Overview
A fuse-box hardwire kit built for Rove's USB-C dash cams, letting the R2-4K, R2-4K PRO, R2-4K DUAL, DUAL PRO and R3 run 24-hour parking monitoring without a cigarette-lighter cable in the way.
This is a wiring accessory, not a stand-alone camera, so it only matters if you already own one of the listed Rove models with a USB-C port. It swaps the loose 12V charger for a fuse-tap connection with a low-voltage cutoff, which is what makes true 24/7 parking recording possible without draining the car battery.
- Built for rove r2-4k (usb-c), r2-4k pro, dual, dual pro and r3
- Enables 24-hour parking monitor mode
- Fuse-box install kit with volt meter included
- Low voltage protection guards the battery
Who it's for
Owners of a compatible Rove dash cam who want parking mode running around the clock and prefer wiring hidden behind the dash rather than a cable looping down to the lighter socket. Not useful without a matching camera.

Performance notes
The kit taps into the vehicle's fuse box to deliver constant low-voltage power to the camera, with a built-in low-voltage protection circuit that cuts power before it drains the car's starter battery. Fuse taps, a volt meter, and printed and video install guides are included so the wiring can be routed and tested without guesswork.
