ROVE R2-4K PRO Dash Cam, Built-in GPS, 5G WiFi Dash Camera for Cars, 2160P UHD 30fps Dashcam with APP, 2.4" IPS Screen, Night Vision, WDR, 150° Wide Angle, 24-Hr Parking Mode, Supports 512GB Max

Great camera. Went from a $500 blackvue to this. Does the same job, for a fraction of the price. No app required to view videos. Just take out the memory card and plug into your computer. One of the few cameras that records at 60fps. Great for catching license plates. I used the hard wire kit also from rove. Installation was easy and setup was also very easy. I have this model in all my cars. Cameras work great and assures me some peace of mind. Works seamlessly in ny weather, from 0 to 100 degrees, no issues. I have also recommended this to all my friends and family. Had a tiny issue and reached out to the manufacturer. The responded within minutes and fixed my issue, no questions asked. Great, affordable camera, backed by a great customer service.

I am very pleased with the camera. The clarity of the videos is great. The wiring kit was straight forward to install and works fine. I purchased the ROVE R2-4K PRO and Dash Cam hard-wire kit. Initially I purchased another SD card but after reading the ROVE documentation, I returned the card and purchased the ROVE SD card. I don’t need problems. There are many things I like about the camera and wiring kit. The first thing I noticed when I opened the camera box is there is a ribbon that holds the lid, nice touch. I installed the camera myself and there was a learning curve. Mounting the camera was easy. Initially I used the suction mount to try different locations. Then I used the sticky mount for the final install because the mount went on the area of the windshield that has the black dots, frits, and the suction mount does not stick to that area. One thing I learned was when I switched from the suction mount to the sticky mount I was not sure how to get the mount off of the camera. It clicks on when you install the mount, and I did not want to break anything. But what I found is the bases for the mounts are the same so you just need to unscrew the top part of the mount, easy. Another thing to be aware of is if you use the sticky mount the part of the mount that goes on the windshield has a slot for the camera to slide into. Be careful to install it with the slot up, or the camera will fall out of the mount. Although the manuals that were included with the camera and wiring kit were excellent, as good as I have seen on products lately, there was still a learning curve for me. I chose the wiring kit because I did not want the wires hanging down and I really liked the fact the wiring kit has a feature that protects the battery from being run down if the car is not driven for a while. There are settings on the wiring kit that will shut the camera off if the voltage drops below a voltage that you select. I chose 12.2V and did test it and it worked properly. I watched Youtube videos of what fuse locations to use. When I did the initial install the camera turned on but did not go into park mode when I shut the car off. I ended up calling ROVE for help. I was very impressed with their help. I called and their message recommended I text so I did and they responded right away. We handled all my questions via texts, which worked well as I was able to organize my thoughts and include pictures. With their help, I ended up choosing a different fuse slot and now the camera works fine. On the install, I used the trim tool that was included with the kit, nice touch. I also used the little wire clips with sticky backs that were included with the wiring kit, another nice touch.

