You think for a vehicle with a big tired on the back blocking your view from the start would come with it but nope, I wish I was motivated enough to install it in my future Jeep, keep it up
Manufacturer should Upgrade all the Wiring Inputs and have them shielded in a flexible cover so all the wiring is hidden. And YES manufacturer should have already included the Mirror covering so the glare is no longer a issue. Just my opinion. I hate Wiring being exposed, this could be a easy fix, but it's on the manufacturer. (Opinion).
I found that the night handling by the camera is horrible. I use it as a rearview mirror through the rear camera, and at night, low lighted areas just appear BLACK and the glare from headlights is absolutely blinding. I'm coming from an AutoVox X2 which had vastly superior low light handling. I'm returning this Wolfbox unit as a result.
He has a few seconds of comparing the two cameras at night at 2:12 but just while he's sitting in his ex girlfriends apartment complex stalking her. But at 9:50 he says "as you can see here" as if he's showing a camera comparison but all he's doing is sitting in the woods where he hid the body. I would like to see the footage of the police lights behind him while in motion as he's running from them to really get a side by side view.
I think it kind of depends on where you're mounting the camera. If you're mounting it where the third brake light is on the outside of cab, then what I would do is run up the a-pillar in behind the headliner and then make your way out through where the third brake light is. If you're mounting it on the tailgate or on the back bumper, then you're better off to probably run it outside the vehicle and then go along the frame rails and get all the way back to the tailgate
@@evolvedjeepin Roger that Dan... I'll def. investigate and see if those options might work. I've seen some clips of truck owners screwing these small cameras into their tops of their rear bumpers in front of their license. plates, as well as through or next to their stock backup cams. Just think it's prone to getting covered in dust or muck during the winter seasons in most places if its on or near the bumper step. Good alternatives though. Thanks again Dan!
@davidhoque5864 you could also put it in the inside of your rear cab window and then it would go through the window if you're worried about debris. That way you can also see the bed of the truck in the camera
Great vid! I have a 21 Rubi and thought about mounting it to the 3rd brake light but was worried about it eventually coming off (double sided tape). How did you mount it on the inside?
Out of curiosity, is your rear window tinted? Mine came that way and I am worried that everything will just look dark due to the tint. I have also seen people mount the rear camera basically on the original camera and passing the wire through the spare tire. Seems like that would be super problematic for taking off that spare tire. Btw, I found the hothead headliner for the Sky One Touch to be a game changer when it comes to temperature control and noise.
Yes mine is tinted and it doesn't seem to affect the image that much. Yeah the hothead headliner is on my list to add to the jeep. Glad to hear it actually works aswell.
@@evolvedjeepin you talk about the WDR camera upgrade has like a double bracket setup. I was wondering if that double bracket came with the camera or you had to purchase that separately.
Hello! Have you tried it when it's very sunny and the camera is pointing at spot that is partially shaded? I would expect the WDR/HDR to balance out that sort of image? ( a huge issue for the camera in my car!)
Is it just me or is the rear camera image flipped right to left? Like smartphones do with the front facing camera mirroring a photo. Or does it work just fine like i would expect to see from a traditional rear view mirror?
Think i'd just take it to Jeep and get them hard wire it into the original reverse camera. That's too much and Black screws would have looked better, counter sunk and shims hidden, without bits of felt stinking out. I applaud your effort though.
It stays on , unless you mess with settings . Also, there Should be a Botton on the bottom of the screen . Press it to turn off screen . Even if it’s “off” camera stays recording . You can use the screen as a normal rear view mirror .
@evolvedjeepin another question: Why is the inside camera 4k and the back camera not , when it should be the back camera 4k, as you can clearly see in front of the car ?
@@jesuslives4803 I am not sure, honestly that is my biggest issue with that unit and I am actually still looking for a better unit to replace it with. Check out my other videos I am doing a mini series on these systems to find the best one
Just so you know, typically that is what all of these systems do they record in 1-3 minute segment this is due to the way the loop recording works. But just so you know, they are continuous and you can easily just put them together to make a full video
@ this is my first dash cam , I thought they recorded one single video , thanks for clarifying that for me Also I cannot connect the wifi to my phone because my vehicle grabs my phone wifi and “disables it” in order for CarPlay to work , I don’t know how to get that ( I drive a VW ID4 ) Thanks again
@robmiranda7120 to access the videos on your app, I would think just do it when you're parked and then turn off your Bluetooth and then connect your Wi-Fi. I really don't suggest using it while driving. That app is not that smooth and it would be a huge distraction.
@ yeah well as soon as the car starts by sitting in it the wifi is disabled , I guess I can live without it I was mainly worried with the recording segments. Thanks
The same thing here, it restarts constantly, then I press the bottom button and it turns on again, it always does it that way, did you manage to solve it?
Yes it does sometimes, when happens try formatting the card and copy the latest firmware into the SD card using PC/Mac which would re-install the latest firmware could solve the problem most of the times.

