- UPSCALED 4K FRONT + 1080P REAR DUAL DASH CAM: The ROVE R2-4K DUAL records the road ahead and behind at the same time. The front camera captures at 2.5K (QHD) and intelligently upscales to 4K (2160P) for higher-detail playback, while the rear camera records at Full HD 1080P. This is upscaled 4K, not native 4K, engineered to show sharper everyday detail than standard 1080P dash cams, so you can read license plates, signs, and surroundings in front and rear footage.
- SONY STARVIS 2 IMX675 SENSOR + SUPER NIGHT VISION: The front camera uses a Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 5MP image sensor with a wide F1.5 aperture (F1.8 rear) and HDR to pull in more light for clearer low-light footage. This advanced sensor enhances nighttime clarity, helping capture license plates, road signs, and surrounding vehicles with greater reliability when driving after dark, through tunnels, or in dusk and dawn conditions.

- CAR CAMERA WITH GPS: The new front and rear dashcam comes with built-in GPS, which enables you to view real-time live speed and compass on the 3” IPS wide camera screen. It records precise driving routes, locations, and speed stamps directly on the video so you can watch dashcam videos with GPS data using ROVE's free GPS Player on your PC or Mac & get additional evidence when you need it.

HBF’s closure notice also described restrictions and detours affecting parts of St Georges Terrace and Adelaide Terrace westbound, Riverside Drive and Wellington Street. The exact restriction depends on the street, direction and time; check the official map rather than assuming every section was closed for the same period. The event began at the corner of Hay Street and William Street and finished at Gloucester Park, according to HBF’s event information.
Driving around the CBD and freeway detours
Getting out of the CBD
HBF said some sections of St Georges Terrace and Adelaide Terrace westbound, Riverside Drive and Wellington Street remained open with detours. Its guidance named Wellington Street northbound as the quickest route out of the CBD. Treat this as HBF’s event-day advice, not a route recommendation for current traffic.
