I still learned a few things about it because he is so thorough and explains everything so well and simplifies it all. Too many reviewers try to be funny, cute or entertaining and the actual information gets lost in the nonsense. This guy is fantastic!!
I just purchased this and was lost figuring it out. I agree with Corbin! You deserve a medal! You made this so easy for me! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
This has been the best review that I have Ever seen. So detailed. It's as if you are the owner's manual but in video. You should promote yourself out to companies to do their product manual demo's. You'll make a ton of money.
Excellent video, especially for me, a newbie and a senior citizen!!!! We do quite a bit of traveling every year, and have had a few close calls, so I have been researching dash cameras for a good 6 months! It was a total fluke that I found the Rove, but after reading the reviews, they were great, btw. I decided to check out TH-cam and I found your video! It is excellent and exactly what I was looking for! You and this video are going in my save! Thank you so much for an easy to understand video! I was checking dash cams with a much higher pricing, but because of your video I now know what I need to purchase! Thank you again!!!! 5-star video!
Great review, very detailed with the explanation of its features, especially with the parking mode. I love how you went through each of the menu item. I ordered one from amazon right after watching your review. Just received mine today and got it setup easily, I am impressed with its video quality. Definitely a great buy for me.
The world of dash cams are mind blowing. Your explanation and real-live demo is priceless. Thank you. I feel comfortable buying and using this dash cam.
Thank you for wonderful comment. Glad you found the video helpful. You might want to check out the latest Rove dashcam which I reviewed, and it's a great performer th-cam.com/video/7qHNYnnE-e0/w-d-xo.html
Can you explain the wifi setting a little more ? Do the wifi connection go through your phone and record videos to your phone ? I'm looking for a dashcam with a bit more security features. I had a cop go into my dashcam after he placed me in cuffs for "his safety" and then went and deleted the video that proved I was wearing my seat belt and did stop completely at the stop sign.
Hey Doc, You keep coming out with all these great dashcams, My wife is going to kill me if I buy one more dash cam! LOL🤣 Thanks for sharing and great review as always!😎👍
Great review! Thanks for the information. I am a truck driver about to go otr and I have been looking for a dash cam. I am sure I will be purchasing the ROVE R2-4K in the next day or two.
Very precise video with no fluff added. Perfect balance of what we all came for. The only thing that you missed that I wanted to know is how the 'lock video' works. I believe that pushing the triangle locks that clip from erasure. Does it also lock the preceding? The following? I've had this cam for a while but don't understand this feature.
If limited to 4gb total recording is there any purpose in getting a 500+ USB card? If you wanted to record all of a scenic route at highest resolution, how many minutes can you record before you hit the 4gb limit? Once you have hit the 4gb limit and it stops recording, can you save it and press start again to begin a new 4gb recording?
What I understand this to mean: you can record one continuous video up to 4 gigs OR you can set the loop recording to 1, 5 or 3 minutes and record continuously with a maximum of a 512 GB SD card (per website). After you have filled the 512 gigs if that's what you choose it will just record over the oldest file. This is why you would reformat the SD every so often. one continuous recording up to 4 gigs or 512 gigs of broken up one or five or three minute recordings
ABSOLUTELY A FANSTIC REVIEW OF A PRODUCT. I'VE SUBSRIBED AND WILL NOW VIEW THE ROVE POWER ATTACHMENT. GREAT REVIEW TECHNIQUES AND SUBMEST MATTER KNOWLEDGE EXPERT. KEEP IT UP AT THIS HIGH LEVEL OF DEMONSTATIONS,😁🥰🥰🥰🥰
You are an excellent teacher! So informative! I’m going to buy this dash cam, and I’m going to subscribe to your channel because I want to learn from you!
This is a good video. However, I'm not understanding the parking mode. I understand it records when there is an impact, but what does it record? The camera is facing the front but if the impact is at the back or the side, then what good is the recording?
Awesome video, thank you so much! 😊 I was about to send my camera back due to the app not working or camera then I seen you used another app (I didn’t use it due to low ratings). I added the app with “Rove Dash Cam” with white icon box and it sucked! It wouldn’t play back my videos at all just kept spinning. I seen you used the “Rove” app with blue icon box so went to that one instead. I’m so glad I found your video cause now I can view them and operate everything in the camera or on my phone following all you did. Again, thanks for the video it was a huge help! 😁🤗
When you were test driving the resolution display showed 1920x1080...didn't you leave the resolution setting to 2880x2160? Also isn't 2880x2160 resolution really 3kUHD? From what I've understood anything above 3840x1574 is true 4k. Without a doubt great review! Just questioning if this dash cam is a true 4k resolution. Thanks
The "Loop Recording" setting also has a "10 Minutes" option if you push the down button past the "5 Minutes" option. The "Delay Shutdown" setting has two more settings, "30 Seconds" and "1 Minute" when you push the down button past "20 Seconds." The "Format Reminder" setting has one more setting, "90-Days" when you push the down button past "60-Days."
I also have one of these dash cams. Been running it since October. My only complaint is I have to be really close to the camera for the wifi to connect if I'm in my car I have to be about foot away from it with my phone. Other than that it works very well and the picture is excellent in my humble opinion.
Scott, I noticed that he did NOT pull up behind anyone during the NIGHT recording sample...which doesn't show how it sees tags at night. Is yours clear when you record tags at night????
@@truckerrickakamanowar How does yours record tags at night? I noticed that he did NOT pull up behind anyone during the NIGHT recording sample...which doesn't show how it sees tags at night. Is yours clear when you record tags at night????
Great cam and great job on this video. I've had the R2-4K for a year or so and just bought the R2-4K Pro. Never bothered with the WiFi connection but wanted to with the new camera. What I don't understand (and I didn't allow) is why does it REQUIRE you to allow connection to ALL devices on your network. Makes me want to send this one back. Yes, I'm cautious about who accesses my network. What gives - am I missing something?
Excellent review! Thank you for making it so easy to understand in layman’s terms. I had watched the videos from the company, (which I’m sure helped), but your video was simple and easy to understand. I do have a couple of questions that I’m hoping you can help me with though: 1. I just bought an Audi Q5 and want to hide the cord along the top and then side of the windshield. Is this hard to do? Will it affect my car’s warranty if I put cords where there aren’t any?, and 2. I also have a radar detector that is plugged into the 12V cigarette lighter. How can I continue to use it as well as my dashcam if both are supposed to be plugged into the one outlet?
1. Tucking the wire behind the headliner and A-pillar can be tricky if you have not done it before and you should get a set of trim pry tool (link in description). European cars do have very tight fitting trims which make it a bit more difficult but it can be done. As to voiding warranty. That depends if you installed everything properly and also what related problems you are having later on. Dealers can always point finger back to you if they want, and it's up to you to present your case how the issue is not related. 2. To connect 2 devices to one cigarette lighter plug, pickup a 12v splitter box like this one. amzn.to/3nnAgP0
A discrete small camera has my preference. One with less shiny visible parts (that blends in with the cars cameras behind the rear view mirror). Invisible for people looking in their rear view camera.
Does the cam automatically reverse the camera for a rear or side collision if you're in a parking stall with a wall in front of you like in a parkade or do you have to do it manually?
Ware you able to read the license plate clearly of the car that pass you on the right lane when you ware stopping at the light also how does it capture plates at night time
I've been running one now since Oct of 22 in my then brand new 23 Subaru Outback. This model has been flawless, other than the somewhat weak wifi signal. Would buy again.
can the camera notify your phone if something happened if you inside of a store and can you then connect to it to see what's going on like a home camera?
This Rove dashcam is really nice and it's very discreet. You can't really see it from outside the car it's weird you really have to look for it but it blends in with your rearview mirror
I have DOD cameras myself, I like the feature that the screen goes into saver mode after 1 min. but still displays the speed and direction. dose the Rove do anything like that? I loved the DOD cameras and customer service when there was a DOD-US dealer, now that the only one I could find to purchase from was DOD-UK, I got a camera that won't focus and they want me to pay for return shipping for the POS they sold me. Theres more to but I digress. Another thing about the Rove is its half the price of a DOD :)

