WOLFBOX G900 TriPro 3 Channel Mirror Dashcam Review Front, Rear, and Cabin

Correction. Wolfbox advised me they do not include a memory card and it is a separate purchase. Please remember this if I say otherwise in the review, thank you.

Lia from WOLFBOX contacted me and supplied the G900 TriPro 3 channel mirror dashcam (cabin camera version) for review.
Everything below is based on my own hands on use of the unit, not the spec sheet, not the marketing copy, just what actually happened when I fitted it to a car and drove around with it.

What is the WOLFBOX G900 TriPro?

The G900 TriPro is a three channel mirror style dashcam that records from front, rear and cabin cameras at the same time. It clips over your existing rearview mirror, and the 12 inch screen effectively becomes your new mirror. The front camera is built into the mirror unit itself, while the rear and cabin cameras are separate units connected by cable.

On paper, the device features a highly capable camera system; however, practical testing revealed several notable considerations to keep in mind prior to purchase.

Build Quality and Design

The G900 TriPro feels solid and well made; this is not a flimsy piece of kit. It's also not light. My unit came in at around 500g, and that weight matters a lot once you remember it's designed to hang off your car's existing mirror.

The 12 inch display is one of the highlights. It's crisp, easy to read, and the touchscreen is more responsive, if anything, than the touchscreen in the MG I had it fitted to, and I'd even say it held up well against my iPhone 16 Pro (admittedly with a privacy screen protector on, which never helps). All the ports sit along the top of the mirror unit, which keeps cable routing tidy since everything exits from one area.

Mounting the G900 TriPro

This is where my biggest problem with the unit showed up.

Using the existing mirror as the mounting point is a good idea in principle, and installation itself is simple; the supplied heavy-duty rubber straps make fitting easy. The trouble is that the MG's factory mirror wasn't strong enough to reliably carry the G900 TriPro's weight. Once fitted, the unit gradually crept downward while I was driving, and the drift got noticeably worse over rough surfaces and potholes. I first noticed it on a UK motorway.

To be clear, this isn't a knock on the front camera itself. The IMX678 is an excellent sensor and held steady, it's capable of very good footage. The issue is that it's bolted to a mirror that was never engineered to carry an extra 500g. That added weight introduces vibration, and on poor quality or gravel roads it can shift the front camera's view entirely.

WOLFBOX has clearly anticipated this. There's an accessory kit that replaces the original mirror and bracket, using the factory windscreen mounting block so the swap is straightforward. On cars where it fits. I wasn't able to test this kit myself, since the MG was a rental and I had a deposit to get back. I also couldn't use WOLFBOX's supplied windscreen mount as a workaround, because the MG has a black plastic surround with a different fixing arrangement around the mirror area. So on this particular car, I used the standard mirror clip method.

It's a shame, because I suspect a proper windscreen mounted solution would have solved most of the movement issue I ran into. To be fair to WOLFBOX, designing one mounting system that works flawlessly across every vehicle on the market is close to an impossible task, but it's still worth checking whether the bracket kit suits your specific car before ordering.

The rubber mounting straps

The supplied straps make installation easy, no complaints there. The MG's mirror glass has no bezel around it and sits fully exposed. I used the smaller straps supplied to avoid the unit scratching or marking the mirror. That's less a criticism of WOLFBOX and more a reminder that your own mirror's design will affect how the install goes.

Note the extra rubber straps used to protect the original rear vision mirror.

Front Camera — Sony IMX678

The front camera is the Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 with a native 8MP sensor built for high resolution and low-light performance, and 4K UHD recording.

My issue was never with the sensor it was keeping it still. When the mirror stays put, image quality is very good. But once that 500g unit starts vibrating or slowly sagging, even a great sensor can't perform to its potential. That distinction matters, as someone watching sample footage in isolation might assume the camera itself isn't sharp, when actually the mounting is the limiting factor, not the IMX678.

CPL Filter — A Design Problem

The CPL filter gave me a genuine surprise. It came apart on its own, and I caught it on video. It's possible this is intentional, allowing the glass to be removed and swapped but if so, it opens far too easily, with only a slight rotation needed to pop it loose.

