G900

Updated Review October 16, 2024: I've had the Wolfbox for over a year now. I absolutely love it. Great customer service, and great product! I've recorded quite a few "interesting" incidents, and I'm glad I have back up proof if the worst should occur. 5 STARS after 1 year of ownership!Updated Review December 30, 2023: 4 stars for excellent customer service! I added pictures which were not part of my original review.I upgraded my original 3 star score to 4 stars simply for excellent customer service. A nice lady from Wolfbox named Aila has EXCELLENT communication skills and has been reliable and consistent with messaging me through Amazon's interactive customer/seller portal. She has been wonderful and excellent. Take note that this happened throughout the holiday season. As a customer who is very particular with my needs and honest about my reviews and feedback, I can honestly say that this is how to build brand loyalty.Aila thanked me for my feedback about the products, and assured me that she will be using that feedback to improve her products in the future. She was also very willing to replace my items, and offer me full refunds.Considering that I liked the Wolfbox G900 kit that I installed enough to keep it (especially after all the work I did to install the system) , and after the excellent communication I received from Aila at Wolfbox, I am very comfortable to give Wolfbox my personal loyalty to their brand as Aila has established rapport and trust.PROS:1) The form factor of front facing and rear facing cameras both recording at the same time is excellent.2) The camera monitor is also your rear view mirror.-This is the best feature in my opinion because it gives you the best view of what is behind your vehicle at all times.-I have it set so that the monitor shows the rear facing camera at all times. I LOVE this feature because it is a huge upgrade from a regular rearview mirror.-I have my 2.5K rearview camera mounted right above my license plate on the outside of the car. Someday I hope Wolfbox has a 4K rearview camera available, so that license plates can be read from further away. 2.5K is sufficient enough to do the job.-When the Vehicle is in reverse, straight reverse lines appear in the monitor. While they do not curve when turning the driving wheel, they still serve a practical function for gauging distance when reversing into a parking stall.-----Original Review December 22nd, 2023: 3 stars, and did not include any pictures.I purchased this G900 with rear camera system because it was on sale. Ideally, I want a 4K front camera and a 4K rear camera because what's the point of having video footage if you can't make out the license plates right?Well I picked the G900 because it didn't appear that any Wolfbox model had dual front and rear 4K. The best I found find was front 4K, and rear 2.5K.While the picture quality is pretty good. Looking back at the videos on my computer, cars have to be REALLY close to the cameras in order to make out the license plate.Night quality? Forget it. Can't make out license plates at all. I guess this is the best we can hope for.I'm not disappointed to the point that I'd return the cameras. They do still serve a very pragmatic function.However, I will say this: I would LOVE it if I could just hotswap out my rear camera for a 4K camera someday.Also, I purchased the OEM Wolfbox mounting bracket. It fits perfectly on my 2008 Toyota Corolla, however no matter how much I tighten it, it rattles, and that rattle sound gets picked up by the onboard microphone and you can constantly hear it in the video footage anytime the car is moving.I might have to install a wooden shim inbetween the space between the bracket (why does this space exist?) and the mirror. Furthermore, whenever I adjust the position of the mirror, I hear a popping sound coming from the connection between the mirror and the bracket. Again, I have tightened all screws as tight as possible, and everything is securely and properly assembled. I think a wooden shim should do the trick, but I shouldn't have to do that.Therefore 3 stars. Good enough to keep, not bad enough to return. Could use some improvements.

I first saw this in use on someone else’s car and was blown away by the capabilities and features. So I decided to go ahead with my purchase. I’ve had vehicles for 50 years and this is without a doubt the very best and most useful accessory that I’ve ever purchased. Installation was easy, although I did search for and find a YouTube video on how to remove my rear hatch panel and trim from my specific car model, and guidance on how to best install the camera externally.To be blunt, this is literally a game changer. I have a car with dark tint on the windows (hey, it’s Texas) and I have problems using any of my mirrors even in the daylight. Night time is even worse and I’ve struggled to see clearly from the rear view mirror. This dramatically changes everything in that I now have crystal clear rear views at all times of the day and night. And I love that you can adjust the viewing angles of both the front and rear to get the exact view that works best for you. The wide angle view is amazing as it allows me to easily see all four lanes no matter which lane I happen to be in. I expected that the view at night might suffer but I was pleased to see a nice sharp color image day or night. Having its GPS offers speed and directional information.Installation was straight forward on my BMW X5, and easy to understand. I did purchase a Tresalto Auto Trim Removal Tool Kit here on Amazon so that I’d have the right tools to ensure I didn’t damage my trim. And I also used some small black tie straps to neaten up the install into the rear hatch panel. They also sell a replacement longer rear camera cable but I had plenty of length left over that I then tucked away inside my front pillar trim. Rear camera installation did require me to drill a small hole for the cable on the exterior back panel adjacent to the license plate on the opposite end from the factory rear view camera, and then I used clear silicone to ensure that nothing outside seeped back inside. Once positioned it looks like a factory install, nice and professional.I highly recommend this smart mirror, especially for anyone with dark tinted windows, or if you’re older and perhaps not seeing as well at night.
