INSTALLATION
MOUNT
To install the Adhesive Windshield Mount, slide the dash cam onto the mount.
Remove protective film from camera lens and display. Find the spot on your
windshield where you would like to mount the camera and confirm the placement.
Reminder, this is an adhesive mount, so it is important to mount correctly the
first time. Next, peel the plastic film off the 3M adhesive and press the
mount FIRMLY onto the windshield.
For a View of the Road Behind You For a View of the Road Behind You Connect Extension Cable to the Video Input Port on the Dash Cam and run the cable along the floor of your car. Connect the Extension Cable to the Rear Camera and attach to the vehicle’s back window. Please orient the rear camera so it faces out the windshield as shown here.
POWER
Plug one end of the supplied 12V Vehicle Power Adapter into your vehicle’s
cigarette lighter, and the other end into the micro USB port. The unit will
automatically turn on and start recording. To manually power on the device
PRESS AND HOLD the Power button until the display activates.
Note : A Hardwire Kit is available at www.cobra.com for a more permanent installation that allows for discrete routing of the power cable and recording while your vehicle is off.
DRIVE!
Your dashcam is designed for easy operation. After powering the camera will
instantly begin loop recording. When the MicroSD Card is full the oldest
footage will be deleted to make way for the new. If you witness something that
you do not want deleted simply press the Emergency Record button and it will

is moved into the locked content partition.
EMERGENCY RECORDINGS:
An Emergency Recording is triggered when the Emergency Record/Favorites Button
is pressed or when the G-Sensor registers a significant impact (hard braking
or collision). Emergency Recordings create locked files that are not
overwritten by Continuous Loop Recording. To ensure that important footage is
not lost surrounding an incident, the prior video clip is locked if the
incident happens within 30 seconds of the beginning or end of a clip.
THE MICRO SD MEMORY CARD
The device comes with a Micro SD memory card. To remove the SD card, press
firmly on the SD card to push it further into the slot. There will be a click
and the SD card will pop out on release. Extract the card and replace as
necessary by inserting a card into the slot and pressing until it locks in
place. This camera is compatible with Micro SD cards up to 256GB. Please be
sure to format the card in-camera before use. Class 10 high-endurance cards
from reputable brands are recommended for constant video recording of a dash
camera.

SAFETY FEATURES
The SC Series Dash Cams come with several safety features designed to protect you and your vehicle. You can adjust the level of protection that fits you via Camera and Drive Smarter App settings.
G-Sensor Impact Detection:
Your Dash Cam includes a built in G-Sensor which allows the device to
determine when the car has been in a collision. If it detects a collision, it
automatically locks the recording being made at the time of the accident.
Additionally, if the event occurs within 30 seconds of the start or end of a
clip, the adjacent recording will also be locked so you always have at least
30 seconds saved from before and after the event. You can use this setting to
set the sensitivity of the G-Sensor from 1-3 or turn it off. Level 1 is the
easiest to activate the G-sensor. Level 3 will only lock videos when the most
severe impacts are detected. Locked videos created as a result of a G-sensor
impact detection are stored in the Events folder on the SD card.
Parking Mode & Motion Detection:
Parking Mode uses the Motion Sensor and G-Sensor to monitor while your vehicle
is parked. The idea is that when you are parked, the dash cam will be
“sleeping”, but it will monitor surroundings for motion along with G-Sensor
impacts. If it detects motion or if it detects an impact, then the unit will
wake up and start recording. The camera will enter parking mode after 5
minutes. If there is no motion is during this period, the display will turn
off and the recording will stop (the camera monitors for g-sensor impacts or
motion). If motion is detected or if a G-sensor impact above Level 1 is
triggered, the unit will wake up and start saving 1 minute clips for as long
as activity is being detected.
Notes:
- Parking Mode only works properly if the dash cam is powered. Either the Cigarette Lighter Socket must remain on with the ignition off, or the dash cam must be hardwired to a constant power source (please check www.cobra.com for available accessories).
- If you park where there is lots of activity which keeps triggering the motion sensor, then the unit might never time out and enter the sleep state. For this you can use the “Auto Surveillance Shutoff” setting to prevent unnecessary recording. If leaving your vehicle off for more than 48 hours (or less if your battery is old) please use the “Auto Surveillance Shutoff” setting to set a time-limit on Parking Mode and prevent your battery from being drained.
- You can choose to have your camera monitor for impacts and/or motion by controlling the ‘Parking Mode’ and ‘Motion Detection’ settings separately.
Lane Departure Warning
The Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) provides audible and visual warnings as you approach a lane boundary. It will indicate whether you are departing the lane to the left or to the right. Note that this feature relies solely on analyzing video of the road ahead and, therefore, works best on clearly marked roads with good visibility. This feature is for informational purposes only. See the Trademark Acknowledgement, Warnings, and Regulatory Information section below for the full legal disclaimer for using this feature.
Forward Collision Warning
The Frontal Collision Warning System (FCWS) provides audible and visual warnings if you are quickly approaching an obstacle in the road ahead. Note that this feature relies solely on analyzing video of the road ahead and therefore works best with good visibility. This feature is for information purposes only. See the Trademark Acknowledgement, Warnings, and Regulatory Information section below for the full legal disclaimer for using this feature.
Speed Alert
The Speed Alert system uses the GPS included in your camera to monitor your speed. In the ADAS Settings menu, you can set a speed limit for yourself. If the camera detects that you are driving faster than your pre-set speed limit, it will alert you with an audible tone and by flashing the alert on the camera display.
GENERAL SETTINGS
Video Resolution:
Allows you to select the desired video resolution for loop recordings and
emergency videos. Lower resolution settings result in smaller file sizes,
which results in more space on the SD card.

