USER MANUAL
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 few seconds when the power gets
disconnected, i.e. when the car key is turned to LOCK position.
To manually turn ON: Press the power button once.
To manually turn OFF: Press and hold the power button for at
least 2-3 seconds
MANUAL POWER ON/OFF
Some trucks/car’s 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 option.
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 socket which
only supplies power when car key is turned to ACC or ON position.
