Well done for pointing out the bit about focussing. So many reviewers miss that. With a mirror you focus on the reflection so similar to as if you’re looking forward; with a screen like this you focus on the actual screen. Same problem with video door mirrors.
Grateful for this review. I've been waiting for a true 4K image quality mirror dashcam for the form factor. Crucial in a car with limited windshield area, who's view I'm not willing to block for a glass mounted dash cam. Plus it's just a seamless integration clandestinely mounted nearly invisible to outside eyes. The visual interior aesthetics matter. Terrifically thorough as always.
I have the Wolfbox G900. I like it because I have a Jeep and the spare tire and rear seat headrests obstruct the OEM mirror. This gives me a clear field of vision. I also like that you can look at the rear view, front view or combined view with a swipe of my finger. The only thing I don’t like is the rear view could be brighter. I purchased the mount that replaced the OEM mirror. Looks much better.
Thank you for reviewing these rear view types of dashcams. Can't wait until they catch up in features to regular dashcams as I like having the screen to see the videos and also like the view at night vs a regular rear view. Please keep on reviewing these for a better parking mode and a better rear camera resolution.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I can finally breath, been holding my breath waiting for this video. Hope there will be more. Now I can order the Nexigo, after my blue skin tone returns to normal.
I've had my Autovox x1 since 2018 and it has been fine but I've been looking to upgrade. Thank you for doing a dashcam mirror review I hope you do more! Please do a review on a dash mounted screen with the all in one combo that has apple car play and android auto. I had a similar setup that allowed me to run waze on the HUD screen and highway radar on my phone connected to my Uniden R4
Nice work, 100% through. I'm impressed it has both codecs, (H.264 & H.265). That's what I've been trying to tell Vantrue, 70mai, Thinkware, (but not VIOFO). lol Now we need a rear view mirror competitor from VIOFO, along with a suction cup model for rental car / temporary applications. -Chuck
hehe yeah it's nice to see companies building in solid specs. We've been waiting a while for Viofo to release their RVM dashcam, but it's also nice reviewing some other brands besides the usual suspects for a change. :)
Wolfbox G930 JUST installed today. Swapped out the OG mirror for this newer model with the replacement bracket. Haven't installed the hardwiring kit as of yet. This "Nexigo" version looks extremely similar, like the same manufacturer is producing them.
I'm looking forward to that, too. Obviously, customer service is what makes or breaks a manupackager, but I've never heard of Nexigo until Vortex put up this video. I've seen Wolfbox a time or two, but not actual footage, either.
Thanks for this video. Have been waiting for one of this video from you. I actually love the concept of mirror dashcam than the traditional dashcam, because it serves mores fulfilling purpose than just a windscreen attached dashcam. I can't wait for major reliable dashcam producers (Viofo, thinkware and the likes) to dwell into mirror dashcam production for true resolution as advertised. I just got one myself of recent, and really on the pricey side (pormido prd80), I will love to see you review it. Some major issue I had while looking out was 1) Reliability (How long they last) 2) True resolution (as advertised) 3) OEM look (So many of them are really rubber rapped to the main mirror like the one you reviewed, and also had to plug in all accessories from the top like that). I simply hate to see wires like that 🙄 These and some other factors so limited my options, The pormido doesn't really really give me the resolution I wanted for the front (4k), but ended up having a single unit viofo unit for the front, used the mirror dashcam for the rear and interior. I anyways ended up with the prd80 for its OEM Look majorly and clear footage even it's 2k & 1080p.
Just checked it out and yeah I see what you mean. I like that it replaces your RVM and that GPS is built in, but that’s pricey for a 2K cam, plus the cam is external like a traditional dashcam. Cool to see a variety of approaches to all this though.
@@VortexRadar Absolutely pricey for a 2k cam, was able to get some discount off it though, by speaking to the Customer Care (one of the best responsive one have seen). I simply got sold on the prd80 for its design. Though I also found some suiting bracket mounts (sold alone) on amazon that suits different mirror cam to avoid rubber rapping it on the preexisting mirror, to give it some OEM look. But the connecting wires from the top couldn't be addressed 😃. Thanks 👍
Hey, great review. You mentioned in the video quality section about vibration and not having a hardmount kit available (something not rubber band based). Have you had a chance to peel up the feet of the back mounting to see if the rubber band mounting tabs were screwed on, in which case that would open up the opportunity for someone to make a bracket or 3d print a bracket for a more sturdy hard mount. A lot of people's ball socket mounts are worn out or get accelerated wear due to heavier mirror dashcams like this, something to consider. Excellent content as always!
As a mechanic I feel the one thing we overlook is the added weight to the existing mirror and the possibility of it being popped off the glass glue. I don’t know. Just something to ponder. They sell other types the remove the old mirror completely and slide the manufacturers design on to the OEM glued piece.
