Hi All,   A few weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to win a Wolfbox G900 TriPro Bumper Version after winning the action shot competition (thanks to all who voted for me). Today I wanted to provide a review of both the installation and the product itself after using the camera for a few weeks.   Installation **Front Camera** The instructions that come with the camera are not great. They give generic routes for the cables to run from the front camera and the rear camera, but they are not specific to any vehicle. Luckily, I’ve installed a few other accessories in my Bronco so, it wasn’t terribly difficult. The first camera I installed was the front bumper camera. They give you the option to mount it to the bumper with screws or adhesive (both included). I opted to use the adhesive because I did not want to screw into my steel bumper. I then routed the cable behind the front grill and in front of the radiator up through the opening where the hood latch is. From there you can simply route the cable around the engine bay to the driver’s side of the vehicle. Once here, you will need to find the self-healing rubber grommet that is located in the driver’s side footwell. This is where you will route the cable from the engine bay to inside the cabin. Try to keep the pass-through hole as small as possible so that it can heal around the cable and keep the elements out. This can be a bit tricky since the end is a 90-degree usb-c. I drilled a ¼” hole with a drill bit and then used needle nose pliers to spread the opening wide enough to fit the end through. Once the end is through, you will need to route the cable past the fuse box, into the A pillar and finally underneath the roof trim to the mirror. Just make sure all the wires are tucked behind the plastic trim and you should be done with this step. **Rear Camera** This camera is easier if you decide to mount it on the inside of the rear cargo area like I did (with a hardtop). If you choose this mounting location, you will need the additional double hinge mount they provide in the package. I used both the adhesive and screws to mount the camera to the seal at the top of the rear cargo window. Then, route the cables along the inside of the seal and along the same path as the washer fluid line and defroster cable. Once routed to the driver side cargo quarter panel, I removed the clip in piece near the roll pillar. Then remove both sill plates on the drivers side (I have a 4 door, it will only be one if you have a 2 door) and use a rigid fishing tape to fish the wire from the rear cargo quarter panel to the front driver’s side sill plate. From there you should be able to route the cable up into the A pillar and through the roof trim just like the front camera. **GPS Module** I put this on the passenger side dash area. It is as simple as routing the cable under the plastic trim into the A pillar and under the roofing trim to the mirror location.   **Hardwire Kit** This one was a little tricky to figure out just because the Bronco manual does not give you good enough information to decide which fuses to tap. Luckily Bronco6g came to the rescue. I’m not sure I can paste links here but, if you search google for Bronco ACC fuse, it was the 2^(nd) Bronco6g link listed. I used fuse 35 for the acc wiring and fuse 29 for B+ tap. I haven’t had any issues using those two locations. Once the taps are installed just follow the same wire routing path as the front camera.   Product Review Now for my actual review and experience of the product. Long story short, I like the camera. I think it is a neat piece of kit. It’s a feature rich camera with a few quirks and downsides but overall, I think it’s a good value product.   Let’s start with the mirror. It is wider than the stock Bronco mirror by a decent margin and allows for a nice wide field of view. The mirror can be used as both a digital screen that displays information and camera footage or, it can be used as a normal mirror. You can also have it display some information while the rest of the screen is black which allows for utilizing the reflective coating as a mirror on portions that are not displaying data.  The reflective nature of the glass does seem to be good quality; however, I noticed that things did not look as sharp as the original mirror. The coating is also quite dark so it can be hard to see details depending on outside conditions. At night I had to turn the screen completely off to adequately see in the mirror. That being said, I have gotten used to the difference in quality and it didn’t bother me after a week or so. You can also choose to leave the rear camera on and use that as your rearview mirror as well. This has come in handy when I have things piled up in the back and cannot see out of my back window. The mirror itself is the brain behind the whole system. Every camera and the GPS module plug into the top of the mirror. The mirror itself has a camera in it and you can view the 3 cameras in split screen mode or individually by swiping left or right on the screen. All actions for the system are controlled through the touch screen on the mirror. You can change setting for camera resolutions, screen saver timing (just turns the cameras off and goes to black screen), camera orientation and many more. There are quite a lot of options to go through. Everything was easy to navigate and understand. The footage from all 3 cameras also looks fantastic. The front camera is 4k, the rear is 2.5k and the front bumper is 1080p. I have not played them on a big screen yet but on the device itself I had no problems making out small details in the captured footage. Nighttime footage also looks great although I have only had the chance to use it on lit streets and highways. In order to download footage, you will need to download the app for your phone and connect to the device Wi-Fi. Download speeds seemed decent but not blazing fast. The camera loops footage at specific intervals and overwrites old files when the SD card gets full, just like other dash cams. In the menu you can choose between 1,2- or 3-minute intervals for the video loops. When you press the recording button on the mirror it will turn yellow and lock the footage which means it will not get overwritten. This is how you would record your adventures while exploring off the beaten path. I have not had a chance to go off-roading yet with the system, but I look forward to it. Using this camera system, you will get 3 different camera angles and have GPS location for where you were during your most exciting moments. It’s also an integrated vehicle system so, you don’t have to remember to bring a camera with you to capture anything which is nice since we normally have to remember a lot of equipment when off-roading already. The last feature I want to talk about is the parking mode. For this mode to be enabled you must install the hardwire kit. The feature will not even appear in the menu if the mirror has not detected a separate acc tap. When enabled, this feature uses low power to create a time lapse a very low frames per second for a set amount of time. I set mine for 12 hours but longer options are available in the menu. This will obviously not give you smooth footage to review but it is enough to recognize a culprit if someone were to do something to your vehicle while parked and gives you 24 hour video surveillance capabilities. The software is designed to monitor the battery level and shut off at a pre-determined voltage (I can’t remember what voltage) so as not to leave you stranded anywhere. I have not had any issues with starting my car after leaving it idle for 24 hours or more. The mirror also appears to deal with heat very well because it has not once overheated here in the Texas summer sun.   Overall, I like this camera system, and I believe you get a lot of features for the money you spend. There are some annoyances and things you’ll have to get used to (dark mirror with no auto dimming for example) but once you get used to those things you’ll have a great dash cam that can also work as an action cam. If you’re in the market for a nice dash cam, this one is a recommended buy from me.

