TURNING ON/OFF YOUR CAMERA
ABOUT SUPER CAPACITOR INFORMATION
AUTO POWER ON/OFF
Super Capacitor is used to generate electricity. Power of R1 Dash Cam is delivered
by a Super Capacitor which is a premium alternative to a lithium-ion battery. This
features an enhanced temperature resistance to hot and cold climates.
Auto Power ON: ROVE R1 Dash Cam is designed to turn ON and start recording
autometically 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 automati-
cally 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 seconds
A capacitor uses conductive plates with an insulating barrier (dielectric) in
between them. The dielectric stops the electrical current entering the capacitor
and this builds up a charge which is stored between the plates.
It charges faster than a battery. The amount of charge a capacitor can hold
depends upon its capacitance or the charge storage capacity.
ROVE R1’s Super Capacitor will hold the charge for about 2 seconds.
MANUAL POWER ON/OFF
How it works?
ROVE R1 dash cam uses a super capacitor which makes it a unique reliable
dash cam on power consumption and safety. Capacitors are more reliable due to
the fact that they are way more resistant to heat unlike batteries; they don’t pose
the risk of overheating and exploding. Super Capacitors extend the overall
product life span and it is built to last.
Why Super Capacitor?
NOTE: If your car’s 12V Outlet is always HOT even when your car is key is locked,
then this auto power on/off feature will not work. To remedy this situation please
contact us.

While Video is Being Recorded: In the event when G-Sensor is triggered due to
physical or gravitational impact force on the camera, the current Loop cycle length of
video file will be locked so it will NOT be deleted by Loop cycle function.
CAUTION: In the event of an accident please make sure you retrieve your footage
before using your camera again to prevent the loss of important Video file due to the
loop cycle function, in case the force was minor which did NOT trigger G-Sensor to

To use this feature, you will need to HARD-WIRE your dash cam with your car’s fuse
box, and connect it to to the socket that provides continuous power even when your
car is turned OFF & LOCKED. A separate purchase of “Mini-USB Hard Wire Kit with
Battery Voltage Meter” is required. You can purchase this from Amazon for about
$10-$15.
By hard wiring your dash cam to always hot power connection, your camera will NO
longer turn on and start recording & off automatically as before. Because now the
camera will always have power supply so this auto turn on/off feature will not work.
You will need to turn ON/OFF camera manually by utilizing the power button.
When you prefer to turn ON Motion Detection: Make sure you are not driving and
parked. Then make sure “Auto Power On/Off& Screen Saver” feature under the
system settings is set to OFF. It is also recommended to keep “LCD ON/OFF
Setting” set to 1-min” so your camera’s LCD will stay off during motion detection to
conserve car’s battery. Now go to video settings and turn ON motion detection.
Please note that camera will stay on the whole time and it will only record when
motion is detected in front of the camera in close proximity, and it will stop recording
automatically when there is no more.
IMPORTANT: Now before you start driving again, please make sure to turn OFF the
motion detection first, then Press OK button to START recording video, so you will
have continuous video recording while you are on the road.
Then repeat the step #4 and step #5 as you want to utilize the motion detection.
