How To Install Dashcam Hardwire Kit For ROVE R2-4K

[@danielludman5945]

Great video, just wish you hadn't skipped over the part where you run your cable after connecting into the fuse box, would be helpful to know how to run the cable from fuse box to headliner to camera.

[@JollyGreen79]

I was pretty confident in doing this without a video but since it popped up after your review I watched it. It's very helpful and thorough. Thank you! You made a simple project even more simple.

[@gregmoyer8959]

Excellent on the wiring disappointed you didn’t show how to use tool to run wire behind the trim

[@itzchakparizat7531]

Wiring is really easy. You don't NEED the trim tool but it helps and makes it faster. Just push the wire into the rubbery part that runs along the edge of the doors (the top). I was able to use my fingers to push it in and then used the trim tool to run along the edge and speed up the proccess.

[@Psychonautic_Shadow]

Great video really helped out alot! the only thing I just wanted to note is at 12.0 volts the cars battery is not at 50% it's at 25% and 12.2 volts is 50% and 12.4 volts is 75%.

[@brandon3321]

So what setting would you recommend for the battery ?

[@walterbarrera7394]

Thank you, very clear instructions, easy to follow up the steps. 👍🏼👍🏼

Great video on how to setup Rove hard wire kit

[@Jazu58]

Esse kit funciona na Azdome GS63H ? Parece ser a mesma câmera, porem fornecedor diferente, é isso mesmo?

[@justtruth8310]

It was helpful thanks! But when I turn off the ignition the parking mode does not work. I wonder if the fuse is backwards?

[@vincentcasolaro]

Received mine last week and the USB connector did not have a 90° angle like yours. I wish it did.

[@thepamulaklakinadventures572]

Nice video. Would the camera drain the car battery if time lapse is always on and if motion detector is in the most sensitive mode? Ty

[@Nagtuanii]

if that ever happens that's the function of the kill switch for the hardwire kit (the setting on the module that you can change from 11.8 V, 12.0 V. 12.2V ETC) to stop the camera from getting to that point.

[@stevengates8695]

What do you suggest to set the G Sensor to? Thanks!

[@kippywylie]

I performed this install yesterday and now I'm worried since I did not use a multitester but simply followed the included Rove manual. Everything works fine.... But what is the concern with using a circuit in the ABS fuse if the included fuse link is proper? The manual simply said test with the included tester for any functioning circuit

[@dial2fast]

Most of the time, the car will fine, but in the rare chance the dashcam (or the add on accessory) draws more current than what the circuit is rated for, that might cause a problem with the original circuit (ex ABS). Keep in mind there is a reason the fuse box has different fuse amp rating for each circuit. The engineers that designed it will use the proper gauge wire (the wire behind the fuse box), and fuse rating according to what the circuit requires. By adding an additional device on that circuit, you are increasing the load on that circuit.

[@bena2541]

i’ve got the fuses connected and everything but my camera isn’t getting any power while the car is started or when it’s off, im not sure what it could be do i have a bad grounding point or?

[@gamervet7793]

can u d rive while park mode is in effect with hardwire kit??i accidently bought one that doesnt going to return it

will the original fuse that you pull out still get power?

[@aaronkristofer18]

Yes I would also like to see cable management.

[@jerwind7393]

Great video! Thanks for sharing! So for the RED and YELLOW wires, we have to use 2 fuse tab locations? 10 amp fuse - constant 12-volt 20 amp fuse - ignition 12-volt

[@dial2fast]

The fuse rating you tap into might not necessarily be 10A, 15A, 20A. That all depends on your specific vehicle. Find the fuse that will give you ignition, and constant 12v, and you can tap into it.

[@jerwind7393]

@@dial2fast Thanks so much. I took picture of fuse diagram. Will these work? 10A - Accessory for Constant 12-volt - Red 20A - Front Socket for Ignition 12-volt - Yellow 2016 Honda Civic Thanks

[@dial2fast]

@@jerwind7393 The accessory fuse might be an ignition fuse. You really need to test it with a multimeter to find out which fuse will give you the voltage you need. If you want to learn how to use a multimeter, I made a video on this kzbin.info/www/bejne/nma1nWiFjJ2qhcU

[@christiandaniel1452]

Can I add 2 o 3 cameras? I need them fro the front, back and inside the cabin

[@dial2fast]

You can just calculate how much current (mA) each dashcam draws and the total should not exceed the fuse rating.

Find a grounding bolt under the dash.

[@hashtagjustadad5110]

Great explanation on how to attach the hardwire and how to use the multimeter.

[@jasondelprete2492]

Quick question. I installed a 2 channel rear view mirror cam in my 2018 pathfinder s. I did not use a multimeter and just followed what you did in your 2016. I connected the accessory lead to the 20 Amp and the constant to the 10 Amp as you did...I think? 😆 both using the double fuse taps. Now, intermittently my oem reverse camera, while in reverse of course, will go blank and all I will see is the check your surroundings message displayed on the bottom. Did I do it wrong? Also, I'll add that I installed led h11 low beam bulbs the same day by sealight led. Could they be the culprit?

[@jasondelprete2492]

Also, the dash cam is the azdome pg02s. The hard wire kit is the 3 wire from viofo.

