I gave this as a gift and after noticing my daughter never used it, I asked why and she said she thought it was missing something. She asked if I wanted it so I said yes. Ten minutes of set up and it’s up and running. I think she missed the first step where you install the SD card. The video helps a lot but the instructions that came with it are clear too. I found the icons like “menu” and “up” and “down” buttons hard to read, however. Nice clear picture. I’m leaving the manual in my glove box.
Terrific. Answered all my questions about settings. I just returned a competitor's undocumented dash cam because it turned out the time lapse option required the hardwire kit (duh). No RUclipsr had done a proper video like this on that product or I would have been aware of the "gotchas".
I just bought one of these cameras. They're pretty cool and loaded with features. This video does a good job of walking you thru the menus and setup. I would recommend this camera. But by the Polarizing lens as well. It helps.
Heya! Got a concern, I recently checked my cars fuse box and it seems as if every single fuse is constant. The car is completely off and I check the fuse connectors and the tool I’m using lights up with every single fuse. That can’t be right or is it possible for a car to have ALL constant fuses? Or am I doing something wrong somehow? Not a single fuse seems to be switched. I’m driving a 2021 trailblazer.
Hi New Atlantis Republic! Normally there are several places where ACC can be found (remember if all the circuits on the car are on all the time, the battery would drain quite fast), now some cars do have multiple fuse boxes. Here is my video on how I find ACC and BATT on any car ruclips.net/video/K2iKXj82354/видео.html the car on that video for example has two fuse boxes inside the car and a third one outside the car in the engine compartment (some cars also have a fuse box in the trunk like the Dodge Charger) so that may also be where ACC and BATT can be obtained from. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Hi H! Ah remember while the OBD2 adapter can potentially be used for park monitoring, it will not enable true park mode. Here is my vide on that adapter where I explain how it works ruclips.net/video/YEklm9V6xYE/видео.html Cheers!
I have an aftermarket car alarm (medium sensitivity). I also installed a mirror cam with 24 hour parking mode (Timelapse). Is there a way to incorporate a dash cam to record when the alarm gets triggered? Or a vehicle alarm that can be upgraded with dash cam options.
Hi! Normally alarm systems do not interface to a dash cam or the other way around, however it's a great idea and I hope we will something like that in the future. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Hi! Good question, interestingly enough Lingdu LD01 does not have their own hardwire kit, however they recommend to use this one amzn.to/3Xck30g Hope this helps, Cheers!
Hi Steven! I would recommend using the Rove recommended memory card (link to it in the video description) for best performance. I would also recommend using a high quality memory card reader to ensure the best transfer speeds. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun I tried various versions of the app and older ones give me good speeds, up to 5mbs, but not stable. I'm pretty sure it's not the memory card and its the app.
Hi Steven! Ah I thought you were coping files to your PC. If you are using the App the video files are downloaded via Wifi. I prefer using a memory card reader to transfer files since it's usually faster but if you prefer to use the App and you are still having having trouble downloading them, I would recommend contacting the Rove tech support team, they may be able to walk you thru some troubleshooting steps. And please keep us posted on your findings. Cheers!
Hi Frank! Wifi enabled dash cams do not let you see a live view or access the videos while your away from the car. What you are looking for is a Cloud enabled dash cam like this one ruclips.net/video/EBLvq2X2SwQ/видео.html (live video, tracking, notifications to your phone etc.) And I have more dash cam reviews on my channel in the playlist "Dash Cams Reviews" if you like to compare them. Cheers!
Thank you Joy! Ah sounds like your dash cam is not recording, I would have the installer confirm the installation. Also I would check the memory card, remember some dash cam are very sensitive to low performing cards (and sometimes even the brand) I placed the link to the memory card I use in the video description if you need it. Cheers!
Hi! I usually don't recommend updating the firmware unless directed by tech support to do so or if you are willing to accept the the risks involved with updating it. If something goes wrong during the upgrade, you can potentially turn your dash cam into a brick (it has even happened to me LOL). Firmware updates for dash cams are not like the App updates we get on our phones (where we are constantly updating it). The update instructions are on the Rove website (link to the Rove dash cam in the video description) but again I would be extremely careful if attempting this. Cheers!
Another great informative and easy to understand videos from you. Thank you. Do you have one like this for the Rove R2-4K Pro version? Also, I notice when I leave the cam connected to phone wifi, I am unable to send emails, order starbucks etc. Seems to only let the phone call and text. Have you heard of this problem? Thanks again.
Thank you Vincent! Ah yes here is the review for the Pro ruclips.net/video/OhAXWsGIucs/видео.html and yes most phones currently only support being connected only one Wifi at a time, however if you phone is on you cell phone provider's network, you may be able to access the internet and the rest of it's functions (some phones support Wifi and LTE connection at the same time). Cheers!
Thank you Kjirsten! Ah remember the dash cam is always recording so if there is a car crash there will be video saved of it (and if the G-Sensor function is enabled, the video will also be flagged).Cheers!
Wait a minute..... The options you showed werent actual 4k. Why does the camera have 4k in the name if its only 2k? It this also the case with the Pro version?
Hi Lil! Yes, this dash cam does not support 4K, here is the full review so you can see it's features ruclips.net/video/ct4AUXNGvQk/видео.html The newer Pro model does allow to set it the resolution to 4K, here is the review for it ruclips.net/video/OhAXWsGIucs/видео.html Regarding the model name, only Rove knows lol I had other people ask a similar question in the years since it's release but unless we get an official answer from Rove, the answer would be speculation (but I imagine it's possible it was a marketing choice) Cheers!

Have u tried connecting this to OBD cable yet? I wonder if the the 24hour parking mode will work that way?..
