We bought one of these Amazon camera's (Carchet brand )for Bella and while we didn't actually LOVE it it seemed to be useful since the view from our jeep was greatly impacted by our rotopax.
The picture quality wasn't great and the night vision is almost a blinding white noise I still thought I would try again for Lagatha.
This time we opted for the Wolfbox G840S and holy cow guys, the image quality is STUNNING and NO MORE NIGHT VISION. It is just a crystal clear color picture at night. This unit is easier to set up and came with its own memory card! I LOVE IT....so let me know what your using or what you think of this in the comments!

Hook up the red wire to the backup light of the Jeep. The red wire is for the reverse mode. And should be hooked up. It does help to have reversing mode working.

Hey thanks for watching I don’t use this as a back up camera but it’s always on the rear so there’s no need to hook it to the reverse lights.

Hi, Question. I bought this camera model for my 96 ranger model. But the parking mode only record maybe 1:30 hrs, with the 24 hrs park mode enabled. I put the hardwire kit to enable the park mode. I connected the yellow cable in a constant energy fuse and red in a fuse that only have energy when the truck switch is on. That ok? Or I need to connect the yellow in the battery directly?

@DownSouth_Adventures Год назад

I would try the battery directly because I didn't hook up my parking mode

@AwesomationGames Год назад

does the constant power from parking mode drain the battery? I had this issue with my last dash cam, so I'm looking for one that won't do that

Hi, we just installed after I watched your review, we are getting used to this mirror cam and it works really well. Only question is, is this supposed be darker than normal mirror? The resolution is goo but it’s bit dark in sunny days. I have adjusted brightness but feel like I am looking at tinted mirror. Do you think it’s ok?

@DownSouth_Adventures 9 месяцев назад

Hmmmmm I know mine seems to have a dark tint on it, but I’ve never had an issue viewing the screen. I’m not sure if maybe you just need to angle yours differently.

@user-dl5hs2ez9p 8 месяцев назад

Yes, these mirrors are not only darker than regular mirrors and it doesn't allow you to use as a mirror only unless you turn the whole thing off. I returned mine because of these reasons plus i was expecting to have as a mirror only and time and GPS on the mirror only. Back up camera and front only when enabled, but the settings are so basic doesn't allow these.

@aarun3000 8 месяцев назад

This is a great device but I noticed an annoying flaw. You can't view the wide angle view of the rear cam by itself. It's the cropped version. The only way to view the wide angle is when you set it to view both front and back cams. It's been a couple days since I set this up. Either I missed some setting or this is an oversight by them. Might have to return this for this reason alone. Otherwise great piece of tech.

@slimj82 6 месяцев назад

I noticed the same exact issue but if you slide it up and down there's a sweet spot to get that wide angle near the bottom of the screen opening up those blind spots to your view. I parked in a parking lot, using a building or anything in the rear view slide the screen up and down until the widest view of the road was lined up with the wider bottom portion of the screen. 👍🏽👍🏽

@gangatalishis 8 месяцев назад

I would t recommend this, the main reason is because you cannot adjust the angle of the front camera, meaning it has to be dead center for you to get a good recording of the front. That in turn means that you cannot use the rear view mirror because it will be off center and you will be looking at your passenger seat every time you want to look behind you, forcing you to use the rear view camera. The rear view camera is only 30fps, which makes the image choppy and if someone is blinding you with their headlight well good luck. I’d recommend a dash cam that does not go on your rear view mirror. I will more than likely end up returning this which is a shame cause the install was a bit of a pain.

@DownSouth_Adventures 8 месяцев назад

You obviously don’t understand how this works….

@DownSouth_Adventures 8 месяцев назад

The mirror isn’t a mirror it is a display so NO MATTER which way you face it you see the beautiful 4K screen showing you what’s outside . The front camera is also super wide angle so matter the position you see the same footage. There is nothing remotely choppy in the video. Bright lights are never an issue with this unlike your rear view mirror.
