The best thing you can get for your car helps you a lot

Good video quality and easy to install. Down side is that you can only use 64gb or smaller micro SD cards.

Loved it!!!! Worth it buy it you will not regret it

Overall this dash cam is very good. I just wish I had purchased the larger screen and touch screen model.

It works like it says it works. Be nice if there was a manual in the box

I have had this dash cam for about a year and it is great it help me in a hit and run 2 months ago it got the tag number and the cops. I strongly recommend this dash cam.

For the price, this unit does the job, easily access recordings from the app.9

Great Dashcam love the quality easy to set up and use

This cobra dashcam has excellent daytime image quality. At night while driving the headlight illumination gives a sort of tunnel effect that emphasizes the road ahead, but when the headlights are off it functions well in its role as a parking camera.

Good product and price was good deal and very professional install

My daughter who is a new driver wanted this so she could prove she was driving safely in the event of an accident. I love the extra features that come with it also. Video quality is excellent. Would recommend along with installation by Best Buy.

Did good for a while, but slowly it would not recognize the SD card so had to switch them out a couple of times. Now the cobra logo is just on and wont turn on, oh well on to the next one.

Quick and easy setup. Quality is good, and audio is ok.

It is what I wanted and easy to use and understand

Easy to install and use I love the ability to use my phone to video clips

The Cobra SC 200D is one of Cobras newest dash cams on the market. It features higher than 1080P recording in the front and 1080p in the rear. For a dual dash cam, this price point is very reasonable. I really wanted to give this product a five-star review for its image quality but all the other aspects pull its score down to more of a 3.5 or 4 out of 5. Setup: Frustration within the App! Setting up the SC200D within the app was at first very confusing because I didn’t know if the errors were on my part or the camera/app’s but it was clear after a little while it was the app. In car setup requires finding a level spot on the windshield to mount the camera with an adhesive pad. I prefer suction cup mounts for the easy for install and removal but this is not that. I have never used this type of mount so we will see how the longevity is. You get two adhesive pads for each camera. Cobra could solve this issues of being permanent by offering just the mounts to buy for each car and it’s as simple as transferring the camera from car to car then. The rear camera is wired (I would love the see a wireless data transfer camera) so setup required running the wire which depending on the car is easier than others. Finding a spot to mount it can also be tricky. One thing I ran into was the fact my car was already hardwired for dashcams with a Mini USB plug, this one features a Micro USB plug. I bought and adaptor to use and it works but most dashcams still use Mini USB as my understanding. Setup within the app was awful. The Drive Smarter app is not ready for prime time. I tried using a phone with Android 11.0 and Android 8.0 and actually the older one somehow got the camera firmware to update after nearly an hour of trying with both. My camera firmware now sits at v1.69 but I cannot tell a difference. Usage/Image Quality: Crystal Clear! The camera works very well but it has a slightly slower startup speed than others I have used in the part (1-2 seconds slower to boot and start recording). The buttons work well and are mounted on the bottom which makes it easier to use than on the sides. The GPS works well and gets signal after moving for about a minute or less. An audible chime is heard once it locks in GPS data. Has plenty of settings inside the app/camera to adjust but I would recommend doing it on the camera as the app is painful to use. Image quality is amazing! This does however create huge files on the SD card so the 16GB card that comes with it will not cut it. I would recommend a 64GB or 128GB but it states it supports but to 256GB. Both day and night quality are good with plenty of ability to zoom in on videos in postproduction to see license plates or finer details. Drive Smarter App: Simply Doesn’t Work I tested on Android 11.0 and 8.0 and neither worked well. I reached out to Cobra and I sent them a video of my problems with the app and they stated they are stability issues and are working to fix them. I hope they are resolved quickly because the app would be extremely nice to have working. Almost nothing works in the app for me other than settings adjustment on the camera but even then it shows some buggy behavior just doing that. For now I plan on not using the app at all just to be safe and not experience utter frustration. Final Thoughts: The Cobra SC200D has great image quality and a fair price point for a dual camera setup. If you are ok with the lack of a functioning app at first (Hoping it gets fixed!) then this might be a good buy for you. If you need the app working as of writing this review, then I would say pass. The adhesive mount and micro USB plug are something I haven’t used or seen on the past cameras so if your car is prewired for Mini USB then an adaptor will be needed. Overall great quality and features but lacking the promised app functionality as of now.

This little unit already paid for itself by protecting my family and I from a false claim! Video doesn’t lie, people do.

Very clear picture. Enjoying the purchase. Love it.

Overall a decent camera it works but the app is hard to navigate and doesn’t stay consistently signed in

I used this camera about 5 months. But now I wanted to install SD card more bigger size and I can’t do it. It shows that I should format my new card. I tried to do it a lot of times but it doesn’t help. It works only with own SD card (16 GB). Also it erase new videos, but saved old videos that about 1-2 months old.
