   NOTE
   • Make sure that the camera’s view is not obstructed by any window tint or any other objects.
   • If your vehicle has side curtain airbags please be very careful when running any cables along your vehicle windows. Ensure you are not running Cable past any of the airbags as this can prevent the airbags from deploying.

   frequently reboot or flicker LCD due to insufficient power.

6. Use the cable clip to organize and hide the power cord so that it doesn’t interfere with the driver’s vision.
   Adjust the lens angle of the camera.

7. Start the engine and check if the product works properly.
   CAUTION
   Make sure to remove the Plastic Lens Screen Protector from the lens before recording videos. Otherwise, your videos will look blurry and blocked.
   Do not remove the Micro-SD card while the camera is turned ON.
   Otherwise, it may cause memory cards to be written protected and possible loss of data or damage to your memory card. Always remove/insert the memory card while the camera is turned OFF
   Note
   After a test drive, check and make sure all the videos are recorded correctly.

Charging

Only use the supplied charger to power and charge the Rove R2-4K dash cam.
NOTE
You can use your iPhone or Android Phone’s USB Charger and plug it into your home’s 110V Wall outlet to power/charge the camera while in your home. Just make sure it is NOT a super heavy-duty charger over 3.1 AMP. Otherwise, it can damage the camera.

1. The car charger connects to the car cigarette lighter.
2. Do NOT Connect the camera to the PC for Charging. Instead, use the 110V wall outlet.
3. The device will start up Automatically and record as soon as the power supply, and the device will save the last video file and power off automatically after cutting the power supply.

TURNING YOUR CAMERA ON/OFF

AUTO POWER ON/OFF

• Auto Power ON: ROVE R2-4K Dash Cam is designed to turn ON and start recording automatically when it receives power. i.e. when the car engine is started.
• Auto Power OFF: The camera is also pre-configured to turn itself OFF automatically within a few seconds when the power gets disconnected, i.e. when the car key is turned to LOCK position.

CAUTION
Some trucks/cars’ 12V cigarette outlet is always HOT, which means it provides constant power even when the car is turned OFF and LOCKED. If this is the case for your vehicle, then the auto ON/OFF feature will not work. And If you leave the camera continuously recording when the car is turned off, then it will drain your car/truck’s battery and you might not have enough power to start your car for next time. To Remedy this situation, you can do one of the two options.

• Hardwire your dash cam to your car’s fuse box with ROVE’S 3-Lead Auto Trigger Hardwire Kit.
  Visit “www.rovedashcam.com” to purchase one separately.

• Change the connection in the fuse box for your 12V outlet to a socket that only supplies power when the car key is turned to ACC or ON position.
  (See this example-only video: https://youtu.be/F5VL-pUClnc)

MANUAL POWER ON/OFF

• To manually turn OFF: Press and hold the power button for at At least 2-3 seconds

USING WiFi FEATURE

What is a WiFi Feature?
The WiFi feature has been designed so you can pair your dash camera wirelessly with your smartphone and access your recording instantly from the dash cam. Here you can view, download and share your videos easily with your friends and family. Just like how you would connect your Bluetooth speaker to your smartphone for wireless music play, the same way dash cameras use a WiFi signal (instead of Bluetooth) to pair your smartphone with ROVE R2-4K.
What is the WiFi Range?
The WiFi signal range is about 10FT when there are NO obstructions in the middle. Please NOTE that just like your home WiFi network, you can’t have a WiFi signal outside your home, in the same way, the WiFi range is 10FT from this small device.
Can I watch the videos or surveillance around my car remotely?
NO. ROVE R2-4K dash cam is NOT made to broadcast footage over the cloud or internet. It is NOT a cloud or an IP camera and it is NOT meant to do that. You can get live video and footage on ROVE R2-4K’s APP as long as you stay within the 10FT range from the dash cam.

