About this item
- LARGE SCREEN & REAL 4K: With its 12-inch 4K front camera and WDR rear camera, the G850 mirror dash cam from WOLFBOX offers a super clear and smooth video experience, enabling you to easily read important details like road signs and vehicle number plates. This advanced technology takes into account both high-quality performance and cost-effectiveness.
- TYPE-C INTERFACE AND SUPER CAPACITOR-WOLFBOX: rearview mirror cameras are upgraded to supercapacitors and USB C interfaces, Unlike traditional lithium batteries, the supercapacitor is able to withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -4°F to 149°F, effectively eliminating the risks of overheating, explosion, and melting. Furthermore, the supercapacitor has a longer service life that is twice as long as that of lithium-ion batteries.
- WDR & SUPER NIGHT VISION: The mirror dash camera has been equipped with an improved low-reflectivity LCD screen that minimizes glare during daylight hours. Additionally, it features advanced WDR technology to balance light levels and is further enhanced by a Starvis sensor and a 6-glass lens for superior image quality. As a result, driving in low light conditions or other challenging lighting situations should be much easier.
- LOOP RECORDING, G-SENSOR, PARKING MONITOR: Loop recording of the mirror dash cam front and rear will automatically overwrite the old files when the card is full. G-sensor detects a sudden collision and locks the collision footage, so the rearview mirror camera won't overwrite locked files; the Parking monitor functions as a surveillance camera system while the vehicle is off (need to be powered by a hardware kit. Asin: B09X9F8GMT)
- REVERSE ASSISTANCE, STREAM MEDIA, REAR CAM FLIP & MIRROR: After connecting the red wire of the rear cam to the positive electrode of the reverse light, the reverse line appears when you turn to the "R" gear; The streaming media enlarges the scene behind the car by 1.5 times, provide a wider field of view. The rear cam flip & mirror function makes this dash cam mirror perfectly compatible with RVs, pickups, and trucks, etc.
- 64G CARD & GPS INCLUDED: You can use the dash cam directly without having to purchase any additional accessories. The GPS and exclusive WOLFBOX Player features allow you to display your driving direction, speed, position, and route. This information could potentially serve as important evidence in the event of an incident.
- 1-YEAR WARRANTY & CUSTOMER SERVICESWOLFBOX: the backup camera mirror comes with a 12-month warranty, software upgrades, and 24/7 customer service. During this period, we will resolve any issues related to the product, installation, or usage for you. Please do not hesitate to contact us, as we typically respond to messages within 12 hours.

Product Description
WOLFBOX G850 4K Front + 1080P Rear Dual Dash Cam Mirror—Guide Your Car Safety
Warm Tips:
1. Please check the functionality of the dash cam with its all accessories before installation.
2. The length of the rear camera original cable is 20 feet, suitable for most types of cars. We have had 33 feet(ASIN: B0B4NSY89C) rear cam extension cable sold separately
3. A Hardware kit is needed for parking monitor functions, Please search this asin to get(ASIN: B09X1L1GMX)
4. Please format card termly in case locked videos occupy much capacity, release them necessarily.
5. Please use the original accessories provided in the package, just in case of compatible issues after using others'.
6. If you use a card capacity > 64GB, Please change the card〔Class10 ( 10MB / sec ) required〕 format to FAT 64 on the mirror camera ( a 64GB card is included in the package ).
7. Please confirm whether your cigar power port is ACC. (if the cigarette lighter is still charged after the car is turned off, please use the hardwire kit or unplug the car charger after the car is turned off, otherwise it may exhaust your car's power supply. ) (Note: This happens in some Ford/Audi cars, and electric cars).
8. If your car has its own reversing assist system, please ignore the reversing line of G850. The reversing system of the mirror dash cam can only be used as an aid. Unlike the usual reverse assist system that displays a 72-degree view, the mirror recorder can display a 180-degree view, so the rear image will be larger.
