I've had the Rove R2-4K Dashcam for more than a month; This is what I think and what I changed

A little over a month ago my wife got me this ‪@ROVEDashCam‬ and here's the updates I've made since my first video. Some of the major changes were the micro SD card (32GB would record for about a day, and now a 512GB can record for more than 2 weeks); I also changed my "loop" settings to just 1 minute so I don't have to transfer such large files to get a short clip, and overall that will save me time, not only transferring the files, but scrolling through trying to find the clip I'm looking for.
What other changes or recommendations do you have if you have one of these.
What questions do you have too, I'll be happy to answer those in the comments.

[@dialdude]

Had this cam for over 1 year. Drive a lot, every day. Had no issues with camera. I have a 128GB Samsung EVO card and very good results. Small camera, but good results and options. I leave it on 24/7 with no issues and bought another for my co van. Thanks for a great video, lots of good info.

[@hell1120]

I like the Rove R2 4K. Drive 300 mi. min. per week. I raised the middle save vid button with a sliver of thick tape, so much easier to locate.

That's a good idea. I can see the buttons on mine, so it's easier to hit my save button.

[@anderslarocque1280]

Thanks for that quick run through. Very helpful as I understand by doing/watching, then doing. Reading the instructions takes me longer to get it. So thank you. Question I have is can you set the camera to Not record speed? I know how to turn off the speed from the view screen, but the embedded video has your exact GPS coordinates, date & time, and speed. I don’t want speed on the video play back. Here is why, it’s not accurate and almost got me into some trouble in a car accident. My passenger was actually iphone live video recording my speed. We were testing the new camera out What happened was a guy completely blew a stop sign, and T-bone us. He claimed I was going too fast to judge and lane as it is, police asked how fast I was going. I show him the video clip, shows the other car , then the camera shakes because I got hit. Camera video says I was going 20mph over posted speed. My passenger say no no, here, we just got this camera and look video of my Speedo gauge. I was in a 2014 Honda Civic and original owner, low mileage 15k miles, so my car Speedo was working normally. I had to get the dealer to essentially certify my car was accurately calibrated, etc. So I actually love the camera because the video clarity and recording are the best. I’m not a big fan of the embedded speed technology because in the end I was clear, but almost got cited fir speed because the camera was actually wrong. Like I should probably have better odds At winning the powr-ball lottery because we were just out testing our new Rov camera and this stop sign runner almost got me into trouble for something he did wrong. I was completely cleared, and the cop and judge were nice after I showed them my camera was not working properly with speed information. I would have been screwed if my passenger didn’t have the iphone video to back up my statement. So is there a way to not have the speed get recorded and embedded? If not, I will be purchasing another camera.

[@GrantButler]

Yes you can turn off the speed. Mine is turned off. Go watch my first video, and I show how to turn it off there. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZDRY2Z-jsx0o9E

[@michaelspurlock623]

Great videos…watched both…im planning to go jeeping in CO & Moab…was wondering if you think this camera would work to document the trip instead of using a more expensive Go-pro type of camera

[@GrantButler]

Definitely! Make sure you get the 512gb SD card and maybe not the same one I have because I've started to hear roumers that they're failing. But still get a bigger SSD and in your case I'd say set your loop to the max file size. So there's less splicing things together, and maybe turn the G-sensor off. Also keep in mind that this only works when plugged in. So it can't be used for shots outside of the vehicle

[@ScottGrammer]

I'm only surprised when I see a good driver.

[@GrantButler]

[@takazoozoo]

I purchased it from Amazon in Japan for $40 and was surprised by its high performance.

[@Bill92584]

I don't get a ROVE folder unless I hook the camera up to my computer using the flash drive mode. Also it doesn't pop up automatically like yours did in the first video. What am I missing to make this happen? Also ROVE recommends VLC software to view the videos but you recommended, I believe, Adobe premier. Is that only if your going to be editing the video's. Sorry for the long questions.

