Hi Janne! Oh wow, while I love mirror dash cams I do think they are not for everyone. The brightness issue seems to be related to mirror glare, unfortunately all mirror dash cams are plagued by this (is just part of the nature of a screen also being used as a mirror when the LCD panel is off). However here is what I found works good to reduce it. 1st is window tint (sides windows only not on the rear if camera is mounted inside the car). 2nd I aim my mirror dash cam down towards the rear seats so I don't get the reflection of the bright outside (this assumes your are using the dash cam with the screen on) 3rd is that some mirror dash cams do come with glare reducers like this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIa4i3yZgKmSo8k or this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/mofGl3mMgaiLmLs So far there are no universal ones since most of mirror dash cams have custom shapes and sizes. However I had other viewers mentions they cut large screen glare reducers for tablets down to shape for those cases. Cheers!

Hi Bryan! Swapping dash cam components such as a different camera is sometimes is possible BUT I usually don't recommend it unless you don't mind potentially voiding warranty (due to mixing components/brands). We also don't know the long term aspects (both operational and safety) of mixing components/brands. There is also the issue of which components will actually appear to work at first but fail later due to mixing since sometimes small differences between the products while looking the same from the outside are important (I had a viewer fry his new rear camera because the old wiring connections looked same as his prior rear dash cam) If you need a side camera here a couple good choices kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2jNmYGMqd2Emq8 and kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGOtiYCHrrpgaJY and kzbin.info/www/bejne/bprCdImmhc9mesl3heers!

@AlexAutoFun

Hi Maroot and welcome to the channel! Ah regarding window tint, yes I have installed cameras directly onto to it but just remember window tint does affect the camera's visibility, it will be decreased similar to wearing sunglasses at night except you are putting sunglasses onto the rear camera, will probably be ok for day but will be extra dark at night. If you have tint I would recommend for the installer to place the camera on the outside for the best picture quality (typically by the rear license plate area). Here is my install video showing both inside and outside installation kzbin.info/www/bejne/amW6iYFugq5pbNE Regarding the GPS antenna, correct, it must have a direct view of the GPS satellites, so on most mirror dash cams I place it on a corner of the dash (you can actually see it in the driving video part of my reviews) On the G890, I attached the breakout box (which also contains the GPS antenna) to my windshield, high up out of sight.

@AlexAutoFun
@AlexAutoFun Жыл бұрын
Hi Loc! Great question, so far mirror dash cams seem to last as long as their normal dash cam counter parts (stick style dash cams). However mirror dash cams generate a lot more heat due to their large screen. My experience with using them in a hot environment is here in California where we see sometimes see triple digit temperature numbers however I imagine Arizona may be a hotter state. So what I recommend for those cases where the dash cam is used in extreme heat is to run the dash cam at a maximum of 2.5K instead of 4K as 4K generates even more heat and also to pick a dash cam with a capacitor instead of a li-ion battery (both of these recommendations are also true for normal non-mirror dash cams) Here are two examples of dash cams that failed due to battery going bad kzbin.info/www/bejne/foibm6SYocSUr7c and kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYK9n5hrm9iKrZI Cheers!

When correctly hardwired the dash cam will enter park mode (if enabled in the dash cam's setting, remember the G890 has several types of parking monitor modes) when the car is off. I would have the installer check all the connections (ACC, BATT & GND) to confirm that they connected to the correct locations for ACC and BATT (I seen cases where the dash cam stays on constantly if ACC and BATT are reversed or connected to the incorrect locations that does not provide power at the correct time for both ACC and BATT and cases where a connection has come loose) And if your installer is not able to find the issue I would also recommend contacting for Wolfbox tech support, they may be able to walk you thru some troubleshooting steps.

Any idea how the video quality, especially capturing license plates, compares to the top dashcams like the vantrue n4 pro? N4 pro has the new Sony starvis 2 image sensor with improved image quality and night time visibility.

Hi Kimo! Yep, you can see that during the test drive portion of the review (feel free to use the Chapters to jump to the section of the video you want to see). And here is a new dash cam with the Starvis 2 sensor if you want to compare performance kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZKqnax_jrGKY68 However while Starvis 2 is very impressive, if the priority is capturing license plates that is normally achieved by a combination of features including narrow lens, frame rate and exposure control etc. Here is a video where I demonstrate this in more detail kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmeygJWcrMp6qtU and a dash cam with high frame capability to freeze license plates kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKbOioJpfp13Z7s Cheers!

