DRIVE HD DASH CAM FEATURES
1296P Super HD - All Drive HD DASH Series cameras record the road ahead in 1296P Super HD featuring excellent image quality, nighttime performance, and advanced dynamic range
2.0” LCD Screen - Large LCD Display with video playback directly on the device as well as on your TV or computer
160° Viewing Angle - Ultra wide-angle view gives you a full view of the road and your peripherals while at the same time minimizing edge distortion.
Continuous Loop Recording - Footage is stored in 3, 5, or 10 minute clips. When the memory card fills up, the camera automatically deletes the oldest segment to make room for new ones.
Emergency Recording - Automatic or Manual - If you don’t want a clip to be overwritten, simply press the Emergency Recording button and the clip will be protected. Clips are automatically protected if an impact is detected.
G-Sensor - 3-axis accelerometer senses sudden accelerations, stops, and collisions and automatically protects footage surrounding the incident.
Parking Mode - While in Parking Mode, Drive HD cameras will only record video when motion is detected. This feature is helpful for vehicles that have an always-on accessory port or units that are hardwired to power.
Dynamic Range - Optimized to automatically maximize video clarity in daylight or nighttime conditions

Simple Installation - Mount the unit on the windshield, apply power, and forget about it. Drive HD cameras will automatically start recording without the need for complex configuration.
Ready to Use - Includes a MicroSD memory card, vehicle power adapter, and adhesive windshield mount so the unit is ready to use out-of-the-box.
SnapShot - The SnapShot button is always available so that you can capture a still image at any time.
Built-in Microphone & Speaker - Records and plays back audio along with video. The microphone can easily be toggled off if you prefer not to record audio.
Auto-Record and Auto-Power Off - As soon as power is applied the dash cam turns on and starts recording. When power is removed the dash cam will safely stop recording and shut down.
Screen Saver - Turns the screen off after a set time of no activity to prevent driver distraction. The unit continues recording and the screen can be woken up by pressing any button.

INSTALLATION
1 MOUNT
To install the Adhesive Windshield Mount, slide the dash cam onto the mount and twist to tighten the cam in desired location. Clean the spot on your windshield where you would like to mount the camera and confirm the placement. Reminder, this is an adhesive mount so it is important to mount correctly the first time. Next, peel the plastic film off the 3M adhesive and press the mount FIRMLY onto the windshield.
2 POWER
Plug one end of the supplied 12V Vehicle Power Adapter into your vehicle’s accessory port, and the other end into the micro USB port. The unit will automatically turn on and start recording. To manually power on the device PRESS AND HOLD the Power button until the display activates. When the power button is used to power on the unit recording must be started manually.
Note: A Hardwire Kit (CA-MicroUSB-001) is available at www.cobra.com for a more permanent installation that allows for discrete routing of the power cable.
3 DRIVE!
Drive HD Dash Cams are designed to set and forget. After initial setup the unit will turn on and start recording as soon as power is applied. When the Micro SD Card is full the oldest footage will be deleted to make way for the new.
