   I did a google search for highest rated dash cams and this Wolfbox unit came up near the top of the ratings. I was in the market to replace my current unit that only recorded forward, and this one records both front and rear video in at least 1080p. The front camera can record up to 4k.Installation is simple, but comes with a few extras that may initially confuse you, but end up being rather thoughtful. Firstly, it’s helpful to know or map out exactly how and where you install this unit before you do it. And this is because you must first install a transparent film layer on your glass where the actual units will ultimately stick to. This film allows you to relatively easily remove the device should it need to be relocated or removed. The film is there so the 3M adhesive does NOT stick directly to the car glass and create a situation where you may damage your glass upon removal. Unfortunately the kit only includes 2 films, but they are approx 2”x3” wide so definitely big enough to provide some mounting flexibility. I was concerned the film would show so I ended up cutting them in half, but in retrospect, I really didn’t need to as they apply and stick fully transparent.Knowing how you will route the cables ahead of time will be of great help, because the rear camera connects on the left side of the unit, opposite of main power and may present some mounting options issues. I decided to mount mine directly behind my rear view mirror, in the same location as my original unit. Because I had the unit on the underside of the shaded glass area, I was initially concerned that it would inhibit the GPS function. It did not. However, the unit can take up to 2.5 mins to acquire a GPS signal, and from there all tracking info including speed, date and coordinate location is automatic.Keep in mind that the rear camera cable is exceedingly long and according to the instruction manual, it is meant to be routed on the outside of your vehicle above the license plate. I instead opted to mount the unit on the inside center of my rear window and had to try to deal with all the extra cable. The field of view of the rear camera is very wide and even from the inside, it covers the entire width of the rear window. Mounting the unit inside protects the camera, but be sure to keep your rear glass relatively clean so dirt and water spots don’t interfere with the clarity of the video.The rear camera records in 1080p with the front up to 4K. Camera settings allow you to choose a preferred combination of resolutions. I decided to keep both at 1080p for simplicity and to keep file sizes smaller that will allow more recordings kept on my SD card. I did notice tho that even though you can choose recording loops of 1, 3, or 5 minutes, if you have a video that gets interrupted before the total time, eg you turn off the car before the full 3 mins is recorded, that video is NOT saved. This may be a very bad thing. I’ll need to test a bit more to confirm. I also noticed a long period where the although the camera was on, it did not record any video for weeks. I didn’t catch that until I went to review my videos. I don’t think it was an issue with the camera rather more of an operator issue, as it is functioning normally now.Otherwise, I love that the front camera connects to the mount separately to make it easier to remove for maintenance. It turns on and off automatically with my vehicle, and recording starts immediately when the unit is powered on. The camera options are simple and easily accessed thru 3 buttons and the power button which doubles as your select button.Overall, I’m extremely happy with the performance of this camera both front and rear. Video quality is outstanding in both day and nights, however I either play my music way too loud or the microphone is too sensitive as my audio seems like it’s blowing out the mic’s capability to record cleanly. However, the audio was initially very clear, and I may have done something to affect its quality while playing with the settings. The display can show either front or rear or both, and will automatically go dark after 2.5 mins to keep distractions to a minimum.I contacted the manufacturer to obtain additional 3M mounting tapes for both the front and rear camera, and because they said they don’t sell those separately, they sent them to me for FREE! The first shipment was damaged and I received only the front stickers, so they sent me another shipment containing the rear stickers AGAIN! Such awesome and responsive service!It’s easier to view your videos by removing the micro SD card and connecting it to a computer. However, there is also an app that you can download, and although it works fairly well, downloading the video on the ad-hoc wifi network the camera creates can be slow and tedious.I highly recommend this camera for its ease of use out of the box, outstanding recording quality and flexible resolution options, and above all, affordable price.

   I was able to install this and hide the wires within an hour of opening the box. Super easy, didn’t even have to read the instructions. I recommend mounting the back camera with tap before drilling it down. Alternatively I just have mine stuck to my rear windshield and it works great.Only down side is bright lights and car headlights at night really smear across the screen. Hard to tell if it’s from the camera or just my dirty windshield. For the price it’s small, discreet, and gets the job done for ~$100 what more could you ask for?

   Just want to buy a dash camera for my new car to avoid some accidents. I hope the video recorded by the new dash camera will be clearer. And finally I chose this one as its 4K Ultra HD after a long time selecting.I can’t wait to install and check if the dash camera meets my requirement after receiving it.Finally, it didn’t disappoint me. The pictures are very clear.It also works well at night.I am so satisfied with it that I decided to buy a hardwire kit to keep the dash cam recording when the car is off. After my test, the built-in G-sensor is sensitive. When in parking mode, the dash cam will automatically power on and start recording when a sudden movement is detected.It’s just like my own monitor.So I think there is no need to worry about accidents with this small dash cam.

   Paid a local stereo audio installer to install the camera. I followed WolfBox’s recommendation and installed the rear camera just over my rear license plate. I’ve included a picture of the front camera install. I have had the camera installed for about 4 weeks now.The installer stated they just install dash cams but won’t go into the setup menu to program the device to your liking. Got price quotes from 3 installation companies and ended up choosing the one with the highest online customer ratings. They were also quoting the least to install both units. I made sure to have the installer understand that I wanted to keep the cameras powered even if the ignition was turned off.The unit is rather easy to get setup. I spent about 30 mins reading manual, to understand the options available as well as understanding which buttons on the front cam used to navigate the menu system. It took another 15 mins to select and setup the options I preferred.It’s become second nature to turn the unit on before I pull out of my garage, and I only turn it off after I return home for the evening. Otherwise, the unit is always on recording activity around my car when away from home. I bought a 256GB Samsung mini compact flash (CF) and set the camera to continuously loop through the available CF storage memory if it ever gets full. Also set the recordings of both cameras to save recordings in 3min intervals. The smaller file sizes make it easier to download to my laptop computer.Very happy with the unit, as well as WolfBox customer support. I had an issue 2 weeks after the camera was installed with the GPS no longer receiving GPS signals. Wrote an email to WolfBox support concerning the issue and by morning they responded with a suggestion that I replace the mounting bracket which houses the GPS device. The replacement mount arrived free of charge, 5 days after my email and took less than 5 mins to replace. Happy to say the new mount works flawlessly and very happy with the purchase.