Needed more nighttime video cause that’s the one issue I have with both of mine.
WOW thank you! never thought about mounting inside the cab. Really good job!!
Good to find out the negatives
Thanks for doing and update on this. So many reviewers just make an initial video without doing a real long term review.

Damn that sucks. I haven't noticed that issue with mind.
Getting the upgraded camera fixes that.
@colinmcclellan8221 which one?
The WDR type. I just bought mine today cuz my g840s camera sucks with low light too
@@l33americaso should I go with the g850?
Any solution for cars or anything that seem to be way too close because of the camera? Anyway to zoom out or something?
So wait, your windows keep out the rain? Wow!
Beautiful install! Thanks for sharing this.
I dont see night video, only daily....how we see if glare still on or disapeared? I have the new G900 model and for me is perfect

Mary, when you buy the G900, does it come with the upgraded camera? Or do you have to buy that separately?
This helps so much. Thanks!
Did you screw or use adhesive for the WDR camera in the rear?
Wolfbox sells a brand specific bracket
Great review and upgrade comments. Do you have any tips for running the cable and mounting the rear camera in a pickup truck? Thanks

You should have used black screws to match the back of the dashcam would look alot Nicer. 😁
Yeah I ended up replacing them, those were just the ones I could get in time to make the video . Thanks for watching.
I wonder if there is a way to hide all those info widgets on the mirror when in cam mode, to see just the image.
Great vid! I have a 21 Rubi and thought about mounting it to the 3rd brake light but was worried about it eventually coming off (double sided tape). How did you mount it on the inside?
Double sided tape that came with it.
Nice video, but I think you need to take a closer look at the part when you add the screen protector and do some editing to it.
lol shut up.
Do you get any issues with it running when the vehicle is off and draining battery?
No, I believe it does turn off after 24 hours to avoid that issue.