[@GrantButler]

The folder popping up is a preference you set up on your computer. Yes, to play the videos back VLC software is needed. I use Adobe Premier for editing it.

[@mekasamba5883]

After using the Rove dash cam for awhile now have you found settings that work best or better than when you first set up your Rove? Sorry kinda vague question. I mean things like resolution, exposures. How do you have your Rove set up now after using it for a good amount of time?

[@GrantButler]

I've made the g-sensor a little less sensitive. Other than that all the same.

[@3generation_racing658]

so does this camera continuously loop record? i just bought a different dash cam and wasnt impressed at all it would record for the first 2 mins of my drive and thats it... wifi was also shot on it. not reliable enough for my standards. ive been looking at this one to buy but i want to be able to watch my whole drive if i wanted to. and does the wifi on it work well? Thanks

[@GrantButler]

It does continuously loop record. With my 512 gb SD card, I can record a few months' worth of driving, I drive for work. however, the Wi-Fi is not what some people think. You can connect your phone to it when it's turned on but when your car is off unless you have it directly wired to your car battery using a fuse or something else you can't remotely view your camera you have to be in the vehicle with your camera to connect to the Wi-Fi on it. However, I have found that it is a little bit slow, and it's faster for me to just take the MicroSD card out and install that in my computer to remove any video files that I want

[@boostseason]

Good video! I'm trying to figure out if I want this camera or not. Looks like the features and functionality are really good, but I like products that are aesthetically pleasing. This camera *looks* cheap and just gives off like a drug store electronics vibe, even though it's very competitive in the market haha. Hard to explain. Plus I don’t really want a screen. Your video will definitely help my make my decision. Nice work!

[@GrantButler]

That's funny, I totally get what you mean. I've never thought of it like that. There ate plenty out there without screens if you want that.

[@theamerican7080]

Spend a little more for a better brand.

[@tricallyourmama]

Curious, I noticed that you’ve mentioned you want to save certain clips and want the entire day recorded before it loops. Unless there is an accident or using clips for KZbin or something, why would you need to continuously save recordings from the dash cam?

[@GrantButler]

Incase there was something you didn't see, or the system didn't catch.

[@yadira.m]

I just set my dash-cam today and I’m a bit confused on the g-sensor. Does it start recording only when there is impact detection or also when it detects motion? If I’m correct, it can only save 5 minutes of video when it’s parked. So it would use up the battery pretty fast if it records when there’s motion.

[@GrantButler]

Motion activation is only available if you have hardwired it to have continuous power. Otherwise the 5 min (max) is activated with impact detection

[@johnmayerislovee]

Thanks Mr Butler - Question - For the Rove R2-4k is the Rove Ultimate Micro SD card required or can any Micro SD card work? Thanks again...

[@GrantButler]

You can use any micro SD card with a V30 & U3 rating. I recommend the Samsung Evo Select. Links should be in the video description

[@hudsonmock564]

Can you leave a dashcam plugged into cigarette lighter when car is turned off? Cause i've been unplugging mine whenever i leave my car, I also have a usb option on my vehicle but I don't use it

[@GrantButler]

It depends on your vehicle. My car turns off power to the lighter outlet when I take out my keys. In that case, yes, you can leave it in. I leave mine plugged in.

Hi, I can’t figure out the wifi situation. I hot spot in my car a lot (sales need to enter orders in my car) and this turns off the cam wifi and stops recording (which I forget and then continue driving rendering the cam useless). Any advice?

[@GrantButler]

You don't need to turn on wifi to record to the Micro SD card. It automatically records on there.

[@sirazs923]

Hey Grant Saw ur 2 videos, they were very useful. Thank you and appreciate ur efforts! I have a question for you,last night some one hit my car on the driver side. I m wondering whether these cams r good enough to capture the license plates?

