Note: dash cam mirror acts like a mirror when you press display off button and still records. GPS: sync clock, speed kph/ mph, direction like North East West South Power module: this is optional if you decide not to use cigarette light port for power.

sir can the Pelsee car camera playbback on phone. incase if your car is stolen??

[@adamwhitfield5571]

@@godfather3551 good question

[@jonijoni3683]

When i turn off the ignition key, the camera immediately goes off too. Looks like there is no battery in it so at least to do a safe shutdown or to register the last clip. Does anyone else has that issue?

[@zuriellara8126]

What model is this?

[@ks_hunter7327]

I have one now in my car for 8 months and I truly missed it when I was driving a new car rental. The extra wide angle comes in version handy if you have change lanes rapidly. The night visibility is amazing. The bad part is you have to apply a hydrophobic sprayed on the rear camera lens because water does accumulate and make the image hard to see through the surface rain drops sometimes.

[@juaquiqui-kun4333]

I wish I could get this but I have a truck. It can still work if I just put it in the cabin facing the back but I guess it wouldn't be worth it all that hassle. Better just to get tow mirrors.

[@danhammond8406]

@juaquiqui-kun4333 get the extra wire kit and it will fit in a truck. Putting mine in a ram 5500 tool truck

[@selena.996]

Is it still working well? I'm new driver and I need some help.. I like it but I'm afraid from some distortion in distance or glarey look in the sun or at night... do you recommend it ?

[@dan7163]

I have the g850. Definitely mount that rear cam Outside. Just above the license plate it's practically impossible to detect even when you know it's there. I've used most other cams including Garmin and all were crap. The Wolfbox is the best I've seen in a decade. Get the optional power supply cable for 24hr recording parked. It's a great tool

[@iinrefna]

you got some dedication to be routing the wires in the rain

[@anonymouse7394]

Bought and installed mine around the time you made this video. Only rewatching to install the backup camera

I actually bought one of these, I love it and think everyone should have one. That being said a lot of people install the GPS wrong it actually needs to be on the dashboard facing up or it won’t recognize where are…

[@darciejones7271]

As I've only made 1 pymt on my 2017 Ford C-Max Energi, I haven't quite gotten to the rear camera installation.....kinda dreading drilling into the frame of my hybrid. So far, the only issue I have had with the Wolf Box while only using front mounted on mirror is that I had it unplugged & off my mirror for a week due to in town only driving while doing DoorDash (most of town is 25mph zone) After a week unplugged & off, I had to reset the time & date. Not even a starter issue in my book. I love having it. A nephew saw it in use yesterday & thought it's pretty awesome, as having it show the camera view, he was able to see what I was seeing while driving, as he was sitting behind me in my car.

[@lunarvue]

In this application 50/60 Hz is referring to the electrical cycle in a specific country. USA and Canada are 60hz, much of the world is 50hz. It’s not frames per second (frame rate) but rather it aligns your camera with the ‘frequency’ of electronic equipment/lighting so your camera doesn’t exhibit flicker or banding in the image from lights. Great video! Thanks for the thorough review! Also, from Tampa too! 👍

[@olivierleger2530]

In a car its 12volt dc voltage so there is no 60hz or 50hz so it might be the frame rate

[@KeaghanV3]

It’s the refresh rate ya goons

[@apersonontheinternet8006]

DC doesn't use "frequency", it is direct power versus alternating.

[@EndTheIMF]

Great product. have had it for several years. GSensor is parking monitor

[@HandleCarefully925]

You didn't mention what MODEL of Wolfbox 4k dash & backup camera this was? G930, G900, G840?? That would have been helpful as most of the Wolfbox cameras are 4k.

[@mattpipke5716]

Which wolfbox model is this? I like the 900, but I see the 850, 840, 930, and 900, which are you testing?

[@rcman6895]

Now if you get into accident and you're looking at the footage can you zoom in to someone's license plates to make the numbers out daytime and night

[@reyanshsingla]

The footage is stored in the SD card. Once you insert that SD card in your computer or mobile you can zoom in and do basically anything as you can with a normal video.

[@sharkman5735]

If you are using the GPS, does it display that on the screen?

[@jeffs6090]

I would think the rearview camera should be mounted higher up. It's not so much a backup camera as it is for being a digital rearview mirror. As you're driving, you want that higher in oder to see more behind you and if you have a car close behind you, you can see over them better.

