Camera Tips
- Your dash cam features continuous loop recording, which deletes your oldest videos on the included SD card to make space for new recordings. Save your favorite clips from being overwritten by pressing the Action Button.
- 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 cam may occasionally prompt you to format your SD card. This is done to ensure continuous recording operation, but this action will delete your saved footage. Before formatting, download and save your favorite clips using the Drive Smarter® app or by connecting the camera to your PC with the included data cable.
- Parking Mode requires a hardwire connection to the vehicle’s battery or OBD-II port to power the camera while the vehicle is off (Hardwire Kit available on Cobra.com).
- Parking Live View requires an internet connection for the camera (in-vehicle hotspot or nearby WiFi access point) in order to stream a live feed from the camera to the account holder’s Drive Smarter app. Please consult the owner’s manual for more details.
