Camera Tips

  • The Dash Cam features continuous loop recording – which deletes your oldest videos to make space for new recordings. Save your favorite clips from being overwritten by pressing the Lock/Emergency Recording Button or by using the “Lock Video” voice command.
  • If you need to format the SD card, please do so in the camera itself within the settings menu. Do not format the SD card on your PC.
  • The Dash Camera may occasionally prompt you to format your SD card. This is done to ensure smooth Dash Camera operation, but will delete your saved footage. You can download and save your favorite clips using the Drive Smarter App or by connecting the camera to your PC.
    If upgrading your SD card, please visit Cobra.com for a list of compatible cards.
