WOLFBOX G900 TriPro 3 Channel Rearview Mirror Dashcam - Bumper Version (4k+2,5k+1080p) Unboxing & Testing

[Julian23]

After using several traditional dashcams over the years, most of them with wedge style or round housings, I was curious to try a mirror-style setup. The G900 TriPro (Bumper Version) from Wolfbox caught my attention for a few reasons: the external front cam for better placement, the newer Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 4k image sensor. It also promises 3-channel recording with decent low-light performance and support for large memory cards, which is important to me on longer drives.

I just received the new Bumper Version and wanted to share my first impressions along with a detailed unboxing. This model combines three camera inputs in one system: a built-in front-facing 4K mirror cam, a 2.5K rear cam, and an additional external 1080p front cam that can be mounted on the bumper. That low-angle perspective is something I’ve been wanting to try out, especially for tight parking or spotting curbs and other low obstacles that the built-in lens might miss and that the driver can't see at all.

I won’t go into firmware or video quality just yet, as this is only an unboxing and first impression.


Here are some specs:

Unboxing:

The main packaging includes the mirror dashcam, the hardwire kit (separately packed), and the optional OEM-style mirror bracket to replace the OEM mirror.

Contents of the hardwire kit, including multiple power tap connectors in different fuse sizes and a CPL filter.

Close-up of the different sizes of power tap connectors and the CPL neatly stored in a small metal box with a cleaning cloth.

A printed insert explaining the purpose of each port.

The mirror dashcam itself is securely placed in foam inside the box.

Three accessory boxes and the license plate bracket.

The external front camera with a cable harness that includes protective sleeving, rear camera with its own harness, GPS module, trim removal tool, adhesive pad, and another cleaning cloth.

The adjustable lens of the built-in mirror camera tilts vertically and horizontally.

Included 256GB microSD card.

Benchmark results from the SD card show solid read and write speeds.

First Impressions:

The overall packaging feels well thought out. I especially appreciate the attention to detail, like the CPL filter being stored in its own case and the extra shielding on the external front cam harness. That kind of protection is important when routing cables through engine bays or behind bumpers, where heat and movement can become a problem over time.
The mirror cam feels solid in the hand. Port labeling is clear, which makes the setup very intuitive.
I’ll install the unit soon and follow up with testing on image quality and how well all three channels work together in real driving conditions. Looking forward to seeing how the bumper-mounted cam performs, especially in tighter spaces or lower light situations.

Can you check the CPL-Filter?
With my unit it was almost impossible to mount the CPL-Filter. I needed to use MASSIVE force to fit it correctly without having the edge of the CPL in the image.

It feels like a good thing. It makes a good impression. I felt the same.
But if you really look at it from economical and especially environmental side in my opinion this is a bit unnecessary.
Because not only that it procuces an excessive amount of trash (especially the plastic bag and bubble wrap arount the box), it always takes A LOT more space adding up the environmental footprint in shipping.
Not only China-Europe (often airfright I suppose because truck/train via russia is a problem) but also Reseller to customer. I think with the same space, you can ship like 4-5pcs Viofo/Vantrue/Rove/70mai or other CPL.


But apart from that I'm curious in your testing results.
From my impression the HDR-Performance at night is unfortunately not too good.
I don't know if they can really improve that with the chipset they are using.

Edit:
Sorry for editing the message a few times. Tried to cut it shorther because I wrote too much.

I checked with the CPL. Some force is required to slide it on but not too much.
It can be slightly seen on the edge. But I also had this with other dashcams. Doesn't bother me.

I guess a manufacturer can't make it right for everyone. With the E1 Pro, many people complained that there wasn't a case for the CPL. I read it several times.
Now a case is included that can be used to store other things when mounted.
Can't make it right for everyone.

I absolutely get your thoughts with the economical perspective but on the other hand, if the manufacturers wishes to deliver it like that, then it's up to him.

