"Super easy. ... Took about 20-30 minutes"


"It plugs right into the power source for the lane assist and hides inside the housing for it so I can basically just forget it’s there until I need to grab a clip."


"Dream to fit as it connects to existing "safety eye camera" around rear vision mirror. ... Took 5 minutes. Could do it in one minute next time."

"Reliability wise is was rock solid never having an ounce of issues with it through three winters and two whole summers."


"Yeah they are specifically better in the heat than other cameras because they use a super capacitor instead of a battery to do the final writing to the SD card when the power gets cut by your car. ... Batteries tend to have issues in extreme heat/cold"


"I've had a Viofo A129 for a couple of years now, and I leave it in the car 24/7 without issues despite the heat and cold."

"It actually saved me recently from a hit and run with the parking mode, lady scratched the hell out of my door and it got her license plate."


"the parking surveillance feature has unbelievable sensitivity."


"it has 24/7 parking mode too."

"Looks great (inconspicuous) ... Not at all, great visibility and keeps it all very clean! No need to have a bulky camera attached to the windshield."


"the rear camera helps me know when I’m clear to switch lanes especially if I need to do it with what some would say “less space than ideal”"


"Video is used at night to help see the rear view."

"You're not going to get much better quality than BlackVue 700 models."


"But both work great and I would 100% get front and rear."


"Last month got rear ended by person on the phone. ... I downloaded the event clip from the mobile app and was able to show the video to the police on the spot. ... The other driver got a ticket for using the phone."

"if you don’t want to hardwire it, you can run into problems. ... One of mine is plugged into the lighter socket which on my Lexus would be powered on only with ignition, on my Skoda it’s always on, I’ve had a few flat batteries as a result."


"it took a lot of YouTube watching to understand the details to do it professionally and safely. ... One of the hardest parts was getting g ng the wires through the factory rubber boots between the car frame and the hatchback."


"Some of the hardest parts were routing the wires through the rubber grommets of the factory wiring of the hatch. ... Can a self install be done, Yes, however after my experience I can appreciate the work of a professional install."

"The photos seem to be the size of 8K photos in terms of the number if bits (7680x4320), but the individual pixels seem to be duplicated horizontally and vertically so you only get the level of detail of perhaps a Full HD (1920x1080) at best, if that. ... The videos are only 2K in size, not 8K as you are wrongly led to believe. ... I've worked out the the photos and videos are just plain old 1080p HD - i.e. exactly what it says on the camera itself! It's the app that scales it up to "2k" for video or between "2k" and "8k" for photos ... but it's a crude duplication of the pixels so there's no improvement to the picture quality despite the bigger size. ... I bought it because it promised 8k photographs. It does not take 8k photographs. That is my personal experience, not hearsay. ... The picture quality on mine is more like SD than full HD."


"during night time it recorded like a potato."


"the rear cameras video resolution (1080p) wasn't the greatest"

I have a Wolfbox and like it. Good customer support in my experience. I use it on a truck where the center rearview mirror is blocked, so it's key to being able to see directly behind the truck via camera. And the dash cam works well, with the usual functions.

Take a look at Wolfbox. It snaps over the rearview mirror and doesn't block any part of the windshield. Uses the new backup camera as the rear view camera feed.

1. Choose a camera with capacitors, not a battery. 2. Use one that doesn't need fastening to the windshield 3. Remove it when using it, no matter what the manufacturer says, no camera is meant to sit in a car that is locked and closed with 115 temp outside. The inside is WAY hotter. What do I use, as a texan? I love my wolfbox g900 It's not cheap but it's absolutely amazing for me. It attaches and replaces your rear view mirror and uses a rear 2k hd cam instead and also records forward with a touchscreen that just straps to the rearview mirror, and can be easily removed when going inside. I have a little carrying bag I keep it in just for it when I remove it. You may as well just consider the parking security function, that requires a hardwire to the battery, to be a moot point during the summer. It just plugs in via a usb type c otherwise and is simple and easy to use.

It also records while parked and auto shuts off to not drain your vehicle. I installed it in 30 minutes on my 2024 HD and a 22 refresh 1500 but im sure even someone less mechanically inclined would find it easy. If you decide to get this one send me a dm and ill send you a picture of how I have mine hardwired and will save you that step and 20 minutes of having to test fuses and help any other way I can. I see someone being a jerk and this is absolutely a question that could be specific to a vehicle since messing with the fusebox could be an expensive mistake and the way its hardwired would not be the same on every vehicle.

I’m personally rocking a WolfBox Mirror dashcam. I’ve actually had some people question if it’s even recording 😂 https://preview.redd.it/05stputpuwae1.jpeg?width=3754&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=352371c9a1f94581895e4df7f8cd221d3311f9a6 Here’s what it looks like inside of my 25’ sport sedan

Slightly off topic with this, but I also love this dashcam because the rear camera helps me know when I’m clear to switch lanes especially if I need to do it with what some would say “less space than ideal

I use a WolfBox Mirror dash cam. Front and rear with digital rear view mirror. I love mine, and it has 24/7 parking mode too. 10/10 for $200. (I did have to hardwire it into the car with 2 fuse taps but wasn’t to hard)

I personally run the WolfBox mirror dashcam. Digital rear view mirror and it records front and rear. IMO was worth the $200

I think cheap dashcams quality suffers the most in night time. I used to have a wolfbox g900 and during night time it recorded like a potato. How’s it with this one? But ever since this sub has raised awareness about battery pack dashcams vs supercapacitors I don’t think I’ll ever get a non-supercapacitor one.

I like my wolf box but I have a few complaints. the rearview camera quality kind of sucks, if you try and look at playback video footage It is sped up and not normal speed. I reached out the Wolf box and they said it is to save space when storing videos. The fix I was told is to use there dedicated video player. Last thing is the stabilization. just normal bumps in the road cause the camera footage to move a lot. I would prefer they use a camera that had some type of video stabilization to mitigate this. I give them a 3.5 out of 5

Anican311994 • 4 months ago

Yeah if they improve the video stabization and the rear camera quality then I will be happy. Also it records in 30FPS. Give me at least 60. It's 2025 lol.
