Just installed the g900 tripro.

I am extremely underwhelmed by the rear camera.

In broad day light, the rear image is significantly darker than the front camera. It’s dark enough to make it a safety issue. On a sunny day, the view out the windshield overpowers the dark image from the wolfbox’s rear camera

It doesn’t help that Wolfbox doesn’t allow you to adjust expose compensation for the rear camera.

I am surprised by the lack of more people calling this out. I would not have gotten it, if I had known about this tremendous drop in usability with the rear camera. Makes me wonder - Something wrong with the unit I have?

@WolfBox will you guys be allowing exposure comp on the rear camera? Doesn’t make sense for that feature to be limited to the front camera

Photos below taken in manual camera mode. So there is no auto exp compensation from my camera.

See the image of the wolfbox comparing against the infotainment screen, to give you a reference.

A photo of the front camera is also attached to showcase it’s not a display issue. Purely a camera issue

I have the exact same issue and criticism. Try wearing sunglasses...you cannot see a thing. I was told by one installer that's the way these cameras work when they face the Sun. Still better than stock mirror but not ideal. I've considered buying anonther system, but i'm afraid it will be the same.

Our Subaru with OEM digital rear mirror is excellent. The image is so pretty sometimes I glance at it too much, when there is a nice view towards the back of the car.

This Wolfbox rear camera is blue-ish and dark. I need to stare at it for 0.5sec - 1 sec to make out the content of the image. It’s terrible.

@WolfBox this can be trivially resolved by enabling exposure compensation on the rear camera…
 
As long as we are being critical, I think the Wolfbox camera could be much better at night as well. It is still better than the stock camera, but there is room for improvement.

Do you have examples of modern digital rear mirror that works materially better at night? I would say our Subaru’s oem camera is slightly better at night. But Night n Day better during daylight.
