Wolfbox G900 TriPro Dash Cam Review

When began my search for a dash camera for my truck, I needed something a little more on the rugged side to be able to handle the rigors of the places I go. I often find that the places I’m driving aren’t what you could consider roads, but more like trails. I also wanted a few features that could help me with some of the odd conditions I find myself in, such as dealing with limited rear view options when the truck is loaded up. The Wolfbox G900 TriPro ticks a lot of those boxes and they sent one to me for testing. This is the dash cam that is built for adventure.


Screen Time


The first thing you’ll notice with the Wolfbox G900 TriPro is the screen. Unlike traditional dash cams that are compact, the G900 TriPro goes big, with a unit that completely covers your vehicle’s rear view mirror. This may seem like a concern, but there is a rear view camera that does a pretty good job of giving you that same view. Well, not entirely the same. I mounted my camera on my rear license plate and it takes a little getting used to the view. Since I have a topper mounted on my truck, and the rear window of said topper is rarely, if ever, clean, so being able to see anything behind me is kind of new, but the camera view is different.

The mirror-replacing unit is touch screen and lets you easily slide through all of the options – and there are a LOT of them. The cam has built in GPS data, so you know which direction you’re going and exactly how fast you’re going there. You can swipe through the three camera views, with the front and rear cameras showing the exterior views and the interior camera showing you what’s going on inside the cabin, should you go that route. More on that in a moment.


Installation

I mounted the Wolfbox G900 TriPro in my Toyota Tacoma. The monitor is bigger than my factory mirror, but doesn’t take up too much space. Running the wires was a bit easier, as I had some wire guides left over from some other projects. I ran the cables under the back of the cabin and out along my topper to the rear for the rear-facing camera. For the interior camera, well, I opted for the alternative use that Wolfbox mentions for off-road use. I have mine mounted inside the front bumper as a close-up trail view camera for those times when I’m picking my way along a trail and need to see exactly what is in front of the truck. The mounting options that come with the camera make mounting it in discrete places a snap, and you’d be hard pressed to find the lens poking out as it is tucked up in the bumper/winch mount.

This ability to switch up how you use the Wolfbox G900 TriPro is what makes this camera system a very popular unit in the off-road world. Go on any Jeep forums and you’ll find this one all over them. There is an option for a bumper-view camera that is designed specifically for off-road use, too. This is awesome as you can crawl down a two-track trail and see the actual trail directly in front of your vehicle, as you’re moving. This is crucial for rock crawling, and the G900 TriPro helps. Note: The cabin camera, while it can be placed on the bumper as we have done, is not waterproof. However, the bumper-view camera that is included in the bumper version is waterproof.


As an off-roader, I like that this dash cam gives me the option to record high definition video of my adventures. The voice commands are a big plus, as I don’t always remember what the protocol is for some voice-operated things. I’ve had other products from other companies that have specific protocols for voice commands, such as saying the name of the device, and a specific phrase that has to be precise. Wolfbox made things simple, which is good for in the heat of the moment decisions.


You have a couple of options for powering up the Wolfbox G900 TriPro. You can run it off from your vehicle’s 12 volt plug-in outlet, much like a GPS or other accessory. You can also hardwire it into your vehicle’s electrical system. Hardwiring it into your system allows you to use the parking security features to their fullest, plus it helps eliminate some extra cable mess in your cabin.


The Technical Cool Stuff

The main camera uses a Sony STARVIS IMX678 CMOS, meaning it is going to be ultra clear and high definition, even in low-light conditions and with night filming. More of the higher-end dash cam systems are using these now and it is a welcome addition. In the past, dash cams were known for being low resolution and gave you grainy recordings that were pretty difficult to actually use. I remember some of the first dash cam footage I saw being so bad you could tell something was going on, but couldn’t really tell what it was. That is very much NOT the case with the Wolfbox G900 TriPro. It records in Native 8MP 4K and is very precise. You can kit it with a polarized lens cover to cut glare, too.


The rear camera uses an Omnivision Purecel® Plus OS04J10 CMOS that is rated for 4mp and 2.5K. Now, this isn’t as high definition as the main camera, but the quality is really quite good. For the camera mounted on the rear of my truck, it is better than the stock back-up camera on my wife’s van. I can’t say anything about the back-up camera on my Tacoma because there isn’t one, or wasn’t one until now. I can’t complain too much, as it was a base model and I got such a smoking deal on it, I was able to get by without some features like a back-up camera or intermittent wipers. Now I have a back-up camera thanks to Wolfbox. I don’t think a dash cam can do anything about my wiper blades, so I’ll keep on getting by.

It comes with a 256 gb memory card, but will support up to a 516 gb card. It has all kinds of recording options, including loop recording. You can swap camera angles, flip camera angles and split your screen between all three views at once if you want. There are a lot of options to play with and I suggest spending some time getting to know you Wolfbox G900 TriPro before you hit the road. I freaked out the first time I drove anywhere because I didn’t see that the camera being displayed was the front one, when I thought it was the rear. I had a car pass by in the opposite lane and for a split second, I swear I had a car trying to pass me from behind at the same time. Oops!


It also features collision detection, which is nice since you never know when that is going to happen. This is one of those cool features that we all hope you never get to use. But if it does happen, the G900 TriPro will jump in and record if you aren’t already. This gives you some evidence to determine things after the accident happens.


The Bottom Line


The Wolfbox G900 TriPro dash cam is more than just a dash camera. It offers the user a lot of options and upgrades for drivers, especially if your vehicle is not chuck full of the more common technical advancements most cars have these days. I know the option of using it as a rear camera/backup camera is really quite nice. For off-roaders, this is the first dash camera system that I’ve seen that truly takes that lifestyle into account, giving you some really fun and cool options for usage while on the trail and on the road.

    I have one of these as well. I do appreciate the larger rear view mirror and being unobstructed. You do have to be inventive with mounting. I modeled and 3D printed a front mount for my Ridgeline.


    One note, I did have to turn off the voice commands since something it heard regularly on the radio would command it to turn off the rear camera.

      You obviously haven't updated to version 1.5.7 of the firmware. It adds a special voice command that eliminate stray commands. It also gives you guidelines and distance calibration for bumper camera. I no longer have any issues with false voice commands since the update.
