Wolfbox help

[Morejeeps]

Which mirror dash cam do I need. I’m sure the g900 is the best but I would rather have a 10” model that fits between the visors.
I have a Willys XR and would like to see the car behind me. I would rather not spend $300.

930 10” fits between the mirrors if the mirror screen is perfectly straight. Mine is mounted with the oem to 930 mount. If the mirror is canted towards the driver it still hits it. Worst part is that the camera picks up a large part of the housing behind the mirror when recording. Forum isn’t letting me post pics for some reason.

Thanks. I seen where someone put 1/2” spacers on the bracket to move the mirror away from the visor. Maybe it is low enough to get a better view

Is there a scenario where that blockage would be an issue? You can still clearly see the road, which I would think is the primary concern.

First dashcam for me so not really sure. Only thing I see in my limited use is that it misses certain traffic lights. I guess it depends on angle of approach to the light / intersection. I was more worried about someone jumping on my hood and claiming I hit them (con artist) Probably overthinking all of it. Totally happy with it though. Especially the rear image.

Yeah, I guess it could obscure a traffic light that would otherwise be evidence. Good point.

It seems you prefer the G930 model. We also have the center console base bracket.

Dash mount is neat. I like the Wolfbox mirror because it doesn’t look like a dashcam to prying eyes. Especially when the top and doors are off.

I wish they would make a dashcam that was literally just an OEM rear view mirror, with a discrete camera installed in the back side.

I don't need some fancy LED screen, I just need the assurance of knowing my road activities are being recorded.

And I like to go roof and doors off most of the summer, so I don't need something that is obvious to thieves.

With most of them you wouldn't know it's a camera unless you're explicitly looking for it. In your situation they'd still see the camera installed on the back of it and treat it the same as one that was fully functional.

They'd have to be explicitly looking for it though.

What I am saying is, imagine a dashcam where from from the driver's seat you can't even tell it's a dashcam.

You'd have to be explicitly looking for mine too. Unless it's on, of course. I haven't had a single passenger realize that it was anything special until I turned on the Jeep. Most of them are intended to look completely stock when off.

I seriously doubt that there's a significant market for what you're describing.

Agree to disagree.
