ROVE R3 Dash Cam Front and Rear with Cabin, 3” IPS Touch Screen, 3 Channel Dash Cam 1440P+1080P+1080P Car Camera with IR Night Vision, 5G WiFi, GPS, Supercapacitor, Supports up to 512GB Max

Purchased an R3 to replace an R2 so I'd have the additional lines of sight. Unfortunately I didn't get to install it right away due to an accident. The driver admitted fault, yet his insurance tried to avoid covering everything. Thankfully the R2 video disproved their allegations that most the damage was pre-existing. This reassured my decision upgrading to the R3. It was multiple months after the purchase until I had my vehicle back and was able to install the R3. A couple months into using the R3, it stopped working properly. Of course this happened to occur just after the warranty period ended. The folks at ROVE responded to my inquiry much faster than I anticipated and follow up responses were received within minutes typically which is almost unheard of in the customer service world these days. Troubleshooting tips did not resolve the issue and despite being outside the warranty...ROVE went above opting to still replace the camera. Turnaround time from sending my camera in to receiving the replacement was very quick. Between my experience with the R2 saving me from having to take a hit on repairs and the customer service standing behind the R3... I highly recommend ROVE if you're looking for a dash cam.

Amazing video clarity in a small package. Easy to set up and get into operation immediately. I messed up a cable during installation. The cable is specific to the camera. I had a replacement cable in 2 days. The cable was out of stock on line. I Called the company and they had the cable in the mail that same day. Great customer service 👍.

I highly recommend purchasing this product! At first I was hesitant, only because I didn’t know much about my options or where to begin, but after comparing a few different brands with their features I was excited to try this Rove R3. The video is very clear and it’s nice to be able to mute the microphone when you want. The system is hardwired to the vehicle so there’s no need to worry about battery life. My husband was able to install the wires for the front and rear cameras. After my husband had me check the camera views, on the display, I noticed the rear camera was upside down. I didn’t realize you can just rotate the camera view from the display settings and when he went to unplug it, to flip the camera, and the connector broke off the power cable. I immediately text messaged the company, from the information provided in the booklet, and they responded quickly and sent me a new power cable. Their customer service has given me peace of mind knowing they stand behind their product and want their customers happy with their product.

The amount of Dash cameras on the market is just mind numbing. I selected this camera based on other reviews and it's been a great choice thus far. I liked the fact GPS and speed are recorded on the video. You can remove this if not wanted. I Recommend downloading and using the app. You can setup almost everything from the front touch panel, but It's much more convenient for me via the app. You must create an account with Rove to use the app. To review recorded videos you will need the phone app or remove the microSD card and play on a computer. There is no way to play recorded videos from the touch screen.When you get the unit make sure to upgrade the firmware. There are some annoying bugs out of the box. A few bugs were... 1) Cabin audio record would always record your audio regardless of setting. 2) If you needed your rear camera inverted 180 degrees, software would flip it back to non inverted going in and out of parking mode. software never checked what the user selected. I wrote a quick email to Rove Innotech with my findings not really expecting a response back. To my amazement Aman (R&D Manager) wrote back within a day addressing all my issues. He provided a new firmware to try R3-8-30-22 which fixed all the issues. This was great feedback. According to Rove they are accepting bug reports and actively working on firmware updates. Two ways to update firmware. 1) Connect to R3 via built in wifi with your phone and their app. 2) If trying a beta version, format microSD card, remove from device and plug into your computer. Copy over the file give by tech support onto microSD. Unplug R3 from power and insert microSD. Plug R3 into constant 5v USB power and boot. R3 will see this file and automatically update. Rove will provide help as needed.One draw back is rear camera is not waterproof and should be mounted inside. I did some waterproofing of mine and mounted as a test just above the rear license place. 1080P looks great. The camera turns on for 1minutes (time selectable) when vehicle is started. If the rear camera is selected it also doubles as a backup camera. The front facing camera is 2K 1440P. This give enough resolution to see whats going on in front of the vehicle. You can read license plates in the day from maybe 30ft away. I have the cabin video disabled, but this would be great for a uber, taxi or company vehicle. My expectation was not to read a license plate from 100ft away, it's an inside mounted dash camera have to be reasonable in expectation. Would be neat if they added a external waterproof front and rear camera option. Mounting the camera on the front grill would remove windshield glare and allow much better visibility. Motorcycle camera systems are designed like this. At night it does a fair job for what it is. This is not a $1000 CCD imager with huge dynamic range.I did purchase the external power module to allow parking mode. At this price not sure why this was not included. I had to order a replacement module as the one I ordered failed out of the box. The DC module is really just two 12v to 5v converters. One red wire connects to a constant 12v source which always provides 5v to red wire going up the USB C cable. Yellow wire connects to an 12v accessory circuit which is only powered when vehicle key is turned or running. This feeds a second 12v to 5v converter which feeds the yellow wire into the USB C cable. I made up my own cable as a temp solution which worked fine for a few days until a replacement arrived. Their module has a low voltage disconnect circuit which is a must to prevent running vehicle battery down. So far the vehicle has sat for three days without any low voltage issues. Started right up. Will report back if any issues.

The dashcam itself is great, when it is working. I have this installed in my wife’s vehicle and there are multiple instances where the dashcam will require a hard restart in order to start recording again. I currently have the dashcam plugged into a 12V in the vehicle and it works well. Video footage for all cameras are excellent and when comparing to my blackvue, have similar picture quality.
