Anyone installed a Mirror Dashcam in their Defender?

I've been thinking for a long time about putting a dashcam in the Defender incase of the unthinkable. But these combined Mirror Dashcams look really interesting. The best ones have 4K front and 2.5K rear cameras, the rearview mirror can work as a standard mirror, or as a monitor of the rear camera (like the new Defenders).

They also display date/time and speed (external GPS included). I wish they would display actual lat/long position and altitude as well, I know the info is there, just not programed to show it for now..

The Rear Camera is waterproof, and I was thinking I could make a mount that puts it behind the spare tire, poking out between the spokes.

The most common mounting option for the mirror is to strap it to the existing mirror with the included silicon straps, but there are kits to make most of them a permanent replacement for stock mirror. They are wide however (most of the better ones seem to be 12"), and I suspect will interfere with the use of the visors..

WolfBox G900 is my current favorite..



Ultimately not something I'm ready to invest in right now, but curious if anyone has, and how it has worked out for them..

have had a similar unit on mine for about a year. I love it. has forward and rear dash cam recording. it works as my rear view as I have a 35"spare. also works great for trailer hookup/backup.

@LRNAD90 Did you ever get the G900? I recently stumbled upon an ARB unit, but it appears to be off the market, not yet released, or Oz-market only???

That is a nice looking unit, but good luck getting ARB-USA to special order Oz-only items for you (was not successful the one time I tried).

Down-under, ARB has *freestanding* stores, and half the Toyotas you see in the outback are covered in ARB gear; fun place to visit.

No, I didn't, unfortunately many other 'to-dos' on the list first..

(I think subconsciously I'm waiting to see a 4Krear camera to go with the front)
