How to turn the R2-4K Dash Cam on or off
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.
MANUAL POWER ON/OFF
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
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 Hardwire your dash cam to your car’s fuse box with ROVE’S 3-Lead Auto Trigger Hardwire Kit.
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.
