"I bought a ROVE R2 4K on Amazon in December of 2021 and it still works perfectly. ... I tried several other cameras and they all died insanely fast, days, weeks or months, after leaving them in the car."

"It's just powered by USB. ... If you can charge your phone, you can power a dash cam."

I got a rove r2 4k pro with a rear camera, and I love it. It’s currently on sale for 90 and it comes with a 128gb sd card.
This is just for the front camera? It took all of 15 minutes to run power through the headliner, down the A pillar, and to an add a fuse adapter. The back camera is what took a good hour to route through the hatch conduit and all the way to the front camera. I have the Rove R2 4k dual with the hardwire kit. Works great. No complaints. Also not a sales pitch. I just haven’t used other dash cams so can’t speak to them. Can’t post any pictures. Thanks Tiguan subreddit config.
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.
I've got a Rove R2-4K in my Rav4. Is this one better?
[ROVE R2-4K](https://www.reddit.com/r/recsmatter/comments/1pxvfvr/rove_r24k_dual_pro_dash_cam_amazons_1_bestselling/) for front + back, solid choice. I’d recommend pairing it with a hardwire kit so it can record all day while parked without you having to plug/unplug anything
I did that for this very same reason. I got a Viofo and spent $400 for front and back cameras. Then I returned it because they were asking me to buy their memory card for over $100. Got a used Rove, 2 camera system for $100 used. It has the same starvis 2 sensor in front but only 1080p for back camera. It comes with a memory card and their specs are easy for upgrading the card. It just works. Also, it does not beep when recording as the Viofo did. I'm sure there is a setting to change that. It also allows me to put in car's license plate to display on video recordings. It has a screensaver mode also. It shows direction of travel which I don't have on my rear view mirror. I was hesitant on routing the wires, but they were a breeze on my hatchback.
I own 3 of these today. Normally they are around $150 - $160 when I’ve bought them. Seems like a great price to me.
Beware of Fitcamx on my previous car; it slowly drained my battery over six months while the car was off. I have been using a [Rove R2-4k Pro](https://www.amazon.com/ROVE-R2-4K-PRO-Dashcam-Supports/dp/B0BZRKRBHP) since May in my MK 8.5, which can be hardwired into the Fuse box or connected to the 12V port, and haven't had any issues.
I got the rove r2-4K for mine. Both front and rear cameras. Easy set up, came with a trim tool that worked well. The only thing I will say, it’s inconvenient to look up previous recorded videos, but not too bad considering I’m only going to do it in the event of an accident.
I have the Rove R2-4K and am very happy with it. https://www.rovedashcam.com/products/rove-r2-4k-car-dashcam
