Review: Just get it. Great in every way. Works flawlessly in 2017
Honda Pilot. - Super happy with this product. Everything in the
packaging felt premium. The instructions were well written, easy
to follow, extremely detailed, and even the booklet felt high
quality. The marketing on the box felt a little cheap, like lots
of images and looks typical of cheap Chinese imitation garbage,
but this apparently isn't that. I bought this to put in a 2017
Honda Pilot, replacing my 7 year old ROAV camera. This did not
disappoint. Installation was breeze. I opted to use the optional
ROVE hardwire kit (additional $30) to hard wire into my fuse box
via the include fuse taps. I thought it would be more complicated
but the instructions and the included fuse adapters cover 4
standard types of fuses used in most cars sold in America. The
included fuse puller was essential to remove the fuses and the
little tester was also essential. It had everything i need to get
the job done. I highly suggest using ChatGPT to ask it to detail
out a list of all your fuses, positions, labels, and whether or
not the fuse it ACC or constant power. It returned and instant
result, saving me hours of frustrating searching. For the 2017
Honda Pilot, there are 2 fuse boxes by the drivers feet, the
larger box A with 42 fuses and the smaller box B with 7 fuses,
A-G. For the Accessory power (yellow), i used the unused fuse
slot 12 in Box A, and for the constant power, i used the 10A slot
F fuse in the smaller fuse box B. Make sure to measure which side
of the fuse slot is hot. I attached the ground wire to the bolt
the emergency brake frame screws into the chassis with. After I
got it all wired up, everything was erring out on my car's dash
panel. Simply unplugging the ground from the battery for 15
minutes resets all the computer stuff in the car and everything
work perfectly. For wire routing, I stuffed the cord across the
headliner and down the driver side front pillar. I mounted the
wiring harness box on the frame with the included adhesive behind
the hood release plastic cover. Everything is super hidden and
protected. The rear camera cable I was able to route along the
headliner back to the driver side back door, then fishtape back
to center of the back window, through the rubber wire protectors
and along the top to the rear window. Also don't make the mistake
I did and not read the instructions to use the clear films to put
on the window before mounting the camera with the adhesives. This
will help you if you ever need to remove the camera. But don't
use the film on the dotted part of your windshield by your
rear-view mirror. The dash cam works flawlessly. What an
improvement from my last one! The Rove App is intuitive,
responsive, connected the first time. Viewing the videos within
the app was quick and downloading them to my iphone 14 was pretty
fast via the 5G wifi connection. It's one click and about 10
seconds and the 1-minute video clips show up in my Photos app.
The video quality is quite impressive as well. The front uses the
STARVIS 2 IMX678 (true 4k, 3840x2160, 8.4MP, and better dynamic
range) and the rear uses the STARVIS 2 IMX675 which is not 4K,
really only 2K, 2616x1960, 5.12 MP. The front camera is a true 4K
and the rear is 2K. The previous Rove R2-4K DUAL.... NON-PRO
version is not a real 4K video, since it uses the IMX675 for the
front. Don't waste you time on that camera. Just get this camera
instead, it's worth the money, you might need to see that license
plate in some incident, not worth it getting the cheaper one.
I've already ordered a 2nd one for my other car. Everybody should
have a dash cam these days. Too many liars and bad drivers out
there. Also of note, I've emailed customer support several time
when deciding on a purchase the they have been incredibly
responsive, within hours not days. In some cases it was less than
an hour. Also it seems they are US-based with is so helpful not
having a communication issue. Having a company like this feels
weird nowadays. I've accepted the fact that everything is made
overseas these days, but customer service doesn't have to be and
Rove has delivered in this regard. I've only had it for less than
a week and am super impressed with the image quality of the front
camera, both during day and night, easily seeing license plates
both during the day and night time. I appreciate the free 128GB
SD card included, however with 2 cameras, one of which is 4K,
that doesn't give a ton of looped footage. So I expect to need to
upgrade to a higher capacity. If you want that, go ahead and
order a larger one now. Will update this review as time
progresses to see how well it holds up. So far, 5 stars in every
way!
Review: Great camera - This is the second camera that I bought in
2025. This time, I stepped up to the Pro version. As usual, the
camera arrived well-packaged in a sturdy box. Setup through the
app was very straightforward, and the video quality looks great
both day and night, especially with rear camera 2K. The price is
also quite reasonable. Just like the other one, I really like the
included cable clips — they made it easy to secure the power
cable neatly to my car's camera cover trim. The rear camera fits
tightly in the housing which is a big improvement from the based
model. Similar to the based model, there are a few areas that
could use improvement: - Voice Activation: It would be nice to
have voice control features like Garmin’s — for example, the
ability to start/stop voice recording or save a clip hands-free.
- Lens filter doesn't seem to work well at night so I just leave
it out. - No option to upload video to a cloud storage
Installation was quite simple. Running the cable to the rear
camera took a bit of effort, especially threading it through the
liftgate’s cable protector due to the USB-C connector’s size and
angle. You have to be very careful while fishing the power cable
thru the liftgate wire rubber boot to avoid damaging your car
electric cables. Overall, it's a great budget friendly camera
which does what it's supposed to do.
