Rove's R2-4K dash cam is an extra set of eyes on the road and $48 off at Amazon
Getting into a car accident, even a fender bender, is stressful on its own, but then comes the argument about who was at fault. A dash cam can give you reliable proof of what happened, and Rove's R2-4K is currently on sale for $71.99 ($48 off), an all-time low price at Amazon, and $89.99 ($30 off) from Rove. I tested a previous-generation Rove dash cam, and was happy with the quality of its recordings and ease of use. The R2-4K is a significant improvement, capturing higher-quality video and improving the process of getting it onto your phone. Rove R2-4K $ 72 $ 120 40 % off $ 72 Rove's R2-4K is a dash cam that can record 4K video, automatically create a clip if it detects an impact, and tag clips with information about your driving speed, location, the time, and date. Read More $72 at Amazon$90 at Rove The dash cam can record 4K video at 30 frames per second or 1080p at 60fps, and captures a 150-degree field of view, so you'll get a clear image of what happened in front of you and some of what happened directly to your right and left. Its recordings are tagged with the date, time, location, and your driving speed; they're stored on a microSD card, which you need to purchase separately. You can view video clips on the R2-4K's 2.4-inch display, or transfer them to your smartphone over Wi-Fi using Rove's app. The R2-4K comes with a suction mount and 3M sticky mount, both of which can be installed anywhere on your windshield. The suction mount is easier to move, so we recommend using it to find the dash cam's permanent place before you decide whether to switch to the sticky mount. The dash cam needs to be connected to its power adapter with a USB-C cable (two are included), so make sure to mount it in an area where the cable won't dangle and distract you. Under normal circumstances, the R2-4K will take a continuous time lapse recording and overwrite older footage once the microSD card is filled. However, you can push an 'Emergency Lock' button to preserve a specific clip. The dash cam's built-in G-Sensor will detect an impact and automatically lock that section of video. If the dash cam stops recording, it'll announce that so you can see what's wrong. Hopefully you'll never have to use Rove's R2-4K for anything important, but it's handy to have just in case.

'Captures everything I need': Amazon has this $80 4K dash cam on sale for just $51
If you buy something through a link in this article, we may earn commission. Pricing and availability are subject to change. Picture this: You're stopped at a red light when the car in front of you suddenly starts backing up. Before you can react — bam! — they hit you, then claim you rear-ended them. It's a classic insurance scam, and without proof, you could be stuck footing the bill. That's where a dash cam comes in. Right now, this one is just $51 — its lowest price ever — and it could save you hundreds down the road. Why is this a good deal? 💰 Simply put: At over 35% off, this is a no-brainer. If it doesn't pay for itself in preventing a pricey post-accident lawsuit, it'll earn its keep via the peace of mind you'll have knowing it's keeping an eye on things while you drive. And PS? This is just a few bucks shy of this its previous record low. Why do I need this? 🤔 Not all dash cams are created equal. This one can capture what's going on outside your car in 4K, which is important when you're trying to make out details like license plate numbers, especially when driving at night. Speaking of: The f/1.8 aperture lens allows it to capture a quality image even in low light. And because not all accidents happen in front of you, this comes with a rear camera as well. It captures a wide, 120-degree-angle field of view, so you're covered in both the front and rear. The camera automatically detects crashes, and locks and saves the footage just in case you can't. When it's time to check the record, simply go to the Viidure app, and you can download and share images and videos right from your phone. Once the camera's memory card is full, you can delete the images from the app or camera ... but if you forget, it'll keep recording in loop mode, so you'll stay protected. Next time an unscrupulous driver tries to make you responsible for his damage, or a very scrupulous driver (that would be you) wants to make sure the right person's blamed for the dings and dents to your ride, you'll have a clear, crisp video record. (Amazon) What reviewers say 💬 Over 700 shoppers have given this dash cam a five-star rating. Pros 👍 "I've been using this dash cam for a few weeks now, and I'm really impressed," raved one motorist. "The video quality is excellent, both during the day and at night. Setup was super easy, and the instructions were clear. It starts recording automatically when I start my car, which is really convenient. I also love the compact design — it doesn't block my view while driving." Echoed this happy customer, "The image is so clear and high quality and connects to Wi-Fi wonderfully. The application and installation is easy and user-friendly and includes a step-by-step manual." Stressed about the suction cup not working? Worry not, says this Lone Star State-r: "Even in the incredible heat of East Texas and Southern Texas, whether with a reflecting sun screen behind it (normal suction cups with any weight at all pulling on them fail quickly and irrevocably), but surprisingly and amazingly, this has survived a week-plus of upper 90s to low 100s." Cons 👎 The "blinking blue light when driving at night gets to me," quibbled one four-star driver, "so I put a piece of tape over it," Another buyer cautioned that, if your 12V power outlet is a bit out of reach, "[You] might have to purchase a separate cord depending on the car," they said.