Edited again on 8/1/2024 After my July 24, 2024 editing when I changed from 5 star to 2 star because of my not-so-pleasant experience with the customer service, ROVE once again reached out to me on July 25 apologizing for the mix up and my disappointment with the whole memory card experience. They wanted to make things right and offered me to send a new memory card after all. This was very nice of them. They were trying to make good for my stupidity of returning the memory card with the camera and despite some misunderstanding between me and them, they came through and send me a new memory card which I received yesterday. I am more than satisfied with the outcome and once again, laud the company for going out of their way to keep me happy despite some bumps in the way. Thank you ROVE team, you have my sincerest admiration for setting things right - despite my initial fault. Finally, as for the camera itself, I've said it before and I'll say it again - it's a wonderful product in its category and the low price makes the deal even more sweeter. Buy it, you won't regret it. It's loaded with features and the picture quality is absolutely awesome. Once you add the $20 filter on it, pictures become even more crisp and vibrant. It's a no brainer! ----------------------------- Edited to add - (July 24, 2024) Just as soon as I posted this 'wonderful' experience from the support team at ROVE Dash Cam, I was informed the whole thing was a huge mistake and they will NOT be sending me the memory card as promised. This was AFTER they sent me a tracking email telling me when to expect it. According to Jeniffer, the person who was trying to help me, her manager said ROVE was not responsible for my mistake and I should take up my case with Amazon. Just to be clear, I NEVER asked them to send me a new memory card; I simply asked them that if they find my memory card in the returned item, I'd appreciate if they would mail it back to me and I'll gladly pay the postage. It was ROVE that got my hopes high and promised to send me a new memory card that I NEVER asked for it. So after my review below, the whole thing soured within a matter of minutes and left a very bitter taste in my mouth. I've decided it's not worth my time to pursue the case with Amazon so I'll just cut my loss and move on but please be aware that the company failed to keep up its words after taking me to a emotional roller coaster ride - not to mention the waste of time in communicating with them and writing the below review on Amazon. As for the product, I stand by my comments. 5 stars. But the way they handled my case - 2 stars. Someone at ROVE will receive the return product and he/she will find my 512gb ROVE memory card in it with my dash cam videos on it. To that person, maybe you'll have more integrity than the company and will mail back my memory card. However, I am not holding my breath. ---------------------------------- My original review below: Folks, before I begin, let me put it in the most simplest way - this is a great product at a wonderful price. If you are in the market of buying a dash cam for your vehicle, buy this ROVE R2-4K PRO Dash Cam with built-in GPS, 5G WiFi and many more amazing features. You can't go wrong. Period!! From unboxing to set-up to the picture quality - everything is simply top-notch. Now with my story - I bought this dash cam a couple of weeks before the Amazon Prime Day for a price of roughly $140. I also bought a ROVE memory card with 512gb capacity and a anti-glare filter to go with the camera. All was going well until Amazon Prime Day when the price of this camera dropped to $85. Naturally, I was not too thrilled about it for paying $55 more just a few days ago. Luckily for me, the product was still within the refundable period. So I initiated a refund and reordered the same product - this time for only $85. So I removed the lens filter from the lens, packed up the product in its original box and dropped it at our local Kohl's drop center for a full refund. Imagine my horror when one day later, I realized that I had left the 512gb memory card ($65) in the camera!! After cursing myself for a couple of hours for my stupidity, I sent an email to the support department of the ROVE Dash Cam explaining what I had done. At that point I figured I had nothing to lose but there was no harm in taking a chance. Not expecting any response, I resigned to my loss and my mistake preparing myself to forget the whole thing and just buy another memory card. My frustration, anger, and disappointment turned into excitement when within an hour, I received a reply from Jennifer, a support person at ROVE Dash Cam company, who said she'd do her best to resolve this issue if I could send her the original order # from Amazon. Seeing a glimmer of hope ahead of me, I immediately send her the required information and this morning, when I checked the email, I saw Jennifer's response saying she had shipped a new memory card to me without any cost to me. Now folks, I don't know about you but a company that not only makes a wonderful product but also backs it up with an equally wonderful support is a rare thing these days. They have earned my loyalty for life and I will not only not hesitate in buying their other products but will also encourage people (who are looking for dash cam for their vehicles) to do business with them. With them, not only you get a great product but also a peace of mind. I may sound like a paid customer but trust me, I am not. I am just another regular customer like you who is pleasantly surprised (and satisfied) by this level of customer service. My heartfelt thank to Jennifer and the entire ROVE team for such a wonderful experience. If I could give them 10 stars, I would in a heartbeat.

