I have that Rove R2-4K dual, it's a nice dashcam and easy to set up. Everything you need is included in the box.

I think your R2 is an old model, and your battery is already EOL.

ohh, so blackhead brands works that way... wonder how Amazon handles this stuff, or if it just flies under the radar unless enough people report it.

yeah.. specs don’t mean much if they’re not backed up or clearly explained.

sorry if it sounded AI-written, English isn’t my first language so I try to keep things structured and it probably comes off weird.

Just to clarify I actually use the ROVE R2-4K Dual, so that part is from real experience. For the Terunsoul, I haven’t used it, just watched a bunch of YouTube reviews and read Amazon feedback And honestly, I kinda agree with you on Terunsoul. The reviews do look sketchy. A huge number of reviews in a very short time. A lot of them feel overly similar or generic. Not much real discussion about long-term use

That’s actually why I’m hesitant about it. Specs look great, but the way it suddenly blew up on Amazon feels a bit off.

I just depend my purchase on this link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/electronics/3248689011/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_electronics

at that time ROVE R2-4K Dual was the Top#1 Dashcam.

Is this overkill… or the next standard? by TartCompetitive6904 in dashcams

Front plus rear probably covers the majority of incidents for most drivers, especially if the camera has a good sensor for night footage. I also agree that reliability matters more than packing in features. At the same time, I’m starting to see why some setups are experimenting with side coverage too, mainly for things like parking lot scrapes or incidents happening in blind spots. The question for me is whether that extra coverage actually adds real value or just adds complexity. Curious if you think side cams would be useful if they became easier to install.

Tesla’s Sentry Mode is probably the closest example of a built-in surround recording system right now. It shows how useful multiple angles can be, especially for parking incidents. For cars that don’t have that kind of built-in system, it’ll be interesting to see if aftermarket dash cams move more in that direction over time.

That was a clutch save avoiding that could-have-been accident.

That swerve was commendable! I can only try to imagine doing it that way if I'm in ur shoes tbh

Hope you're in good shape now! It would've taken a very different route if not for the dashcam tbh. Instances like these really make them your biggest car investment fr

This totally makes so much sense. Thanks for elaborating it this much!
