ROVE is a brand of Car Dash Camera. Innovation & Technology is what we do and breathe everyday here at ROVE INNOTECH.
At ROVE, our goal is to keep working hard to make innovative hardware & software of the camera to give you that personalized experience.
Experience the difference with ROVE.
How did we get our start?
We started from our home garage in 2015 with a dream and dedication to design innovative dash cameras and bringing them to life.
What makes our products unique?
At ROVE, we strive for user experience. We are constantly improving and provide FREE firmware updates and APP updates for iOS & Android.
Why do we love what we do?
At ROVE, we think differently. We love and take pride in what we do. Selling a dash cam and making a few bucks is one thing, but EARNING YOUR TRUST and SATISFACTION is our bottom line here at ROVE.
【Experience The Difference with ROVE】ROVE R3 is a 3 channel touch screen dash camera for cars. This is all you need for any dash cam need and enthusiast, period. It has all the bells and whistles with an industry-changing design that features 3 Inch IPS Touch Screen with just a single power button and the rest is done magically by ROVE's custom-designed firmware of this dash camera.
【Beautifully Designed and User Friendly yet Super Powerful】It took us 1.5 years to design this. So think about how meticulously we have designed it, that we call it a smart dash camera that anyone can start using right out of the box. (NOTE: The memory card is required and it is NOT included - purchase separately, supports micro-sd, class 10 U3 speed, up to 512GB max)
【Let's talk about all the bells and whistles】Here we go, It's got 3" IPS touch screen, 3 channel recording front + cabin + rear, the all-new ROVE APPs for iOS and Android, remote firmware updates, always ON dual-band 5.0 GHz and 2.4 GHz built-in WiFi for super-fast transfer speed, Built-In GPS for live speed, compass, and location stamps, proprietary fail-safe voice guidance, supercapacitor offers safety and longer product life unlike other internal battery dash cams.
【More bells and whistles】24 hours parking monitor, G-Sensor, loop recording, built-in digital image stabilization, f1.4 lens aperture allows more light in the camera capturing the smallest details on the road, wide dynamic range, advanced H.265 and H.264 video compression technology, four hidden IR LEDs for cabin camera recording in complete darkness, screen saver, USB Type C ports and included fast dual USB charger, time-lapse video and so much more.
【Best Part of ROVE R3 is Its User Experience】Our bottom line is user experience. The best part of the ROVE R3 is the 5.0GHz WiFi and the all-new beautifully designed ROVE APPs. Its always ON WiFi feature allows you to seamlessly view your videos on your smartphone using the Rove dash cam app. Purchasing ROVE R3 comes with so-called a unique ROVERS experience that you will notice when you hold this dash car camera - dash cam front and rear with a cabin in your hands.

Title: Fantastic dashcam and fee so good to have something recording all the time.
Review: Got the hardwire kit along with the R3. That allows for parking mode to be enabled. Which is something I need as our last car seemed to be a magnet for people hitting our car in a parking lot. Now we'll have proof and something to use to find people if they hit our Volvo XC60.Once the hardwire kit was installed (less than an hour) I put in the dashcam. Paired it with the software and it needed a firmware update. Highly suggest you do this before installing in the car. The firmware update lost all the settings I had setup and needed to reformat the SD card. Even the SSID of the WiFi changed after the firmware update.Drove around the neighborhood and saw I had to rotate the rear camera 180. That fixed that problem.Downloaded videos and at 1 min a piece it still takes a while to get the video over the 5GHz WiFi. But the video quality of all 3 cameras is excellent. Each cam saves the video to a different subdirectory aptly named Front, Cabin and Rear. Works great with my Android Pixel 7 Pro and the Rove app. Remember to use the popup Android presents because the WiFi has no internet connection you still want to remain connected to the WiFi.The front/cabin cam is on the suction cup that works REALLY well. I like that I can adjust the angle of the camera with the suction cup. Not sure that will work too well with the sticky tape.The rear camera I applied the electrostatic sheet to the rear windshield and stuck the camera to that. So far holding up just fine.For those of you concerned with privacy there is ZERO CLOUD STORAGE of videos. They stay on the SD card until you download them to your phone. Then you can copy them to the cloud if necessary. I leave the WiFi on the dashcam turned off until I need to download.I have been wanting a dashcam now for a long time. This with the parking monitoring by having the hardwire kit is worth its weight in gold.I did use the Rove 512G SD card. While pricey it was worth the hassle free installation. The front cam lens filter can be had for less as someone else pointed out and it holds on fairly tightly for a friction fit lens.

