ROVE R2-4K Dash Cam WiFi GPS Car Camera Ultra HD 2160P In Car DVR Dashboard Camera Recorder with 150° Wide Angle, Super Night Vision, G-Sensor, Parking Mood, Time Lapse

I bought one of theses to replace an Apeman Dash Cam which had failed. I must say I am very impressed with it, it is great quality and good value for money. I had been contemplating a Nextbase Dash Cam, but this one popped up on Amazon. Whilst there were only 3 reviews for this in the UK, I somehow managed to get to Amazon USA, where there was 100 + reviews all saying how good it was, so I bit the bullet. The item arrived the following day, the packaging & presentation were very impressive, the instructions printed on good quality paper AND all in English! The instructions were easy to read ( unlike many Chinese electronics) also the controls on the camera were easy to use and understand. I downloaded the Rove app to my phone & I can now watch live video or download recorded files on my phone, I have got to say I'm very impressed with it. Night shots are nice & bright and easily viewed ( unlike a friends Nextbase, which just shows a dark screen at night). The picture quality is very good due to the high resolution. I did have a problem downloading the software to my iPad and also an Android tablet, but after contacting Customer services, it appears my iPad is an old version which will not support the app. Another issue I had was the micro SD card was not overwriting the old files and I got a message saying the card was full. Again I contacted Andy in Customer services to be asked if I was using a good quality SD card. I have since fitted a SanDisk 32gb microSD card and the problem is resolved. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase, the item is of good quality and there is also very good prompt customer service. I would recommend this Dash Cam. As stated earlier there are only a few reviews on Amazon UK as Rove have just started selling this Dash Cam in the UK. If you are looking for a good quality Dash Cam with WiFi & GPS look no further, this is the one to buy!

Please note I don’t generally do reviews. The high quality of this dash cam is obvious straight out of the box. Features include GPS and live speed recording. 2 different mounts and 2 power leads means the item can be moved easily between 2 vehicles. Useful & easy to set up apps for smartphone & computer to view & download video. Really excellent customer service via email when I couldn’t get the GPS to work - it does now! Only slight niggle is the menu tree is a bit complicated but you soon get used to it with using the dash cam regularly. Well done ROVE - great product & very helpful support!

I quite liked the simple set up quality and timelapse.

Very easy to set up and automatically starts when car engine started. Gives me piece of mind when driving.

I was contemplating a different dash cam with WiFi (well known make 512gw) but saw this cam on the U.S site. It is hugely popular with the U.S truckers, and having read the reviews there and seen the silly negative ones here (about the plasticises used in production which a particular U.S state demands is on all plastic items) I decided to give it a try. Firstly I hooked it up to my computer and checked the firmware, it is bang up to date. Software for the camera was easily installed onto PC. Upon installation in my truck, I’ve had a lot of window suction pads over the years (sat navs, phones and previous cams) and this is by far and back, the best screen adhesion of them all. You can also use sticky pads (provided) and as it came with both a suction pad and a clip for using the sticky pads, I put them in my car windscreen. (I have since tested sliding it out of one T bar mount (suction pad) and transferring it into the one in the car and it was very simple to do. So effectively, whenever I drive, I have this cam in the vehicle. It is also supplied with short and long usb cables, which helped a lot as my truck has a usb connection within reach of the screen, my car doesn’t, so long one went in the car. This week I had a possible insurance scam incident on the M6 roadworks in Cheshire. Bloke pulled in front, brake hard, then pulled away onto the coned area of the hard shoulder. As I didn’t hit him, I carried on. Upon arrival at the customer, I fired up the app on my iPad (also have it on phone). WiFi connection to phone was simple. Press to stop filming first, then into menu, go right, first item in WiFi, turn it on. Next on tablet, with app running, goto WiFi settings and the rove is displayed, connect and then once connected, return to app. Files were very easy to find, and simple to download. Be prepared, a 5 minute clip in 4K is over 600mb ! Cam takes upto a 128gb micro sd card and I recommend buying a decent one (class 10 and make sure it is 4K compatible or card will soon be useless) of those so you can record near enough a whole day. The video quality was fantastic, and I could easily read his number plate on the iPad screen. Saved clip to phone. You can also use the iPad as a remote screen for the camera once connected, interesting as you can leave connected to WiFi, and use as security device. You can also change most settings probably more easily using the iPad than the small buttons these cams all have Overall, I am delighted with this cam. I can see why the truckers over the pond love it and it gets a massive big thumbs up from me Once again, regarding the SD card. Upto 128gb. You just get both class 10 and 4K compatible. Due to the complexities I don’t understand of recording and re-recording 4K on sd cards, they will fail if they don’t meet that standard

Sent back as it had a warning about causing cancer. Yup. You read this correct. There’s a huge label on the back with this statement.

Having had a DOD Dashcam for about 10 years I decided to update. Spent several days checking on Youtube and decided on this Rove r2 Dashcam. So very pleased with this, that 4 days later, I purchase another for my rear view. This was followed by a neighbour being so impressed with mine , that he also purchase one. Build quality is excellent, sound quality also excellent. Video quality stunning. Very easy to remove, to take indoors when not in use, or swap to another car, 2 mounts supplied, plus 2 leads. . Built in GPS works well, with Google Maps, as does the Wifi to your mobile . Am the worlds worst at finding fault with things , but I can't fault this. Cautionary word for Dashcam beginners, if the picture is too dark, go to EV in settinge and raise the value a notch. Very highly recommended, 100%

Great picture quality, easy to set up and use, however, when downloading a video via WiFi, it doesn't stay connected long enough to finish the job, when it is connected, it seems very slow to download even though the phone was right next to the cam. I ended up connecting the dashcam to my PC to download the videos.

quick installation time and good resolution with two wires, short and long, USB connector.

