Why the front lens image is tilted?
Please rotate the front lens to adjust the front image.
Why doesn’t the WOLFBOX G840S rear camera work?
1. Please confirm whether the rear cable is installed correctly, pay attention to whether the 4pin connection position is loose and whether the position of the host and the rear camera mouth is loose. Please try to reconnect.
2. If still not work after reconnection, there may be a problem with the cable. Because when wiring in the car, it may cause the metal wire in the rubber to bend and cause a short circuit.
Why can’t it automatically switch to the rear camera when reversing?
1. Check if the 4pin is loose, and if the rear camera port of the dash cam is loose.
2. Check whether the red wire of the rear camera cable is connected to the positive pole of the reverse light, please do not connect it to the brake light or other.
3. If the connection is correct, please use a tester to measure whether the voltage is output from the reversing light when in reverse gear.
Why WOLFBOX G840S dash cam does not work/cannot be turned on/freezes/restarts repeatedly?

The files with an “R” mark in the file name are recorded by the rear camera.
The files with the “F” mark in the file name are recorded by the front camera.
Why does the G840S dash cam keep on after the car is turned off?
Please confirm whether your cigar power port is ACC if the cigarette lighter is still charged after the car is turned off, please use the hardwire kit, otherwise it may exhaust your car’s power supply.
How do I use the reversing system when reversing the car?
First, you should turn on the “Show reversing line”, then you can enter the “Reversing line” option in the settings to adjust the angle of the reversing image and the reversing line. Also when in reversing, you can adjust the viewing angle of the image.
Why does the G840S dash cam keep sound “deng deng…” during driving?
Please check whether “Over speed remind” is turned on. Please change the speed option in the settings or turn off this function.
Why does the G840S dash cam keep beeping during driving?
Please check whether “LDWS” is turned on. Please use it correctly.
Why can’t it be saved after changing the time setting, it will change back to the original time after a period of time.
After connecting to, the dash cam will automatically update the time according to your location and time zone. So if you want to adjust the daylight saving time, please change the time zone instead of setting “Clock Settings”
Why does my WOLFBOX G840S dash cam shut down automatically?
It may be that “Power Off” or “Screen save Options” is turned on. please check carefully. If you do not want to use these functions, please turn them off manually.
Why does it beep when placed horizontally?
If LDWS is turned on, it will stop beeping under the correct usage conditions. Otherwise, it will beep. So when placed horizontally, the LDWS error warning was triggered.
Why is G840S dash cam every video recording so short?
We set the recording interval of each video to 1min/2min/ 3min.
This is for the convenience of finding the locked video later.
The main function of the recorder is to record, especially to record emergency video. If each video is too long and the G-Sensor triggers emergency recording when a collision occurs, the video will be locked and cannot be covered by the loop recording, and customers will be difficult to find the video in the subsequent search. You need slide the longer progress bar to find this locked video.
And the capacity of the Micro SD card is limited, if the locked video is too long, the normal video capacity that can be stored will decrease.
Why is my WOLFBOX G840S GPS not working?
If you cannot receive the signal after inserting the GPS, please follow the steps below.
- The vehicle must be within a large area.
- Insert the GPS plug again.
- Place the GPS plug upward.
- Restart
- It will be recognized after about 40 seconds.
If still cannot receive the signal, it may be a GPS problem.
I have my reverse camera installed and I believe working properly. However, I can no longer use the mirror function, as in to look in the rear view mirror and see who is in the backseat, etc. Is the intent of the system for the G840S to no longer be able to use the monitor as a basic mirror?
Secondly, I always have an image in the monitor, which is quite distracting. Can I turn the monitor off while I am driving as I want to just look in the rear view mirror without an image. Please advise.
thank you
Mt wolfbox rear camera display upside down images and cars in the rear in opposite lanes
Hi I was looking through the instruction manual. Is it possible you might’ve pressed mirror flip of rear image icon? You can change that through the dash cam 🙂
Rear camera works fine however display image is in the opoosite lane…
My dash cam is recording but keeps bleeding very annoying when travelling along way. Tried deleting everything but it still does it. Also with have changed time date etc but it still goes back to a different time. Very frustrating can you help please.
I had that problem, so turn on daylight saving time, problem solved.
I got a G840H model and it works pretty well except the speed indicator is not being recorded, but it is showing in live footage mode, I was digging in the configuration and had no luck. Any advice?
My new G840S screen gets very hot, is this normal? Also reversing lines do not show when in reverse, red wire is connected to live reverse light wire.
I have same problem, let me know if you have found any solution , thanks
