recently). I would say go for the G840H if you need Wifi App support or go for the G900 if you want the highest picture quality and advanced parking mode features. And here is the full review for the G900 so you can compare it against the G840H th-cam.com/video/eNK6ujrWWkA/w-d-xo.html Cheers!

      Thank you Dean! Correct, it locks the video. I say flag because on my older reviews people who are not familiar with dash cams didn't understand the term Lock as far as what it means on dash cams (or what loop recording is) But yes the lock function prevents the video from being overwritten (on most dash cams) and it also places the video on a separate folder for easier retrieval.

    • @AlexAutoFun
      @AlexAutoFun  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi Patrick! Ah yes the infamous glare, unfortunately all mirror dash cams are plagued by this to an extent, due to the limitations of current video sensor technology (actually I posted about this subject on the channel, check under Community if you want to read it). What I usually do to minimize glare is I mount the rear camera as high as possible and I aim it slightly down. If mounted low and horizontal to the cars behind you, the camera faces the headlights of coming vehicles directly which can exacerbate the glare issue (same as someone shinning a light directly to your eyes). High mounting and tilt has helped me reduce the glare but won't eliminate it completely. And I have another video coming up where I cover this method in more detail, stay tuned. Cheers!

      Hi Avinash! The LCD mirror is installed on top of the original mirror, here is my video showing the full install th-cam.com/video/IYRavaIBmSY/w-d-xo.html Regarding warranty, you would want to check your State's law. In my State supposedly the law prevents a Dealer from denying warranty if someone added something to their car or worked on their own car as long as whatever was added or the work that was done was not the cause of the failure. So let's say you put window tint on your car and your transmission fails, it would be difficult for the dealer to deny it because they tint or the tint install did not affect the transmission. But as simple as that sounds, there are horror stories of dealers not honoring warranty if they see a modification claiming it is what led to the failure. Some owners had to take them to court or complained directly to manufacturer (since dealers are typically independently owned) to get their warranty honored. Cheers!

We also don't know the long term aspects (both operational and safety) of mixing components/brands. There is also the issue of which components will actually appear to work at first but fail later due to mixing since sometimes small differences between the products while looking the same from the outside are important (I had a viewer fry his new rear camera because the old wiring connections looked same as his prior rear dash cam) Cheers!

Ah yes to the untrained eye some mirror dashcams appear to be same, here is my teardown video, where I explain why dash cams look similar and their actual differences th-cam.com/video/GQZne5fsWw0/w-d-xo.html There are some huge differences in performance between 2 dash cams that may share components or form factor: for example the CMOS sensors being used, SOC, ISP, AHD Receiver, lens construction (number of layers, view degrees, lens aperture, materials such as glass, plastic or combination of both) SOC being used etc. And here is another one with detached cameras th-cam.com/video/OiqMW1RKCYU/w-d-xo.html Cheers!@@5FWS5

    I have installed dashcam by professional with hard wiring but once I turn my car off camera get off and doesn't record until I start the car again.
    Any suggestions please

      Hi Naeem! When correctly hardwired (including the correct hardwire kit) the dash cam will enter park mode if enabled in the dash cam's setting when the car is off. I would have the installer check all the connections (ACC, BATT & GND) to confirm that they connected to the correct locations for ACC and BATT (I seen cases where the dash cam does not enter park mode, if turned off in the settings menu or if ACC and BATT are connected to the incorrect locations that does not provide power at the correct time for both ACC and BATT) Here is my follow up detailed hardwire install if you want to see that process th-cam.com/video/K2iKXj82354/w-d-xo.html Cheers!

      Thanks very much,Alex, for your reply,
      I have installed G840H unit new model, and I have 2022 Ford Lightning electric truck,
      May be the installer never got a chance to work on this vehicle, and personally, I think yellow wire is on the wrong spot. I will go back to the technician to double-check the connection.
      I have turned on the parking mode for 24 hours.
      That means connection is wrong or unit itself.
      Just one more question: Is this unit supposed to record continuously after you shut off the car, or is it recorded by the G sensor.
      Thanks, i really appreciate your reply.

      @@rohannaeem123 You're welcome! Yeah start with the installer and also contact Wolfbox if you need more tech support. EV's are challenging for some installers as they are not as common as ICE vehicles and some are very sensitive to having anything tap into the EV's electrical systems. But yes when correctly hardwired (including using the correct hardwire kit) the dash cam will enter time lapse park mode if enabled in the dash cam's setting when the vehicle is off. If you need G sensor triggered Parking monitor you will want to go for the G900, here is my full review for it th-cam.com/video/eNK6ujrWWkA/w-d-xo.html Cheers!

    Hi sir! I recently bought the Wolfbox G840H and had my mechanic install it, but everytime I turn on the car, the mirror cam does not automatically turn on. My mechanic wired it on the fuse lower left of the steering wheel(not sure what its called), not on the cigar port. How can it turn on automatically when I start my car? I tried turning it off and on by pressing and holding the power button while the car is turned on, but still the same, it won't automatically turn on when I turn on my car.

      Hi Young! Ah something is definitely connected incorrectly. When correctly hardwired (with the official hardwire kit) the dash cam will turn off when the car is off and turn on when the car is on. I would have the installer check all the connections (ACC, BATT & GND) to confirm that they connected to the correct locations for ACC and BATT and that the correct hardwire kit was used. Here is my follow up detailed hardwire install if you want to see the hardwire process th-cam.com/video/K2iKXj82354/w-d-xo.html Cheers!

    I buy this 840H 1 year ago, but my camera i thing have a old sistem, because i dint even have the wifi conection, only wifi conection is missing😢

    Hi!, many years ago we exchanged a few comments and you said that you still have a couple of Vantop h612t boards with the dead USB issue. If you still have those and maybe, you can send me one so I can repair may abused H612t with Replaced USB-C, broken frame and replaced (3 times) batter, give me a shout!. Thanks for this reviews.
    Edit: HEY!!! that's a Corolla Cross isn't it? Nice car, I have it too, sadly the Latinamerican Hybrid Version here is a 1.8L engine but still lovely car.

    The camera should slide so it can be centered on the existing mirror/mirrors. IMHO

      @AlexAutoFun  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Sap! Here you go th-cam.com/video/2XQFw-C8f88/w-d-xo.html this ones slides out. The slide feature is normally not found on larger mirrors like the G840H since it makes the mirror even larger (which can conflict with the visors) but even without the slide, my OEM mirror is hidden behind the G840H. And here is a large one with the slide th-cam.com/video/823doPGMu80/w-d-xo.html (if size or visors are not a concern) Cheers!