[@GrantButler]

Yes it is good enough to capture license plates as long as they're close enough. If they're close enough to hit your car the plate can be read

[@sirazs923]

Hey Grant, I got my new Rove R2-4K dashcam today. Can u pls suggest the memory card that i need to purchase? Is it samsung evo or samsung pro or rove memory card. Also can u pls tell me how many weeks can be recorded in 256gb memory card.

[@GrantButler]

@@sirazs923 so record times vary depending on the resolution settings, and how much you drive. Typically 4k video takes up 14GB/hr so 256gb card could hold 18hrs of driving. Also you should be good with any micro SD card from a reputable brand, just make sure that it is "v30" and U3 (the 3 will be inside of the letter U) This Samsung onr is a good deal right now. amzn.to/3Mr6h4I

[@sirazs923]

Hey Grant, My Rove R2-4K dashcam got stuck and not all responding even after removing the power cable. It simply shows as Power is connected and none of the buttons work including power button. This is the 3rd time I am facing this issue. I have reported to customer care lets see what they say. And also yesterday I recorded a video where a car just passed close to my car and when I see the recorded video I can see the car but license plate is blurry and not at all able to read the license plate even by zooming it.

[@garycook5125]

I first started using mine on September 15, 2022, and like the camera very much. While it claims to be 4K, it is absolutely not. Look at the pixel resolution in the fine print, and you'll learn the truth. A true 4K camera will cost you more money. Anyway, for the price, the video playback on my 4K monitors looks great. I set my loop for 10 minutes which allows me to view video in decent lengths. If you loop short time periods, you'll quickly become agitated by the constant need to start another video to continue down the road. After each trip to and from the city, I dump the recorded video on a computer, so the next time I venture out, the camera won't be forced to overwrite video of the previous outing. I recommend the camera.

[@GrantButler]

Your totally right, it's not a great "4k" but it's fantastic for what I get and what it cost. I prefer the 1 min clips because it makes for faster file transfer because most clips I get are usually less than 60 sec, and if I need more I can just jump to the end of the interaction, and only transfer what I want/need. Also with a 512gb micro SD card it will hold like 2 months of my driving anyway. I'm glad you like it too

[@KingJuanGaming]

My App doesn’t playback my videos do you know how to fix that?

[@GrantButler]

Make sure the camera firmware is up to date. Make sure the dashcam's wifi is on, and you're connected to that wifi.

[@eyedee203]

I have 4 of these for every car in my household. The issue I'm having is that sometimes, it doesn't store or save an event. My dad got into a fender bender, I went to retrieve the event and it just showed a black box. This has happened several times. The best I can figure, is that something is going on with the sd card. It might be getting too hot? I also had an issue with by bling indoor camera, where there is no heating issues, so I'm perplexed there. All the sd cards I buy were top of the line, so that's not the issue. I don't want to get different cameras, because I've invested a lot of money into 4 of them. Has anyone else had this issue and if so, what was the cause?

[@GrantButler]

What brand cards are you using? I use all Samsung card. Rove now has their own brand too. I have not run into Black screen issues, but sometimes footage gets lost if I pull a couple clips off on my computer, and don't format it before using it again

Does the camera record overnight even when the car is off ?

No, it uses a 5MP sensor and the output resolution is actually 2880x2160. While it is technically the right height, the width is more narrow, and the image quality is more like 2k-2.5k upscaled to 4K. To get "true 4k" it would need a 8MP sensor, but a sensor like that that could handle continues recording like a dashcam would be prohibitively expensive. Hope this helps

@@GrantButler Sure! Thanks for the info. And the video.

[@ouramazon1294]

Stop calling it a 4K dash cam!!! Those require 8 MPixel sensors. This uses a 5 MPixel sensor same sensor used by the 2 and 2.5K cams. In fact, this could be a 2.5K cam at 30 fps IF they had offered it in firmware and on the menu. But they didn't so it IS a 2K cam at 30 fps. Or a 2.5K cam at lower fps because it struggling to interpolate the sensor's native 1944p to 2160p just to FOOL PEOPLE into believing it is 4K. Ironic their box says "TRUTH BE TOLD". And no other reason to spend so much processing and quality degradation with no extra information to go from 1944 to 2160. Users will think they are getting better quality with highest setting because they don't get to see the superior 1944p that is stretched to a whopping 2160. They only get to see the 1440. I got mine over holidays for around $80. I have better ones for my cars. I plan to use this to replace the 1080p unit I use in rental cars.

