Customer Ratings & Reviews

Every time I step out of car automatically turn it off by itself . While the car engine still running.

Camera is simple to setup and use. Will have it hard wired soon.

Camera is great , has a clear view and it’s not hard to set up at all . Definitely recommend

Everything works the way it should. I now have a front facing camera and dash cam. Works with my Android Auto.

Easy to use and install. I have just started using my dash cam but love it already.

Works very well but needs a bigger memory card to keep large

Easy installation works well with Apple CarPlay and android auto

I only wish it had a holder this product sticks to the windshield not good when you’re renting a car

I liked the unit overall but ultimately returning it because the cabin cam had a flicker to it.

This product has potential, but couldn't trigger for any thing like camera ahead, radar detection, etc. I called Customer Service and they never called back. I returned the product to Best Buy with no hassle :-)

One of the camera doesn’t work. Inside camera doesn’t work. It’s not even touch screen. There are way more better options for maybe one third of the price of this one.

Nice unit, installation instructions are basic which makes it confusing. GF had tried to install solo and well i had to fix it.

For the last week, I've been testing the new Cobra SC220C QHD Dual Dashcam. Overall, I think this is a great option for your next dashcam. The box includes the dashcam with a pre-installed 16GB Micro SD card, a 12V to USB-C charger, a USB-A to USB-C data cable, a tucking tool, three adhesive wire ties, and an extra adhesive mounting strip. Installation was straightforward. Simply remove the adhesive strip, place it on the windshield, position the camera (which swivels), route the cable around the windshield, and plug it in. Setting up the camera was also easy. It features four touchpoints on the bottom of the screen for navigating the simple user interface. Additionally, a record button on the side allows for manual activation of the camera's recording feature. While it lacks a touchscreen, which isn't a major drawback but something to note, it's still user-friendly. Regarding performance, the dashcam excels. The QHD wide-angle sensor in the front captures extremely clear video, even capturing legible license plates in both day and night conditions. The interior-facing camera, although only HD, is sufficient for Uber drivers seeking added safety. Faces are clearly visible in both day and night. The LED screen is a decent size and becomes bright enough for viewing in daylight. Several unique features set this dashcam apart. Its compatibility with the Drive Smarter app allows for modifying settings and receiving alerts from other users, such as red light cameras, speed cameras, and user-reported radar detections. However, for reliable radar detection, I recommend using a dedicated radar detector due to frequent false reporting by users. On the downside, while I appreciate Cobra's switch to a USB-C connector, it's unfortunate that it cannot be powered by my car's USB ports. Additionally, at my workplace, dashcams are prohibited for security reasons, and the SC220C is not easily removable. It will remove if you slide it to the right. But, the pressure required will quickly wear out the adhesive strip. Overall, I believe the Cobra SC220C is an excellent choice for anyone who works for Uber or simply desires the added protection that a dashcam provides.

I have been spending some time with dash cam and try to test out all the features. I had an older version of their dash cam from cobra and this is definitely an upgrade. The quality is what you would expect for a dash cam pretty decent, but not 4K or anything. That being said, the cam is good as well as the inside facing one. For those on the fence about an inside facing one it’s good to have, but also you are able to disable it if it’s not your speed. Screen is very nice on it so it makes it easy to see what it’s recording versus the tinier screen you usually get on other devices. Speaking of the screen you are able to use the drive smarter app and have the screen become a GPS. It will display the next turn and how many miles/feet till it happens. A pretty cool little feature. With the drive smarter app you can change settings as well as easily transfer videos from the device onto to your phone. You are also easily able to watch videos direct the videos directly on the the camera which is a very nice feature to have to you don’t have to go to your computer and download them off the micro SD card that is included. Btw be careful with the SD card when removing it will shoot out. And I mean launch if you aren’t holding it. This camera is great. It’s packed with a lot of features and is a great addition to any vehicle in this day and age with those crazy drivers.

This product is very hard to set up and understand. I wish I could take it back for a refund. But I’m sure that I can’t due to your return policy.

