ROVE R2-4K DUAL Dashcam Boasts Sony STARVIS 2 Sensor, Captures Both Front / Rear Footage for $99.99

Dashcams have become a must have for drivers who want to capture everything on the road, whether for safety, evidence or just peace of mind. With so many options out there, the ROVE R2-4K DUAL Dashcam Front and Rear, with a STARVIS 2 sensor, is a great choice, especially at $99.99, down from $199.99.

Video quality is the heart of any dash cam and the ROVE R2-4K DUAL delivers with a front camera that records 3840x2160P (4K) at 30fps and a rear camera that records 1920x1080P (Full HD) at 30fps. The front camera uses a Sony IMX675 STARVIS 2 sensor which is great at producing sharp and vibrant footage. During the day you’ll get crisp details – license plates are legible and road signs pop. The sensor shines in low light conditions where the F1.5 aperture on the front camera and F1.8 on the rear pull in enough light to keep recordings clear even on dark streets. Some reviews note that night performance relies heavily on external lighting like streetlights but the footage is usable for identifying key details in most scenarios. The 150-degree front and 140-degree rear fields of view means you’ll capture a wide angle of the road, reducing blind spots and giving you a fuller picture of what’s around you.

Setting up a dashcam can be intimidating but the ROVE makes it easy. The front camera attaches to your windshield with a suction or adhesive mount and the rear camera sticks to your back window. One cable connects the two and most users can have it up and running in under 30 minutes. The package includes everything you need: 128GB microSD card, USB car charger, USB-C power cable, rear camera extension cable, cable clips and even a tool to tuck wires into your car’s trim. The 3-inch IPS display on the front camera shows a live feed so you can adjust angles on the fly and the interface is simple enough to navigate without a manual.

Beyond video the ROVE R2-4K DUAL has features that make it more than just a camera. Built-in GPS logs your speed, route and location and embeds this data into your videos. This can be a lifesaver for proving where an incident happened or how fast you were going, viewable later on ROVE’s free GPS Player for PC or Mac. The dash cam has a G-sensor for collision detection, automatically locking footage during sudden impacts to prevent overwriting. Loop recording ensures continuous capture by replacing old files when the card fills up and a supercapacitor (instead of a battery) keeps the system reliable in extreme temperatures from -4°F to 158°F. For parked cars the 24-hour parking mode has three options – timelapse, motion detection or collision detection – but requires a separate hardwire kit.

One of the best features is the dual-band 5G and 2.4G Wi-Fi, so you can connect the dash cam to your phone via the ROVE app. You can view live footage, download videos up to 20MB/s and share clips to social media or your insurance company. The app also does over-the-air firmware updates so the camera stays current with no hassle. This is modern and user friendly especially if you don’t want to plug the microSD card into a computer.

At $99.99 down from $199.99 the ROVE R2-4K DUAL is a steal. The 128GB microSD card alone is worth $20 and the dual camera setup is cheaper than many of the competition like the Viofo A229 Plus ($249) or A229 Pro ($359) which have better clarity but at a higher price. Recent deals have seen this dash cam as low as $89.99 with coupons but even at $99.99 it’s a great deal for a feature packed system. The combination of good video quality, GPS, Wi-Fi and full accessory kit makes it a great entry level option for drivers who want reliable coverage without breaking the bank.
