Unfortunately, I can't add a video here (because it must me less than 5Mb).
I bought this camera to replace my 2y.o. old Crosstour HD (1080x720) dashcam.
1. Despite the fact that Cobra has a much better resolution the video quality is the same. The main problem for me is that the license plates of front (and side) cars are not visible if the car is located more than 4-5 feet away.
2. There is no suction cup for this model (only adhesive). I tried to call Cobra customer support to check the availability of suction cups for this model. They are not taking calls because of the "high volume of calls. Please, try again later." I tried 9 times without any results. It means that if something happens to your camera you will not receive any support because of "high calls volume". There is no email address to contact them.
3. I will return this camera due to the overpricing, lack of quality, and customer support.

This came in so handy. I needed to take pictures of an accident and was difficult to drive and take pics. I was able to catch everything on my dash cam, including sound. Worked out great.

I was expecting more from Cobra. Camera runs well as recording, but have some glitches over the parking mode, its turning to parking mode very often, like when I drive on the highway and the surroundings looks the same or even when I'm on the red traffic light stopped.

Third and by far the best dash-cam I’ve owned. Super easy setup, love the stability of the adhesive mount, and picture quality is excellent. Bought one for all three cars (mine, wife’s, and daughter’s).

The quality is fine, but there is no app which is a huge struggle. Everytime I want to save a video, I have to remove the camera and take it inside to my computer. Outdated as well.

This is an excellent dash cam. It comes with very long cable so that you can lay the cable anyway you want. Video quality is also very good.

Replaced a Uniden Dash Cam that died. The Cobra is even more compact and performs beautifully. I actually prefer the permanent mounting option compared to the suction cup... the suction cup was always falling off. Great value for the price.

It works as it should. It continues to loop not asking me to always format the card. The quality is not bad either.

Dash camera is good but not happy it didn't come come with a suction holder for windshield. We can't use it in different cars. Suction holder is sold separately and really expensive

Like it!! Video is good. I noticed that you do have to set the collision setting, if not it will lock up where it will not record over.