Die erste bestellt Cam kam nicht an. Kein Problem bei Amazon. Geld wurde zurückgebucht. Beim zweiten Versuch hat es dann geklappt. Die Cam läßt sich intuitiv bedienen, man stellt die Sprache auf Deutsch um und schon klickt man sich durch das Menue durch und ruckzuck ist alles eingestellt. Die Betriebsanleitung in englisch ist jetzt keine besondere technische Herausforderung und versteht auch der technisch Unversierte. Der Saugnapf hält bombenfest auf seinem Platz. Die Aufnahmen sind gut, daran habe ich nichts auszusetzen. Allerdings darf man sich nicht der falschen Vorstellung hingeben, man könne auch bei Hochauflösung ein Nummernschild wirklich lesen. Bei Autos die einem entgegen kommen und bei Abenddämmrung so gut wie nicht, es sei denn beide fahren nur Schrittgeschwindigkeit. Das Nummernschild des Vorausfahrenden kann auch nur gelesen werden wenn man nah genug aufgefahren ist. Aber letztlich geht es im Zweifelsfall um die Darstellung eines evtuellen Unfallgeschehens und dafür ist sie von der Aufzeichnungsqualität absolut in Ordnung. Bei sonnigem Wetter ist die Lesbarkeit von Nummernschildern und Ortstafeln besser. Das GPS Signal kommt, je nach Verfügbarkeit, nach 200 m Fahrzeit und zeichnet korrekt auf. Das Anbringen der Cam an der Windschutzscheibe ist simpel und dank der geringen Größe der Cam stört sie auch die Sicht nicht. Ich hab sie bei mir direkt neben dem Innenspiegel leicht versetzt angebracht. Das Stromkabel habe ich nicht extra verlegt. Mich stört ein kurzes Kabel das offen liegt nicht. Es ist ja ohnehin nur eins, da das GPs Modul im Gerät selbst enthalten ist. Bei einer anderen Cam die ich habe, benötigt man eine gesonderte GPS Antenne und schon hat man 2 Kabel. Insofern ist die Lösung mit GPS im Gerät deutlich besser und es entsteht kein Kabelsalat. Die Aufnahmen selbst können über den PC problemlos angeschaut werden. Zeit und gefahrene Geschwindigkeit werden korrekt wiedergegeben, über google maps kann auch der Fahrtverlauf dargestellt werden. Nachtfahrten hab ich mit der Cam noch nicht durchgeführt, insofern kann ich zur Bildqualität hierzu keine Aussage treffen. Bislang erfüllt die Cam die Erwartungen und insofern eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

Good value and easy to use. This is my second purchase.

追記 なんとタイムセール+クーポン付きで超激安になっていたのでさらに一つ買ってしまいました。 新しい型に代わるようで在庫処分でしょう 同じr2-4kでも今度はUSB-Cになるタイプになるようです。 値段が相応に上がると思うので、miniUSBでも我慢できる人はセール品を買いましょう。 サンプル画像載せてみました。 WQHD 26fpsの夕方のサンプルです。 ----追記ここまで-------- 北米市場では結構売れているドラレコのRoveが日本向けに発売してたのを発見しましたので買ってみました。 日本からの評価もレビューもまだどこにもないのでもしかしたら日本で一番最初のレビューかもしれません まず4Kでの撮影が可能と記載されていますが実際の解像度は 最大で2880*2160 24fpsでbitrateは24666kbps,1秒間で3MB/sです。 1分で180MB,1GBで6分弱録画できます。 フルHDの時は14Mbpsだったので倍近く容量が必要です。 このドラレコに限らない話ですが、高耐久のドラレコ用MLCのSDカードじゃないと数カ月のせずにぶっ壊れると思います。 画質は解像度が高いながら今までの最高レベルの画質に見えます。 以前はDrivePro 230,70mai 1sなどを使っていますが ROVE R2-4Kの画質は圧倒的です。 暗目の場所でもナンバープレートを読み取れます。 GPSも速度計もついてますし、機能面は言うまでもありません。 本体のメニューも日本語化されてます。 音声も案内もあります。 音声を消して機械音にする事も、無音にできます。 無音にできるのは地味に嬉しいです 今だと3000円引きクーポンがついてました。 日本市場に入ってきたばかりなので格安でバラまいているのでしょうが 米国だと120ドル程度で売られていますので今だけでしょうが信じられない位のコスパです。 どうしてもこれはないなと思ったマイナス箇所はminiUSBだという事です。 写真で載っててわかってましたが今更miniUSBはないでしょう。 TypeCがベストですが、せめて最低でもmicroUSBにしてください・・ 2023年においてminiUSBとかありないにも程があります。 そこが唯一のマイナス点です。 その点を踏まえてもドラレコとしては圧倒的な画質とコスパの良さですべてが許せます。 多分この値段での販売は今だけだと思いますが、 4K近くてちゃんとした画質+一通りの機能を持ったドラレコとしては文句なしの１品だと思います。

Excellent dash-cam. Very clear and stable image and able to make out number plates. I use the suction cup fixing and there is no vibration at all. It is also very easy to set up and use, with nice positive switches and menu system. I have no hesitation in recommending this dash-cam to anyone looking into purchasing a dash-cam.
