Wolf Box G900 Pro: One minute Review
Wolf Box G900 Pro is a mirror -style dash cam that records 4K forwards and 2.5K video backwards. The Weatherproof Rear Camera can be pulled into your car’s bumper, and it can be converted into a camera. A direct video feed can be seen on a touch screen display, or a direct video feed, which is integrated in the mirror.
Both cameras produce excellent, high quality video, and are happy to use the user’s interface-it is fast, responsible and intuitive. The Wolf Box app also works well, which is moved fast from dashcam to your phone via 5 Gig Herz Wi -Fi, though transfer of footage directly from the added microSD card is not an option for Macos users, because how the card is formatted by dashcam.
Installation is more than other dash cams, and creates an additional GPS antenna additional disorder that you would like to hide. The design of the G900 is not perfect, because I know that its camera was partially blocked by a mirror assembly of some vehicles. This is a dash cam (or at least to measure carefully) before buying.

Wolf Box G900 Pro: Design
- Doubles as alternate mirror
- The perfect fit is not guaranteed
- Forward Wave easily obstacles
Unlike Dash Cams, which is based on Windshield, Wolf Box G900 Pro works as your car’s main rearview mirror space. It gets stuck on your current mirror, and gives you a reflection of both behind you, as well as a forward -looking camera is recorded by a camera.
This is possible because there is a touch screen embedded in the G900 Pro mirror. The result is a mirror that still shows a clear view of what is still behind, but with a tap to awaken the user’s interface, can show the video directly from the front and rear dash cams.
It is also possible to swipe and tap your way through the G900 Pro Settings menus, and see the recorded footage on the mirror/touch screen, before it transfer it to your smartphone using the Wolf Box app and the G900 Pro’s Wi -Fi connection.
Along with the central unit, the review kit here also included a rear -facing camera that could either be trapped with adhesive pad in your back window or, since it is weather -proof, is bad from the rear bumper. Here, it doubles as a back -facing dashcam and an reversed camera, which is sent directly to the display of the video feedman unit.
It is also possible to wire the rear camera in the light of your car’s reversed light. Then, when the light dash illuminates the cam, the feed automatically shows the feed from the back camera. The 12 volts included in the main unit are running from the adapter, but the Wolf Box also sells an optional hard wiring kit for permanent power supply.
Wolf Box G900 Pro: Performance
- Many messy cables to hide
- Excellent 4K Video
- Not suitable for some cars
Despite being very different from other dashcams, the G900 Pro is still relatively easy to install and configure. The central unit connects your mirror using a pair of rubber straps, and operates with a usual 12 -volt lighter socket.
Dashcam has GPS but for extraordinary modern, high -end dashcam, antenna is not integrated. Instead, the GPS unit is a small box that is connected to the cable and then sticks to the windshield or dashboard. Given the advanced features of this dashcam otherwise, this is a disappointing slight of hardware design. The GPS unit takes space, the cable needs to be hidden somewhere, and it usually gets a bit messed up.
I also found that the central unit does not fit my car’s mirror well. The camera is applied by the left side of the mirror, which means that my car has to install the G900 Pro of the Center, thus the slightest dash of my car gets out of the back of the mirror. The worse thing was that the camera’s forwardwave from the mountain of the car was partially confusing. I could improve the camera’s view, but that meant to move the mirror to an angle where it no longer visited me.
For my own car, 2015 Mazda MX5ND (MITA in the US market), it made the G900 Pro a non -starter. It also trembled while driving, and with a large engine running stationary. The car does not do its own mirror, but the constant shaking of the mirror and digital interface of the Wolf Box has become a quite disturbance.
Hopefully, the Wolf Box will perform better somewhere else, I turned it into my colleague’s Piote E -208. As an electric car, I experienced most of my car, and being a big car means that the G900 Pro can be installed without seeing more dirty. Separate GPS module is still a resentment, though, and some of the camera scenario was still blocked by the car’s own mirror assembly.
It is a shame that some of the camera theory is blocked, as the G900 Pro produces the best 4K footage. This is honestly something I have ever seen from a dashcam, and it is equivalent to Gopro or other action camera. Details are abundant, colors are correct, and everything is good and smooth.
The back camera is almost as good. It has a low resolution of 2.5K, but still a great job of capturing the accurate detail.
The G900 Pro user interface is also impressive. The display with an intuitive menu system is bright, sharp and responsible, making it easier to adjust the settings. The Wolf Box smartphone app is also good.
The setup process is fast and the 5 GHz makes the Wi-Fi video transfer even faster-a good thing, since this dashcam configures its microSD card using irreparable file system through the MacOS. I used my Mac, re -forming the card, but dashcam still insisted on re -forming it. Footage transfer through the app is fine, but it cannot be transferred directly from the SD card to the Mac, so you will be forced to use the app.
Recordings seen in the app also show the location of the car on the map, as well as the G -force indicators. Although this may not seem true, it often indicates 0.8 grams of acceleration at a speed of 0.0 miles per hour. Some figures, such as maps, height and gm, are transferred to the camera roll of your phone, and I saw how the speedometer was delayed slightly compared to the footage.
I also faced a problem where the map that was with each recording (provided by Apple maps) was empty. It was corrected by giving permanent access to the Wolf Box app to my iPhone’s local data.
Go back to the positives, and I’m sure some drivers will like how this dash cam doubles like a rareview mirror. If you run a van, for example, or any vehicle that is limited to the back, can be really useful by looking at the camera’s face -facing camera.
I really can’t see the G900 Pro point of view that is constantly showing a camera view, as it is like watching through the windshield, but thankfully it is either easy to show the rearioview, or it doesn’t have a camera feed at all. In this case, the G900 Pro acts like a traditional mirror, but with a simple interface that shows time and date in a corner.

How did I experience Wolf Box G900 Pro
- I installed the G900 Pro in two different cars
- I used the front and rear camera on several trips
- I used the Wolf Box app and analyzed the recorded footage
To thoroughly test the Wolf Box G900 Pro, I installed it in two different cars. The first showed how this mirror -style dashcam does not work in some vehicles, while the latter put it in a better light. I completed numerous trips with both cars, then transferred footage to my phone and computer to look closely.
