Very good quality screen and much easier to use than my last one. Definitely worth the price. My only problem that I've encountered is that my car has quite a chunky bit of plastic for a front wide view camera system and this makes it very difficult to connect the power to the dash cam and it makes it difficult to adjust the mirror to see out the back, however its a bit easier to just use the rear camera to see out the back as it covers a lot more road surface than the regular mirror.. if any of this makes sense..

Dashcams. Nowadays, especially in the UK, these devices are becoming more and more important, with more and more people (and less and less police) on the roads. Insurances give discounts for them and they help cover you in the event of an accident, so purchasing the right one is paramount to protecting your car.At the time of writing this review, the camera costed ~£125 which is on the lower end of what it's been priced, having originally been up to ~£200. This may be because Wolfbox are now offering newer models with more up-to-date features.So firstly, setting up. What Wolfbox doesn't tell you is to have the reverse camera functionality, you need a volt meter. I'm not too fussed about this, and to this date I can't review this part of the camera as I haven't used it.Besides that, setting up is relatively easy. I drive a 2004 Toyota Yaris and the trim puller provided is very useful and makes tucking the wires away easy. If you're unsure, you can always google your car and someone will have worked out the best way to route wires, but in a lot of cars the headliner trim will just pull out / trim clip out.The front main camera simply clips over your current wing mirror, which is clever. It looks a bit strange though, but that doesn't bother me. Wolfbox actually do sell bespoke mounts, which I think is a bit cheeky to not include it in the mirror (more on that a bit later on).Keep in mind that if you want to set up the rear camera outside you're going to need to find a way to route the cable from the inside to the outside.This will differ car by car and this took by far the longest time to set up, so just be aware. Alternatively you can just set it up inside which will be easier.Overall, setting up didn't take too long. Best done with two people if you can though; made it much easier.The quality is good. The unit feels and looks solid, and it's a nice looking product. I can see the lens of the cameras are high quality, and this is reflected in the picture quality, which is fantastic and where this unit excels.Despite being just 1080p at the back, the colours are really well balanced on both sides. The angles are really good, especially in two-view mode, and you can see registration plates, in poor lighting, whilst cars are moving. Legitimately impressive.The camera at the front is also good quality but seems to struggle a bit more in low light.I will add that I've installed the rear camera on the outside which has made a huge difference, as my rear window is tinted, so to get the next picture you may need to persevere routing it outside.Against what the manual says, I found the best place to route the camera is high up pointing very slightly downwards. The attached hinge makes adjustments a doddle, too, and the front lens has plenty of play (although they could've motorised the front lens: physically moving it about feels a bit primitive and I'm wary of smudging the actual lens).The GPS functionality seems to work just fine, both directions and speed.The user interface is easy to use, and is touchscreen.Wolfbox supply you with an aftermarket program to view your footage and, although simple, does the job rather well. Downloading it was a faff though as the website in the book wasn't valid any more. (Just Google "Wolfbox software eu").So why haven't I rated it 5*?Well:- The accessories could do with updating. Included is a USB C-type (to input the camera - good) connected to a cigarette adapter. This is a bit frustrating, as I'm already using the adapter socket for bluetooth, so why they didn't just include a long USB C to USB A cable is beyond me, especially if you're paying nearly 200 quid.- Screen glare. Especially in bright conditions, it can be really distracting and makes going from a simple mirror to a screen much more difficult. Hilariously, Wolfbox sell an anti-glare sticker for £6 on their website. Just makes you think why they wouldn't chuck it in the accessories box? Or why it hasn't got an anti-glare film on the product already. Odd, and somewhat greedy in my humble opinion.So far, I've been pleased with the quality of the product. I've heard that Wolfbox are good with their customer service (though I have no firsthand experience - thankfully). The dashcam has only been installed for one day as of this review, so time will tell if it lasts. Hopefully it will.Make sure you buy a long USB-C to A if your cigarette socket is used up, and it's definitely worth buying an anti-glare sticker (one thing I will update once mine arrives).
