Takes time to learn
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dash cam can be used right out of the box without the extra features which take time to understand. If youll spend time learning the dash cam and its companion app Drive Smart, you’ll benefit from knowing what’s ahead.

Love it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does exactly what I need. Clear and crisp picture. Only complaint is for the rear camera, the cable for that is about 16 inches to short for my truck for where it need to put it. Would be a 5 star if not for that.

It's A Good Dash Cam If You Need Certain Features.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price it has all of the features needed, but It feels outdated and the app connectivity is annoying and slow. It does have clear footage and is able to detect license plates at as decent range. The only thing con I've ran across is that the storage will sometimes bug out and wont record. A simple storage format fixes this issue.

Posted .Thank you for your valuable feedback. Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the Drive Smarter app, and that both your phone and dash camera are updated to their most recent versions. The camera is designed to loop record, which means it will overwrite old video clips once the SD card is full. However, emergency recordings are locked and will not be deleted. If the SD card needs to be formatted, you can easily do this through the Drive Smarter app. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact us at 800-543-1608.

Great price for security
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was in a car wreck a few months ago. The Cobra video cam I had caught everything. After the wreck I decided to upgrade to the sc 400d. This has a front and rear camera. I also bought the cabin camera separately from cobra. The Cabin camera hooks into a jack on the side of the SC 400d. All three camera's run simultaneously regardless of which view you have on the screen. I love the fact that you can give voice commands to the camera. The camera comes Alexa equipped and I love this function. The only negative thing I can say is that I wish the camera had more voice commands. I like this camera so much I bought one for my wifes car.

Good camera, Horrible app
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera itself records in high quality. Catches good details and already snitched on someone trying to lie about their accident. But the app itself is horrible. It connects and disconnects when changing screens. Its slow and riddle with freezing errors. The shared radar feature, I don't even know if it works. It popped up once and never again. It also requests location access at all times and then proceeds to eat 25 percent of my phones battery in a hour. I have a Samsung flagship phone and this app is throwing warnings that the processor is being overused. I wish I could give it 5 stars but the app is so bad it literally holds this camera back from greatness.

Cobra SC-400D Dash Cam
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've only owned it a short while and I really do like it. It seems to work very well and comes on every time the car is started. Yes, I would purchase this again. You can install it yourself, but I decided to have Best Buy to do the install and I am glad I did. Perfect job guys.

Better than all others
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it. The videos are so clear. I love that its front and rear camera. Decent size. I can see both angles very clear. Super easy to function and navigate. The person who installed it gave us a brief description but to be honest it's so straightforward. The app doesnt have any glitches and i manage it myself. It also has a lot of different features. Somewhat pricey but definitely worth it with the amount of claims nowadays.

The sc 400d cobra dash camera is a must have
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really liked it, it has a lot of things on it that can do whatever you like. I especially liked the map and red light camera features. It’s cool that you can set it up on your phone. I’m not really that tech savvy but Eric in installation was really helpful in getting me started. I had one problem when first installed with the power wire that connects to unit. Eric and Emily helped me take care of that. I’m ready for the road now.

2 failures so far, not the quality I would expect
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased 3 of these camera setups to install in 3 different vehicles that are commonly driven. I have had extreme difficulty using the app especially recently on an android device. I purchased the hardwire cord to connect in the vehicles and the wire gauge is so small its almost ridiculous. With all those negatives I felt as though the cameras were ok at best and most functions like live updates and alexa I didn't use because I just wanted a camera, not some interactive device giving out verbal vomit all the time. Now it's been over a year and warranty has run out. several months ago while still under warranty I was having issues with 2 of the cameras. because I have been out from a bad injury the camera warranty has expired. the first camera started just beeping at me several times a minute, come to find out it was as though the event button was being pushed repeatedly but it was not. the second camera gets very hot to the touch and shuts off randomly. on top of that the second one now is killing the battery if left plugged in for more than 12 hours or it will randomly shut off while driving down the road. Needless to say I would have expected a short lived product if I purchased on some cheap garbage website however I expected a 3-5 year device with these cameras. consequently I will now be looking for a much better product moving forward.

I feel safer with this
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was easy to install and easy to use. My major complaint would be the app. I haven't been able to connect to it for about a month now. I can't find any necessary updates or anything. It just connects, I try to view a video and it disconnects. You still have the ability to eject the SD card and pull videos that way though. Overall, it was a good investment.

Bad app
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera is great. Great resolution. But the main problem is with the app connecting to the device. It freezes gets stuck on a continuous loop. Doesn't detect device. Lags to get videos when it does work. Only one phone can be registered to the device so if you have multiple drivers only one person can have access to the dash cam but like i said it never works i well be calling customer support tomorrow to trouble shoot it and if that doesn't work i week be returning it. The last thing anyone needs after an accident is not being able to retrieve the video footage to send it to yourself for insurance purposes.

Great 4k Dash Cam, with some unfulfilled desires.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great 4K Dash cam with crisp images and easy download thru 5G WIFI. I wish it could integrate with car's navigation system/google maps, and I wish it would allow video downloads integrated with the location map. I am not sure if any Dash cam in current market carries such features.
