I just bought one. Arrives tomorrow... However, I got the 4k front and 2150 back cam version. A little bit more moola, but I think the better cam in the rear is useful. Also, I really appreciate you going over the safety features here, because that's the primary reason I bought it, and there seems to be very limited info online about it all.
A little tip for new installs, just set the smart features to auto calibrate, then you can turn it off and tweak the setting yourself. This is most helpful on the LCA as that can be tricky to set the 8 dots right
Just came in last night and installed this morning. Took about 90 min to full install, hide wiring, and route the rear cam to the exterior. Really nice touch with the auto backup down view. Haven't played with the safety alerts much but noticed you can't run them all at the same time. I would say that's the only negative. Also would have been nice to have a built-in GPS antenna vs the external wired harness. Just ordered the hardwire kit for passive recording.
@@joephu nice! I didn’t hook up the red wire for auto backup since I already have a backup camera. And ya idk why they couldn’t just put the GPS module inside it? 🤷🏻♂️ haha. Sounds like you had a fast install time!! Haha
@@appalachhaun_adventures I installed the hardwire kit. Works great. After powering off the car, the screen has a pop-up that says time lapse starting, then the screen turns off. Nice touch. I set the frame per sec to 1 and duration to 24 hrs. The battery save feature (auto-off) is a little to aggressive for my liking as 12v means you car may not start. I put the toggle to the most conservative setting 12.4v cut-off.
If you had brought the regular version, then all four safety features work together. Unfortunately it is not there in the expensive version which I think is absurd. Perhaps it is better to go for the earlier version. Who knows! Pelsee may agree to an exchange. All that you got to do is to remove the unit and put the other in. I think it is worth the effort because all four working together is a valuable asset.
@@anthoneymahateva5851 yeah, plus the lane change doesn't work right with the latest firmware which support acknowledge. I returned the P!2 Plus to Amazon and got the P12 Pro. Basically identical unit but lacks the WIfi mobile viewing. Since I don't see needing that feature much, it was worth the swap and now everything works great.
@@thatyellowJT ya I wasn’t sure about it at first before getting it. I didn’t even mention all the crazy dash cam accident videos out there!! Never know when you’re in a wreck and might need the video evidence! It offers quite a bit for $130!
I’m just wondering if leaving the dashcam plugged into the cigarette lighter would drain your car’s battery when the car is turned off? Will the dashcam also turn off when your engine is off? Thank you.
@@carmelamabelprincipe6610 you unplug it and plug it in when u turn off and on vehicle. U can get the hardwire kit that runs wires to battery that will turn it off and on with vehicle
@@livingthereallife1 there is a red wire on the rear camera wiring. If you connect the red wire to your back up light on your vehicle, it will trigger the back up camera view and also turn on the guide lines to assist backing up. I didn’t not connect that red wire because my vehicle’s entertainment system already has a rear backup camera on its screen that does that for me. So I didn’t need this rear view mirror camera to also do that.
Great video! It looks very similar to the Wolfbox G900 I ended up getting few months back when I picked up my new JL. I have the same problem with the ACC box being in the way of the viewing in the front, but I live with it. The other issue I have and I wonder if you do too is putting down the driver side sun visor. I can't pull it all the way down without hitting the 12 inch dashcam. It's just too wide and interferes. Is yours like that too? I do like your dashcam a little more than mine. The Wolfbox doesn't have the app features or the lane departure or blind spot monitoring. Those are nice features!
@@WreckedBrewery yes for the visor. The passenger side visor is still good. Because the front camera on the mirror dash cam, it blocks the driver side sun visor. However, I can pull the sun visor towards me while it’s still folded up and bring it towards me a little and then fold it down and towards the windshield and the push it back where it belongs and it works that way. 😂 if that made sense
a little too early to tell but from the features and price alone, for some reason the pelsee is the only mirror type around that range with the safety alert features if that's what you are looking for. Night vision on the pelsee also looked better than wolfbox to me when comparing review pictures. I'm not sure why wolfbox is the best seller on Amazon atm never bought one to try and can't speak on longevity for either. I used to own a brand named "veement" with a 2.5k rear camera but the night vision still wasn't that great. It's been going strong for 3 years and I only switched now to pelsee for these extra features. From my research these mirror types night vision isn't that great compared to other types of dash cams but that is the trade off if you want to use it for everything else. I've found that settling with one that works decent for me but not the best is good enough
Just got mine today and tested it out. Good for the most part except one problem I had that's most likely user error but hard to tell. When I tried both auto and manual calibrate for ADAS the only safety alert it'd give me is "watch for collision." Nothing for the vehicle in front starting or for pedestrians. Has anyone else had this problem or knows a fix? would appreciate
@@credzcribb7439 I don’t think so. There are settings to make the alerts louder if you need to though. They all just come through some sort of speaker within the mirror.
@@johnnyyoungjr2096 I had to tighten the crap out of the little screws in mine that isn’t on a license plate. I think for that, you’ll have to figure out a way for the entire license plate to be pointed very solid with no play. Maybe some of that foam tape padding on the back of the license place to help hold the license plate itself? 🤔
@@darengibo it just needs to fit right over top of your existing mirror and then it has the 2 places where the rubber pieces will go around the back of your existing mirror to hold this mirror on it.
@@appalachhaun_adventures yeah, it is the "curve" at bottom of the onstar mirror that makes it not fit perfectly. Wondering if this one was better fit..
@@dayday9350 I think it works in any vehicle that has a 12b cigarette lighter home charger type outlet in it. That’s all you need. Then it just wraps over top of your regular rear view mirror.
Hey! I have a newer car that doesn’t have a 12v adapter cigarette lighter plug in. I only have a type c and usb. Do you know how I can still connect this? Maybe somehow converting it? Is there a converter plug or something? Thanks in advance! Anyone is welcome to comment please.
@@stevensam8834 I can try it with just the USB port on the mirror plugged into USB in my Jeep to see if that will power it. My Jeep is in the shop so it may be a few days tho. The 12v power cord plug in is a USB C on the mirror. Maybe just a regular USB C cord will work. Not sure if that will power it. I can try. I can also ask the company themselves via email!! Let me see what I can do!
@@stevensam8834 the best solution is to buy the mirror + hardwire kit together. If you go to the link below or the link for the mirror in the video description you’ll see you can get the mirror + hardwire kit bundle for like $10 extra.

@@stevensam8834 the other alternative would be a standard usb-c cable from the mirror to your vehicle.

@@mohammedkahwaji4023 Only reason you want to to have power when vehicle is off and locked is if you want to have the 24/hr parking monitor on so it’ll record if the vehicle is hit.