Pairing your R2-4K with your Smart Phone using WiFi

STEP 1: Search & Install the ROVE APP

Search for “ROVE” in App Store or Google Play Store to find the App and then download and install it on your phone.
PLEASE NOTE
ROVE R2-4K’s WiFi Connection paring does NOT broadcast the internet. The WiFi Connection to ROVE R2-4K is meant to transfer the data between your phone and the ROVE R2-4K dash cam.

http://onelink.to/vkuea4

STEP 2: Sign Up (For First-Time Users Only), Skip this step if you already have an account.
IMPORTANT
Do NOT Connect your iOS/Android device to ROVE R2-4K’s WiFi yet.

FIRST-TIME USERS:
You will need to register and create a free account using ROVE APP, so you can keep your videos and data secure on your device. (To register – you will need internet access, so make sure to stay connected to the internet using your home wifi or cellular data while registering for the first time) – You will only need to do this once. You should stay logged in to your ROVE account mostly unless you get logged out.
If you ever need to sign back into your ROVE account again, then you will need to be connected to the internet first, then login to your account before pairing with ROVE R2-4K’s WiFi.
STEP 3: Turn the WiFi ON from the R2-4K’s Settings

CONNECTING ROVE R2-4K DASHCAM WITH SMARTPHONE:

1. TURN ON WIFI FROM THE CAMERA: Long press Emergency LOCK BUTTON for 2-seconds or go to the camera’s SYSTEM SETTINGS to turn ON the WiFi feature.

2. Now open the ROVE app on your smartphone, and click on the “Connect to ROVE Dash Cam WiFi” button.”

3. Join the “ROVER2-4K*****” network using a default password displayed on your dash camera’s screen. (Default Password: 12345678)

4. Once your smartphone is connected to the ROVE Dash Cam WiFi, go back to the ROVE APP and choose your dash cam model, then click proceed to be connected. You should see the live video feed from the camera on the main home screen of the ROVE APP.
   Now you are all set to access your recording from the ROVE app and explore it further.

For Android phones:
There is one extra step you will have to take for the first time. Once you connect to ROVE R2-4K WiFi, it will say “No Internet”. Which is fine. Wait about 10-15 seconds until you see the below pop-up or notification. You just have to tap on the pop-up notification that will show up in a few seconds to select that you still want to stay connected even though there is NO Internet. Once you select this OK, you are set to go. Please contact us if you need any help.

VIDEO SETTINGS

SYSTEM SETTINGS

UNDERSTANDING CAMERA SETTINGS

Short press Key to enter the setting interface after powering on. In this case, the video recording will be stopped and you get the Settings Menu.
Attention: To EXIT the Settings Menu, Press the button to go back.

VIDEO SETTINGS
VIDEO RESOLUTION
You can choose the video resolution you like. Higher resolution videos will take more storage space.

• 2880x2160P @ 24fps (4K)
• 2560x1440P @ 30fps
• 1280x720P @ 120fps (Can Play: SLOW-Motion Video)
• 1920x1080P @ 30/60fps
• 2304x1296P @ 30fps (NO geo Tagging Data will be recorded at this resolution)
• 1280x720P @ 30/60fps

Below is the estimation of how much time is stored on the memory card in the loop feature:

This is approximate but close, give or take a few mins depending on the memory card. The lower the resolution, the more it will hold, and the higher the resolution, the less it will hold.
LOOP RECORDING
This feature allows the camera to continuously record loop by loop so it can delete the oldest video files automatically when the memory card becomes full so you don’t have to manually delete them. This feature will split each video file to the appropriate length based on your selection.

• OFF- 4GB MAX
• 1-MIN, 3-MIN (Default), 5-MIN, 10-MIN

OFF: When you choose off, the camera will continue to record each file 4GB in size until the memory card becomes full, and then it will give you a “Card Full” message. It will NOT record any further until you either delete files to make room or format the memory card.
WDR
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) improves the exposure by taking the combinations of the over-exposed and underexposed image into one robust wide range of lighting with higher depth images.

• ON (Default)
• OFF

EXPOSURE
This feature allows you to adjust the brightness of a captured image.