You are absolutely correct. True 4K has a horizontal resolution of 4096 pixels (4096 x 2160 is 4K). UHD is 3840 x 2160. But, in the industry, 3840 is considered to be the minimum horizontal resolution for 4K. The Rove Model R2-4K is not a 4K camera, despite the misleading model name.

I didn't find Rove products to be reliable enough for anything beyond entertainment. Don't count on it to have your footage recorded when you try to retrieve it as it randomly skips entire recording clips on all cameras- even with their SD cards. It's good for fun, but I never comes through when you need it. I tried Rove products for 2 years- and am not satisfied, and I would NOT recommend them to anyone I liked.

[@GrantButler]

Sorry you didn't have a positive experience with it. I do make sure to reformat my SD card every few months because it will be weird like that if you don't.

[@theamerican7080]

@@GrantButler How would one even know that works or makes a difference? It's not the card's fault, it's the camera poorly managing it's most CRITICAL AND ESSENTIAL FEATURE; Record the fucking video. It failed me more times than I can remember. It's really just a cheap, Chinese quality toy camera anyway.

[@GrantButler]

@theamerican7080 you should go watch my first video on this camera. In the unboxing and setup process there's literally a section that sets up a reminder to format the SD card

[@theamerican7080]

@@GrantButler I gave up on that brand and haven't been happier. I've been back and forth with them for a year. I've had enough. Actually, I want to ram the broken camera down their throat while it's still attached to my car. That's how incredibly upset I am with all the garbage being called products released to the general public. No more Rove anything.

SO YOUR SAYING YOU CAN’T CONNECT TO THE CAMERA’S Wi-Fi TO YOUR PHONE TO DOWNLOAD VIDEOS TO YOUR PHONE??? THAT’S VERY DISAPPOINTING!!! 👎

[@GrantButler]

That's the only way you connect. The camera can't connect to wifi, it only broadcasts its own wifi signal

[@numbereightyseven]

It isn't 4K. Neither the IMX335 nor the Nt96660 are capable of 4K. You've been conned by Chinese lies.

[@GrantButler]

The output file size is still 4k

[@user-rj7ze8dd9c]

Don’t buy it. Junk only one year gone bad.

[@GrantButler]

Thats odd. I've had mine for almost a year now, and I drive 4-8hrs a day. No problems. What happened to yours?

[@user-rj7ze8dd9c]

@@GrantButler If you lucky.When you have a problem you can’t call only text to them when I text to asked they said We offer a replacement for the 1-year warranty period. However, since the warranty period has expired, the camera is not eligible for any repairs or replacement free of charge. We have a replacement program if you would like to get a brand new complete package of new R2-4K for only USD 69.99. We just completely re-designed this camera and made many updates. It has a Sony sensor with 5MP SONY IMX335 Sensor, and the video quality . They said I understand that you prefer a phone call than communicating through text messages. Being a start-up company, our phone support is not yet readily available and we have to schedule a call.If you were me would you like to buy junk camera again.

[@user-rj7ze8dd9c]

Don’t believe in good reviews if you read 1stat they tell you the true. All the same problems. They didn’t improved . They just want people money. They didn’t care .They offer people to buy they product again with poor quality.Waiting people money and time.

[@GrantButler]

@@user-rj7ze8dd9c but what happened to your camera?

[@vamodizer]

OH MY GOD!! I thought I had a dead pixel on my phone because of the dot that appears on your little finger at 6:13 🫠🤪🫣

[@GrantButler]

No, unfortunately, my camera has a few dead pixels. One day I'll save up for a new one.