FAQ:
1. Is the rear camera able to be used all the time instead of the mirror?
The WOLFBOX Mirror Dash Cam can be used all the time instead of a mirror. it is smarter and more practical, you can understand it as an advanced electronic Multifunctional rearview mirror camera
2. If someone bumps your parked car in the rear, will the rear view mirror camera record in the parking mode?
Yes, Whether you are driving or parking, he will record the collision process, But you need to use the Wolfbox Hardwire Kit during parking(asin: B09X1L1GMX)
3. Can this mirror dash cam connect to my own rear camera?
This dash cam cannot be installed with your own rear camera, because it is not compatible with other cameras, our products come with rear cameras, if there is damage, you can buy our rear camera accessories.
4. Does Wolfbox mirror dash cam support WIFI?
The G850 dash cam does not come with WiFi. If you require WiFi, I recommend another product, the G840H (B08DRLY2R1).
5. Is the rear camera wirelessly installed, and does it have waterproof functionality?
This rear camera cannot be installed wirelessly, but it does have waterproof functionality.
Note: For more usage questions or accessories needed, please check the manual.

After installing the anti glare film on the g850 it pretty much took care of the glare issue and made it usable at any time of the day. Yes the video isn’t as crispy with the film on, but it has no effect on what’s being recorded so it’s not a big deal.
I did notice a difference in the back camera at night. It was a lot better and the light blowout from headlights wasn’t as bad. I was actually able to see separations in headlights behind me unlike the non wdr rear camera where the headlights just blended together.
I was lucky enough to get all types of weather in socal this week so I got to see how the camera did during sunny days, cloudy days and now rainy days. My particular concern was rainy days with the rear camera since I use it as my actual rearview. There were times where drops of water completely made it useless, but it only last for a few seconds if that. When it does get wet there’s a ton of light bleed from headlights, but again once you start moving it clears up. I would see this as an issue when you’re backing up into a drive way or parking spot and there’s no wind or movement to get the drop of water off the lens.
Overall I’m very happy with the dash cam. This 12” version definitely has its benefits, one being the greater field of view you see on the screen and of course the WDR rear camera. The video recording is nice an clear on the front, but the back, since it’s 1080p, it’s obviously not as sharp an image but you’re able to make out license plates a slower speeds and stand still.
Update: Finally got around to hooking up the wiring that engages the reverse camera and parking lines. Works great. I love how the video automatically angles lower to show more of the ground. If you drive a 2011 CT200H it’s the red wire that goes to the reverse light.
Note: If you do plan on installing the anti glare film be ready for a headache. Lint central! Be patient and start at one end and press down the middle. I would list the film back up if I noticed bubbles caused by lint and removed it. Too some time, but eventually got done.
Accessories and additional items included in the box(the dashcam is obviously included):
Silicon attachments (use these to hold the dashcam on the mirror, there are smaller ones for smaller mirrors which I used, and larger ones for larger mirrors)
Microfiber cloth to clean the screen
Power cord
Rear camera
GPS attachment
User manual
Installation:
As mentioned, you just attach the silicon stretchy brackets to the upper back hooks of the dashcam, hang it over your mirror, and then attach the lower part of the brackets to the lower hook on the dashcam. You then can attach the power cord and rear view camera wire and run them behind your paneling (I attached pictures and a video with a brief summary of how I ran my wires). Plug in the GPS (attach somewhere out of the way with the 3m tape), and then plug in the cigarette lighter adapter. Voila! You are good to go. Don't forget to take the protective plastic off the cameras (not that I have ever forgotten that haha).
Great features that are included:
General direction you are driving (N for north, SE for southeast etc.)
Time and Date
Speed
Screen Saver mode (in Screen Display under settings, talk more about this later)
Sensitivity adjustment (how big of a bump you want for the camera to recognize a "crash")
Brightness adjustment (turn it down to low, or use screen saver mode if you want to use the camera as a mirror instead, talk more about this later)
A very responsive touch screen
Button to take a picture
Change resolution (options are 4k, 2.5k, and 1080p. Default is 2.5k.)
Loop time of the recordings (options are 1 min, 3 mins, 5 mins. Default is 1 min)
Whether you want to record audio or not.