Beyond that, it didn't feel securely seated on the front lens, and because it couldn't be pushed fully into position, it partially encroached on the camera's field of view. For a camera at this price, I'd expect the CPL attachment to be considerably more secure. This is one area I think needs a redesign.

Rear Camera

The rear camera unit itself feels robust. It uses the OmniVision OS04J10 sensor recording at 2.5K, and WOLFBOX specifically promotes the OS04J10/PureCel Plus combination for better night performance and in my testing, that held up. Night footage from the rear camera was genuinely good.

My install was a bit unconventional, since the rental's rear window had a dark tint and forced a non-standard placement but even with that working against it, the results impressed me.

The bracket, though, is another story. The rear camera itself is good; the mounting hardware isn't. The supplied metal brackets feel too flimsy for the job and are unnecessarily fiddly to fit. There's also the option of stacking multiple hinged/adjustable brackets to get the angle you want but every extra hinge is another point where vibration can creep in, and a dashcam camera needs to stay rock steady. Even

small amounts of movement translate into visibly blurred footage. A solidly built camera let down by mounting hardware that doesn't feel equally substantial. I'd much rather see a simpler, more rigid bracket here.

Cabin / Interior Camera

This was my other big disappointment. The cabin version uses a 1080p interior camera with four IR LEDs for night vision, and WOLFBOX markets it as designed for low-light conditions. In use, though, the image quality didn't come close to matching the front and rear cameras for a camera meant to document what's happening inside the vehicle, I expected a cleaner picture.

The strange pink infrared issue

There was also an odd glitch at one point. The cabin camera's footage, which should have been black-and-white infrared, came out pink and dark pink instead. It looked like the camera wasn't switching properly between colour mode and infrared mode. (Note: This may have been caused because there is another cabin camera in the car with its IR LEDs on.)

Watching the video back I am certain this was only happening because another under test IR cabin camera was in use. I think this may have made the Wolfbox register the bright light as normal daylight so didn't alter the IR filter setting.

For context, an IR camera normally has to manage the handoff between the sensor, the IR illuminators, and an IR-cut filter blocking infrared during the day so colours render correctly, then letting it through at night so the IR LEDs can produce a usable monochrome image. WOLFBOX confirms the cabin camera has four IR LEDs, but I couldn't find published detail on the type of IR-cut filter used, whether it's mechanically switched, or how the filtering is implemented. This feels like something WOLFBOX needs to look into.

Screen Brightness

At night, on an unlit road, the screen was too bright even at its lowest setting. A 12 inch display is brilliant in daylight, but at night it becomes a large glowing panel sitting in your peripheral vision. I'd like to see a much lower minimum brightness ideally low enough to approach the dimness of a normal mirror, giving you the information without becoming a distraction.

Heat

The rear of the unit runs quite warm. I wouldn't call this a fault on its own cameras and a large display drawing power will generate some heat but since the whole thing is clipped directly to your factory mirror, I'd be curious how sustained heat affects different mirror glass, plastic surrounds and mounting hardware over the long term. It wasn't an issue during my review period, but it's worth flagging. I used the extra supplied rubber bands to lift the G900 off the rear view mirror to help prevent damage to it.

GPS

The GPS itself works fine, though the physical design is a little odd, it needs to sit facing upwards, yet the mounting sticker is on the underside. That makes it awkward to stick neatly and discreetly to the upper windscreen the way you'd want. Minor gripe, but a small detail that could be improved. On the plus side, coordinates are logged in Decimal Degrees format, which I found handy.

Hardwire Kit

The hardwire kit enables parking mode, but its low voltage cutoff around 11.8V is a bit conservative for my liking on a conventional lead acid car battery, if the goal is protecting the battery from deep discharge. Repeatedly running a lead acid battery down to a low state of charge shortens its lifespan, which matters if you're planning to leave the camera monitoring the car regularly while parked. A higher cutoff, or ideally a selectable threshold depending on your battery type and condition, would be a welcome option.

CLA Power Adapter

Worth a mention is the cigarette lighter adapter which includes a 5A Powder fuse and an extra USB-A port rated at 2A output. That spare port is a useful touch it saves you from plugging in a separate USB splitter if you want to charge a phone at the same time.

