windshield, behind the rearview mirror. This will minimise the impact on the driver’s
line of sight. You’ll also want to keep the camera centred and to angle the bracket to
optimise the camera’s view of the road ahead.

Continuous Loop Recording: Once the memory card is full, this camera will
continuously overwrite the oldest footage recorded.

by an accident. If the G-Sensor is triggered the camera will automatically save
the footage 30 seconds before and after the incident to a protected file that will
not be overwritten by loop recording.
Your Dash Cam
Your Dash Cam
The CDR 900 has two recording modes for different applications:
Dash Cam Mode: Shoots continuous loop and emergency videos.
Action Cam Mode: Shoots normal videos.
NOTE: By default, the CDR 900 formats the SD card so that 50% of the
memory is used for Action Cam Mode and 50% is reserved for Dash
Cam Mode. This allocation can be modified through settings in the App.

To connect your camera to the Cloud
•
Because your camera has Wi-Fi, it can be connected to the internet (the Cloud).
Once connected, your camera can be accessed from anywhere you carry your
smartphone. This is useful if you want to check on the status of your home or
loved ones while you are away. If your home already has a Wi-Fi network, then
you’ll need to put the SSID (network name) and password into the Cobra Drive HD
app, and then your camera will connect to the internet.
If the location where you are using
your camera does not have a Wi-Fi
network yet, consider a wireless router,
or Mobile hotspot product to get your
camera connected to the internet.
When you have finished, your final network will look something like the chart below.
To congure Cloud Mode
Connect your camera to the App using the Local Mode instructions on page 13.
Inside the app, tap on the “Setup” tab at the bottom, and scroll down to
“Internet settings.”
Under Access Point (AP) tap the button labelled “Click here to Add Cloud AP”
Tap your home network name from the list. If your home network name does
now show up in the list, tap “other” and enter your network name (SSID) and
password manually.
Tap the “Setup” button in the upper left to go back to setup.
In the Email Box, enter your email address. This is needed to help protect
your privacy, so only you can access your camera over the cloud.
Tap the Green save button, and hit OK.
Exit the smartphone app, and your camera should return to the video preview
screen.
Turn on Wi-Fi Cloud in the main menu settings of the camera.
After you exit the settings, the camera will show the video preview screen
with a green cloud icon in the upper left corner.
Make sure your smartphone is now connected to the internet, via the cellular
network or via Wi-Fi.
Open the Cobra Drive HD app, and tap on the Cloud Icon that says “internet.”
Your camera will appear in the list. Tap it. After a short while, your camera’s
image will be visible.
If you ever need to get back into your camera settings again, follow the
instructions on page 13 to get back into Local Wi-Fi Mode.
