We have all experienced feeling of helplessness as a driver at some point or another. Whether it is someone hitting our car in parking lot or being pulled over for traffic violation we never know what will happen on the road. To combat this, I have been considering getting a dash cam for a while to provide objective evidence when an incident occurs. Recently, I came across the ROVE R2-4K dash cam and decided to try it. In this review I will share my experience and thoughts on this product.
Things to consider before buying a Dash Cam
Before choosing a dash cam, one should consider their goals. For example, if they will be recording long trips or recording on roads with low light and need clear imaging in low lit or dark conditions, it is best to purchase a higher-end camera with higher resolution. Additionally, the ROVE R2-4K Dash Cam comes with built-in Wifi and GPS features, so the driver can monitor the camera from their app instead of having to remove the memory card every time.
The ROVE R2-4K Dash Cam is designed for the most part for the average user in mind. It does not necessarily have the most extensive features for the professional, but it is still very well equipped. Additionally, it fits the budget of most consumers without sacrificing too much functionality.

Features & Benefits of the ROVE R2-4K Dash Cam
Built-In WiFi & Over The Air/New ROVE App
The ROVE R2-4K Dash Cam comes with an integrated Wi-Fi connection that allows the user to discreetly monitor their camera with the ROVE Dash Cam App. This not only allows the user to remotely access the camera, but also gives them the freedom to watch any footage they have recorded on their phone or tablet. The ROVE App also contains all the information a user would need, from settings, to help documents.
Built-In GPS
The GPS feature of the ROVE R2-4K Dash Cam helps a driver track their current location, speed, and route and provides information such as time and date, which can be useful in reconstructing events for insurance purposes. This feature is also helpful for pinpointing exact location in case of any legal dispute.
24HR Parking Mode
The Parking Mode of the ROVE R2-4K Dash Cam provides 24-hour surveillance of the vehicle once the car is switched off. This enables the driver to keep a watch on their car even when not in it. The parking mode will automatically start when the camera senses motion, shock or vibration.
G-Sensor
The G-Sensor in the ROVE R2-4K Dash Cam monitors impact or vibration of the car and is capable of automatically recording once an impact is detected. This helps in capturing crucial footage in case of an incident or accident.
Seamless Loop Recording
The ROVE R2-4K Dash Cam continuously records once it is powered on and automatically overwrites the oldest files when the memory card runs out of free space. This feature ensures that there is always enough memory space to record footage without any manual deletion or interference.
Time Lapse Video & Super Night Vision
The Time Lapse Video feature in the ROVE R2-4K makes it easier to record long trips, as it condenses long footage into a time-lapsed video. The Super Night Vision helps in producing clear visuals even in the dark.
Voice Guidance & Screen Saver
The Voice Guidance feature lets a driver know about the dash cam’s settings and notifications and the Screen Saver helps in saving the dash cam’s battery.