   I have an old 1080P dash cam that has been used for 2 years. Now the GPS is not sensitive enough and the picture quality is not clear enough, so I hoped to try the 4K front and rear dash cam. After comparing it on the market for a period of time, I chose WOLFBOX 4K dash cam. There are several reasons.1. The price is reasonable and affordable. My budget is only 150$ at most. If you need to configure a full set of dash cam, you need to plan carefully. Fortunately, WOLFBOX promises to send the hardware kits, which saves some money. Thank you very much! ! (*^▽^*)2. 4Kdash cam, but there are three other selectable resolution modes. 4K+1080P, 2.5K+1080P, 2.5K+720P, 1080P+1080P. I only have a 64GB SD card, so the storage space is limited. When I don’t think high-definition recording is needed, I will choose 1080P+1080P resolution. There are many more options. Like it.3. WiFi function. The screen size is really not big enough, so the built-in WiFi function can solve this problem well. I can clearly watch the real-time video on my phone, and can also set it on the APP. Novice friendly! !So happy with this dash cam in this price point!!ヽ(ー_ー)ノ

   ASAS – July 16, 2020

   Nice full features 4K camera for less. Quality is great. Is it real 4K I don’t know but image is clear as can be expected. Can read plates if the car is next to you. As far as reading plates car up ahead that realistically depends on lots of other factors. Packaging is very nice and includes installation tool. The mount tilt up/down can be adjusted as precise as you want it to be (no thumb screw) though you can not adjust left/right so one and done.Tip I have extra 3M tape and applied one piece first. Then attached the mount (double tape). It does come with extra tape but I think this is for remounting elsewhere.The only big negative I see is that power is connected to the magnetic mount stick to your windshield. So trying to simply playback or adjust setting while mounted makes it very cumbersome. Though you can connect to wireless to playback and download. Or pull the chip and play on a computer. I imagine during an accident it would be initially quicker and simpler if one could play in the palm of an officers hand. Now that I think of it perhaps I will revisit and use the 3M extreme Velcro tape. I know in an accident it may knock free but that could happen with the magnetic mount anyway. The magnet is strong but an accident is an accident. Plus loss of power is possible in an accident too.To compare I also bought TOGUARD dashcam and that appears to be nice and simple but no gps and no wireless. But TOGUARD has one nice feature that you can toggle audio on and off during recording. Don’t see an option to do this on the Wolf.I recommend both WOLF and TOGUARD. Obviously WOLF is a full feature dashcam and very nice install kit.

   The media could not be loaded.  It took me for awhile to figure out how it work. It’s just easy to use. This dash camera picture and video are nice quality!

   First of all, I am very lucky to get this 4K dashcam at a discounted price. Overall I will recommend it to my friends when need a camera given it’s high quality and flexibility. I have some suggestions after using it for two weeks.Pros:Clear picture quality: As advertised, this is a 4K picture quality dashcam. There are four modes in the settings to choose from. Whether it is 4K, 2.5K, or 1080P, I think it’s good, which fully meets my daily needs.Simple operation: Although it cannot be operated on the touch screen, the combination of 3 buttons and a power button can already meet all operation requirements. As for the car camera operated by the touch screen, believe me, it will be very prone to failure. In addition, you can switch to the camera mode and the playback mode through the menu button. The seller does not seem to give a very detailed explanation on the page.APP: like me, sometimes I don’t like to take off the camera to set up, then I can choose to connect to wifi and view the video or operate on my phone, absolutely convenient.Cons:Manual: the seller should provide a more detailed manual. For those who use the car dash cam for the first time, I think it will be more novice friendly. I suggested to WOLFBOX, and they told me that they are currently on a detailed version of the manual, which surprised me. Maybe they heard the customers’ needs!!

   Everyone knows how important it is to have a reliable driving recorder. Recently, I just checked the video in the original car driving recorder several times, and found that the clarity really needs to be improved. I happened to see the WOLFBOX brand on Amazon. Some friends used their mirror dash cam and recommended it to me, but after comparison, I still chose the 4K dash cam!After receiving from Amazon, there are the front and rear main body of the dash cam, power cord, electrostatic stickers, car charger, bracket, manual, and 3M. Basically these things are all of this 4K camera, and then install it according to the operation.After using it for a few days, I found that the rear camera can still capture iconic road signs and buildings even when it rains at night. I think this greatly reduces the possibility of the vehicle escaping after a rear-end collision.And there is also an emergency recording function(G-sensor). When you encounter an emergency, it will record what happened in front of our car within 1 minute and save it to SD card first. This way, you don’t need to slowly go to the record and search slowly when recalling emergencies. You only need to playback to reproduce the situation at that time. I think it is the most basic function that a dashcam should have.Anyway, the WOLFBOX 4K dash cam deserves a thumb!

    Because the manual was not detailed enough, I wasn’t sure how to setup in my car at first. I connected the seller, the staff was very friendly and easy to communicate with. They were timely and thorough in helping me get my dash cam set up. They even sent me a hardware kit for free. Thank you!The app uses Wi-Fi to connect to your phone making the internet inaccessible while watching playback, need to pay attention, this is not a malfunction. Still learning about the dash cam but it brings me a little extra relief while driving. Love the product!