around the vehicle when parked. This setting screen allows you to choose which
of the available cameras should be used 14 | P a g to monitor for activity.
If leaving your vehicle off for more than 48 hours (or less if your battery is
old) please use the “Auto Surveillance Shutoff” setting to set a time-limit on
Motion Detection and prevent your battery from being drained. Note : For
Motion Detection to work the camera needs to be connected via hardwire kit
(part: CA-MICROUSB-001) or be plugged into an ‘always on’ Cigarette Lighter
Socket. You can check if your vehicle has an ‘always on’ CLA adapter online or
in the vehicle’s owner’s manual.
Parking Mode:
Enabling Parking Mode allows your camera to monitor for changes in its
internal G- Sensor/accelerometer. Bumps, Collisions, and break-ins can trigger
the G-Sensor to save valuable footage from the moment of impact. If leaving
your vehicle off for more than 48 hours (or less if your battery is old)
please use the “Auto Surveillance Shutoff” setting to set a time-limit on
Motion Detection and prevent your battery from being drained. Note : For
Parking Mode to work the camera needs to be connected via hardwire kit (part:
CA-MICROUSB-001) or be plugged into an ‘always on’ Cigarette Lighter Socket.
You can check if your vehicle has an ‘always on’ CLA adapter online or in the
vehicle’s owner’s manual.
Surveillance Auto Shutoff:
If leaving your vehicle off for more than 48 hours (or less if your battery is
old) please use the “Auto Surveillance Shutoff” setting to set a time-limit on
Motion Detection and Parking Mode to prevent your battery from being drained.
G-Sensor:
You can use this setting to set the sensitivity of the G-Sensor from 1-3 or
turn it off. Level 1 is the easiest to activate the G-sensor. Level 3 is the
setting which will only lock videos when the most severe impacts are detected.
Level 1 is recommended for most users.

The interior camera’s infrared LEDs allow for clear recording at night. You
can set this to be always on, off, or select Auto to allow the camera to
detect low-light conditions and automatically enable Interior Night Vision
recording.
Language:
This setting allows you to pick the on-screen language for the camera unit.
Driver Assistance (ADAS):
ADAS features allow you to receive warnings when you are in danger of
colliding with an object in front of you (Forward Collision Warning), drifting
out of your lane (Lane Departure Warning), and Speeding beyond a limit you can
pre-set for yourself (Speed Alert). You can toggle each of these alerts on/off

FAQ
-
Where do I mount/position my Dash Camera on the windshield?
Power on your dash cam so you can see the camera’s view while mounting. We recommend centering your camera and mounting under the rear-view mirror.
If your unit has a display, you can use the Camera’s “Calibrate” feature found in the ADAS menu to line up your view. SC100 users can use the Drive Smarter app to get a live-view of what the camera is seeing to help with mounting. -
What is the largest MicroSD card size I can use in my camera?
We recommend using a Class 10 Micro SD card from a reputable vendor up to the following sizes.
Model | SC100 | SC201 | SC200 |
---|---|---|---|
Max SD Card Size | 128GB | 256GB | 256GB |
-
Why is my unit not powering up?
Please ensure your unit is properly connected. If you have turned the unit off, press and hold the power button to turn on again. If you are using Parking Mode and Motion Detection Mode with a hardwire kit, the unit might not “wake up” when you enter. Simply begin driving and when your unit detects this it will wake up and begin recording. -
Why do recordings of the cabin/vehicle’s interior appear black and white?
This is normal operation of the Infrared LED night-vision camera. Infrared recording allows the camera to accurately record your vehicle’s cabin in low- light conditions. You can turn Infrared recordings off in the settings menu. -
How do I use Parking Mode and Motion Detection?
Parking Mode and Motion Detection can be turned on in the camera’s settings. These two features will monitor your vehicle automatically when the unit is connected directly to the car’s vehicle via hardwire kit (check for availability at www.cobra.com).
Note : When the car is parked your unit will go into a low-power “standby”/sleeping state where it monitors for activity. The unit will automatically wake up when it detects significant motion or driving. -
Why is my unit not getting a GPS Lock (GPS icon is red)?
The GPS inside the device locks in with the satellite best when you are on the road. You may not be able to get a GPS lock while in your garage, parking structures, or if testing the camera in your home.
