WiFi Feature in Dash Cam
The in-built Wi-Fi feature connects your smartphone to the ROVE R2-4K dashcam. This feature works like Bluetooth operates on any other device; the only difference is that the dashcam uses wi-fi signals instead of Bluetooth. Connecting your smartphone to the dashcam through Wi-Fi lets you download all the recorded files directly to your phone from the ROVE app. You can share them with anyone you wish from the application via all common platforms like Facebook, Whatsapp, Gmail.
What is the Wi-fi feature in Dashcams?
The term 'Wi-fi' might remind you of the Wi-fi networks, which provide access to the internet. However, the wi-fi feature in dashboard cameras is entirely a different concept.
Rove's R2-4K dashcam model offers an in-built wi-fi feature. That enables the dashcam to pair with your smartphone wirelessly, without using the internet -- just like a BlueTooth device. The only difference is that the dashcam gets connected to the smartphone through a wi-fi signal instead of Bluetooth.
Similarly, as a regular house wi-fi network, the signal range capacity of a dashcam's wi-fi is about 10FT -- without any obstruction in the middle. The wi-fi feature will not be functional if the distance between the dashcam and smartphone exceeds 10FT.
Connecting R2-4K dashcam via wi-fi needs the Rove app to be installed on your smartphone. The Rove app is available for both Android and iOS.
Once connected, you can download the footage files directly to your smartphone using Rove's cloud application. The app acts as a storage point for all downloaded files, from where you can share them with anyone you wish -- via all common sharing platforms like Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter, etc.
Now, as you are familiar with the Wi-fi feature in dashcams, let's go into greater detail and check out how it works and benefits users.
How do I Benefit from the Wi-Fi feature in Dashcam?
The primary benefit of the Wi-fi feature is that it eliminates the need to remove the camera from your vehicle. Dashcams without this feature require you to manually remove the memory card and put it in a PC to access your footage. In contrast, dashcams with an in-built wi-fi feature allow you to accomplish the task remotely from your smartphone within minutes.
This immediate access is precious when it comes to driver's fault investigation. For instance, if you get involved in an incident, but it's not your fault, dash cams with Wi-fi enable you to instantly download and share footage evidence of the event with the law enforcement, proving yourself innocent on the spot.
