POWER

The CDR 895 D utilizes a Y-Splitter to offer maximum flexibility and clean installation without dangling wires.

• Plug the Y-Splitter into the Micro USB Port on CAM 1.

• Connect the Micro USB end of the power cord into the Y-Splitter. Connect the USB end of the power cord in the Cigarette Lighter Adapter and then plug into your vehicle.

• Plug CAM 2 into the Y-Splitter. Use the Extender Cable if necessary.

• Organize and tuck away cables to make sure that the driver’s view is not obstructed. In most vehicles it’s possible to tuck Y-Splitter and cables into the headliner and cleanly hide the extender cable along the top wall all the way to the rear of the vehicle. Professional installation is recommended.

BASIC OPERATION

Press to stop recording and to start. When CAM 2 is connected is displayed instead of to indicate dual recording.

Pressing at any time will capture a still photo on both CAM 1 and CAM 2.

Press to create an Emergency Recording. Emergency Recordings apply to both CAM 1 and CAM 2 video files and will not be overwritten by Continuous Loop Recording.

While recording, press Button 1 to toggle between viewing modes. With CAM 2 connected, the options are CAM 1, CAM 2, Split Screen, and Screen Off. Note that viewing mode does not affect recording. Separate video files are created for CAM 1 and CAM 2 regardless of your viewing mode.

KEY DASH CAM FEATURES

CONTINUOUS LOOP RECORDING

When the MicroSD Card is full it will overwrite the oldest clips to make room for new footage.

G-SENSOR

A built-in accelerometer senses sudden accelerations or collisions and automatically protects footage surrounding the incident so that it will not be overwritten by Continuous Loop Recording.

PARKING MODE

Parking Mode provides security while your vehicle is parked. If the dash cam doesn’t sense any motion for a set time the screen will turn off and recording will stop. If motion is detected or the G-Sensor is triggered, the camera will automatically wake up and start recording again.

COMPUTER CONNECTION

To view videos on a computer connect to CAM 1 using the short Micro USB->USB Cable.

Select Connect to Computer on the dash cam. It will mount as a drive on the computer called DriveHD. Movie clips and photos can be found in the DCIM folder.

Video clips are saved as .MOV files and can be played by most video players on both PC and Mac.

For synchronized playback of CAM 1 and CAM 2 video download Drive HD Player at www.cobra.com/support/software-downloads