Great Review, I have a few mirror dashcam and this one seems promising. I really like the back up camera in which I may install on my daughter’s car I am getting in a few weeks.
@VortexRadar You mentioned processor/imager overheating being a pervasive problem in your 2024 Dashcam Buyer’s Guide reviews. Has any company looked at adopting Gallium Nitride processors & imagers as those are far more heat tolerant than Silicon processors & imagers? Sony Starvis seems to be adopted by many dashcam companies, have you broached this in your talks with their reps? Is there a big yearly trade show (or shows) like CES for tech but that features dashcams & if so what is it called?
@@VortexRadarYes it is used in chargers and many other applications that involve high voltages because of their tolerance of higher heat but they are also used in many other applications like satellites because they are more tolerant of wide temperature swings & can be hardened better against radiation. I remember you talking with a dashcam rep in one of your previous videos, I didn’t know if that was broached in your talks with them. It seems to be a pervasive problem with dashcams & even GoPros overheating.
I had mirror dashcam that would overheat in the summer months even though the top part if the windshield is heavily tinted. Please let me know how this one copes with the heat. Could you also find one that records at 60FPS
Another great video! I've been a subscriber for a while, especially for your budget buyer guides and best of YYYY videos. I have three teens with three cars, I am especially drawn to the RVM form factor, and I like your "minimum acceptable features" approach. I'm particularly impressed by the Nexigo's image quality side-by-side with your PQ benchmark video. I assume you'll tell us pretty quickly if there are any problems, but do you and she have a schedule to set up a revisit video for this Nexigo product? 😁
The video I NEEDED, currently have an old car and wanted a dash cam that blends in but the current selection of rearview mirrors is sketch but I will take a crack at this one!
Yeah I thought about that too. Probably a way to try and remain price competitive with the fake 4K dashcams? Either way, it’s nice to see someone building a dashcam with reasonable specs and hopefully the Gen4 adds WiFi. :)
Outstanding video. You consistently provide concise, detailed, relevant information. Concerning the Nexigo D90 Gen 3 RVM camera system, I have five questions: (1) can an OBDII plug be used to power the forward and rear cameras (if so, recommendations)? (2) can the rear-view camera be installed inside the vehicle? (3) I wish to confirm that the flashing "recording" light is not seen when the dash cam/mirror is in active use. (4) if desired, can the GPS info be prevented from showing up on the recorded files? (5) can a dedicated battery be installed in the passenger cabin if desired (I apologize, I have yet to review your vids on battery installations but intend to do so). FYI, I am new to the consideration of dash cams, and desire to install a system in my 2020 Chrysler Pacifica before a 3,500 mile road trip starting October 10, 2024. Thank you in advance for your kind response.
Great review video on this D90, does this dashcam have an option for an INSIDE the vehicle camera, to record inside the vehicle or interactions at the drivers window (leo, etc.), or have you reviewed a good dashcam with all three camera options?
Thanks! Yeah for the cabin cam, there’s a lot of options. I’m this video talked about some of my favorites from Viofo, VanTrue, and Blackvue. ua-cam.com/video/nrvTxCEBbek/v-deo.htmlsi=YFy0iM_xDmcGgayf Personally I run a Viofo cabin cam.
Hi, I really like how detailed your dash cam reviews are and was wondering if you could possibly do a review on the new Wolfbox G900 Pro that just came out this month? Thanks!
Wow, that's cool, I had no idea such a product existed. And your review was super-thorough as always. The thing I disliked about what you showed of this product was having to tap into power for the rear camera. It's a minor thing but I'd rather not make any permanent changes to my car, even just installing a tap like that, and it seems unnecessary. i.e. other brands' rear cams like Viofo don't require that. Hopefully they can correct that in their next version. How's the rearview at night? Is the camera sensitive enough to be able to tell what's going on, or does the regular mirror mode work better? And if so, does the regular mirror do auto-dimming via electro-chromatic operation?
The fuse box taps are optional for parking recording. I’m a little confused by your comment though since that’s how you do it with other brands too, especially if the cig. lighter turns off when you turn off your car. If you’d like driving only recording, you could certainly stick with the included cig. lighter plug.
@@VortexRadar Thanks, I meant the stuff at 14:46 where you had to find a separate power source for the rear camera. EDIT: sorry, nevermind, I just realized that was to get the reverse signal, not to power the rear camera!
The new Wolfbox G900 Pro uses the new Sony Starvis 2, Has WIFI and voice control. It also has a 2.5k rear sensor. They say it does 5K forward without the rear camera connected.
Good and honest review. Only thing disappointing the rear cam is not 2k and no option to replace the OEM mirror mount like you can with Wolfbox. I have the Vantop 4K dash cam and having issues with the power connector going bad which seems to be common problem with this model. Glad Nexigo went with usb-c instead of the aging mini usb connector.