Option to attach the reverse line so the camera will automatically turn on the reverse camera when reversing
Can flip the rear camera (this means you can install it upside down or rightside up if you want)
Important things to note:
Running the dashcam requires a small amount of technical skill. Not much, since I am not super car savvy. However, if you want to setup the cameras in the best position possible you may have to get creative (I'll talk more about this later). HOWEVER, if you want the rear camera to automatically turn on in reverse, you have to splice or crimp the red reverse line into your reverse lights. This requires the correct tools and know how, which I did not have. I had to get a mechanic friend of mine to install it. He also installed the rearview mirror on the outside of my vehicle, above the license plate. To do this, he had to drill a hole behind the rear lights, run the wire through there and then out with the license plate light. If you do this, make sure you don't drill a large hole and then you weatherproof the hole with some sort of rubber, otherwise water will get in and rust out the car.
This dash cam functions as both a mirror and a dashcam. What I mean by this is that if the screen is off, it will act as a rear view mirror and you can see through the window behind you. If the screen is on, it will still show the rear view AS WELL as the footage on the camera. This can be a bit distracting, so what I do is I choose to put my Wolfbox in "Screen Saver" mode in the settings options. This turns off the camera while I am driving, but leaves on the nice features like direction and speed. My friend who also has this camera, instead chooses to just leave the camera on but have the rear view on all the time. Essentially he uses the camera instead of a mirror. One thing to note if you do this, is that cars will be closer than they look in the camera.
The manual is written with poor English grammar, and does not explain the features well. It requires some trial and error to figure everything out yourself.
Installing the rear camera in the recommended position above the license plate means that cars behind you shine their lights directly into the lens. This can make it hard to capture details of the car behind you at night.
PROS:
Lots of great features
Large screen with nice touch interface
Clear picture
Relatively easy to install
Legal
Easy to use
Option to use as a rear view mirror, or use the rear camera to see behind your vehicle.
Cons:
Poor grammar in manual
Hard to see license plates at night
The camera lens quality is good but not great, resulting in a picture that is useable but not as clear as I might like.
Overall my cons are mostly just nitpicks, and I think this is a fantastic camera. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone interested in installing their own dash cam.
A really cool feature they could add is Google maps functionality that displays google maps on the camera. That way I wouldn't even need my phone anymore. But that would require adding some totally different programming, so it's mostly just my own wish!

Accessories and additional items included in the box(the dashcam is obviously included):
Silicon attachments (use these to hold the dashcam on the mirror, there are smaller ones for smaller mirrors which I used, and larger ones for larger mirrors)
Microfiber cloth to clean the screen
Power cord
Rear camera
GPS attachment
User manual
Installation:
As mentioned, you just attach the silicon stretchy brackets to the upper back hooks of the dashcam, hang it over your mirror, and then attach the lower part of the brackets to the lower hook on the dashcam. You then can attach the power cord and rear view camera wire and run them behind your paneling (I attached pictures and a video with a brief summary of how I ran my wires). Plug in the GPS (attach somewhere out of the way with the 3m tape), and then plug in the cigarette lighter adapter. Voila! You are good to go. Don't forget to take the protective plastic off the cameras (not that I have ever forgotten that haha).
Great features that are included:
General direction you are driving (N for north, SE for southeast etc.)
Time and Date
Speed
Screen Saver mode (in Screen Display under settings, talk more about this later)
Sensitivity adjustment (how big of a bump you want for the camera to recognize a "crash")
Brightness adjustment (turn it down to low, or use screen saver mode if you want to use the camera as a mirror instead, talk more about this later)
A very responsive touch screen
Button to take a picture
Change resolution (options are 4k, 2.5k, and 1080p. Default is 2.5k.)
Loop time of the recordings (options are 1 min, 3 mins, 5 mins. Default is 1 min)
Whether you want to record audio or not.