On the parking mode does it let you record more than 1 minute instead ? Because I feel like 1 minute isn’t enough
For real this is the best review i've ever seen
Congrats on 170k!!🔥
Thank you!!
One of the best reviews I seen. Very informative, no fluff.
Do I need to be connected to Wi-Fi in my car to see the videos on my phone? It won’t let me see what was just recorded
Awesome 😎 Video! Straight to the point, clear understanding, thorough and professional.
Thank you
you're awesome (for doing this) thank you so much -Stew
Does the rear camera take a video if the g sensor is activated during parking mode along with the front video?
good review...very indept in showing u all the functions and how to go about it... good job
Very good video sir. You went into quite a bit of detail and demonstrated it. Thanks so much. I just ordered my own. 👍

I believe that pushing the triangle locks that clip from erasure. Does it also lock the preceding? The following? I've had this cam for a while but don't understand this feature.
It saves the current video clip that's being recorded. Not the one before or after. It's saved and won't be overwritten.

Once you have hit the 4gb limit and it stops recording, can you save it and press start again to begin a new 4gb recording?
I think it goes off of the recording time if that’s what you mean you can how much more radio if you buy a bigger SD card

Question; can I connect the camera to a power pack and have the parking mode turn ON?
Any issues with files to large to send. Whats the biggest file i can send thru my phone without trimming it. Really like this one. Thanks

Can we watch the camera with live on our mobile using network?
Thanks for the video. 16:06 Night time recording is so bad, that I'd say $20 for that camera is a top price.
Difference between micro USB and USB c version as far as internal battery charge?
Your recorded videos looked really clean and sharp. My recorded videos are choppy and not as clear!

Great video and I like the PC app for play back but is it true 4k? The display in your video says 1920X1080p, that is not 4k.
Can I use camera and save videos on the app without an Sdcard? I have been waiting to use because I haven't got an Af card yet

Newbie question: What's the orange putty knife / pry tool for? It was not covered. (I probably just missed it.)
They include the pry tool so you can use it to tuck the wire behind the headliner and weatherstrip for the install.

Does it reformat itself every 60 days or is there a reminder and you have to do it yourself ?

I have this one and like it a lot.
I bought Kingslim D4 Dual dash cam and Im liking it!
This Rove dashcam is really nice and it's very discreet. You can't really see it from outside the car it's weird you really have to look for it but it blends in with your rearview mirror
how does it handle in extreme heat and extreme cold?
I have DOD cameras myself, I like the feature that the screen goes into saver mode after 1 min. but still displays the speed and direction. dose the Rove do anything like that? I loved the DOD cameras and customer service when there was a DOD-US dealer, now that the only one I could find to purchase from was DOD-UK, I got a camera that won't focus and they want me to pay for return shipping for the POS they sold me.

Does this work with vehicles with only usbc connection?
Definitely agree with others, great video of the camera’s features and operation. Thx.
Will this camera function if used on a motorcycle that does not have a 12V cigarette lighter connection but only a USB port?
Nice in-depth review .. Thanks
Which button do you press to save the last few minutes?
In the parking mode, someone hits the car from behind, will it capture who hit your vehicle or just the front?