The only thing missing from this setup is the cabin recording. Do you think that you can flip the mirror toward the inside of the vehicle if you want to record an external interaction on the driver window?
I'm still looking for the very best brand/setup... pretty much an all in one dash cam for my 2019 440i xdrive - I'll buy the add-ons but I think Blackvue is the way to go for there features!? 😳 front view, inside cabin view, rear view, and two on other cameras for the sides if possible 😅😅 - what are my very best options for my f32 440i 😮?🤔 💭
I tend to prefer the Viofo's for their video quality and Blackvue's for the cloud features. You can learn more about those options here: ua-cam.com/video/nrvTxCEBbek/v-deo.html For getting a bunch of extra camera angles, there's a ton of ways to approach it. Here's some different styles: ua-cam.com/video/BbD6PoN6nZY/v-deo.html
What would you recommend for the best rear camera mirror for the least rear image glare and sharpest image? That would be 90% of my use. In multi-lane driving, being able to have a wide field of rear view for lane changing, for me, is invaluable. I just had a Rexing M2 installed, and the reflection glare and washed-out images are awful. I would appreciate any suggestions you have. I like what I have read about the Nexigo. Thanks! Charlie
Sorry, but as mentioned in the video, I haven’t used most of them because there’s so many with false advertising, so I couldn’t say from personal experience. I don’t know many people who’ve used a bunch of RVM dashcams, but you could always try asking here: dashcamtalk.com/forum/
Can the lens be rotated to align with the horizon? Because thats one of the major issues with my wolfbox. The rearview mirror is in angle and the horizon is off.
Watching this video made me second guess the wolf box g900 that was just delivered to me. It's not running that starvis 2, and for as much as these things cost, I don't want to pay premium for old tech. Do you think /know if wolf box will be releasing a mirror cam with that starvis 2 anytime soon? Also in your opinion, should I return the g900 and get this d90?
I haven’t tested the Wolfbox so I can’t say how it is otherwise, but personally I appreciate when companies are honest and don’t lie for the sake of sales.
What do you mean? Their lineup is still listed there. I also just double checked the links in my description and they still point to their Amazon products.
Yeah I wish it was adjustable. I put it on a dedicated battery pack to avoid that whole issue. ua-cam.com/video/rWksn8HaT8Y/v-deo.htmlsi=-MMRmyHkguk79aBk
That would be nice. Do they make RVM's with CarPlay? I know there's a lot of aftermarket solutions that go in your dash or sits atop it. You'd need extra wiring to tie it into your car stereo, but it would be handy.
I would think the aspect ratio would be horrible for it, but either way I've never seen advanced features in the rvm units. Likely due to distraction liability.
This is how I got my Nextbase dash camera. They have a “renewed” line for 50% off. Free shipping and included a SD card. Worth a look. Decent app as well.
@@deluge6479it always surprises me how much some people are so ready to put down their fellow man and support corporate overpriced garbage. Does it make you feel better that you might have more money than someone else? That you can afford overpriced luxuries? Do you know just how fickle and shortsighted that is? How easy all of it can be taken from you? Be better. People that you call “broke boy” today could be the same people putting a dollar in your cup on the street tomorrow after you lose everything. Humble yourself before life humbles you.

Depends on the accident. Unless you're smashing the car at over 100 miles per hour.

The parking delay of the impact and recording is a deal breaker, totally missed the action, in 5 seconds a car could vanish.

@@danvuquoc no, but one day oled will be the cheap new standard, like how this Qled is, and before LCDs were.
it is also fake.
all cameras look like cameras from the same manufacturer. same accessories, same firmware design.
it all looks the same as a wolfbox
Missing CarPlay
That would be nice. Do they make RVM's with CarPlay? I know there's a lot of aftermarket solutions that go in your dash or sits atop it. You'd need extra wiring to tie it into your car stereo, but it would be handy.
I would think the aspect ratio would be horrible for it, but either way I've never seen advanced features in the rvm units. Likely due to distraction liability.
@scrampker Great points
Way too much money
You can also pick up a refurb version of the original D90 for about half the price. amzn.to/3xNifCN
This is how I got my Nextbase dash camera. They have a “renewed” line for 50% off. Free shipping and included a SD card. Worth a look. Decent app as well.
Broke boy
The Hard-Wiring Kid-does it have to be from the company, or can it be anyone ?
@@deluge6479it always surprises me how much some people are so ready to put down their fellow man and support corporate overpriced garbage. Does it make you feel better that you might have more money than someone else? That you can afford overpriced luxuries? Do you know just how fickle and shortsighted that is? How easy all of it can be taken from you?
Be better. People that you call “broke boy” today could be the same people putting a dollar in your cup on the street tomorrow after you lose everything. Humble yourself before life humbles you.
