    hi all
    Im going to install 10" bed rack and later bed rack tent on top of it, I understand that in the configuration I will not be able to use rear view mirror, and thinkin on installation some camera on the rear bar of bed rack (as an image source). also i will need some replacement for my rear view mirror.
    Any suggestions or experience?

    Get a mirror that can support up to 2 or more cameras.

    One for the rear view, and one for the front bumper “trail camera”. Super handy.

    You can get a suction cup to ball mount to your mirror and place it anywhere, on the windshield.
    You could place it at the top of the dash for some “unique-ness” like a MGB
    Just don’t remove the OEM windshield mirror metal mount thingy.

    Front camera is already installed and connected with head unit (height10) and 2 cameras on side mirrors synchronized with turn signals.
    The problem that I also found some wireless rear cameras and I don't how reliable they are. (But I like idea not wire it)

    I've been running the Wolfbox G900 Pro for almost two months now. I should have done it sooner, ha. I love having some visibility back there again. 4k cam up front, 2.5k cam in the rear that I ended up just sticking it on my rtt.

    How's the rear camera night vision? Amazon reviews are mixed.

    edit: What accessories or extra's are needed for install? Longer cables for rear camera? SD card?

    edit again: Did you order the optional mounting bracket?

    I'll take some pics tonight when it gets dark. Its not the best at night but it is better than nothing.

    As for accessories, It comes with everything needed to install. I had to get the 33' long camera cable. It comes with a 20' one but it wasn't long enough for my install and I got a bigger SD card. It comes with a 128GB card but its expandable to 256GB.

    I did order a mounting bracket. I didn't like the Wolfbox branded one though since part of it is plastic though. I got the all metal one from here - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CZF6L3H?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

    Sorry, got distracted with family and the holiday. Heres some night shots. Front cam is obviously more clear. Rear cam does better at night when there is more light too.
