*** 3 year update – far out, where did that 3 years go?? I blinked and missed it 😔 … Anyway, It’s been 3 years and this camera still functions fine. The built in battery that powers the camera briefly while parked doesn’t hold a charge as long as it did when new. It will power the camera for about 30 seconds (+/-) as a standalone power source if the camera is set to detect impacts while parked. If you have the power supply offered by Rove this won’t be an issue. I’ve been extremely happy with this camera. For the money I couldn’t have asked for more! This will most likely be the last update as I’m sure you’re tired of reading this review by now 😁. It’s an awesome camera, just buy it, you won’t be disappointed! In closing, stay safe out there, be well, and live life to its fullest! ***
*** 2 year update – Well, here we are 2 years after purchasing this camera. It’s scary how fast time flies! I don’t have a lot to add to my original review. The camera still functions perfectly and I’m still very satisfied with my purchase. I download a short video to my phone every few months just to make sure the camera, memory card, app, and wifi still function properly, and I glance up at the camera when I start the vehicle just to make sure it’s recording for each trip. I still use the original app available for the camera, and the Samsung memory card that was recommended and purchased with the camera at the time of my original review. I notice now that Rove is recommending other types of memory card, and there have been app upgrades since, but I’m not going to mess with a good thing so I’ll keep everything as it is. Overall I have been more then satisfied with my Rove experience. If/when this one eventually fails I will not hesitate to purchase another one, so Rove, please don’t stop making this camera! ***

Original unedited review….
I purchased this camera at an Amazon “Prime Day” price. I also purchased a Samsung Evo Select (Class 10-U3) 168gb micro sd card at the same time as one isn’t supplied with the camera.
I have been using the camera for about 4 weeks at the time of this review.
This is a nice, small, unobtrusive, dashcam. It appears, and feels, to be built from quality materials. It comes with a couple of different brackets for mounting. The double sided tape mounting bracket was the best option for my ’07 Jeep Wrangler due to the near vertical windshield. The suction mount, when mounted nearly vertical, held the lens almost right on the glass. I mounted mine to the plastic trim above the windshield with the supplied tape mount where it’s perfectly stable and holds the lens a couple of inches from the windshield.
The instruction booklet supplied with the camera is well written and easy to follow. There are also several “how to” video tutorials available on the Rove website which go into detail of the operation, setup, and button shortcuts available on this camera. The camera’s onboard menu’s are easy to follow and navigate. There is even voice guidance with each button press which is in clear english, in a female voice. That’s just plain cool at this price point! With even basic knowledge of electronic gadgets, setup is straight forward and can be completed in about 10 minutes or less. If after reading the included instruction booklet, and viewing the video tutorials, you still have questions, concerns, or problems, a text or an email sent to Rove is quickly answered in a kind, informative, and professional manner. My own initial questions (via text) were answered in less than 3 minutes, and it was on a Sunday. It’s also refreshing that the technicians are based right here in the USA in Chicago!
This camera’s video quality is outstanding! Although you can view the videos on the screen of the camera just be aware that the screen is very small and pixelated. It’s not a fault, it’s there if you need it, or want to use it, and it functions as it should, but don’t expect full HD video results on a 2 inch screen. Pulling the sd card and viewing on a computer, or a quick download to my Android phone (after installing the free app) using the built in wifi results in a high quality HD video that can be viewed by, or shared with anyone. At 1080p@60fps, with the 168gb Samsung Evo Select micro sd card that I chose, a 1 minute video (157mb) can be downloaded via wifi to my old Samsung Galaxy S8 in under a minute, and a 3 minute video (464mb) in roughly 2.5 minutes. I haven’t found a need to operate my camera above 1080p@60fps yet but at that resolution videos, when viewed on my phone, are sharp and clear with bright natural colors, and without glitches or twitches. I am more than satisfied with the video quality and camera performance on bright sunny days, nighttime, and on rainy or overcast days. It has been used in all of those conditions already and performed above my expectations.
Although nothing new, this camera has a very sensitive built in microphone that records audio to the video. Thankfully It can be permanently disabled in the settings menu if you wish. Again, it is VERY sensitive. I’ve left mine on but am mindful of what I say outloud these days. All I hear in the videos unless I’m on the phone, conversing with a passenger, or accidentally muttering an obscenity at another driver, is the radio when it’s on, the hum of my offroad tires, and large bugs smacking the windshield. A simple button push, the up button (^) on mine, enables a quick toggle on or off of the mic, or as mentioned before you can disable it completely in the settings menu. The mic is very useful during traffic stops, or road rage incidents, where people are close enough to the vehicle to be heard so I leave mine on and only toggle it off if I don’t want audio recorded at that moment.
I can’t report on longevity or lifespan of the camera yet as I’ve only had it for a month, but so far I have experienced zero issues. The camera comes with a 12 month factory warranty, and I purchased a 3 year protection plan through Amazon (Asurion) at the same time I purchased the camera. The protection plan rides on the back of the factory warranty for the first twelve months, then acts as a true extended warranty for the remaining two years. I’m covered for any unforeseen mechanical issues, or faults, for 3 years so I’m happy.
Having this camera provides peace of mind, and an added sense of security, in the event something does happen in future while driving and I need an unbiased, honest, witness to the event.
I have already recommended this camera to friends and family members. There are better cameras out there I’m sure, but at this price point you are getting a lot of camera for your money!
I have attached a couple of photos of the camera mounted in my vehicle, and two screen shots grabbed from video to give an idea of nighttime and heavy rain camera ability.