[@delhiabhishek]

@StoneJack But we hv to depend on back camera for our rear view as we hv installed wolfbox dash camera on old rearview mirror....so i guess no choice... I hv installed inside my car at higher location in boot and working fine

[@ERidParasoth]

@StoneJack He's 100% correct, you should be using the backup camera as your rearview mirror as well. Do you not check your rearview or something?

[@jascam1]

Rule #1 plug in the system and test before running cables, mm G850 fresh out the box was DOA.

[@tubleejthoj6595]

i hope the company build the front camera little longer so we can turn all the way to all angle the reason is that short people sit closer and not be able to see the camera better. but if we can adjust the screen face to us and the camera is still point straight then we are good. beside if the can build something to eliminate the brightness during nighttime with the headlight from the back and sunlight during the day then this camera is the world best dashcam ever. i love it just those issues

[@userpike]

In the title, it says back up camera, but you didn't really showcase the functionality of the backup camera in use. Why didn't you back into a parking space or something?

[@Doamino41]

I was very impressed with this camera system so I ordered it for my 2010 Nissan Rogue. I plan on connecting it to my back up wiring. But I have yet to find a video on how it behaves when actually backing up. Is there a setting where the back up image automatically comes on when put in reverse?

[@richardbrown4108]

[@nicholaslandolina]

The wolf box is nice

[@ohnomarry]

Hz and FPS Two totally different things. 60 Hz refers to the refresh rate of the IPS panel, frames per second refers to how many individual single shots make up the fluid "Video" . Higher the refresh rate the more stable the picture will appear, but will not affect the quality of the video aside from how quickly the image will change, FPS, higher the FPS the clearer crisper and easier to slow down without loss of motion. :-) One thing to consider however is a 35mm Motion Picture (ie every movie made up until just about 2005) had a FPS of 24. Fluid motion video standard is 30 FPS, anything above is purely for aesthetics

[@kippywylie]

I often drive my Outback with cargo storage filled to the ceiling. Can this function as a simple rear view mirror running only on the camera?

[@KingShibe]

It looks like it can. I drove an old mustang with one of these.

Never install the camera outside of the vehicle. Always mount it inside the rear window to ensure clearest visibility and also to keep it dry.

[@Notfiveo0]

Inside window is fine as long as you can rig it so that no light enters around the camera, otherwise you will get a reflection from the glass in the mirror.

[@Fabulousprofound168]

@seoul4183rear dashcam yes it should be behind the glass, but a reverse camera needs to be outside like you said in order to work effectively

@@zivyh939 from my experience it’s dark during the day, and at night you can’t even read the license plate. And this is through a clean window. But factory tinted glass is mostly okay (again night time is an issue). Camera quality, night vision, resolution, etc. are all factors.

I have the 3 channel wolf box and for some reason, I cant get the backup cam to come on. I believe everything is hooked up perfectly. im stumped

[@steve_Pkd]

The red wire at the tail end where you plug into the rear camera has to be tapped into the reverse wire of the car. When shift to reverse, the red wire energizes and signals the monitor to come on.

[@Deerector]

@@steve_Pkd I know it did that. I figured out the issue though. I wasn’t expecting it to be this either. Ok so the USB-C that plugs into the mirror, it needs to plug in from the left. If you plug it in and it’s from the right, you’ll get interior and front cam working, but the rear stay off. And the unit will randomly power off and on. As soon as you turn the wire around, it’s perfect.

[@raanakus5135]

Hi i want to ask, i can't seem to find the recording of my rear view camera nor how to fix it cause it's not available in the settings. Is there any suggestion for this issue?

[@oaker55]

How is the video while the car is in motion? I work for a Cadillac dealership and Cadillac's have had something similar (video rearview mirrors) for several years but I can't use them. Something about the video when I look in the mirror almost makes me sick to my stomach particularly if looking at the mirror while going around a corner. Side to side motion is very strange.

[@jailyndejia667]

For advice/opinion purposes only… which one do you guys would give a better or stronger connection ? Being plugged in cigar port or a ground wire installation ?

@Kip Wylie I also want this to be just a digital rear view mirror for my van. It already has the reverse cam with active guidance from factory. I think if the camera is powered via the rear running light then it may provide that function. I have no interest in dash cam, front or rear.
