Box is nice. about where it ends.
The picture quality is okay but nothing to write home about.
Nowhere on the specifications does it mention the battery size. They do this so you don’t know how long it can record without power. let me save you the hassle. 5 minutes.
No eject button or a way to get out the micro SD card.
The screen goes blank if you look at it other than dead center.
Unit gets hot after only a short time.
You thought you could use your own USB car charger. Think again! because they couldn’t incorporate IQ charging which has been around for years, your cell phone charger will most likely destroy the battery. anything over 3 amps will.
The Wi-Fi feature is absolute garbage.
Maybe my expectations were high. But given the not so low price I expected more.

I like the camera… as a 2K dash camera goes. This is NOT a real 4K, it is using a 4MP CMOS that is artificially adding pixels to give you a 2K picture blown up to the size of a 4K. It is no better picture quality than a 2K dash camera (which I already owned). You should NOT run the camera at 4K@24FPS because you are just fooling yourself. Run it at 2K@60FPS or pay the money to get a real 4K. You can compare the video and you will see as I do that there is no quality difference (ability to read license plates at night) between 2880×2160 24FPS, 2560×1440 30FPS, and 1920×1080 60FPS (the pictures look exactly the same because they are really all the same lens resolution, but the 1920×1080 60FPS is a better video and you can read license plates *better* but no easily at night). If this company was just honest I would have no problem with the camera… but false advertising and robbing ignorant customers is WRONG WRONG WRONG. No stars for YOU!

This is my 3rd camera from Amazon. And the ONLY one that is great! In my opinion and basing it on the ones I have. My first one was good, but low quality video, 2nd was 1020P video but crud night vision. While the night vision on this one is good, it is grainy but you can still see details, could tell if someone hit you, or you witness an accident.
I put up a few photos showing the clarity of the pictures. This are grabbed from moving pictures (screen shots) but still very clear.
The things I love about it;
1. GPS tells how fast you’re going, what direction and your coordinates at all times. If a cop pulls you over and says you’re doing 65 in a 55 zone, if you were, oops, if not, you have video proof of exactly how fast you were going.
2. You not only have video but you can take snapshots at any time, even use it as a camera to take pictures of places and things. Might have to carry a battery pack for power but it’s a great cam too.
3. I can connect to it with my Android phone (works with smart phones too) and see what it sees. Of course the range isn’t going to be super long but say it’s on outside a restaurant and you’re close enough, you can connect and watch what’s going on.
4. The suction cup to mount to the windshield is the best I’ve seen. It also has other mounting options but I chose this and it’s great.
5. I can do 1, 3, 5 and 10 minute size video. You can also do 4gb per video but at the highest setting, you’re not going to get much, and that setting is the only setting that once the micro sd card is full, it will not overwrite old files. The other settings will.
6. You can watch the video on the cam, your phone, your TV and the computer.
7. With the Rove APP you not only see your videos, but it will show you on the map where you are during the video.
So… if you do have an accident, or witness one like I did a couple of months back with my old camera, quality is why I ordered this one. But anyhow, you are covered. Has 150 degree view angle (could be a bit more for my liking) but you can see for yourself in the pictures I posted.
The ONLY thing I don’t like is the size of the screen but I knew the size before I ordered it as it’s posted in the description so I can’t ding it for that. A larger screen would be nice but the camera is still great.

After thoroughly testing this Dash Cam I’m very disappointed. License plates are difficult to read day or night.
The GPS speed sometimes shows and other times shows “0” Km/hr even while driving on a highway.
I Also purchased two recommended SAMSUNG Class 10, U3 Speed Micro-SD Card. Max Support: 128GB and formatted it correctly. Not sure why I am having this issue.