The Cobra SC 220 QHD dual view camera is an excellent choice if you're in the market for a dual view dash cam. I jumped at the opportunity to try this dash cam out since my daughter had just got her license. She inherited my 2008 Ram 1500 Big Horn. Let me tell you that setting this dual view camera up in that truck was super easy. It comes with everything you need, plus a few extra double sided tape in case you decide to move it to another car/truck. The cab is small enough that the cabin view also gets a great view of the back window, so she gets excellent front and rear visual protection. In the truck, I had a couple options how to power the SC 220. Meaning I could have it powered on all the time, or I could have it power on when the truck is in running. I opted for the powered on while the truck is running, especially because she doesn't drive that much and I didn't want the camera drawing power when not in use. The SC 220 also has access to the Drive Smarter app. The app is mainly a GPS, but gives you "360 Alerts", which are radar speed, and red light cameras. It will allow you to update firmware. You also have access to cloud video management as well as the onboard videos that are stored on the included 32GB micro SD card. You get a lot in this one package. I just hope there is no reason to have to review any videos, but I'm happy it's there just in case.

Absolute junk waste of money could not even get it connected to my phone

The power cord that they sent with doesn’t work very good. I’m gonna have to buy a new one. Otherwise it’s a pretty good.

Can’t get everything to work like they say it has not very happy

The Cobra SC220C QHD Dual View Dash Cam may have a complex name, but it's easy to use. In the box - Cobra SC220C QHD Dash Cam - 12v adapter with USB C (and pass through USB A port) - short USB A to USB C cable (for PC transfers) - spudger/cable tool to help hide the cable - 6 wire clips - microSD card (16GB, Western Digital Brand) - spare 3M mounting tape INSTALLATION / SETUP Setup/Installation is two parts, one is installing in your car and then installing the free "Drive Smarter" app. on you phone. CAR INSTALLATION Every person will have their own preference of what is acceptable for cable runs. It took me about an hour to get the included 12V USB cable run the way I liked. Cobra includes a spudger tool for helping you press the cable behind panels (my car is 2016 Jeep). There was plenty of cable run for me and I used all of the 6 included cable clips to hide most of the cable. My recommendation is take your time and get this in an optimal position. It's good that the Cobra Dash Cam has the USB C power on the right hand side - so the cable runs are via the passenger side of the car. Mounting the camera itself, it secures with 3M tape (included) and there are included static clings for temporary mounting. I'm not sure why you would want the temporary mount, as the Cobra Dashcam has a mount that it can slide on/off. Both the road facing and passenger facing cameras have tilt adjust - so once the camera is mounted you can get the camera angle perfect. Overall experience. I love that the 12V power adapter has a USB A pass through, so you can still charge your phone with the 12V in use. DASHCAM USE / RECORDING It takes a bit of getting use to but the screen is not a touchscreen, it has dynamic hot buttons on the lower part of the screen. It takes a bit of adjustment after years of using touchscreens. The Cobra Dashcam is mostly user friendly, but PRO TIP, keep scrolling right on some icons or down on some menus as there are extra screens and features that are not immediately obvious (like enabling over speed limit alerts, or custom watermarks on the video). Worth noting that the camera has a privacy mode - not something I need, but if you are an Uber/Lyft driver this may be something you're looking for (or maybe you have private phone conversations you don't want recorded haha!). VIDEO QUALITY The video quality is QHD for the road but worth knowing passenger view is 1080p. I transferred the video by removing the microSD card (easy to do while mounted). The SD card creates folders for the front and second (passenger) camera. The default watermarks include data, time, speed and GPS coordinates. It's good for QHD quality. Video format is MP4 - which is supported as standard on Windows/MacOS. This also means the videos are easy to upload to YouTube, etc. should you need to share them publicly. DRIVE SMARTER APP (Worth it!) The (Free) Drive Smarter App really helps the Cobra Dash Cam become AMAZING! It pairs via Bluetooth. It's easy to setup (name, email, password) and PRO TIP don't panic if you miss the QR code on first power on - the QR code is just a shortcut to the app store, it's not needed for pairing. Pairing was quick and the Cobra quickly re-paired when I powered the unit on/off. I have an older car, without Android Auto or CarPlay and the screen of the Cobra Dash Cam becomes 100x more useful - large navigation prompts, warnings if you're over the speed limit (again, you can customize or turn off if you prefer) and makes the Cobra more than just a Dash Cam. I'm not sure what the app uses for maps or navigation, but in a few test routes on trips where I know the way - the directions were accurate and not like the random backstreets you get in Waze. OVERALL I really like the COBRA SC220C. It's a nice upgrade for me on my older car, especially with the Drive Smarter App. I knocked off a star because it's not a touchsreen (but Cobra do have touchscreen models - so you can pay for the privilege) and the Camera UI is good not great. There clearly has been a lot of though put into the installation (love the included spudger and pass through 12V charger). If you want a dash cam for peace of mind, or you are an Uber/Lyft driver - this is good value addition to any car.
