Make sure to always keep the camera plugged into the power
during its operation as ROVE R2-4K Pro uses Supercapacitor
(NOT an internal battery). You can plug the camera into your

your cellphone’s USB charger and included USB Type-C Cable.
Just make sure that the USB charger has a 5V, 1.5 AMP
power output (Max 3.1 AMP), otherwise, the camera will not
work properly.
You will need to insert a memory card before you can start
recording. Please insert only a brand name Class-10, U3, or
higher speed Micro-SD card up to 512 GB max for reliable
operation. (Memory card is NOT included in the packaging)
(We recommend ROVE Ultimate Micro-SD Card up to 512 GB MAX.)
Before first time use, you MUST format the memory card in
the camera to prevent any errors and for smooth operation.

TURNING YOUR CAMERA ON/OFF
AUTO POWER ON/OFF
Auto Power ON: ROVE R2-4K PRO 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.
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 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 the socket which
only supplies power when the car key is turned to ACC or ON position.
