Thank you for all the effort you put in making the video. Here's a long-term case. Met a small accident only to find that this G900 dashcam didn't record it because the firmware was outdated. Updated the firmware and recordings have started. I feel irrespective of firmware it should keep doing its job. It's rare that people will check firmware every month.
@@ukkhushal dashcam should always record the footage even if the firmware is out of date. However sometimes you might have to format SD card if you don't see the recording icon. If you got to an accident your file will be locked in a different secure folder, so it won't be recorded over. there is a chance that your accident was recorded and locked in a different folder.
@TampaTec I've checked all folders. Also, the last recordings were from 3 months ago. It did show the recording sign, but strangely didnt have any recordings even the normal ones. It's an amazing recorder and very helpful during rains and night time. Gives great view. Its just this one case which I thought to share. Although not ideal but i recommend every once in a while to check if the recordings are actually being saved.
Liked you're presentation, not rushed as if hurrying to bypass questionable areas... I'm looking at this unit because it appears to be a newer model, I'd be mounting it in a full size semi for my own protection, obviously don't need inside view , but rather both sides overlapping front center,the clarity is a huge plus!, Many other advantages in a small unit that i own instead of trying to get footage from the company camera system that most over the road trucks carry for insurance reasons,thanks!!😊
Hey bro. Great video. I hardwired it. Quick question. When I put the car into P and take the keys out. My screen remains on. Is there anyway for the screen to turn off automatically after I take the keys out? I don't want to use the screensaver bc I was hoping the screen would auto turn off after I turn the car off.
I use it in display saver mode aka mirror mode. Yes this mirror records in mirror mode and since this mirror is wider it's better visibility than my old mirror.
Thank you for the instructions on installing it. Been thinking of ordering one for awhile now. One thing I’m unsure of is how it records? Do you have to manually trigger it to record each time you get into your vehicle? Does it automatically start recording when it’s running? Or does it only trigger when it gets bumped? Thanks for your time!
Awesome review man! Thank you! Quick question, is there an internal time/date battery? For example, if I use the cigarette lighter power, and power gets cut with ignition, will it retain the time and date? Or do I have to reset time and date?
@@danielc6878 both of them are USB C. I prefer the G850 USER INTERFACE, you can lock videos so that they never get deleted. Both have the same rear camera, but the G900 has a better firmware for the rear camera, and makes it much better. I would go for the G900.
So you commented how we should not have an issue seeing any license plate numbers...why not just show us how well it can see license plate numbers? -.-
is there an app i can view my car camera live? Also the rear camera, could i install that inside where my rear windscreen is or does it have to be outside, thanks
on 13:25 I see that your rear view is normal when seeing the recording, but I assume(AND HOPE) that when you drive and see the rear-view camera Live on the 'mirror' display then it's mirrored(so your left will be your left) as it's looking back. Correct? I just try to figure it out here, on how this things work.
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, but nothing I do seems to crimp the red backup camera wire to the t splice correctly. No matter how hard I crimp, no matter what tool I use (pliers, crimp tool), the red wire is easy to pull out from the crimped area. I even tried using non-conventional crimping tools like a vice and a dull pipe cutter and nothing seems to secure the red wire to the connector. Might I add that I'm using the exact same camera and red wire, as well as the exact same t splice, and I've even tried with and without crimping the insulation and nothing works. Please advise.
Either or you can split it and have both. With it set to rear you get to keep a functioning rearview mirror. I don't like front or split. Split is too small to be useful and Front is absurd when I should be looking out the window.
I can see this evolving into a really nice camera. For starters, the rear camera is really slick. That's a really good feature. I don't think I like the front camera placement though. Seems to be just a bit too high which causes it to pick up a lot of the grid material on the windshield. So I don't think this type of camera would be ideal for certain vehicles at the moment because certain windshields have even more of that grid material. Personally, I think they should opt for a front camera that mounts on the windshield that connects to the windshield unit with a short cable. That way, the front camera would always be fixed just like the rear camera. Also, would be nice if it had WiFi or an LTE version so you could connect to it remotely from an app.
Please note that the rear camera may require frequent cleaning during inclement weather conditions, such as rain, snow, or mud. This can impair the camera's functionality and compromise visibility of the surroundings behind the vehicle.
Just bought it and installed it. So, the main job of the mirror is mirroring things behind you. I just can't believe that if I put it to a sleep mode, putting the reverse the image don't go on...Only if the mirror cam is on (and in that case I dont have a mirror because it's shows it's icons) it automaticly switch to the back camera, once I insert the reverse..Does your mirror dash cam is showing automatically the reverse picture when you insert the reverse IN CASE YOU HAVE SWITCHED THE MODE TO HAVE ONLY THE MIRROR or you need to turn it on like me in order to see the reverse picture, but in that case the mirror is ON with it's icons so you can't see the things behind your car? Tnx
Great video, but the accompanying instructions recommends testing everything before any installation is done. There's a lot of work that goes into the installation, so it would be frustrating to find it doesn't work after it's installed.
GPS tracks miles per hour and location and updates time and day. Can you download the software you see where you are and how fast you were going if you get it to an accident.
In my opinion, it would be advantageous if the device had three channels: front, cabin, and rear. Regrettably, this is not the case, so I will continue to use my Ventures.
It's records to SD card and replays on screen which a cop can use a phone cam to record replay video or remove sd card so cops can transfer data to their laptop 💻 in the cop car.
Just had mine installed at the auto accessory place by my house. Seems like the rear view mirror won't turn off when I turn off my car. Also I can't get into the settings mode.. The display seems stuck on reverse mode when I power it on. Does anybody have any ideas on what's going on? This is the first wolf box mirror the auto accessory place has installed.
How can one see the mirror only without camera images and only time and gps coordinate on the screen? I'm about to return this item because I don't think it has this feature. 😫