[@dial2fast]

@@jasondelprete2492 I really doubt the fuse tap is causing the issue. All you are doing is tapping power, and not interrupting the video feed from the backup camera. For troubleshooting, you can disconnect the 2 fuse taps, put the original fuse back in and test it for couple weeks and see if you still have the issue.

[@tonycorolla4911]

Hello, I connected with hardware kit ,but it says that is not connected to a HWK.may b cause is different from this brand and its say low battery also.any recommendations.

[@istayspamming4752]

That happened to mine when the ground was in a bad location. I accidentally had it touching some plastic. Changing the ground fixed that issue.

[@adrinem4513]

Please excuse me if these questions seem dumb. If I install the hardwire kit but take my camera with me when I park my car is there anything else I need to do meaning that could affect the output from the fuse box?

[@dial2fast]

If you are taking the dashcam out when you park, then you are not using parking mode function, so you don't need to install the hardwire kit. Just use the cirgarette lighter power plug for power. But if you really want to go that route, which you can and it won't effect anything on the fuse box.

[@SpeeedyZach]

Great video, thank you!

[@nmarkose]

Thank you for the detailed excellent video.

[@godfather5275]

Is it possible when the car battery gets low, you can no longer get power to the cam? The hard wire kit goes to 11.9 but no lower? Help

[@dial2fast]

Anything lower and you can't start your car.

[@alhdogarcia6347]

Has anyone else had this problem? My SD card is the Rove brand 256gb

[@ferrykrommert8148]

Hi, currently doing this on my car. The kit I bought came with only 5 amp fuses and my car only has 7.5 amp and higher amp fuses. Can i use a 7.5 amp fuse instead of the 5 amp fuse the kit came with? Or should I just use the 5 amp fuse in one slot and a 7.5 amp fuse im the other?

[@dial2fast]

You can use the 7.5A fuse for the dashcam.

[@KemDIY]

Do you really need to know which direction the current goes? That was confusing. Don’t you just take the fuse out and replace it with these fused connectors or does it really need to be a certain way?

[@dial2fast]

Inserting the fuse tap either way will work BUT if you insert it the incorrect way, the add on accessory will NOT be fuse protected.

[@KemDIY]

@@dial2fast ah got it! Thanks for the info!

[@22dontee]

Do you need a multimeter? That was confusing with the current direction part and I don’t have a multimeter to test that part

[@bena2541]

did he not crimp the wires? or did i just miss that?

[@hiskyguy]

Hey I just installed the hardwire kit.. after it’s all said and done mine continuously runs even when the car is off. Would you have any solution for this?

[@dial2fast]

If it continuously runs, then your fuse tap is not connected to ignition 12V. Use a multimeter to test the correct fuse to tap.

[@hiskyguy]

@@dial2fast I did test it with a multi. Put the red to a continuous and the yellow to an ACC just like you did. Non essential ones with lower amperage as well. Still stays running. Idk what else to do

[@jtm71]

Does the piggyback fuse need to be same amp as the car fuse?

[@dial2fast]

No it doesn't, but ideally you should not exceed the original fuse rating as the fuse tap will now power 2 circuits.

[@fireaa1060]

Does it affect the car battery? Plz answer

[@dial2fast]

As mentioned in the video, using car battery to power parking mode will drain your car battery. That's why you need to have a cutoff circuit to prevent it from draining all the way down. When you drive your car, the alternator will charge the battery.

[@shipshapetn]

Purchased the ROVE R2-4K camera and the hardwire kit at the same time. Ran the wires from the mirror through the A pillar down to the fuse box. Checked to make sure that the red is constant hot with the enclosed tester, good battery voltage with the key in the off position. Turned the key on and connected the yellow wire to the now hot circuit. With the car running, got 13.8 volts on both red and yellow wires. Black it a very clean ground. Plugged the camera in and started car. Hit the power button and it came on for a few seconds and went right back off. It keeps on showing a low battery voltage warning and cuts right back off. I can not find any setting to make it stay on. Now here is the kicker - if I connect the same camera to a power cord that is run from a USB port to the back of the camera with the supplied cable with the camera, everything works great. I checked battery voltage on the hardwire kit by touching the actual female side of the bullet connector which is on the outbound side of the wiring from the fuse box heading to the actual input wire to the camera just before the small box that is inline on the hardwire kit. Already called Rove customer support and got an answering machine and left a message with my phone number with no response yet. Sent them an email - they did respond with a link to this video. Nothing in this video addresses the issue I am having. I know you just make KZbin video clips and do not work for Rove. Maybe they will get wind that they have a unhappy customer and try to help solve my issue.

[@theowinosowino5814]

How about hooking it up to a power bank ?

[@Bigstevesmb]

Question: This hardwire kit can be used with any dashcam???

[@dial2fast]

Rove advertise this as compatible with other dashcams, but keep in mind it only has a Mini-USB connector so your dashcam will also need to have the same power plug. The other thing is you have to make sure your other brand of dashcams do support parking mode recording function. There are many ways parking mode feature are designed to work depending on the manufacturer. So you may need to do some research and troubleshooting if your setup doesn't work properly.
