I like and use the ROVE R2-4K....not fancy, but gets the job done for one front facing camera.

I use the ROVE R2-4K. It's a basic one camera dashcam, but has pretty good resolution. I like that it's easy to stick on the window and take off.

Just swapped my Rove R2-4K for the Viofo A229 Pro and did the install properly. I’ve spent a lot of time researching dashcams before making the switch, and I’ve learned a ton about the market. Dashcams in UAE are getting more popular, and I see many posts recently, so if you have any questions or need advice, I’d be happy to help!

Check Rove r2 4k it is very good, but make sure it’s with Starvis 2 sensor. On amazon there is both versions.

R2 4K have first Starvis IMX 335 sensor, Viofo 229 pro have Starvis 2 IMX 678 front and IMX 675 sensor at the back camera. Video quality on another lever compared to r2 4k. But yeah, I like the app and UI of the Rove much more

I bought my r2 4k literally 6 month ago and they had a first starvis… Rove is good, if the Starvis 2 there with IMX 678 then it’s a no brainer. I could install myself which I did with Rove, but now there is no unwanted wire anywhere around and can do parking mode as well since dashcam is hardwired and not from usb

The r2 4k, r2 4k pro and the r2 4k dual are three different specs. The dual is the newest specs. Works great love it but the pro isnt as good as the dual.

Literally (Monday) I just installed a Rover R2-4k. It was a walk in the park to set up and the footage it's capturing even at night is crispy. Amazon has a coupon on it currently that drops it to around $100. I like that it has a screen and physical buttons and the app didn't feel quite as "info skimming" as most of the other $100 4k options.

Yeah for sure, the beefier version kept coming up in my hunt for one but I don't do Uber or whatever so I don't need an inside the car cam. Most people get tripped up with the SD cards cause they never need to write to one as quickly as uncompressed 4k video does. While U3 (and higher) rated cards are cheaper than they used to be, they're still more expensive than most average people spend on the ones laying around in some tech drawer we all have. I think this [website](https://www.kingston.com/en/blog/personal-storage/memory-card-speed-classes) is handy for understanding the classification but basically you need a card that is at minimum capable of writing at 30mb/s. 60mb/s would probably be better but Roves own cards are a U3. I'm several drives in and so far I'm very impressed for the price point. I've used to app to both live watch video and download a trip just to see what it looked like. I'm going to make my brother mess with it tomorrow when we're stuck in the car for 2 hours. Otherwise unless it just craps itself in a couple months, I don't think I'll have any complaints.

I love it, I did go in about a week later and changed the time loop setting to record in 5 minute incriments. I think it was originally 30 seconds. I also have it set to just start recording over the previous files as well. I figure if I'm in an accident or something I'll pull the files off well before it would risk writing over. It still looks amazing live and takes super clear video. I'm extremely pleased.

Rove R3 or R2-4K. They use an sd card, but they have Wi-Fi and an app so you can control the camera and download the videos to your phone without removing the card.

I have a Rove R2 – 4K. But forget the dash cams; run whatever you want. But check out Dongar you don’t have to run a bunch of cables. It plugs in the back of your mirror and into the dash cam. Super clean install.

Rove R2-4K. Not super expensive like the fancier ones but also not cheap like the $30-$40 ones I had previously that would maybe last one summer. Has rear cam also. Easy install. Pleased with it for the price.

I’ve been really happy with my Rove R2-4K. You can snag a sale on Amazon for less than $100. Card is extra, and while they “recommend” their brand of card, others work in it. I have one in my truck and car.

I use a Rove R2-4K. I love it after 6 months of owning it. it’s great quality for only $99. One thing I really like about it is you can easily pull footage off of it from your phone and save it to your camera roll. If you want something cheap this is the way to go.

I bought a ROVE R2 4K on Amazon in December of 2021 and it still works perfectly. I never leave it in my car if it's parked though. I always bring it inside. I tried several other cameras and they all died insanely fast, days, weeks or months, after leaving them in the car.

I have a Rove R2-4K i bought on amazon that has been solid. You dont need anyone to “install” a dashcam. They just suction cup onto your windshield and get power from a 12v jack (cigarette lighter port), if you want it to look nice use a plastic spudger to route the cable around the head liner and dash paneling

I bought 2 Rove R2-4K dashcams. It really does shoot in 4K, so the license plates look very sharp and legible. Very impressive for $99/each. Using a 512GB micro sd card gives you about 145 hours of 4K footage. I have used its several times (Capturing a car accident in front of me and catching 2 cars making illegal turns. https://www.amazon.com/R2-4K-Dashboard-Camera-Recorder-Vision/dp/B074JT3698/

I have the Rove 2, front channel only, and I like it. It will record 10-minute loops, it can be hard-wired or run off USB, and it works well. Rove also has really good tech support. I had an issue with one of my 2 cameras and they replaced it, no questions asked. Just sent me a new one and had me send the faulty one back.

10 minutes is the longest loop. Otherwise, it is record until the end of storage and then it stops.

First and only cams so far - Rove R2-4K. Have one in both my own vehicle and my wife’s vehicle. Coming up on 2 years of having them. Last summer, about a year into owning them, they did both run into some memory card issues. The recommended sd cards were registering as not fast enough. I ended up buying some of their official cards and they’ve worked fine since. It was a little annoying that the cards in question were recommended by Rove themself.

I'll piggy back off what someone else said. Rove R2. Me and the wife both have them in our cars. We like them ALOT! It's like $120 bucks on Amazon, they basically do everything else the competition does. We also bought a generic mirror stem adapter for them. We have it clamped around the rear view mirror. It's flawless. Basically a set it up and leave it situation. Since our 12v plug ins are keyed to power we never have to touch it

I have the Rove 2k - 4k and I bought a Redtiger dash cam front with rear on my moms Accord and both dash cams are great! I bought an upgraded SD card (both are using 256 gb) both dashcams can record up to 4k. I had a NEXAR dashcam before going to Rove and had that NEXAR for a year and a half and it randomly just stopped working on me.

If you want the front with rear cameras I would go with the Redtiger. if you just want the front then go with Rove 2k -4k. Rove is also cheaper (80 bucks) and I think it’s a great investment. Redtiger is currently 130 on Amazon (originally 200). I can’t speak yet on the Redtiger since I just recently got it but since I had the ROVE for almost a year now, I love the camera.

Rove 4k but you need a hardwire kit. I'd assume most dashcams that record 24/7 require a hardwire kit.

I have a Rove 4k in my truck. I was able to get an accessory plug so it is powered off the rear view mirror; no running of wires. I got the Ford Thinkware dashcam for my wife's Ranger. It wires directly into OBD for continuous power which my Rove doesn't have. However Ford sells an older Thinkware that doesn't have wireless access..... Huge disappointment. There's nothing fancy about the Rove but it wasn't super expensive either

Yeah, half of these don't connect to WiFi (customer reporting), won't stay on, can't download unless near cam, won't power on, etc. When the reviews of negatives outweighs the positives, I'd be leery of just throwing brands out there... (Walmart? really?) Always do your own home work. I did a google search and looked at all these 'brands' (Especially the Rove R2 and RedTiger)... Just do the research, there is a lot of 'crap' out there. One way to tell; Do the housing on various models all look alike (same batch manufacturer)?
