Hi Everybody! Here is my Dash Cam installation video th-cam.com/video/44WXN8MI66o/w-d-xo.html My hardwire installation video th-cam.com/video/uZp95NbNlmM/w-d-xo.html And how to connect the optional red wire to enable parking assist th-cam.com/video/LHGxwulIPes/w-d-xo.html Cheers!
Hey Alex great review. In the title it says Kimgslim which is correct but in your notes it says Rove D4 Dual Dash Cam, looks like a typo. Anyway I had looked this cam over and there were two small negatives, one and this really small as it does not use the usb-type c and the other is that it has an internal battery. Living in TX I am concerned about it overheating and expanding the case. I would not mind having a wiring harness if it had a capacitor but I do like that it has the parking mode without being wired up but I also know it usually will not last more than 24 hours with out hard wiring.
Thanks for the heads up Ken! Typo fixed 😁 Ah yes the great debate of lithium battery on dash cams, I definitely gives you the advantage of not having to hardwire the dash cam and capture a few incidents when parked (hopefully you car is not getting several times while parked! LOL) but yeah capacitors are a better choice if you live on an area that sees high temperatures and the installer will be hardwiring the dash cam. Hopefully you guys are doing ok over there with the rain? we are getting hit again this weekend (ugh, it has delayed several of my videos but at least it has not affect us badly like some areas of California) Cheers friend!
Thanks DanDoesDetailing! Yeah, if you take a look at the manual (page 22 if I remember correctly) you can see the different colors and meaning of each for the LED) I actually kind of like it, in case I want to quickly confirm everything is working at quick glance. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Do you support continuous recording around the clock? And all day long? continuous recording? Or record for a maximum of 5 minutes only and stop recording? Please clarify this information?
Hi SUPERSTAR! Correct, it will record continually while driving. The maximum amount of time you can record will be determined by the size of the memory card that is loaded, the resolution setting, if you are running both cameras or only front and if you have any "flagged videos" of car crashes (those by default will not be deleted by Dash Cams, they require manual deletion). Dash Cams use something called Loop Recording, once the memory card is full, the oldest videos are overwritten by new video (loop recording). Hope this helps. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun The problem is that it does not support large memory, such as 1TB or 512 GB, only support for the highest 256, and this fills up quickly together, recording in 1080 resolution from the front and from the back
@@SUPERSTAR-bz4gx Hi SUPERSTAR! Correct, most Dash Cams are limited in memory capacity. However if you want to record Terabytes of video here is one that will do it th-cam.com/video/vUEsIYEBVck/w-d-xo.html And I have more dash cam reviews on my channel in the playlist "Dash Cams Reviews" if you like to compare them. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Shot in dark you see this and respond. I'm having issues connecting and see my reviews on amazon saying the same. Any advice of connection issues to the Kingslim app? I currently have to view videos from camera. You seem to have had no issue!
Hi Chris! I would try the App on another phone to see if it's related to your phone or the App. I haven't had issues (but will update this comment if something changes), I'm on Android if it helps. I would also recommend contacting Kingslim for tech support, they may be able to walk you thru some troubleshooting steps. And please keep us posted on your findings. Cheers!
hello, so I have a question that is driving me quite crazy by the way I love your videos. My question is I have one of those fancy dash cam reverse mirrors. The cable that came with it is 5V 3A, but I want to use the Rove Ultimate Hardwiring Kit which as you know Is Rated at 5V, 2A my mirror is USB C same as Kit will it be fine use ?
Hi Arcade Obsessed and thank you! Ah yes regarding the Rove Ultimate hardwire kit, correct, it does not have enough power capacity to power a mirror dash cam. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Hi Ankit! Ah good question, the F7N runs at 27fps (for both front and rear) and the D4 runs at 30fps front and 25pfs for the rear. And here is the full review for the F7N so you can compare the video quality against the D4 and see it's rest of it's features th-cam.com/video/tWanKbCxS1M/w-d-xo.html Cheers!
Hi Evelin! Ah that is a good question I get often. I think the best dash cam depends on what you are looking for in a dash cam. I run different ones on my cars so what I usually tell people looking for the right dash cam for them is to start by picking the style of dash cam (Mirror or classic stick). Then how many cameras does it need to have (1, 2 or 3). Now that you have narrowed your selections, consider how much you want to spend on one, that will narrow your choices even further. Then consider any special features you are looking for such as 360° video, Backup to SSD, BSD Support, Side Camera, Wi-Fi, Parking monitor without hardwire, cloud support, High Frame Rate. Finally you would want to compare video quality (I have several dashcam reviews on my channel under the playlist "dashcams" if you like to compare). I just began working on a video to compare my top picks for different categories, stay tuned, Cheers!