I was contemplating a different dash cam with WiFi (well known make 512gw) but saw this cam on the U.S site. It is hugely popular with the U.S truckers, and having read the reviews there and seen the silly negative ones here (about the plasticises used in production which a particular U.S state demands is on all plastic items) I decided to give it a try.
Firstly I hooked it up to my computer and checked the firmware, it is bang up to date. Software for the camera was easily installed onto PC.
Upon installation in my truck, I’ve had a lot of window suction pads over the years (sat navs, phones and previous cams) and this is by far and back, the best screen adhesion of them all. You can also use sticky pads (provided) and as it came with both a suction pad and a clip for using the sticky pads, I put them in my car windscreen. (I have since tested sliding it out of one T bar mount (suction pad) and transferring it into the one in the car and it was very simple to do. So effectively, whenever I drive, I have this cam in the vehicle. It is also supplied with short and long usb cables, which helped a lot as my truck has a usb connection within reach of the screen, my car doesn’t, so long one went in the car.
This week I had a possible insurance scam incident on the M6 roadworks in Cheshire. Bloke pulled in front, brake hard, then pulled away onto the coned area of the hard shoulder. As I didn’t hit him, I carried on. Upon arrival at the customer, I fired up the app on my iPad (also have it on phone). WiFi connection to phone was simple. Press to stop filming first, then into menu, go right, first item in WiFi, turn it on. Next on tablet, with app running, goto WiFi settings and the rove is displayed, connect and then once connected, return to app. Files were very easy to find, and simple to download. Be prepared, a 5 minute clip in 4K is over 600mb ! Cam takes upto a 128gb micro sd card and I recommend buying a decent one (class 10 and make sure it is 4K compatible or card will soon be useless) of those so you can record near enough a whole day. The video quality was fantastic, and I could easily read his number plate on the iPad screen. Saved clip to phone. You can also use the iPad as a remote screen for the camera once connected, interesting as you can leave connected to WiFi, and use as security device. You can also change most settings probably more easily using the iPad than the small buttons these cams all have
Overall, I am delighted with this cam. I can see why the truckers over the pond love it and it gets a massive big thumbs up from me
Once again, regarding the SD card. Upto 128gb. You just get both class 10 and 4K compatible. Due to the complexities I don’t understand of recording and re-recording 4K on sd cards, they will fail if they don’t meet that standard

This camera is clear and it is easy to use once you get to know what each button does. I sat down and read the book that came with it way before using it so that I could get a good understanding of everything. The video provided is at default settings, so I haven’t even set it to 4K yet and it is this clear. I do recommend the 128 Samsung 10 class u3 SD card for it as it records without freezing. I haven’t had any problems, but if I do, I will post an update. So far so good though.
I can’t comment on the app yet because I haven’t used it, but when I do I will update. Also, I haven’t used the player yet either, but I did download it for Mac, so it is Mac and PC compatible. Once I use these features, I will update again.
Update (2/15/2019): I finally used the app and it seemed to work well for me. It was very easy to connect to and I was able to see my videos. I can’t figure out how to use the player though. I thought if I insert the sd card to my computer, it would read from the video player and show me the data, but that wasn’t the case. If anyone figures out how to do this, please let me know. Also, I have integrated the camera into my video, meaning that I bought a kit so that I could plug it into the fuse box for a direct power source. I like the fact that it was easy to do and it now turns off the minute that the vehicle is turned off. The only time it will turn back on is if you have parking mode on, but it shuts off about 3 minutes after it has recorded an impact while parked ( i tested it by shaking my vehicle, I did not get hit). When I turned my vehicle back on, it spoke to me and said, “parking mode was activated,” so I knew right away that I needed to check what happened (of course, this was only a test though). Anyway, so far so good and the video is fantastic. When I learn to work with the player, I will update again. 🙂
Update (12-18-2019) So I figured out everything and so far so good. I ended up buying another one because my son wanted one just like it. He loved how easy it was and the updates that Rove puts out for the cam. They also contacted us when we ordered it. They just said that if we needed anything they would be more than happy to speak to us over the phone with a live agent. What a live agent! They were very nice. I have not had a problem with this cam at all and I do recommend it to others. I just saw that they are having a sale on their website for it, so I might buy another one for my husband. Can you say Christmas gift 🙂 They have a 25% off code on the website. I believe it is ROVEVIP25 to get 25% off. Anyway, this is a great dashcam and I couldn’t have asked for more. I am a loyal customer!