Title: Works great
Review: My first dash cam. I bought the Rove 3, front/back/cabin/parking. Works as I hoped. Bought 2 for me & my son. So much more traffic & incidents with all the people that just keep moving here.I am not technical so my sonâs dad with technical/install experience did it for us. Watching him it seemed easy but he was able to think the process thru in ways I wouldnât have thought. Plus I wouldâve been concerned about popping my car panels out & having issues with other exposed cables. But he did just fine since he knew what he was doing. Maybe next time I can do it by myself.He used the suction cup to adhere the front camera because my windshield has a steep incline. The tape/magnet wouldnât be able to get a good angle. Thank God I did use the suction cup because later, my carâs Eye Sight was showing disabled. Turns out the dash cam was blocking my carâs camera. No problem because I easily adjusted the suction cup/dash cam just a tad out of the way.My sonâs car install was good too but harder only because his car panels were more firmly set & didnât easily give. And then my son set the rear cam upside down without even thinking. However, Rove has a function to flip the camera view, thank goodness.The pairing to the app was easy too.Iâve only had it a few hours but seems to work as advertised. Iâm studying the manual to make sure I understand it all & how the auto-trigger parking mode works.This was expensive but I got it on sale during Prime Days. The dash cam is clear/good quality. I had to set the audio to high to hear it but thatâs because the A/C is on full blast but itâs also good.Iâm going to carefully read the manual & go over the app functions again. Iâll update if needed. But it is good & Iâm thankful to have been able to get us these dash cams.

Title: Update - first one was defective, second one works great!
Review: I contacted Rove and it was determined my first camera was defective. Since I bought two, I was able to switch out the camera and the other camera works perfectly. Video quality is great so far, I haven't tested enough at night to see how that is yet. Customer service is fantastic :)Camera seems nice, installation was easy, when it works the video quality is good.I put the camera in my car, powered it on, and struggled with the WiFi to connect to my phone even though the devices were inches apart. It kept connecting and then the WiFi signal was too weak and it would disconnect. Like I said they were inches apart. Formatted the SD card. Updated the firmware successfully but was afraid it would disconnect in the middle but it was okay. Camera worked normally that day.Yesterday when I was driving to work the camera completely froze and was unresponsive. The power button wouldnât turn it off. One the way home it worked when I started the car, again it froze on the way home. Went to a store, camera came back on when I started the car and worked the rest of the drive home. Today on the way to work it froze again. I pulled over and turned the car off because the camera wouldnât turn off. After 5 minutes I turned the car back on and the camera didnât power on, the power button doesnât turn it on. All of the connections are connected securely and the power is plugged in with the supplied adapter. So, I am expecting I will be returning it tomorrow.I am really fed up with this camera, and I bought one for a gift for my husband but I am not installing another one with the way this one has performed. So, both will be going back.I would not recommend this camera to a friend or purchase it again.I bought it because of all of the fantastic R2 reviews.

Review: This product was clearly designed and made with care and is supported by great and highly responsive customer service. Easy installation for both front and rear windows. The phone app works wonderfully and readily pairs with the dash cam. This dash cam works exactly as described. There are many very useful options to explore. I highly recommend anyone who wants or needs a dash cam that they buy this unit. Made and supported in the USA by a caring company.

Review: La Camara dejó de grabar en algunas ocasiones y tuve que apagar y volver a encender, en realidad no se si es alguna configuración pero ya no lo ha vuelto a hacer. De ahÃ, la Camara funciona correcto, la tengo instalada con el kit de estacionamiento y graba cuando alguien se acerca mucho al carro, todo normal, de ahà nada extraordinario, solo calidad de video deja algo que desear. Por el precio tal vez se puede conseguir algo mejor.

Review: I really wanted to like this cam but too many things wrong at this stage. The Mac replay app freezes up - every time I try to click on any button. This is on an iMac Pro running the latest OS-Monterey. On the PC it always quits after attempting to run. The video capture playback on my iPhone runs at about 4x normal speed. - WAY too fast. Can't change that. Same speeded up issue viewing in Quicktime on Mac. The files that download to Mac or PC have no mp4 file designation so have to add .mp4 to every file there - tedious work. All in all; the software is not yet well developed. Additionally; the rearward facing cabin camera cannot rotate up enough to get the best angle out the back windscreen. Returning it to Amazon for refund

Review: Iâve owned plenty of dashcams and this one is by far the best. I decided to have it hardwired and so far so good. I only wish there was an option to have parking mode run longer than 24 hours. My vehicle has two batteries and so would accommodate a longer run time before low battery would cause it to shut down. Iâm out of town on occasion for a couple days and it would be piece of mind to have the dashcam run longer then one day before shutting down. Give us an option at least.So far no issues. Does what it says it does. App is user friendly and hooks up easily via WiFi. Works well. Touchscreen is sensitive and responsive. I really like this one.