You’d have to swap your fuse tap to a switched ignition source but then you’ll lose your ability to parking lot monitor I’m pretty sure.
do you NEED to splice the wires in order to use the rear view camera to work/record? i have a factory backup camera already and was wondering.
@@ryland9321 I'm wondering the same thing
If you have the display off(mirror only) and you put your car in reverse, will it automatically turn on?
Quick question: what wire gauge size T-Tap did you use for the rear break light connection? Cheers!
Hi does it work well as a mirror too? Does it still record in mirror mode?
I use it in display saver mode aka mirror mode. Yes this mirror records in mirror mode and since this mirror is wider it's better visibility than my old mirror.
Awesome walk through - thank you for making this!
I appreciate it 🙏
So if you already have the lines on your current back-up camera, you will lose them if you hook the back up camera with lines?
Which is the best mirror dash cam in your opinion ? Regardless the price
@@alirasheed6357 wolfbox and autovox mirror dashcams are very good brands that lasted years for me.
@@TampaTec which is best ? Which wolfbox ?

Quick question, is there an internal time/date battery? For example, if I use the cigarette lighter power, and power gets cut with ignition, will it retain the time and date? Or do I have to reset time and date?
My dash cam is wired to fuse box but most dash cams these days have onboard lithium battery to save settings like Time and date.
@@TampaTec thank you so much for the quick reply!! I’ll probably be installing mine this coming week! Appreciate it!!
Deciding between the g850 and g900. What is the difference in parking mode between the 2.
me2... I noticed one has UBC type C and the other micro USB. Not sure if Quality improves at night or what... kinda seem the same

@@LynKoZwhat’s the difference between g900 and g930
@@Jcasillas49 did you ever find this out?
I already have a reversing camera, so do you think I could mount the rear camera on the back window? (Obviously, I don't need the lines.)
Great video. What fuse did you plug into? Just an open accessory fuse slot?
I'm trying to figure out the same thing 😂 Did you figure it out?
This snaps onto existing mirror or fully replaces it? Requires dangling wire to plug into 12v cig port?
Very nice Demonstration, thanks for taking the time to share. Thumbing up👍
Hi. Does it support wifi to transfer videos and photos to the moblie?
Yes
This is how to do a review!!!
Good job
If your rear view was more obstructed could/would you keep the display on at all times? Or is it too bright at night?
This definitely seems better than the rexing camera I got just wish they had side view cameras also
Does this have live feed? For example, while at work can I check the cam live while my car is parked in the parking lot???
No
Hey I got a question how long did it take you to install it because I went somewhere they want to charge me $260 for 2 hours of work
@@odinbejar about 1-2hr is normal depending on car model. Around $100 an hour is about avg rate.
@@TampaTec thank you so much for your response
Can you turn off the indicators on the screen such as the blinking record? Basically customize the HUD.
Did you just connect to any fuse or specific fuses?
Does the reverse camera also record ? If u get rear ended ?
Great Video! Do you know if you can you the supplied camera as front bumper parking camera? My vehicle already has a backup camera.
What would be a recommendation for a battery pack so I can use the 24/7 parking feature

No it's to track driving location and speed history.

Great instructional video! How is it at night time when obnoxious people with high beams in the back? Does it blind you?
No I doesn't bother me because u can dim the screen or turn off display but still records
Like many have said thanks very much for such a detailed review.......
Can you see the front display and mirror at the same time?
Fantastic work! Subscribed. Keep up the good work 👍 !
Please note that the rear camera may require frequent cleaning during inclement weather conditions, such as rain, snow, or mud. This can impair the camera's functionality and compromise visibility of the surroundings behind the vehicle.

So you don't need to connect the red wire. For the rear view camera to work. I just can connect and still use the rear view camera just like that
is this true ?
Explain more...
Can you use the rear camera 24 7 , I have a camper and can't see oit rear view mirror so.need something I can see out of all the time

Great review, I really like your channel. Please can you explain how GPS works?
GPS tracks miles per hour and location and updates time and day. Can you download the software you see where you are and how fast you were going if you get it to an accident.
Can the rear camera be placed in the inside of the car?
Very nice Sir
What if you already have a backup Camera installed ?
Can you shut the compass and the time off?
Good job , but you said nothing about wifi or video from the dash cam to your mobile phone
Well done.
Is that a pixel phone? And by any chance 6a? I just have the same phone with the same back case 😊
In my opinion, it would be advantageous if the device had three channels: front, cabin, and rear. Regrettably, this is not the case, so I will continue to use my Ventures.
Is it Bluetooth capable..my C5Vette does have phone capabilities
Can I hook up a difrent camera to it?
Good question. I'm thinking about replacing my factory back up camera with this one, but I'm concern about capability issues that might arise.
Problem with all those things is simple. I live in Arizona where day time temps inside a car can reach 120 + degrees and they just don't last.
How do you watch the videos to show the police or whatnot if there’s no WiFi???
It's records to SD card and replays on screen which a cop can use a phone cam to record replay video or remove sd card so cops can transfer data to their laptop 💻 in the cop car.
Eh gotcha. Maybe the 930 is better. Has WiFi and an app??? That’s a lot better isn’t it???