The dashcam works great. Just purchased this dashcam about a week ago and I'm still in a learning curve but the manual and quick start guide have enough easy to read and understand detail to where I can learn fast. The display, even on the lowest brightness level, is clear and easy to see. The controls are also easy to access and the voice is pretty clear as well. As for the suction cup, it's held so far so good, once I learned that the "wheel" that tightens the suction cup has to be locked, otherwise the dashcam will disconnect and fall from the windshield. Also, you need to tighten the knob that allows the dashcam to adjust up or downward, so that it won't vibrate, otherwise the video will show vibration when a dip or pothole is run over. Getting set up was a breeze and the 256 GB SD card, which is not a Rove card, has been working just fine. And the fact that it takes a universal USB-C cable, means it is easy to get another cable if the current one goes bad. While it does recommend using a Rove cable and SD card, I find that you don't need to, so long as you use a reputable brand, such as SanDisk or Western Digital for the card and a name brand cable. When it powers up, it will ask how you want to use the camera so you have to choose "Use the camera as normal", so to speak, in order for it to start recording. You can also choose, "Use as flash drive", or "Use as webcam", which adds to it's versatility. Some may find this annoying. I had to get used to it as my previous dashcam started recording immediately upon startup. But I think I'm starting to like this better. As for the app, it is vastly superior to the app for my previous dashcam, which was not a Rove. The Rove app does connect and you can have some functionality, however, you do need to connect the dashcam to the internet via a computer/USB in order to connect with your phone the first time, but the instructions in the manual are clear and it's easy to do. After that, the dashcam will connect with your phone when it powers on. I still have to learn more about how the app works, but it does. One thing I noticed is that it appears that you cannot access videos from your phone to download them with the app unless the dashcam is powered on and connected to your phone via WiFi. I could turn out to be wrong on this as I still am in the earning stages. But overall, it's a great dashcam and the app does work.

Got his a while ago for a trip I was going to take to Arizona after a previous trip to there I almost got to 3 accidents because people got impatient and wanted to pass a giant lane of cars. Anyway after that scare I decided to get a dashcam for trips. I found this camera and bought some of the accessories with it (memory card and anti-glare lens). Unfortunately my next trip to Arizona fell through and never used the camera until about 2 month ago. After witnessing an incident in the freeway. I remembered abut the camera and I could have used it to help out the person who got hit. So I took it out of the box and used it the next day. After using it for 2 months I can say that this was a great purchase. It is worth the price, The camera is light which is great because it wont pull from the suction in the window. Speaking of the suction, this one has a locking mechanism for it, you just put the suction pad on the window and turn the lock and sticks it in place, if you need to remove the camera, just turn the lock to unlock and pull the little tab on the suction to unstick it and bam easy removal. There is a second mount that come with the camera and that's for a more permanent placement. ( I haven't used it, probably never will, but it nice to have the option.) You can set the quality of videos. The video look alright from the camera itself but if you look at them through your phone they are waaay better quality. Speaking of looking video through your phone. To connect your phone to the camera is a bit confusing, took me a few tries to get it to work. You have to connect to the cameras WIFI in order to view the videos, unless of course you take the memory card out of the camera and use it on a computer but that takes a long time. A warning about the WIFI is that once you connect to it, your phone will think that you're trying to use its WIFI for signal. So the best thing to do is to set up the WIFI once and then set it up to manually connect to the camera or just turn off the WIFI from the camera settings. One concern for me is the camera getting hot. I live in the southwest so summers are super hot, I'm afraid to leave it on the window when I'm not using it during the day because I'm scared that it'll blow up from the heat haha so I remove the camera every time. I know it says that it can resist up to 140 degrees F. that still is scary for me to leave it.I have a few trips this month to Arizona and Texas which I will definitely take this camera with me, That will be my test on how hot it gets and if it still work fine. I will update later on this. TL:DR Camera is worth the price, video quality is great when viewing on phone, two mount options are great. Heat resistant but don't trust it yet until my summer trips to test it out. WIFI connection is confusing at first but once set up, its easy to use.

