The camera itself works well. I’ve got one in 3 of my vehicles. Unfortunately it’s a pain to get videos off the device over its built-in Wifi. I spent 20 minutes in the parking lot waiting for a video of part of my morning commute to download; it finally reached 0 seconds remaining, and immediately showed “download failed, try again later.”
Extremely frustrating.
The app requires you to give it access to your location. If you deny it permission then it doesn’t allow the dash cam to connect to the app, essentially rendering the app and any sort of wireless transfer capability by the user, un-usable. I value my privacy, and for forcing me to give you permission to my location in order to use something that has no business knowing my location, you get one star. If it weren’t for that one thing, you would have had a great review from me.
No question; without a doubt for even a second, this is the easiest product purchase you’ll ever make. It’s just
all-around perfection. Very simple app, easy to use, with key features. VERY CLEAR camera, wide enough angle, and seamless video transfer process. Really just an extraordinary job for both the app and the camera. Good job Anker!
It’s a great unit, I wish they had a software download for a live view when away from car. But let the unit keep recording. Plus a notification if something is trying to mess with your car. Plus It’s to bad they don’t have a rear camera that works off WiFi or a cord that goes back to main unit. It nice for the price, but for a few dollars more I have another unit with all the above that is missing from the unit
The dash cam and app has saved me several thousands of dollars from damage repair and car replacement. I bought a Roav dash cam a little over a year ago. The app has worked flawlessly since day one with little to no hiccups. I’ve had two car incidents since I bought the dash cam. Recently, my car was totaled, and the person who rear ended me placed the blame on me. I was able to download the footage from my dash cam to the app before the police arrived on scene. I was cleared from accusations and I didn’t pay a cent with insurance claims. I think I’m sold on Roav cameras for life, the app is dependable and reliable when you really need it at the last minute. Great job to the Roav team!
I’m a professional driver and for this app and the camera is an excellent device, easy to to use as well moving files and protecting them is easy. This camera for the fraction of the price of many other cameras, this camera is the most reliable.
Excellent quality picture, never worry whether the sensitivity caught an incident and just in case very easy to protect or get images recorded.
Roav DashCam is very reliable, but it is very hard to watch the video before downloading it.
I hope it can be fixed in the future to make easy to watch the video from the app without downloading it.
I have had several dash cams over the years , cheap ones and not so cheap ones, my last b4 this was a falcon . It was a nightmare. I inherited this one from my son when he got a new one. It works flawlessly . Great video , great interface . WiFi tethering . Reliable ( the others weren’t ) , for a budget dash can , they work great.
Last dash cam I had didn’t have an app & so if I wanted any recorded footage off of it I had to take the SD card out. Not only can I save video clips to my phone with this app but it also includes the location! Loving the app & dash cam! 😁
Clarity is good and the view is wide enough, I give it a star for each. The WiFi built into the camera is pretty useless unless you access the videos via data because you can’t connect to the WiFi on the camera and another WiFi simultaneously. If they had the forethought to make it Bluetooth instead so that I wouldn’t have to remove the card to view the videos then I would totally have given it 5 stars.