Hi @Hassbulla! Correct, it needs to be connected to the cigarette lighter plug of your car to turn on, here is my installation video if you want to see what that looks like th-cam.com/video/44WXN8MI66o/w-d-xo.html (same as a mirror dash cam, but instead of placing the dash cam on top of the mirror, the D4 is mounted directly to the windshield of your car) Hope this helps, Cheers!
I have the D4 dash camera. The problem with me is the viewing angle it is not adjustable. I look at more of the sky than anything in my car. For that amount of money, you should be able to adjust the angle of view up and down.
Hello Alex... Thank you so much for your content!!! I would like to ask you a question? Maybe something you already covered in a previous video... I'm looking for a dashcam or side mirror cam to be able to record any incident that could happen when the car/SUV is parked in the parking lot of a huge apartment building... Thank you
You're welcome Daniel! Ah yes there are couple choices, here is one th-cam.com/video/vUEsIYEBVck/w-d-xo.html in mirror style, and here is on side camera style th-cam.com/video/8i_CVpPj3Dg/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
Hi Krasi! The mount is not normally sold separately. However I would recommend you contact Kingslim, they may be able to get you get that part by itself. Cheers!
Can the GPS be turned off on this Dash camera? I do not need a device that surveills, monitors and tracks me, I just want it to record video with enough detail to identify vehicle licence/registration plate number day or night from either front or rear camera, to use as evidence for insurance purposes and/or reporting a crime.
Hi Dannia! RedTiger has a couple different 4K dash cams, not sure which one you are referring to but here is my review for the F7N th-cam.com/video/tWanKbCxS1M/w-d-xo.html and the T27 th-cam.com/video/823doPGMu80/w-d-xo.html if you like to compare them to against the D4. Cheers!
How the heck did the dash cam know you were in reverse or drive in order to change views and give park assist without being hardwired? Or did I miss something?
Hi painedinks! Great question! Parking assist is activated by connecting by connecting one additional wire (part of the rear camera extension) to the reversing tail light of the car. Here is my video showing that process th-cam.com/video/LHGxwulIPes/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
@AutoFun ok, yeah I figured that, I'm no genius by far but I've done my fair share of wiring, and with all the new tech and gadgets it's hard to keep up on the new tech advancements and I thought I'd ask jusg in case there was something new out there I had never heard about. After all, my mind was blown away the first time I ever saw wireless phone chargers...so you never know! 😅
@@painedinks Yeah I'm with you, tech is moving so fast it's almost hard to keep up! LOL Just right now I'm testing a new Mirror dash cam with Android Auto and CarPlay so literally I can see a map and get directions from my mirror, play Pandora, receive texts crazy stuff man. Cheers!
Hi Harley! I don't believe the App supports connecting to the Internet, for that you want a Cloud enabled dash cam like this one ttps://th-cam.com/video/BAEH4f2ulEs/w-d-xo.html (live view, geofencing, notifications to your phone etc.) And I have more dash cam reviews on my channel in the playlist "Dash Cams Reviews" if you like to compare them.

Right now we all thirsty for the best mirror dashcam with wifi wireless rearview cam & the fxt version is ok but it's external wifi transmitter is wack and should have built-in wifi & different direct power feed for dashcam power source
Hi Ras! Unfortunately I have not seem much demand for a mirror dash cam with a wireless rear camera. I believe this may be due to the need to run a cable all the way to the back of the car on a normal dash cam, or having find a power source in the rear of car, then tap into that power source and then run only a small length of cable to the rear camera (both methods the wireless and wired requiring some level of installation) But I have seen the FXT one, seems interesting but I have not tested it but sounds like the same premise of requiring wiring to power the rear camera. I will keep my eyes open if anything else comes out, I can certainly review it. Cheers!

Can you make a tier list of best dash cams every 6 months, would be greatly appreciated 👍
Hi LazyQ8i! You read my mind, I just began working on a video to compare my top picks for different categories, Stay tuned, Cheers!
Great video. I've hardwired mine in and when I turn the ignition off and lock the car, the side led is flashing blue. Is this normal?