Rove has just released its new firmware. 😃 I currently have 4 of these dash cams In multiple vehicles. The quality convenience and ease of use is ideal for me along with the affordable price !! With today’s insurance scams, hit-and-run drivers and the people who run away on foot after wrecking their cars into you. You’re not only need a dash cam for your insurance company but to also help with criminal charges for some of these people that truly do belong in jail. Because you never know how bad your next accident can end up. In the best part about the dash cam is it never lies and it remembers things as it happens you don’t have to remember the colors you don’t have to remember what the person looked like or what the license plate was if you have a dash cam all that stress is taken away and saved properly.

Great dash cam from an amazing company. Video quality is amazing and audio the unit picks up is excellent. This dash cam seems way more user friendly than some of the dash cams that my co-workers have. This company stands behind their product and will help you if you have an issue. I now have 3 Rove dash cam's (one in my car, one in my truck and one in the work truck) and recommend them to everyone. Beyond the excellent camera, the tech support is very quick to respond with help and will even follow up to make sure everything is working as it should. I bought my first Rove dash cam after an accident in 2024 and recommend all my family and friends put one in their vehicles before it's too late.

Pros: I like almost everything about this little cam. It has tons of features you can tinker with, but it also works right out of the box, just by plugging it in. Very little work to get it up and running. I also bought ROVE's memory card, which worked without any issue. The software and instructions/documentation are fantastic - very clear and well thought-out, which is rare for electronics these days, with most stuff being made overseas by folks who don't know English well. This camera is designed in the USA, manufactured in China - like Apple products. The unboxing experience was surprisingly fun, and obviously Apple-inspired. Build quality looks really solid - I see no flaws. Camera is very easy to mount. ROVE even included cleaning wipes for my windshield in the product packaging! It's little touches like this that show they put a lot of thought and care into this product. It's also really easy to get the videos onto my computer; I appreciate the no-hassle experience. ?: I haven't tested the night vision yet. One other feature I'm excited to try is time lapse mode. Cons: The camera stops recording as soon as the engine is turned off. I understand why it is designed this way. But I want to be able to record while I'm pulled over with the engine off. For example, if a police officer pulls me over. Cops usually tell you to turn off your car engine. If you do that your camera shuts off and you'll have no footage! ROVE sells a kit that allows you to hook the camera up directly to your car battery, but I worry that will drain my battery; might be better for owners of electric vehicles. The other major flaw with this camera is that it only records the forward-facing direction; if someone rear-ends you, you won't have any footage of it (you'll need to buy a whole second camera for that). Finally, the built-in speedometer seems to be biased 1 or 2 mph too fast, imho. That's going to make you look bad if you try to use the videos in court - it makes you look like you were driving faster than you were! There ought to be a setting to tune this up or down 1-3 mph. Fortunately there is a setting to just turn it off.

This dashcam is one of the simplest I've ever dealt with (I've had some 4 or 5 over the years). The instructions are excellent and in English (such a nice change!), there are lots of videos online, and as the box says, it just works. Sure you can make adjustments but most of them are very minor and easy to do. I'd like an option to turn on and off Daylight Saving time, but that's not a big issue. The quality of image is excellent, the unit is very nice and small, and syncing to my phone was a breeze. Tech support is quick and responsive, too. Highly recommend!!

Very good quality, east to setup

The picture quality on the Rove dash camera is amazing. So simple to install and I love the suction up, easy to remove if required, very strong hold onto the glass. Simple to set up the camera and has so many options for the camera. It’s the best dash camera that I have used and I love the quality and ease of use.

La ROVE R2-4K PRO es excelente, la calidad de las imágenes que recopila es sin igual, su ángulo de visión 150°, Sensor-G, GPS, Conexión WIFI, Parking Mode y su Ultra-HD 4K, son sólo algunas de sus cualidades que la hacen superior a muchas otras Dashcams del mercado a un muy buen precio.

Beautiful and an asset for the cst