Touchscreen and Menus

Another strong point. The touchscreen is responsive, the menus are logically laid out, and navigating a big 12 inch display beats fiddling with tiny buttons on a conventional dashcam. It made configuring and reviewing footage noticeably easier than most dashcams I've used.

The WOLFBOX App

This is where things fell flat. I couldn't find the same depth of settings in the app that were available directly on the unit's own screen it's possible I was on the wrong app version or missed a setting somewhere, so I won't claim the functionality definitely isn't there. But going purely on my experience, the app wasn't especially useful. It also picked up a completely unrelated dashcam I had fitted, a Vantrue P2, which struck me as strange and didn't seem to serve any obvious purpose. I'm planning to revisit the app at some point, since I'm open to the idea that I simply hadn't figured out how it's meant to be used.

What I Like

Excellent, responsive 12 inch touchscreen
Logical, easy to navigate menus
Straightforward installation via the rubber straps
Clever use of the existing rear view mirror as the mounting point
Front camera is nearly invisible from the driver's seat
Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 4K front sensor with strong image potential
Good rear camera low-light performance
Solidly built rear camera unit
True three channel recording
Cabin camera adds a useful extra view of the interior
GPS with Decimal Degrees coordinates
5.8 GHz Wi-Fi and voice control
Extra USB-A output on the CLA adapter
5A fuse in the CLA adapter
Large, easy to use display

What I Don't Like

Heavy, potentially too heavy for some factory rear view mirrors
Unit gradually slipped on the MG's original mirror while driving
Vibration from the unit's weight undercuts the IMX678's real capability
Couldn't use the windscreen mounting kit on the MG
CPL filter came apart and doesn't attach securely
Rear camera brackets feel flimsy and fiddly to install
Rear camera bracket design allows too much opportunity for vibration
Cabin camera image quality lags well behind the front and rear cameras
Cabin camera briefly produced a strange pink/magenta infrared image
IR switching/filtering behaviour needs investigating
Screen stays too bright at night even on its lowest setting
Unit runs quite hot at the rear
Hardwire kit's ~11.8V cutoff feels low for protecting a lead acid battery
App felt underdeveloped in testing

Overall Verdict

I like the concept behind the G900 TriPro a lot. Replacing your factory mirror with a 12 inch digital display covering front, rear and cabin in one unit is appealing, and the front camera backs that up the Sony IMX678 is a very good sensor, and it was the right choice for this camera.

The catch is that a great sensor only shows what it's capable of if it's held steady. On my MG, the factory mirror simply wasn't up to supporting roughly 500g reliably, and as the mirror moved, so did the camera, taking image quality down with it. That won't necessarily be everyone's experience it depends heavily on how sturdy your own mirror is, but it was a real limitation for me, and not being able to use the windscreen mount to sidestep the problem was frustrating, because I think it would have fixed most of it.

The rear camera is good, particularly at night, but the bracket needs a rethink something stronger and simpler, with fewer hinges and less room for vibration. The cabin camera was my other significant letdown, sold as a 1080p infrared camera with four IR LEDs. I expected decent low-light results, but image quality was underwhelming, and the pink infrared glitch was a disappointment, even accounting for the fact that I can't pin the exact cause without more information from WOLFBOX on the filter setup. Screen brightness at night also needs addressing. 12 inch panel is great by day, but it needs to dim much further after dark so it doesn't become a distraction rather than an aid.

Final Thoughts

The G900 TriPro is a good idea, let down by a handful of practical details. If your car has a mirror sturdy enough to comfortably carry the unit, your experience could look quite different from mine. For me, the biggest issue was the camera not staying on the MG's factory mirror, closely followed by the cabin camera's shortcomings.

I'd like to see WOLFBOX tighten up the mounting system, redesign the CPL filter attachment, sort out the cabin camera's image processing and IR handling, and offer a low night time screen brightness. Get those right, and this could be an impressive three channel mirror dashcam.

As it stands, my impression is positive on the concept and the core hardware. The front and rear sensors are both good choices, but with real reservations around mounting stability, the rear camera bracket, the cabin camera, and night time screen brightness.

For transparency the unit was supplied to me by Lia at WOLFBOX, with the only request being that I complete this review before 14 September. Everything written above reflects my own findings and opinions, and WOLFBOX had no input into what I've written.