Can i ask if you connect it to your phone or computer
This one cannot connect to your phone, but two of the other ones I have tested out can, check out the channel.
Does the camera upgrade come with any type of brackets for inside car install? Or just 3m tape
Not sure what you mean.
@@evolvedjeepin you talk about the WDR camera upgrade has like a double bracket setup. I was wondering if that double bracket came with the camera or you had to purchase that separately.
@@CharlieStafford-x7j Yes the WDR Camara came with the double bracket, where the original camera was a single bracket.
@@evolvedjeepin thank you. I have one on the way just wanted to make sure I had everything for mounting inside the car.
does it have auto dimming when you use it as regular mirror for high beam?
and does it have a battery?
No it's just a reflective surface
No it has no battery, it has a power cord that must be managed.
I have a similar set up but having issues with the driver side sun visor. Do you have this issue as well? Where did you get the mount?
TIA!
I got it on off AliExpress, link is in my install video for the mirror. BUT it's definitely not the right now as I had to customize it to work.
Hello! Have you tried it when it's very sunny and the camera is pointing at spot that is partially shaded? I would expect the WDR/HDR to balance out that sort of image? ( a huge issue for the camera in my car!)
That's a unique situation for sure, can't say I have tried that.
Did that bracket come with the 840S, or you have to order it separately? Thanks.
Ordered it separately, should be a link in the description.
Nice video. So you can no longer remove the hard top ?
No I can remove it, this doesn't affect it at all.
Can you do a night drive please i wanna see it thatd he my determining factor whether to get it or not
Is it just me or is the rear camera image flipped right to left? Like smartphones do with the front facing camera mirroring a photo. Or does it work just fine like i would expect to see from a traditional rear view mirror?
You have the ability to flip or mirror the image. So you can make the right be on the right and left on left.
So now that you hard-mounted the camera inside.... are you never taking your top off again??
Nope because I have a sky one touch hard top. If I still have my regular hard top and soft top I would definitely mount it to the spare tire somehow.
Think i'd just take it to Jeep and get them hard wire it into the original reverse camera. That's too much and Black screws would have looked better, counter sunk and shims hidden, without bits of felt stinking out. I applaud your effort though.
Yeah those screws were temporary and Wolfbox actually has their own mount now so you can just use the screws that come with it.
Does the reverse cam stay on to be used as a digital rear view while driving or does the screen shut off after like a min or so?
It's a digital mirror. So the cameras are one all the time unless you turn it off.
It stays on , unless you mess with settings . Also, there Should be a Botton on the bottom of the screen . Press it to turn off screen . Even if it’s “off” camera stays recording . You can use the screen as a normal rear view mirror .
Would these help with glare and night driving? I cant use my mirrors at night bc the glare hurts my eyes so much :(
Yeah these both worked great for solving that.
hello! question so i just but the g900 pro bundle, would tjis upgraded cam work with mines?
I am not sure I thought the g900 camera with the best camera they offer.
a question is it not annoying that ever time you start the car the wolfbox logo comes on?
Honestly I don't believe it does it everytime, and if it does I definitely don't notice it so it definitely isn't annoying.
@evolvedjeepin another question: Why is the inside camera 4k and the back camera not , when it should be the back camera 4k, as you can clearly see in front of the car ?
@@jesuslives4803 I am not sure, honestly that is my biggest issue with that unit and I am actually still looking for a better unit to replace it with. Check out my other videos I am doing a mini series on these systems to find the best one
Where did you get the ball mount for the screen?
The link is in the description section for this video..th-cam.com/video/1blAKYV1K48/w-d-xo.htmlsi=m2CKdCHwcOLYPg-H
Would you still recommend the wolfbox?
I like the Wolfbox or the Azdome, but both need the upgraded camera. I am currently running the Azdome mainly because it's a square mirror.
What’s the model no of the Beter camera one please
I can't seem to find the model number but here is the Amazon link amzn.to/4fOR62R
How does the system compare with the G900?
I believe the G900 is a better unit, but this one was a more affordable price.
That upgrade doesn't work either. I have the G900 and it came with that upgraded camera. It flares up too
Yeah I haven't yet found a camera that works, I just ordered the apline camera to see if that works.
does still have reverse guide?
Yeah you can turn them on or off, and you can wire the red wire on the camera cord to your reverse light so that it will turn on automatically.
how about the files how to download or transfer to the phone?
can you even pass inspection with this
Yeah I don't see why not. I believe rear views mirrors are not a requirement.
Does this have android auto or carplay.
No
I bought this camera but I’m sending it back because it only records segments of 1 minute up to 3 , what a disappointment
Just so you know, typically that is what all of these systems do they record in 1-3 minute segment this is due to the way the loop recording works. But just so you know, they are continuous and you can easily just put them together to make a full video
@ this is my first dash cam , I thought they recorded one single video , thanks for clarifying that for me
Also I cannot connect the wifi to my phone because my vehicle grabs my phone wifi and “disables it” in order for CarPlay to work , I don’t know how to get that ( I drive a VW ID4 )
Thanks again
@robmiranda7120 to access the videos on your app, I would think just do it when you're parked and then turn off your Bluetooth and then connect your Wi-Fi. I really don't suggest using it while driving. That app is not that smooth and it would be a huge distraction.
@ yeah well as soon as the car starts by sitting in it the wifi is disabled , I guess I can live without it I was mainly worried with the recording segments. Thanks
How do you turn off the auto record when I start up the car
Rear camera seems to look the same quality
Yeah it is pretty much the same the only difference is that the new one had reduced headlight glare at night.
Is there a big difference in the glare at night? I can’t see Jack at night from the read
camera change did nothing. bet some polarizing film over the lens would do the trick
Ok never thought about that, where do you get that?
Is anyone system crushing?
I don't have any issues with mine.
The same thing here, it restarts constantly, then I press the bottom button and it turns on again, it always does it that way, did you manage to solve it?
Yes it does sometimes, when happens try formatting the card and copy the latest firmware into the SD card using PC/Mac which would re-install the latest firmware could solve the problem most of the times.
Are you still running it? Any issues?
I am running the Adzome PG19X, and haven't had any issuess
