Tinted rows are where these two differ. A ● marks a figure we computed rather than one the maker published.
The practical difference
The mainstream 4K two-channel install, where the front camera has to read plates and the rear has to hold up in court. By contrast, the Rove R2-4K Dual Pro: rove's value formula without the upscaling asterisk.
On heat, the Viofo A229 Pro 2CH is a supercapacitor camera rated -4°F to 149°F, and the Rove R2-4K Dual Pro is a supercapacitor camera with no published temperature range.