Hi Alex! Great video. I've seeing your other videos since I'm looking to get a dashcam. I have a couple doubts regarding that my car has light smoke window tint on the rear windshield. If I'd like to have the camera installed inside the car (no need to have it outside since my Hyundai Accent 2018 Sedan has already has a reverse camera from fabric over the license plate), would the video quality still be good? And if I turn off the LCD screen to use the mirror dash cam as a regular mirror, will it be kinda the same as my default mirror? Hope I explained my self. Thank you!

Thank you Elias! Ah regarding window tint, it will work thru it to a certain extent (depending on the window tint percentage) but it will be similar to wearing sun glasses at night (you may be able to drive but it will be harder to see and possible more dangerous). Window tint has the same effect on dash cam cameras. And yes you can turn off the LCD panel if you want to use it as a regular mirror (however I use mine with the panel on all the time, I can't go back to a regular mirror after experiencing an LCD mirror) Cheers!

@@AlexAutoFun Thank you Alex. Wow, so the experience of the dash cam mirrors is a really changing factor! So, in your experience, what would you say about measuring the distance and speed/acceleration of the cars behind you viewing with the rear dash cam thru the LCD panel? If you compare it with the regular reflect viewing (regular mirror or LCD panel off)? Could you still measure the other cars kinda the same or better or what would you say? To explain myself better... If the rear camera has a 140° angle view (like a 14mm lens), it means that it's focal distance would make the cars/trucks that are further behind to look small and far, and they would actually be bigger and closer than what they may look like on the dash cam. And the focal distance of regular reflect viewing would be like a 50mm lens? More accurate to how our eyes actually see in distance and sizes, letting us to measure more accurate the distance, speed/acceleration and sizes of the cars/trucks behind us. So, could you please tell me more about your experience on how you found better the experience of having always the LCD panel on with rear camera than regular reflect (regular mirror or LCD panel off), taking this factor in count? Thanks a lot!

You're welcome! Ah yes mirror dash cams will change the perspective of objects due to their wide angle nature vs the narrow view provided by a normal mirror. If the perspective change bothers you, the dash cam can be used with the LCD panel off like a normal mirror or you can use one of this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJKtfpSXq5x5mLc which is the only one in the market currently that allows you to adjust between the wider and narrow view with it's zoom function. Also the best way to experience an LCD mirror before buying one to see if you will like it, would be to test drive a C8 or a new Toyota or Lexus, the higher end models come standard with an LCD mirror.

Hi Juan! I think you are on the money, the G900 is Wolfbox's flagship mirror dash cam so the video quality will exceed that of the G890. So if the main priority is video quality then the G900 is the way to go. Now if you need 3 channels then the G890 will be the way to go. The other thing you want to compare is the specific features of each (notice the options in their menus are very different) So that will also be a deciding factor if you are looking for a specific menu feature that may be in one but may be not on the other.

With this mirror, can you not adjust the parking lines by dragging them? Does it matter? I am not entirely clear about the parking line adjustments. Is this something you do once for your car: set and forget? Or are they adjusted depending on the specific parking situation? Please consider doing a video to show how to adjust parking lines and what they actually do for you. In other words, I'd like to see a parking video where you park before and after adjusting the guidelines so that I can really understand the advantage.
@AlexAutoFun
@AlexAutoFun Жыл бұрын
Hi Tayler! Correct, the parking lines can be adjusted by the buttons on the screen (not by dragging them on the screen, seems every dash cam has it's variation on how they are adjusted including some where they are non-adjustable). And yes once you set them you can forget about them (only requiring readjustment if the rear camera is moved which would affect the reversing angle shown). The idea is that you would adjust them to the placement where you would feel comfortable when parking as far as distance form the edges and from the car behind you. Some people like them really tight where the edge of the lines represent the actual point of impact and some people like to leave room for error (basically a buffer) where the lines are close to impact but with room to spare in case the driver misjudges something. I also seen cases where people adjust them to use the colors, so red area is placed where indicates you hit something, yellow area where you are close and the green area where you have plenty of space (again here how much of each of the color sections actually represents a distance varies depending on how the installer chooses to adjust them or how the customer request for them to adjusted). So it seems to be more a personal preference on where you want to have to lines fall. Now as far as using them some people don't care for them, and some people really like them (I personally don't use them), Cheers!

