We are back again with another Sony Starvis 2 offering, this time from Wolfbox. Presented here is the G900 Pro, featuring the 4K IMX678 sensor - and one of the first to be implemented in the rear-view mirror dashcam form factor. Conveniently, it appears there is a plethora of features in this dashcam - namely GPS, 5GHz WiFi, voice control and a IP67 waterproof rear camera with the tried and true favourite, Starvis IMX335. Wolfbox has not opted to provide their own custom image processing algorithms with this dashcam, therefore relying on the noise reduction from the Starvis sensors themselves.

When it comes to the unboxing experience itself, it is a two-tone affair with a black colour scheme adorning the outside with white interior packing contents. An interesting side-note is that the Starvis 2 feature is not advertised anywhere on the box itself - something I have not seen from any brand before. Contained within the box we have the dashcam itself, the rear camera module with wiring (with interior and exterior mounting brackets), GPS bracket, plastic pry tool, rubber mounting straps, and cigarette power light adapter. Also included is a 128GB microSD memory card, already inserted into the dashcam itself - a nice touch, as it is always handy to not have to buy another microSD memory card. Different sizing for the rubber mounting straps is another appreciated touch. There is no included circular polarising lens filter in the basic retail package, but there is the option to purchase it as an add-on.

First impressions of the laminated 12-inch fully-laminated display on the G900 Pro are very positive. While the resolution isn't stated, the legibility and colours are on-point with this display and appear fairly crisp - this is probably the best display I've witnessed on a rear-view mirror dash camera. At first I was curious as to why there is no extendible body, but due to the longer form factor of the G900 Pro compared to other mirror dashcams on the market, I presume it would not be required in this instance. The feel in-hand is solid, with no creaking, and the dashcam itself is not very heavy either - decent build quality is on show here with the G900 Pro.

Installation of the G900 Pro is a reasonably straightforward affair. Due to the multitude of wires running, this dashcam would require some additional work in hiding the cables out of view. Also, while the inclusion of two different mounting screw solutions for the rear camera is appreciated, I can see how this may be potentially confusing for some new users, as the instructions weren't immediately clear in the documentation. Upon starting up the dashcam, the installed firmware was from July 2024 - I did find the website download to upgrade it to it's tested firmware version from October 2024 - 11.241015.0.0.28-A0. My full review on this dashcam, coming up soon.

Ran some benchmarks with the included 128GB Wolfbox-branded microSD memory card. Results aren't going to set your world on fire, but you're not going to be left wanting and performance is quite decent for this A1 V30 card.

Some quick temperature testing revealed similar results to other rear-view mirror dashcams I have reviewed in the past. Overall, the G900 Pro performs well owing to it's form factor and ventilation outlets behind the motherboard/processor and image sensor units. For this test, the display was running continuously for one hour.


  • Outside air temperature: 26 degrees Celsius
  • Left-side of display screen (near front-camera): 46.8 degrees Celsius
  • Middle of display screen: 51.3 degrees Celsius
  • Right-side of display screen: 50.8 degrees Celsius

Screenshots below of the Wolfbox app for the G900 Pro dashcam. It's a pretty basic feature-set, but unfortunately suffers from asking for a splash-screen (that can be skipped), and asking for multiple unnecessary permissions each time on start-up.

Wolfbox has released a firmware update for the G900 Pro, dated November 2024.

Official changelog:

- Reduce the probability of voice-activated false triggering
- Solve the issue that after setting the speed unit as KM/H in app, the speed unit in the video watermark is displayed as MPH
- Modify the problem of Italian and Japanese font
- Save the configuration after the angle adjustment of the rear cam in the preview interface

Upon installation I noticed new changes in the camera settings nor the companion app itself.

Very nice where did you find the changelog can I ask 🙂
 
Some promising news for G900 Pro, as Wolfbox has been hard at work on improving image quality from both the front and rear cameras. Below are stills from beta firmware dated January 2025, that improves the rear camera quality and brightness of the image at night.

Will post here when the new firmware update is released. No word as if HDR has been added to the G900 Pro, hopefully it will be at some stage.

Wolfbox has announced the new version of the G900 Pro, the G900 TriPro. Some hardware changes are on board, which are nice to see the removal of the older IMX335 with a 2024-release OmniVision sensor:

 
Have you experience any issues with rear camera randomly switching on or screen glitching on the 900Pro?

I did at times. I think their firmware won't fix it by the looks of it.

They get around it by releasing the G900 TriPro haha

Thats a shame. I want to get a good Mirror dashcam (reliable, voice command, wifi) and almost bought the 900Pro until I read about the issues people having with them. The G900 TriPro is over priced in my opinion and I don't care for the interior cam, so no Wolfbox for me.

What do you think about the Pelsee P12 Pro Max?

Haven't had experience with the Pelsee sorry, can't help you there
 
Would you recommend the 900Pro? How often do the issues happen? When it glitches, does it at least keep recording?

It happens here and there, it does keep recording by the looks of it. Would I recommend it, I'm not so sure. There are plenty of people on their forums having similar issues - and other issues too.

I honestly think that the G900 TriPro isn't just extra cameras - it's a response to the issues that they can't seem to fix with firmware on the G900 Pro, so they swap out the hardware. That's my opinion anyway.
 
Just wondering if you upgrade from the G900 PRO to the G900 TRIPRO are the rear camera cables compatible with the new rear Omnivision Purecel® Plus OS04J10 camera. Do we need to swap out the G900 PRO rear camera with the new cable that comes with the G900 TRIPRO?

Don't think so, because the old G900 Pro has it's rear camera with an integrated and non-detachable cable , so I would presume the new g900 TriPro would be the same too
