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.

The parts I talked about:

Get the Honey Browser extension:

The rest of my setup:

My new Rove arrives today! I too drive a lot of miles! As a retired law enforcement officer, I know the importance of documentation! Can't wait to install and use! I will likely be buying on of these for my wife and daughters cars as well! Great review man! Thanks!!!!

[knuckleblood]

I've owned this dashcam for over a year, and really didn't use it much. I dug it out my center console and reattached it. Glad I did, thanks for the vid.

Also, I was looking at $400.00 dash cams and this is the best one I believe because of features, video quality, customer service, and warranty.

[classysteez]

love the way you explained everything and the last little adapter you showed at the end saved me! thanks man!

[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.

I just got the Pro version. Couldn’t be happier. So easy to use and has all the options I’d normally be looking for such as multiple date and time formats. I put mine to the left of the rear view mirror and at about the same height.

My wife just bought this camera for me for Christmas. Thanks for the positive video; I look forward to trying it out.

[alijaved]

This video was so good. I love your personality

[angelsoto]

Thank you for your review. It help me out a lot 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[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...

[anderslarocque]

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.

[takazoozoo]

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

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.

[crazyxz]

3:47 how does this work when using the app? If you just want to manage it all on your phone… loving the videos so far! Mine gets in tomorrow

[jefechingon]

Nice detailed video. I ordered one and thank you.

[michaelspurlock]

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

[ScottGrammer]

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

[generation_racing]

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

[mekasamba]

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?

Trying this because my viofo only lasted for like 3 years until it pooped out yesterday. It struggled in the heat so much im thinking it couldnt take it anymore. Hopefully this fares better since the device itself isnt literally on the glass surface of windshield like the viofo was.
