Rove Review:1. Sorry for the long review, but this is what a review should be. Giving information about a product, so a customer can make an informed decision.2. Came packaged very professionally, and with care in a sturdy box. All components were present. Arrived earlier than expected.3. The camera unit has a little weight to it, indicating it is well made (in the USA), much better than another maker that’s in my SUV. This doesn’t have a battery, but is powered by the vehicle (while in use), and a Supercapacitator, when parked, availing it the ability to keep all saved data. My camera’s battery died 2 yrs ago requiring me to input my date/time every time I start the vehicle.4. The various functions are easy to read and follow, with plenty of photos. They are all contained in a sturdily bound booklet that’s small enough to keep in the glove box for future reference. This shouldn’t be necessary since all the functions are accessible, via the IPhone, with quick descriptions of each function available right from the phone display. No more fiddling with tiny buttons on the camera, and contorting yourself to change settings.5. Powered up right away. I decided on the 3 min segments of videos since they downloaded quicker, and I was able to send the video directly from my phone to another, via Text Messenger, which is important if the video needs to be sent to law enforcement, attorneys, insurance company’s, etc. Increased time segments results in larger bit space.6. I didn’t experience the problems with video connecting and viewing from my phone others have reported in negative reviews in Amazon and especially the Apple Store App. I nearly didn’t purchase this, or any other WIFI connected camera because of these negative reviews. The whole point is to be able to access your videos when they’re needed without popping out the memory card or disconnecting the camera. JUST REMEMBER: you have to be in “Close Proximity” (within several feet) of the camera and the phone. It’s a transfer device, not a WIFI connection. When the Rove app shows up in the connectivity section of your phone, it reads in RED writing “Not Connected to the Internet”. This is normal and the camera will connect to your phone. You may also have to temporarily turn off your car’s Auto Connect function on Apple Play, as it will override the connection from the Rove App.7. I had a lot of difficulty downloading the video app, Videolan, suggested by the manufacturer. I was never able to get it on my PC, hence the 3 min videos for ease of sharing. I was able to bring the video up on my 65” TV, via Airplay, and what a view!!!8. DAYTIME: The video is discernible on the camera’s display, enough to see what has occurred, but when you connect it to a TV or PC with a larger screen, the display is incredibly sharp with very clear videos. The Rove icon (optional), Lat/Long, date/time, Vehicle tag number (optional), and Speed (optional) are clearly seen on the bottom of the video. Reminds me of reviewing my police car dash cam before I retired.9. NIGHTTIME: ….the video is clear and displays basically everything you’re seeing with the front headlight beam projection. The rear video, for having no benefit of headlamps, is impeccable and displays a clear picture, gathering light sources that are available from vehicles, the roadside, etc. When the brake lights are applied, you can see the red reflection on the roadway markings.10. Only qualm I have so far concerns the function of having the icons that display on the screen. When they are set to disappear after a selected amount of time, the display Speed also disappears. I like being able to view the speed on the camera and compare it to my speedometer speed. This is not a deal breaker, but I would hope they will consider changing that option. The icons are white and are not distracting.11. Great function is the Voice Reminder that chimes in every minute telling you the camera is NOT Recording, just in case you inadvertently may have turned it off. It is just annoying enough to not be able to disregard it or not hear it.12. There is an Emergency button on the camera with a Triangle symbol, similar to your car’s Emergency Flasher button, you can push to lock a video immediately, thereby preventing it from being deleted until you go into the file and manually deactivate the Hold/Lock.13. Reviewing recorded data is easy on the phone. They are set in Front and Rear folders, the newest videos first, and, when uploaded to your phone, they are stored in your photos/videos folder just that way in Front and Rear separate folders, identified by the date/time. You have the ability to Delete selected videos, or delete All, or you can LOCK a video(s) so they don’t get accidentally deleted.14. Comes with an included 128gb memory card which can hold a lot of videos, and this can be upgraded to as much as a TB card. I regularly delete the captured videos to keep the memory card clear, even though the videos self delete the oldest videos in a Loop feature, if you reach the card’s max data.15. I turned off the Audio function as many may not appreciate my singing voice on every recording.;)16. Set this up in my wife’s SUV (2023 Chevy Equinox). Suggest the front camera, either suction or permanent, be installed in the center of the windshield, just below the day/night sensor housing unit. The bracket hangs just low enough to allow a view of the display screen, just below the rear view mirror. The mirror blocks a view of the bracket itself, with NO view obstructions to the driver. If you put it on either side of that sensor housing, up near the windshield header, you’ll lose significant view to the upper left or right quarter of the front windshield which could be detrimental and block important information in a collision event.17. The suction cup seems sturdy with a locking mechanism. So stable, when I needed to reposition it, I had to use the included trim tool to break the suction seal.18. Plenty of wire to reach from the display, at the center of the windshield, to the cigarette lighter, with the front wire, and to the rear of the vehicle, via the rear wire. Remember to connect all wires to the camera before inserting the cigarette adaptor to Power Up. A trim tool is included in the box. Very handy.19. This has been installed for about 2 weeks now, and I’ve ordered a second one for my vehicle to replace an older cheaper made camera that’s not IPhone connectable.20. I didn’t use the Park Mode option, so I can’t speak to that.21. I took my time for several months reviewing several cameras, and decided on Rove. They are Made In the USA, and HQ’d out of Mundelein, Ill (near Chicago), not CHINA (Great Big PLUS). Of all the ones I considered, all and all, Rove has the best reviews. It comes with an included MicroCard, another plus. Reasonably priced (added plus). Check out Rove’s site, you’ll probably find a Rebate!!! (Plus Plus). I had a small issue when I first installed with the download to my phone from the camera. I sent an email, and within an hour I had my answer. Did not initially activate Full Access to my photo library. Once I realized, with They are on the ball for customer satisfaction.(big plus)

I dont usually write reviews but because my steller experience with the Rove team felt it fitting to di so. I had done a lot of research and their R2-4K was always one of the top dashcams. So I decided to go with them.Needless to say I have not been disappointed. I first purchased one and two wiring kits. Was going to wire two cars with 2 rear cameras and switch the dash cam back and forth. So I bought an extra rear view camera from their website. Upon receiving the first kit ( which was from Rove but recertified and like brand new) Installed it. Somewhat easy due to exceptional documentation and instructions. Since this went so well I decided to order a second kit and forego the one cam idea. I also realized then i did not need a second rear camera. Also the second kits suction mount was not great. So I decided to call Rove.Well I must say what a great experience, almost no wait time on the phone and the gentleman on the call was the greatest. They had no problem with returning the extra review camera. Matter of fact while on the phone we texted back and forth and I had a return label before we got off. Replacing the suction mount went just as easy and when I ask about a different way to mount he told me about a third party mounting kit and sent me their link. In this day and age it was unbelieveable customer service. Truly a pleasure speaking and dealing with them it also did not end there at every point along the way they have kept in touch via text.Now in terms of the cameras. Excellent quality and videos. Both front and rear are excellent. Also installed so the parking mode works and it to does not disappoint. The features as advertised are top notch and the book that comes along with them explains everything very well.I could not be any happier with these cameras and the true outstanding cuatomer service. I would recomend the cameras and company to everyone.
