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?

I have two different brands for two cars. Both are 4k front and 1080p rear. This one is very slim profile and quality is pretty nice.

[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.
