Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update: Camera failed after 8months of use. No extream heat or cold in the Seattle area, so I expected to get at least a year of use from the camera. Wolfbox did not respond to my request for a warranty exchange. Suggest buying another brand. Quick summary: Good 4k value camera with 1080p rear at the time of this writing. Does have some drawbacks, but considering the price point these may be acceptable. Pros: Appears to be a real 4K sensor, not an up-scaled 1080p/1440p. (assuming the ID for the sensor is accurate. I didn't open it to check). GPS seems to get a quick lock. Reasonable start up time. Magnetic base for quick removal. The manufacturer shipped a hardwire kit at no addition cost. Comes with screws and tape for the rear camera. Front camera tape seems to be good quality, and the camera appeared to be well fixed. Can display the front, rear, or both camera views at the same time on the camera's lcd. Audio recording can be disabled. Cons: Can not use larger than a 128GB micro SD card. Reflections are bad on the front camera. I may get a cpf filter for it. I suspect all cameras without a filter will have issues in my car due to the steep angle of the glass, so take this con with a grain of salt. Tape is used rather than a good suction cup for camera mounting. I understand that this is simpler/cheaper. Should you need to move the setup to a new car or adjust it after it is installed, you will have to be careful not to hurt the glass if prying and the the tape will probably need to be replaced. Rear camera tape is junk. It wouldn't stick to anything. The sticker says it is 3M, but it performed worse than any 3M tape I have seen before.. Fortunately I had some good 3M double sided tape left over from another project which I used to fix the rear camera. The rear camera uses a headphone like jack, and it connects to the camera rather than the base. This negates the quick removal feature the magnet base provides. The rear camera connector requires at least a 1" clearance on the side, so don't put it too close to your rear view mirror, or you will not be able connect the rear camera easily/at all. The rear camera does not appear to a switch to flip the image, but you can pop it out the bracket and flip it upside down if needed for mounting with a flat edge screwdriver. Reading license plate numbers off the rear camera videos will be difficult in anything other than well lit/good weather conditions with little to no motion. If you were to be rear ended by a hit-and-run driver, hope they go around the front of your car so that the 4K camera can get their plates. The rear camera is only 1080p, so I expect that this going to be a universal problem. Audio quality is not very good. It really needs a background noise filter. However audio is not the primary focus of this unit, so I didn't dock any stars for that. You could probably clean it up some in post production if needed. Other items of note: 4K video is saved in x.265 format, and 1080p is saved in x.264. These appear to be fixed, and not adjustable. Manufacture support email is a Gmail domain based account. This does not instill confidence that the manufacturer will be around for a long time. Using the camera wifi connection with your cellphone will likely disable the phones ability to connect to the internet at the same time. This is a shortcoming of cellphones, not the camera. However it should be noted. File names are timestamps dates and marked a or b for the front and back respectively. 4K front video uses about 700 MB and the rear uses about 200MB every 3 min. This is a little variable based on compression. I would assume a need of 1GB per 3min of dual video. I.E. a 128gb card will hold about 6 hours of video before overwriting the old data. The only time I could see this being an issue is if your car is hit while parked and you don't get back to your car in under 6h. The G sensor is supposed to move the data to a non-overwrite fold if it detects the impact.