The dashcam is ok at best. It worked ok while the product was under warranty. 4 months after warranty expired, so did the dashcam. It won’t power up.
while it was working, it did not have any motion detection, it just recorded everything. It also powers off immediately when the car is turned off, there is no parking monitoring to speak of.
The suction cup is also fairly weak. I have a cellphone holder that only fell off once when the temperature was -20C. This suction cup fell off at least every few weeks.
UPDATE:
the store responded to my messages comparing their product to Apple’s iPhone (which also provides 1 year warranty). I’m not sure if they think their products are of comparable quality or design to Apple’s, but this camera is quality is simply unacceptable. I’ve had a $50 dashcam that lasted 3 years. They clearly use inferior parts and labour but charge 3 times as much as other manufacturers.
The representatives of this company have no respect for the customers judging from their self-righteous justification of their deplorable products and abhorrent customer service.
I’ll be leaving a negative review for the company itself as well. absolutely disgraceful

So…. I bought two of these dash cams, one for myself and one for a buddy. We both drive transport trucks and in today’s climate it is imperative you have video footage to support any claims or actions for or against you in traffic court. The one I gave my buddy worked well and he’s had no problem. I on the other had had freezing issues constantly. It was suggested that it was due to the SD Card I was using and Andy from customer service sent me a link to a preferred SD Card to purchase. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XWZWYVP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_cpjABbH8CS1V6
After installing it I was still having problem with the freezing issue. A few emails later Andy suggested it may be better if he just called me. I said sure and gave him my number. Ringing me up he asked what version of software my Rove came with. I told him and he said that I had the old software installed and that there was an updated version I should installed. He shot me off an other email with the new files to download along with installation instructions. The install is strait forward with no surprises. After powering on the unit the entire display had been changed upgraded and WOW he wasn’t kidding when he said the worked along time on this update. Since the update I’ve had NO issues with freezing or anything. I can say I am impressed with the product. Although, what I’m more impressed with is the level of customer support I received from this company. Their customer service should be used as a template for other companies to follow. Andy told me that if this update did not work that he would replace or refund my purchase and that it would be MY CHOICE. I have a few more cars of family members that will be receiving this product in the near future without hesitation. PS. In no way have I been paid for my comments. This is truly how I feel and I don’t say this lightly. It’s hard to impress me. THEY DID JUST THAT – Terry

I have just viewed the first video files from my new Rove R2-4K and I am quite satisfied with the video quality. Here’s my experience so far. Unpacking the dashcam, I was impressed with the detailed user manual, information regarding what micro-SD card to purchase, and Rove’s emphasis on customer satisfaction. The provided Amazon link for the recommended micro-SD card was for the US only and including a Canadian link would have been helpful. After some research and reading numerous reviews, I followed Rove’s recommendation of ordering a micro-SD card directly from Amazon. Since Rove provides excellent and detailed how to videos for setting up the dashcam, I barely had to look at the printed manual. These videos are a real bonus, are extremely helpful, and once again reinforce the company’s focus on customer care. Bravo! One thing that did not work was the Car DV Player for PC which I downloaded from the Rove site. Once installed, it showed my progress on a map, but the window where the video should have played remained empty. I was able to play the dashcam video on several media players including VLC. The video was of good quality and very sharp with the sun behind my vehicle. Driving into the sun, the quality deteriorated a bit so that license plates were no longer easily readable (see attached screenshot). I am running the dashcam on the highest available video quality setting. The wifi connection works well and is an easy way to change settings on the dashcam, but downloading video is slow and I opted to transfer video to my computer using the micro-SD card instead. The camera itself seems solid and well-built and the built-in view screen is more than adequate. Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase.

I already had one mounted on the front windshield of my wife;s car, but they are so affordable that I installed one on the back window also. A few days after installation, we received a bump from the rear by a young man texting on his phone. It turned out that there was no damage or injuries, but had there been, the camera would have told the story.I tried to upload a clip but I’m not sure it took. I know I could not upload the highest resolution, it was too large. This is truly a great camera and one of the features I like best is that I can rotate the camera to catch action out side windows or inside the car. I also gave each of my sons one for their trucks.