• 0.0 (Default)
• -2, -1.7, -1.3, -1.0, -0.7, -0.3, 0.0, +0.3, +0.7, +1.0, +1.3, +1.7, +2

TIME-LAPSE VIDEO
Time Lapse recording mode allows you to capture specific images per second at a much lower rate. So when you combine and play those images at the normal 30fps rate, everything seems to be moving faster in time-lapse.

• OFF
• 2 frame/second (Smooth)
• 4 frame/second (Smoother)

NOTE
Time-Lapse is OFF by default. It is also programmed to set to ON, then it will stay ON all the time even after the camera restarts. So all your videos will be in time-lapse speed (Faster Playing).

OPTIONS:

• OFF
• Time-Lapse 1fps & G-Sensor
• Motion Detection & G-Sensor

We have custom designed this feature as many of our valued customers have requested. They have always asked us why can’t design the parking mode or motion detection that can go into parking mode automatically. We are thrilled to inform you that we have developed this feature even better than you requested. Thank you for your support and suggestions.
Time-Lapse 1fps & G-Sensor: (See how this feature works)

1. When this feature is set to ON and ROVE’s 3-Lead Hardwire Kit is installed properly.

2. Then, when you turn OFF the car’s engine and turn the key to the lock position.

3. Then the camera will STOP the continuous video recording and it will go into the timelapse 1fps recording mode automatically.

4. Now while this timelapse is being recorded, If someone hits your car and if the impact reaches the set G-Sensor level, then the camera will stop the timelapse video > then it will start to record 1-min continuous video, save & lock that video in RO folder > then return to recording the timelapse 1fps.
   NOTE
   (When the Parking Mode got activated, the camera will give you a voice alert stating “Parking Mode got activated while you were away” when you turn ON your car the next time. If you hear this, you should check the locked videos to see what happened.)

5. Now when you start your car for the next time, the camera will automatically STOP the timelapse 1fps & G-Sensor parking mode. Then it will go into normal video mode automatically to start the continuous video recording.

Motion Detection & G-Sensor: (See how this feature works)

1. When this feature is set to ON and ROVE’s 3-Lead Hardwire Kit is installed properly.

2. Then, when you turn OFF the car’s engine and turn the key to the lock position.

3. Then the camera will STOP the continuous video recording and it will go into motion detection mode and the camera will stay ON and idle, but the LCD will be off after some seconds.

4. Now the camera will only record video when it detects motion in front of the FOV of the camera and then it will record until there is no more motion detected.

5. Now while the camera stays in Motion Detection mode, If someone hits your car and if the impact reaches the set G-Sensor level, then the camera will stop the motion detection mode > then it will start to record 1-min continuous video, save & lock that video in RO folder > then return back to the motion detection mode.
   NOTE
   (When the Parking Mode got activated, the camera will give you a voice alert stating “Parking Mode got activated while you were away” when you turn ON your car the next time. If you hear this, you should check the locked videos to see what happened.)

6. Now when you start your car for the next time, the camera will automatically STOP the motion detection & G-Sensor parking mode, and it will go back into normal video mode automatically to start the continuous video recording.

2. By turning OFF GPS Coordinates the camera will NOT attach the GPS Coordinates or the Driving Route Location with the video. So when you play your video on the GPS Player, you will NOT see any GPS tracker on Google/Baidu maps.

G-SENSOR
G-Sensor is a 3-axis impact gravitational accelerometer which is designed to detect physical and gravitational forces on the camera. While Video is Being Recorded: In the event when G-Sensor is triggered due to physical or gravitational impact force on the camera, the current loop cycle length of the video file will be locked so it will NOT be deleted by the loop cycle function.

Parking Mode: G-Sensor setting also impacts the Parking Mode feature based on your setting selection.

• 0 = OFF
• 1 = Low Impact Detection
• 5 = Medium Impact Detection (Default)
• 9 = High Impact Detection

CAUTION
In the event of an accident please make sure you retrieve your footage before using your camera again to prevent the loss of important video files due to the loop cycle function, in case the force was minor and did NOT trigger G-Sensor to lock the video file automatically. It is a best practice and recommended to you to retrieve all necessary video footage after any event of accident before using your camera to prevent the loss of vital video files.