I have a Wolfbox and like it. Good customer support in my experience. I use it on a truck where the center rearview mirror is blocked, so it's key to being able to see directly behind the truck via camera. And the dash cam works well, with the usual functions.

I just installed a Wolfbox G900 Tripro. Great unit; love it. Great customer support. Front bumper camera is killer for offroading. And the mirror dashcam is 4k. You could use it with the 12v cig lighter as a temp install, and run the cable for the camera up to the bumper with a temporary install, but not sure it's worth it in your case unless you intend to install it permanantly. They have models with fewer than three cameras, so you could use just the mirror unit and not the rear cam. Or maybe a used Go Pro even.

Pedal commander and Wolfbox tri-pro dash cam

They have a few models each. I got the G900 Tripro which has a Starvis 2 front camera. Not sure what the Purecel thing is in the rear (got these mainly to get a digital rear view). Pelsee p12 pro max has starvis 2 front and starvis rear.

Looking for the same thing as well. I have a WolfBox TriPro that I have no idea how to run thru the firewall and attach to my grill/hood/ something in the front of my car. Plus I would like to have it hard wired.

I have Wolfbox 900tripro, three camera system. Rear for rearview display (wish the display when turned off would become just a mirror) a forward camera on display "mirror" a la dashcam, and the third camera I use as a trail cam, mounted just under the fairlead to see what the hood blocks. This system records while parked for security as well as while driving. GPS enabled for speed display and direction. The visors were a problem until I purchased a windshield glued mount (moved the display forward and has greater range of motion) I would have preferred a greater zoom for rear camera as "objects are closer than they appear" the quality across the products are top shelf. 2 days after my installation the dashcam caught my wife telling me a bullshit story of how she was run off the road and that's how the running boards were scratched. Nope! Camera footage showed she screwed up all by herself AND recorded her practicing stories to herself on the way home on what to say. Paid for itself in two days. Your results may not be equal.

You can zoom the Wolfbox. Slide your finger up on the right side of the screen, to the right of the time.

I have it as well and love it

I just installed the Wolfbox G900 Tripro and absolutely love it. It replaces the factory rear view mirror, has a parking mode, and has fantastic quality