Option to attach the reverse line so the camera will automatically turn on the reverse camera when reversing
Can flip the rear camera (this means you can install it upside down or rightside up if you want)
Important things to note:
Running the dashcam requires a small amount of technical skill. Not much, since I am not super car savvy. However, if you want to setup the cameras in the best position possible you may have to get creative (I'll talk more about this later). HOWEVER, if you want the rear camera to automatically turn on in reverse, you have to splice or crimp the red reverse line into your reverse lights. This requires the correct tools and know how, which I did not have. I had to get a mechanic friend of mine to install it. He also installed the rearview mirror on the outside of my vehicle, above the license plate. To do this, he had to drill a hole behind the rear lights, run the wire through there and then out with the license plate light. If you do this, make sure you don't drill a large hole and then you weatherproof the hole with some sort of rubber, otherwise water will get in and rust out the car.
This dash cam functions as both a mirror and a dashcam. What I mean by this is that if the screen is off, it will act as a rear view mirror and you can see through the window behind you. If the screen is on, it will still show the rear view AS WELL as the footage on the camera. This can be a bit distracting, so what I do is I choose to put my Wolfbox in "Screen Saver" mode in the settings options. This turns off the camera while I am driving, but leaves on the nice features like direction and speed. My friend who also has this camera, instead chooses to just leave the camera on but have the rear view on all the time. Essentially he uses the camera instead of a mirror. One thing to note if you do this, is that cars will be closer than they look in the camera.
The manual is written with poor English grammar, and does not explain the features well. It requires some trial and error to figure everything out yourself.
Installing the rear camera in the recommended position above the license plate means that cars behind you shine their lights directly into the lens. This can make it hard to capture details of the car behind you at night.
PROS:
Lots of great features
Large screen with nice touch interface
Clear picture
Relatively easy to install
Legal
Easy to use
Option to use as a rear view mirror, or use the rear camera to see behind your vehicle.
Cons:
Poor grammar in manual
Hard to see license plates at night
The camera lens quality is good but not great, resulting in a picture that is useable but not as clear as I might like.
Overall my cons are mostly just nitpicks, and I think this is a fantastic camera. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone interested in installing their own dash cam.
A really cool feature they could add is Google maps functionality that displays google maps on the camera. That way I wouldn't even need my phone anymore. But that would require adding some totally different programming, so it's mostly just my own wish!

Einzige Kritik: Die Anzeige der Himmelsrichtung dürfte wesentlich kleiner sein und die Striche links und rechts davon sind unnötig. Dafür wäre es wünschenswert, die GPS-ermittelte Geschwindigkeit würde grösser und damit beim Fahren besser lesbar dargestellt.

First and foremost, the clarity of the video recordings is simply remarkable. The G850 records in full HD 1296p resolution, ensuring that every detail is captured with utmost precision.

The user-friendly interface is simple to navigate, allowing for quick and easy access to various settings and playback options.
One of the aspects I appreciate the most about the Wolfbox G850 is its wide-angle lens. With a 170-degree field of view, it guarantees that every corner of the road is covered. This wide perspective ensures that no crucial event goes unnoticed, providing me with a sense of security and peace of mind during my journeys.
The built-in GPS system is an added advantage, enabling accurate tracking of my speed and location. This information can be crucial in case of an accident or dispute, ensuring that I have concrete evidence to support my claims.
Furthermore, the G850 includes a parking monitor feature, which automatically turns on and starts recording when any movement or impact is detected while the vehicle is parked. This valuable function offers an additional layer of security, making it an ideal choice for those concerned about their vehicle's safety.
Lastly, the overall build quality and design of the Wolfbox G850 are exceptional. It feels sturdy and durable, capable of withstanding the rigors of daily use and adverse weather conditions. The installation process was a breeze, thanks to the included suction cup mount and the long power cable.
In conclusion, the Wolfbox G850 12" Dash Cam has truly exceeded my expectations. Its outstanding video quality, user-friendly interface, wide-angle lens, built-in GPS, parking monitor, and overall reliability make it an absolute must-have for any driver concerned about their safety and peace of mind. I highly recommend this dash cam to anyone in search of a top-notch product that offers exceptional performance.
