Stays on the windshield pretty well. there have been a couple of really hot days that it came off but I expected more so I’m happy. The screen is a nice size. The app works well. I put a 256gn card in it today to hold more videos because my husband likes that it will randomly record while parked in our driveway(I set the parking sensitivity to high).
Even tho it’s for the front I might buy another for a rear camera.

So far so good in my 2021 Honda Insight, very easy to install and works really good through WiFi with my phone for videos. Tap into my Honda sense camera for power with a very clean look. Only bought it on sale to replace my VaVa.

Transferring the videos to the smart phone is flawless. This was a great investment for a great product. I really highly recommend it.

I purchased this dashcam because of the features...primarily wi-fi access, gps, and video quality. Wi-fi is convenient for reviewing video clips (it cannot record while viewing wi-if). I upgraded to a 128gb memory card and it works fine. I also like the suction cup mount for flexibility or switching to a different vehicle. The only problem I’ve had with that is it has fallen twice now (suction cup released) after being parked in the sun for extended periods of time...but the camera still functions well.

The setup is a breeze, and connection to the ROAV app is easy as well. Although transferring video via the app can be quite slow, I just pop the microSD card out and into my computer instead. Video quality is good.

Great camera for the money. I purchased one for my vehicle and another for my wife's. Installation took 10 minutes with the included plastic pry/wedge tool. The wire was easy to tuck up in the fascia at the headliner and around the door using the supplied tool. We've had the cameras for a couple months now. Other reviews will state the section cup doesnt work and the camera falls of the windshield-- here's the trick to keep that from happening. I live in florida and mounted the section cup to the windshield when it was cool outside. When the sun heated up the windshield throughout the day, it caused the suction cup to break free from the glass. I went out in the middle of the day when the windsheild was still hot and remounted it and it has been on there ever since. I believe the issue has to do with expansion and contraction of the windshield. Simple fix -- mount it when the windshield/temperatures are at their warmest.

I got this for safety purposes... and so far it has served me well. The quality of video in the day time looks great, although haven’t looked back at my night videos. I am giving it 4 stars because the suction cup sometimes detaches and the whole device falls off, given I also have the cable hanging since I haven’t had time to insert it into the car wedges inside. Otherwise, it was easy to install and the app works great while in range.

Camera was easy to install and like the video clarity. So far so good for it still working. Here in Norfolk VA the temperatures lately has been close to 100 during the day, the manual said to not the leave camera in direct sunlight high or heat. It’s a hassle taking it off then putting it back because of that setback. Other than that I like it.

Pop in the memory card and take a few minutes to do the easy quick setup and enjoy a personal witness. The kit comes with everything you need to install and hide the wires. Video quality is very good, I was able to see and capture plate number on a truck that I needed. The interface software and wireless connection is easy to setup and use, I was actually shocked.

I am very happy to have made this purchase. What I like about this product, other than the constant recording, is that it has a parking mode that it automatically goes into after the power to your car is shut off. The quality of the recordings are also very HD. It was easy to install and I have not had it fall off my window at all, even through the heat wave we went through a few weeks ago in Washington State. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking to buy a dash cam.

Best dashcam in the market

I used to rely on Garmin a bit, but they last 2 dashcams i owned, the dashcam 35 and the 45 kept showing me messages about their intolerance to heat and kept on crashing first 10 minutes in. Their Wifi communication with the mobile devices was fairly secure, only painfully slow, and lacked parking mode unless you buy a separate device. NOT with my new ROAV C2 Pro, NO. This dashcam does much more for a few more bucks, it’s tougher, faster, and does not require a separate device for parking mode. Love it

I’ll start with the bad to get it over with, the WIFI connection to get video off the camera and change settings sucks. When I can get it to work the transfer speed is 2mb/s or less, if you have one video you want to transfer or 2 not so bad, if you want to transfer all of the videos from your memory card this is painfully slow and if you upgrade the memory card you could be looking at hours to transfer the videos, especially since it is prone to disconnecting also. do yourself a favor and either swap out memory card or plug the camera in via USB.
Now to good part. the video quality is good, it does get muddy looking at night or once the sun starts going down but that is tough for a lot of cameras due to light condition constantly changing. I am still playing with the sensors for the collision detection either while driving or parked. I have it set to maximum detection right now and closing doors on my car will sometimes set it off and bumpy roads in areas I drive, or railroad crossings will set off the collision detection. Reviewing videos on my phone with the app is neat feature but difficult to use because of the poor quality of the Wi-Fi connection. The GPS feature is nice and could come in handy in the event I need a record of how fast I was going at a certain time as this information is stamped right onto the video (I had to turn on this feature it was not on out of the box.)
Overall, I would definitely recommend this camera to People looking for a simple dashcam for their vehicle.

I’m a commercial driver and need to make sure the truth is known when I face an incident. This unit does not wash out as bad as the old unit I had and better night lens does away with need for Infra red lights that usually only create a goofy ghosting from windshield. Also easy to connect WiFi on unit to my android no more pulling the micro sd card looking for adapter and downloading it! Plus gps is right in file

Great dashcam! I purchased this camera about 11 months ago and can say that it has been a great investment towards my vehicle and safety. I enjoy the ability to review my recordings in such a user friendly way by using my phone. Picture is great both in day and at night. I recommend it to anyone wanting to feel safe and confident on the road.

I very glad I bought this camera before a long road trip. It was the first time I had an incident. Flying road debris damaged the front bumper. The movie caught everything.
I like the transfer system to phone - the camera has a mini router, and you connect to it. The iPhone interface is, as expected, much easier to use than the physical buttons on the camera. (Nothing wrong with the buttons, just making the point that the software interface is great.)
It was easy to mount and hide the cable using the tool it came with. It only fell once from the windshield, while parked on a super hot day, I would not hold this against it though, I would not expect any suction cup to stay stuck forever.

Make sure you get the warranty, I've had this for almost a year and it has stopped recognizing the memory card. I've put in two additional cards and still nothing. I'll be returning and maybe try a new brand.
If you take a chance then I would like to point out that the videos were nice and clear. You can download the app to your vehicle and see everything on your phone.
Lastly, I would recommend but like all products I may have just bought a bad one.

ROAV Dashcam and App were very easy to install. The App provides quick access to the videos on your phone which is a feature that not all dashcams provide. Note this dashcam is front cam only and no rear cam.

Bad news: Instructions not complete, IMHO. Am still unsure how to sync the C2 Pro with our home network & cellphones to remotely view records. This is the only we reason didn't rate it 5 stars.
Good news: The unit was more than advertised, complete with a memory card for recording/playback. It installs simply and worked perfectly when powered up. The menu's not real user friendly, but even this senior citizen was able to make sense of it.
