"It's like $120 bucks on Amazon, they basically do everything else the competition does."
"It was $120"
"Check Rove r2 4k it is very good ... Rove r2 4k with Starvis 2 sensor is the way. Good price and good sensor in the dash cam ... Rove is good, if the Starvis 2 there with IMX 678 then it’s a no brainer. ... Rove is no brainer for that much money, I liked the dashcam (still have it in my glovebox)"

"Love their app too, very simple and intuitive ... great app on the phone ... Rove app much more seamless and intuitive."
"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 was able to get an accessory plug so it is powered off the rear view mirror; no running of wires."

"Video quality on another lever compared to r2 4k. ... Rove still offered first Sony Starvis sensors. ... Was looking for better video quality ... because I want not just dash cam for the sake of having dash cam, but also best image quality therefore I spend more."

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.
r/GR86 • Dash cams ->I just returned the ROVE R2-4K. I even cant see the plate in front of 10 fts during daytime. I plan to try A229 plus dual.
r/mazda • What budget+reliable Dashcams do you guys use? ->I've got a Rove R2-4K in my Rav4. Is this one better?
r/rav4club • Is this a dash cam ? ->I have the Rove R2-4K and am very happy with it. https://www.rovedashcam.com/products/rove-r2-4k-car-dashcam
r/BroncoSport • Dashcam recommendations? ->I like and use the ROVE R2-4K....not fancy, but gets the job done for one front facing camera.
r/Dashcam • Best front facing dash cam for under $200? ->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.
r/Dashcam • Dashcam Recommendations? ->I bought and use a ROVE R2-4K. It's one camera and records to a card. I'm happy with it for a basic front video.
r/Dashcam • Best dashcam that does not require hardwiring ->I use the ROVE R2-4K. It's a basic front view dashcam that I just use with a card. I like that it's easy to install to the windshield and easy to remove.
r/Dashcam • Walmart/Sams dash cams ->I got the ROVE R2-4K recently and love it...its supercapacitor based so no issues of lithium batteries heating up. And the day and night quality is very good, I upgraded from an Aukey DR02 which I had for over 5 years to this and it's quite good so far.
r/DubaiPetrolHeads • What's a good, cheap dashcam? ->If you want a good all around system that is super reliable I would go with the Rove R2-4K. Just keep in mind it is not true 4K and the video quality is average with poor night video quality. Still I like it so far and the deals it had with all the features was a nice bonus. The video quality for the viofos are much better in terms of being capable of reading license plates and the quality of night videos. I would go for the viofo pro if you're not on a budget. I personally don't like how outdated it looks which makes me wonder if that's why some reviews mention problems. Where I live it gets hot, and reading the bad reviews with potential heat and SD card errors deterred me enough from it even though viofo has a lot more useful features functionality wise. I'm patient and am hoping in a few years they make changes to the design.
r/dashcams • Rove R2-4k dual vs Viofo A229 Pro/Plus ? ->I have a Rove 4K dash cam in my 2013 Highlander and it works really well. I have a FitCamX in my 2020 Corolla hybrid and it works well but it doesn’t have the screen and some of the other bells and whistles of the Rove. I like that the fitcam looks factory but if you’re wanting something with a little bit more bells and whistles the Rove is nice
r/ToyotaHighlander • Dash Cams.. ->I have a Rove R2-4K in my Highlander and I really like it. I connect it to the mirror for power. I think I paid about $200
r/ToyotaHighlander • Dashcam ->I have the ROVE r2-4k front and Rear facing.... my previous came was the same brand but it was only the front facing one. I might take it back out and put back in my car to use as a cabin cam, since I haven't sold it to anyone...
r/uberdrivers • What dash cams do you guys have? ->I have a VIOFO A229 Plus in my EUV. A little pricy (around $200) but the quality is good and I like that it makes it easy to have a front and rear camera. Also, it has a good WiFi connection (uses 5GHz), so downloading videos off the device is pretty quick (my previous dashcam, a rove r2-4k, had an awful WiFi chip, so downloading a minute-long video would take upwards of 10 minutes. Which was borderline useless when I just wanted to quickly get the video and pass it along to someone).
