Cobra SC201

Features

Overview: The Cobra SC201 dash and interior camera provides a continuous recording of the road ahead and can even warn you of upcoming red light cameras, speed cameras, and police enforcement locations via the iRadar app. The dash camera also includes an interior-facing camera with IR LEDs, providing a clear view of your vehicle's interior. A built-in G-sensor can detect impacts and will automatically protect the footage around that time. Built-in GPS will also embed location, time and date information into the recorded video, protecting your side of the story in the event of an accident.

HD Video: The SC201 dash camera records video at 1080p resolution for crystal clear recordings. Additional resolutions are available (1080p and 720p) for increased storage capacity. Designed for set-and-forget operation, the unit will turn on and start recording each time power is applied to it, or by pressing and holding the top-panel On/Off button. When power is removed, the dash-cam will safely stop recording and shut down.

Interior Camera & LCD Screen: The dash camera features an interior-facing camera and a 2" LCD screen. The LCD screen can be used to display the interior camera image, as well as for playback of recorded video. Settings and options can also be viewed on the 2" LCD screen. The interior camera includes IR (Infrared) LEDs for improved interior viewing at night and in low-light conditions.

Continuous Loop Recording: Forward-looking video footage is recorded to the included 16GB micro-SD card (expandable to 256GB) in a continuous loop fashion, with the oldest footage getting overwritten when the card becomes full. Footage is stored in 1, 2, or 3 minute clips, making it easier for reviewing and transferring to a computer for editing. A built-in microphone allows the surrounding audio to be recorded along with video.

• Emergency Recordings: If an impact or collision is detected, that recorded video will be saved in the Emergency Recordings file and won't be overwritten by the Continuous Loop Recording mode.
• Emergency Record Button: An Emergency Record button on the side of the camera lets you manually capture and save video that won't be overwritten by the Continuous Loop Recording feature.
• Photos: An on-screen "camera" icon lets you easily take a snap-shot of the camera's current view, which is stored in the camera's Photo Folder.

Wide View: The Cobra dash camera provides a 140˚ wide-angle view of the road and peripherals.

G-Sensor: The SC201 features a built-in accelerometer that can sense an impact or collision, and will automatically protect video footage around the time. The G-sensor features 3 sensitivity settings, with 1 being the most sensitive and 3 the least, or can be turned off completely.

Parking Mode & Motion Detection: The Cobra dash camera can monitor your vehicle while parked, if connected to a constant power source. The camera will monitor its surroundings, while the G-sensor can detect an impact to the vehicle. If motion or an impact is detected, the SC201 will save 1 min video clips as long as the activity is being detected.

Note: Parking Mode & Motion Detection are only available if the camera's included lighter-adapter power cord is connected to a power socket that has constant power, providing +12V when the vehicle is Off. An optional Cobra Hardwire Kit (sold separately) can be used to connect to the fuse box for +12V power.

GPS: A GPS antenna, built into the dash camera, lets you have your exact location, time, and date stamped to the camera's recorded video footage.

Lane Departure & Collision Warning: The Cobra dash camera can provide audible and visual warnings if you approach a lane boundary, or if you are rapidly approaching another vehicle or obstacle in the road ahead.

Microphone & Speaker: The Cobra dash-cam features a built-in speaker and microphone, allowing audio to be recorded along with video, if desired.

Voice Announcements: When your connected smartphone is running the iRadar App, the camera can give you verbal warnings provided by the app, such as approaching red-light and speed-cameras, user-reported police and radar use in the area, accidents, and more.

Micro-B USB: A micro-B USB port lets you connect the SC201 to your computer for downloading captured video clips.

Dual-Band Wi-Fi: The SC201 features built-in dual-band WiFi for connection the cloud for video management and software updates.