Amazing picture quality, Amazing functions !!! So easy to review on your phone. If I could give this 20 stars I would gladly do it. Part of those stars would have to go to the absolute outstanding customer service !!! Rochelle responded in minutes and is so knowledgeable and polite she had me up and running in no time. I can’t say enough good things, especially this day and age. I am so impressed with her and the product I will be telling anyone that will listen hahaha. Thank you for redeeming my faith in humanity !!!!

5 stars for costumer service

“After years of buying things on Amazon, it is my first review ever!
I spent hundred of hours online to look and compare dashcam specs, price and reviews. This one had all the specs I was looking for, including a reasonable price. But what caught my eye for this one, were the reviews explaining in details how great their experience was with customer Serivce. Another thing that caught my attention was the fact that this company offers firmware updates and an app for your phone.
So I bought it and got it the next day! You gotta love Prime!I
In the box, you get 2 usb cables, one short to connect the dashcam to your compter and another one of 12ft long for your car. I quickly released that the 12ft cable was defective. I was not impressed to say the least. Info provided in the box explains that you can contact customer service Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm via text or email but it could take up to 6h. Well, it was a Saturday when I got the dashcam so It was another bummer for me to have to wait until Monday to speak to customer service. I live in Canada so I did not want to text. I decided to email customer Serivce that same Saturday I got my dashcam. A hour after I sent my email, Joe from Rove customer service replied to me and asked me additional info to confirm my credential etc…. Joe was very professional in his communication and on the second email reply, Joe let me know that he shipped a 12ft cable my way and provided me with the UPS tracking #… Unfortunately with the pandemic situation, I got it 2 weeks later, no fault to ROVE neither for the cable, it happens…
Here is my review:
CUSTOMER SERVICE:
5 stars, and I must say that I was impressed with their packaging: easy to read, friendly Manuel, well done!!!
HARDWARE:
The dashcam does not look cheap at all, very slick and good looking to my point of view, see picture. time will tell but it is a solid 4.5 stars in my book
INSTALATION:
Super easy to install, once again the instruction in the box are very well done. In the box they give you a plastic stick to be used to hide/tuck in the wire (see picture). It took me 5 minutes and if I can do it, you can do it!
APP:
The iPhone (I have the 12pro max) app has a terrible rating on the apple store. Unless the prior versions were glitchy, I can only assume that it was a user error, not the app. The app works as advertised, zero issue for me. I will give the app a solide 4 stars. The app can always be improved and I wish you can have the same options in the app that are available in the dashcam. For example, I would like to be able to change from mile to km within the app without doing it in the dashcam itself. in short, I think the app should mirror the dashcam when it comes to the settings.
USER EXPERIENCE:
Easy to use despite all the options available for that dashcam. The engineers really had the customer in mind when they created the operation system, they have done a great job with the menu and settings.
FIRMWARE:
When you have company that provide firmware update, you know that they stand behind their product!
VIDEO QUALITY
I have zero complains, as advertised, night and day, it looks good
Just for the customer service alone, I will recommend that product. Add to this a dashcam packed with options that are easy to use, installing is a breath, the dashcam video/ picture quality is on point and all of this for a reasonable price.. I have to give overall 5 stars as the company provide app and firmware update and will keep improving this product! “
