Son was in a traffic accident a week ago and seems like we see at least one a day around here. Due to this we decided to purchase cams for all of our vehicles. I Googled and found these cameras on all the Top 5 lists. So I decided to place the order and give them a chance. I don't have much experience with them but fortunately the nephew has a well-known brand name one that I can compare it to.The main thing I wanted to see in my comparisons was video quality. So I installed the cam and went for a ride. The first time was at night. From what I could tell its pretty close to one another. I couldn't compare apples to apples due to different weather conditions but was happy with the comparison.Next was the daytime comparison. I took several video clips from each and streamed to my TV. They both had a clean, crisp video. There is glare in the video but to be expected and was comparable to the more expensive unit. I will definitely be buying the lens filter for it.I wasn't there when my nephew's camera was installed but my brother-in-law said it was a bit challenging to get it up and running. I had zero issues with installing the unit and getting it fully operational. I think it took 5 minutes or less. I was a bit confused because when connected to camera's wifi you can't use your phone. I decided to read the manual and realized the phone doesnt have to be connected for it to record. You do wifi so you can tweak the camera or download videos/photos from camera. You can also adjust settings on the unit itself.In conclusion, I saved around $100 withthis unit and I feel the quality is just as good but ease of use is better. I also forgot to mention I have rear camera with this one where the other did not. I didn't include this in the review due not having installed it yet. I highly recommend this unit.

Excellent! Paid for itself 2 weeks after installation. Read through the instructions booklet, installed it ourselves. Took about 30 minutes to get it installed. Tip: plug the rear camera plug into the camera and run the wire to the back to the rear camera, we did it the opposite way and ended up with a lot of extra cord, we corrected it later.2 weeks after we installed the camera, i was leaving the Costco parking lot when someone backed into the passenger rear door of my car as i was passing by. When i got out to exchange information the first thing this guy says to me is “why were you driving so fast through the parking lot!” I told him i was not, i was driving parking lot speed. I told him i have dash cam, as i realized right then he was going to try to place blame on me. The video is crisp and clear, has audio, you could hear the moment of impact and it shows the speed i was traveling, 10mph, 8 mph when he hit me. When i got home my husband and i connected my phone to the camera WiFi, found the locked video upon impact, downloaded it to my phone and we were easily able to submit to insurance. This saved our bacon! Parking lot accidents usually carry 50/50 liability, but this dash cam provided a clear picture of what happened. Both my insurance and his found him 100% liable. His insurance company said that his story was very different from what the video showed, so I’m thankful the video has him accountable for the $8,000+ of damage to our car. This alone prompted us to purchase another camera for our rarely used second vehicle.

This review probably a little longer than I usually write. To start, I've had another dashcam hardwired in my car for 9 years (from BlackVue) and over the last few years their app has gone from being bad to outright nagging me to pay for premium cloud storage, so when it the front camera finally pooped (the video went all rainbow), so I decided I needed to replace it. A couple years ago in 2019 I was renting cars every other week on work trips, so I picked up a Rove R2 to use on rental cars and it was a good experience with it. This week I was looking at Amazon and I saw the Rove R2 Dual now had a two-camera version that was cheaper than the single camera I bought before!This camera I have to say from first impression is the front camera is better than the original R2 I have. The screen seems better, and the video is better too. I read elsewhere the sensor isn't actually 4K, so I'm using it as 2.5K front instead. For the memory card I'm using a 256GB SanDisk Max Endurance, which is built for dashcam use, that I bought and had been using for the last 3 years. I picked up the polarizer filter which is screw on option (instead of friction fitted like on many other dashcams), and it improved the daytime video removing all problems with glare from the dashboard.The rear camera quality unfortunately isn't as good as I would like but considering the value proposition of this camera compared the nearly 5X I paid for the BlackVue originally I can't complain. Yes, quality rear video is nice to have, but every instance I've needed the rear video I had to paired it with the front video to show it wasn't my fault. Usual issue is someone will accuse you or running the stop sign, failing to yield, backing up into them, etc. which you need the front video anyways. The rear video would then show they didn't stop, yield, signal, etc.; that's really the benefit of the rear camera for me.Installation, I installed this with the hardwire kit which I bought separately and will review separately, but the combo is excellent. I do like it came with a basic car trim pry too, which came in handy running the power and the rear camera wires. The included kit options of both suction cup and a permanent mount (I used the latter) is nice touch for me. In fact this lets me use the dash cam if I was driving a friend's car or a rental car (if I didn't already have the older R2 for this).Some negatives is mostly with the app and UI. I had a lot of good experiences with the app before, and it's still very good. I don't like that I'm now forced to create and sign into an account to use it. Seem unnecessary. Also I would like an option to disable the WiFi password from showing on the screen for the camera. My phone will remember the password, there's no reason it needs to show it for potentially to other folks in the vehicle.Overall I'm very happy with the value of this dash cam and I hope it will serve me well for years to come.