Plase give me a couple of days to get my testing footage. I'm currently very busy but once I have results, I will happily share them here.

Download: https://wolfbox.com/pages/firmware

Update instructions: (posted by Wolfbox)
Copy the firmware file to the root directory of the SD card.
Insert the SD card into the dash cam, and it will recognize the firmware. A prompt will appear; click to confirm and start the upgrade.
After the upgrade progress bar is completed, the dash cam will restart and turn on automatically, indicating that the upgrade is complete.

 

[Julian23]

The update installed without any issues.
There is a progress bar while updating to see the status of the update.

A change that is immediately noticeable is the new boot screen.

The Voice command wake up word is "Hey Wolf" and not Hey Wolfbox according to the menu.

The optional added distance line can be calibrated as required by the user.
With my mounting angle I could use an even wider setting than it allows me to.

I will share a picture of the installation in the car tomorrow. Unfortunately it got too dark now.

Here are some pictures from the engine bay that show the front bumper cam cable.
The cable sleeve came in handy while pulling the cable and will avoid any potential issues caused by a sharp edges in the engine bay.

It will be interesting to see how that performs over time with bugs, dirt, spray etc

Is there an option for a clear screen protector?

I hope it will handle it just fine. Time will tell. We currently have a lot of rain that will give it a good test.

Wolfbox doesn't offer a clear one. Only the anti glare one.

I finally had time to take some pics in daylight.

All 3 views at the same time:

Mirror camera

Bumper camera

Rear camera (mounted on the headliner on the inside of the car)

It is extremely easy to switch between these different views with just a simple swipe.
The shown area can also be adjusted up and down and even zoomed.

Here are some screenshots

Is there a recommended sky:road ratio for a bumper cam?

 

[Augustus]

Is there a recommended sky:road ratio for a bumper cam?

Why would there be? Looks fine to me. Purpose is for it to see closer down to the road, sky isn't a priority.

I wasn't saying it was wrong. Just figuring out how this view adds value to the normal front view. Aimed down towards the road makes more sense than 50:50.

 

[Julian23]

Is there a recommended sky:road ratio for a bumper cam?

No that I know of.
I just set it low enough, that I can see curbs as good as possible.
That's all it should do. See what's directly in front of the car.

It still sees a lot more than just road but I think 10-25% sky is the max is should have to be effective.
Just my personal opinion

 

[Julian23]

With the bumper version having two different forward facing cameras, its able to capture plates from the top down and the bottom up. Depending on the conditions one is better than the other.

The following conditions are difficult. Headlights are off but its not very bright because the sun is still very low in the morning.
But even with these hard conditions the TriPro captures the plates.

 

[Julian23]

While the plate capture is a big part of a normal dashcam, it's important to remember that the TriPro is more than a dashcam.
It's a digital rear view mirror. For cars, RVs, vans without a rear mirror, the TriPro will add a big amount of safety and visibility.

In the mirror I am able to clearly see what is happening behind me or even directly in front of me with the bumper cam.
The rear view can even be zoomed in.

I would rate the visibility good in my car. But even then, the TriPro rear camera shows me more in the camera than I could have seen in the normal mirror.
It does reduce blind spots significantly!

Here is a random screenshot at night. Is it dark? Yes. Could you see more in a normal mirror? Not really.

If the TriPro gets used in a lifted pickup that doesn't come with a front cam from the factory, it will greatly benefit the visibility.

Yesterday while driving on the Autobahn, the camera picked up quite a lot of insects. And of course my car too.

I washed my car a few hours ago and didn't purposely avoid the camera but also did not blast it with the pressure washer directly.

While driving home I checked and everything is fine.
The coating on the lens is still looks like new, no water or mist in the camera.
I will report if anything out of the ordinary happens.

 

[Julian23]

The TriPro has been baking in my car with outside temps of 35°C. The interior was obviously much hotter.
It started to record without any issues. No heat shutdown or similar.
