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.

Have owned this for about 2 years. I never updated the firmware version and could not figure it out on my own, but a note to support was quickly (within an hour) answered and was thorough in giving the support I needed. Firmware was updated successfully and life returns to a state of peace. 😆

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.

I bought my first R3 camera almost 10 months ago now, right after they came out and not long after a driver backed into my new car at a red light (and ignored my horn because, as she said, "People honk all the time so I just didn't pay any attention to it"). In that case, the at-fault driver admitted fault, but I realized how easy it would have been for her to lie and make me look like the guilty party. So I ordered my first Rove dashcam the next day and have since installed them in each of our family vehicles: two R3s and two R2-4Ks.I've been very satisfied with this camera system. I've rewired a couple of times to get the wiring path I'm most comfortable with in my car. Our other R3 even wired nicely into our old Honda Odyssey with sufficient cable to find a hidden path from back to front. All the cameras have stayed in place well through very hot and very cold weather. The video quality is pretty good. I mean, it's a tiny dashcam, but it's good for what it is. Recently, a truck going the opposite direction on a 2-lane highway dropped a rock on my windshield, and I was able to pull the footage just fine except...I couldn't get my phone's app to connect to the dashcam's Wi-Fi. I ended up having to pull the SD card and get the file from it with my laptop.I emailed the company earlier this week for help and heard back within 24 hours. Alphie was very helpful. He asked for a screen recording of the problem I was having, was able to diagnose the problem right away, and helped me fix it (turns out, I was using the old app, not the new one--not a difficult problem to fix but certainly was not obvious to me). He continued the conversation through to its completion, even responding to my final email where I gave him feedback on the product.So far, I'm glad I chose Rove dashcams for our cars. These devices are worlds better than the old dashcam I tried to use years ago and finally gave up on it. I started with an R2-4K to make sure I was happy with the brand, then added three more Roves to the fleet.UPDATE: I'm now at 2.5 years with my original R3 and still very satisfied with it. I just bought two more R3s...one for a kid's new-to-them car, and another to replace the old R3 in my car. Nothing wrong with the old R3, I just wanted the new feature of the magnetic mount so I can more easily remove the camera to access the storage card or to tuck it away when needed. The old R3 is going in a different family car.I had problems installing the new R3 in my car--the old rear cam was not compatible with the new R3 main cam, but somehow I missed this tidbit and couldn't figure out why the new main cam didn't recognize the old rear cam (which I didn't want to rewire if I could help it). Customer service again was exceptional, responding to my initial text within an hour. Turns out the new R3 also requires its new rear cam, and this new rear cam requires an upgraded cable--an hour later, I had the new cable and rear cam installed, and the cameras were fully connected. I also had trouble getting the WiFi to connect to my phone properly. Gerald continued to assist via text through the entire process and ensured I had all my questions answered and all problems resolved. I wish all companies' customer service was this accessible and helpful!
