TURNING ON/OFF YOUR CAMERA
AUTO POWER ON/OFF
Auto Power ON: ROVE Stealth 4K Dash Cam is designed to
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.
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
MANUAL POWER ON/OFF
NOTE: 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.
To Remedy this situation, you can do one of the two option.
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.
Hard Wire the dash cam to car’s fuse box with a connector that only
provides power when your car’s key is turn to ACC or ON position.

BATTERY INFORMATION
This product contains Lithium-Ion inbuilt battery. With a full
charge battery should last upto 2-5 minutes. Internal battery is
NOT meant to last long time. The higher the video resolution you
choose the more power it will consume, hence it will last short
duration, and the lower video resolution you choose the less
power it will consume, hence it will last longer. The purpose of
in-built battery is to save the last video file safely without any
data loss and turn off the camera when power gets disconnected.
Following are approximate internal battery lasting time when it is
fully charged. e.g. when you turn off your car. Another purpose
is parking mode. When your car vibrates by impact and vibration
activates G-Sensor setting range then camera will turn on and
start recording on battery for 1-minute, lock video file and then
auto turn off automatically.
If you leave your car for long time we advise that you
remove the camera from the car because of the temperature

UNDERSTANDING PARKING MODE
How To Test This
Parking mode works as follows. Let's say you went shopping and
parked your car in the parking lot. Then someone hits your car
while backing up their car, then the impact caused by hitting your
car makes your camera vibrate, which then activates the built-in
G-sensor and then parking mode, which then turns ON your
camera automatically and starts recording for 1-min, then it locks
and saves that video file so it does NOT get deleted by the loop
cycle function, then the camera turns OFF automatically. Now
when you come back from shopping and see that your car has
been hit, you should check the saved videos on your camera to
see if parking mode got activated. Please note that you should
keep parking mode feature turned OFF while exploring the other
features of the camera in your hand, otherwise every time it
detects movement, it will turn the camera ON for 1-min and then
turn OFF (Which some customers think that camera is random
turns ON/OFF and is defective). So only turn ON this feature
after you install the camera on your car's windshield unless you
like to test this feature as described below.
To test this feature, turn ON parking mode & set it to LOW /
Medium Impact Detection. Now turn OFF the camera by pressing
and holding the power button for 2 seconds. Then Shake the
camera in your hands, this will turn ON camera for 1-min and
then turns OFF after 1-min.
34
USER MANUAL
UNDERSTANDING MOTION DETECTION
Well, it does NOT work like the native Infrared LED motion
sensing light or other devices would work. (i.e. Home's
Driveway Lights)
Motion Detection in DASH CAMs will work based on the
Light Capture Algorithm Change in the camera via back end
processing. So basically, the camera will stay ON all the time
in the stand by mode detecting if there is any motion (light
capture change) in front of the camera?
Now as soon as someone at close range proximity to the
Motion detection feature is made for people who want to create
surveillance around their car when the car is NOT driving,
during the night or when they are not in their car so the camera
can record every time if there is a motion in front of the camera.
FYI
99% of our customers do NOT use this feature. This is an add ON
feature and most customers will simply leave this feature turned OFF.
Caution
How does Motion Detection work in Dash Cams?
Motion detection is NOT meant to be turned ON when you are
driving or when the car or the camera is moving. Otherwise, you
will have missing video seconds. Please note that when you are
on the road and driving, you would want the continuous video
recording so you can have all the video proof you need without
even missing a single second.
35
What you will need if you prefer to use this feature?
What should you konw before using this feature?
camera starts to move, which makes the light captured by the
camera to change (hence, the camera notices that something in
front of it is moving) which will trigger the camera to START
recording automatically.
Now, the camera will continue to record until there is NO
more motion in front of the camera. Then it will STOP record-
ing and stay in stand by mode (idle mode) until the next
motion detection event occurs and triggers the camera.
ANSWER: Hard-Wiring your dash cam to car's fuse box to
always hot/continuous power supply.
NOTE: In order to use the motion detection, the camera must stay
in stand by mode, and for the camera to be in stand by mode, it
requires a continuous power supply.
Therefore, you will need to HARD WIRE your dash cam to your
car's battery via car's fuse box to always HOT socket which
provides continuous power even when car's key is turned
OFF/LOCK position.
The camera will NOT turn ON/OFF automatically if you
Hard-Wire your dash cam to always hot/continuous power
supply. You will have to manually turn ON/OFF your camera.

You can choose the video encoding you like. H.265 is more

that HEVC allows for further reduced file size.
Because of the circular wide-angle lens of the dash cameras
to capture the details on wide side, some distortion in the
image is created. It is widely known as the fish eye lens
effect. This feature allows the camera to digitally correct the
distortion of the images by applying the distortion correction
algorithm.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) improves the exposure by
taking the combinations of over exposed and under exposed
image into one robust wide range of lighting with higher
depth image.