Hi Virtual! Ah yes unfortunately all mirror dash cams are limited as far as the video quality from the rear camera due to the limitations of current technology (image sensor, ISP, etc) and also the bandwidth feed (rear cameras are limited by AHD which only supports a maximum of FHD). This is one of the reasons I think mirror dash cams are not for everyone. What I recommend is a setup like what you are planning (two independent dash cam setups and in some cases where budget allows 3 independent dash cams setups for redundancy). It could be a mirror dash cam complimented by a normal dash cam or 2 dual normal dash cams. I have more mirror dash cam reviews on my channel in the playlist "Dash Cams Reviews" if you like to compare them. Cheers!

Hi Alex, I am considering buying a mirror dashcam and have been going through a lot of your videos. I absolutely love how detailed your videos are. I was thinking of going with the G880, considering that it has all the cameras detached, but as it has been discontinued, I would want to buy the latest one and hence stumbled upon the G890. I would really appreciate it if you could help me with my query. My car has a rear parking camera but does not have a front parking camera and was thinking of using the rear camera of the G890 at the front on the outside as it is waterproof. I would like to use the cabin camera as a rear dashcam instead. Would it be possible to somehow extend the cable for it to reach the back of the car to power the cabin camera being used as a rear camera?

Hi Kunal! Ah remember while the cabin camera can potentially be placed in a different places in the inside of the car, the cabin camera is not waterproof so it cannot be placed outside the vehicle. Cheers!

​@AlexAutoFun, thanks a lot for the quick response, Alex. I intend to use the cabin camera as a reardash cam inside of the car itself. I just wanted to know if we can extend the cable to the back of the car to power the camera considering it's a seven seater SUV?

Hi A! That depends on what you are looking for in a 3 Channel dash cam. if you are looking for a mirror 3 channel dash cam, the G890 is a good choice, if you want full 360 coverage then this one is a good choice kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIaopHyPeqeJmc0 If you like the Wolfbox brand and want a stick style one then this is a good choice kzbin.info/www/bejne/pouceZZ7orFlfbcsi=TMR8Twcqts_La5qV If your priority is capturing license plates, then this would be a good choice kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmeygJWcrMp6qtU If you need access to extensive customization, then this one would be a good choice kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipa3Xnmgn9h9bNE And I have more 3 channel dash cam reviews on my channel in the playlist "Triple Dash Cams Reviews" if you like to compare them.

Can you use it just a regular mirror or is it only a camera display?

What’s the best wolfbox cam u think ?
@AlexAutoFun
@AlexAutoFun Жыл бұрын
Hi Evelin! ah, that's a good question that I get often. I think it's depends on what you are looking for in a dash cam. I run different ones on my cars so what I usually tell people looking for the right dash cam for them is to start by picking how many cameras does it need to have (2 or 3). Now that you have narrowed your selections, consider how much you want to spend on one, that will narrow your choices even further. So I would say G900 the priority is high picture quality here is the full review kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3-uZ6igp7yKoaM or G890 if you need 3 channels, G840H if you need Wifi support here is the full review kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4S1hGmajc5ra68 or T10 Plus if you have a smaller budget here is the full review kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJCUnnaXetmVmc0 Cheers!

@@AlexAutoFun also I have another question are like the rear cameras interchangeable between different brands? Like most of them all use the same type of input that goes into the dash cam itself and I love the 890 rear camera quality that’s why I asked. The rest of the rear cameras the headlights are always blinding me, and I can’t make out how far the car is and it’s even worse on a pitch dark highway. If you have a recommendation for a mirror dash cam with the quality of the G890 front and rear camera (with better night time quality) and WiFi it would be well appreciated. Ps love your vids you’re the reason o got the fit camx. thank you

Thank you Terrell! Ah yes, swapping dash cam components such as a different camera is sometimes is possible BUT I usually don't recommend it unless you don't mind potentially voiding warranty (due to mixing components/brands). We also don't know the long term aspects (both operational and safety) of mixing components/brands. There is also the issue of which components will actually appear to work at first but fail later due to mixing since sometimes small differences between the products while looking the same from the outside are important (I had a viewer fry his new rear camera because the old wiring connections looked same as his prior rear dash cam) I think the G840H would be the best choice if you need Wi-Fi or the T10 is budget is a concern.
