    Great dashcam at an affordable price. Very easy to use. Have a large memory card in mine because it eats storage up quick. Phone app isn’t the easiest to use.

    I give this camera 3 stars not because of the quality of the video, but the app the camera uses barely works.

    Amazing video quality. Screen goes on standby mode after a few minutes but it keeps recording. Detects strong motions and start recording emergency clips. Records clear sounds from the inside of the car. After I tried 4 different ones with different brands, this was the one and only.

    Slowly downloads videos, turns off on me many times, 6 hours of driving it only records 2-3 hours due to powering itself off, would return it if I could, 3 stars is because when it is powered on it's very good recording quality and the microphone is clear

    As far as a dash cam the product is great. But it is very misleading... purchased over other products because it had stated that it notifies of police in the area. I was excited to purchase a dash cam with a scanner built in. However, this is not the case. You have to have their app opened on your phone and it uses others notifications from the app to notify of any police in the area. The app is not very easy to use and it truthfully has not worked since the first time I used it. I have uninstalled the app and re-installed without any success. I would purchase a different dash cam if I had known this before purchasing. It is a dash cam with a very poorly designed Waze app attached.

    I decided to buy the Cobra SC 201 Dash Cam in hopes that it would help me when I am driving my newest used car. I saw the reviews for all the Dash Cams and the SC 201 had wonderful reviews. I was intrigued that I could watch my two dogs in the seats behind me without turning around, even in the dark. I love that it alerts me when I get out of my lane. Fortunately I haven’t had an accident but I feel good knowing that it is recording. I bought the hardware kit and the Micro SD card that was suggested on the Best Buy website. The technician was the best! The dash cam was installed in less than an hour and it looks like it was part of the car when I bought it! I am really grateful that I have this addition and feel more comfortable now that I have this in my car.
