Why am I having trouble connecting the camera in Drive Smarter?
Attempt restarting the dash cam (wait 30 seconds before powering back on) and attempt connection again. In parallel, restart the Drive Smarter app and attempt to connect again.
NOTE: Please ensure you have Bluetooth enabled on your phone.
How do I connect my camera via Wi-Fi?
You do not need to manually establish a Wi-Fi connection to your dash cam. Drive Smarter uses Bluetooth to automatically manage connection types depending on which feature you are using within the app. Simply use the Drive Smarter app to access gallery view or live view.
How do I enable Parking Mode Protection?

How do I view my camera’s feed remotely?
In order to use the Parking Live View feature the camera needs to be connected to the internet via in-vehicle WiFi, an in-car adapter, or another form of internet connection within range of the camera. Please connect your dash cam to your desired internet connection using the Drive Smarter app and the camera connect to it automatically in the future.
When the camera is on (being driven or has been turned on by detecting an incident during parking mode) the account holder can view the camera’s feed using the Drive Smarter app or by visiting Drivesmarter.com to use the web portal.

Reviews
Wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy.
"With $40 dash cams available everywhere, i assumed spending $200 on a dash cam that claims to have endless features would be a great idea. I made the terrible mistake of choosing this one. Not only does the recording button take 30-45 seconds to begin recording (meaning i must predict the future in order to properly save a recording) but i can't view the gallery from my phone. The dash cam attempts to create its own wifi, which only works with my phone 1/10 times that the wifi actually turns on. Nothing uploads to any sort of cloud, so if you wanted to save that clip from earlier today. Simply go hop in your car and start it, wait for the camera to decide it feels like turning on, pray that it's wifi actually works, then connects to your phone, after you've done that, continue praying the app decided to load or let you see the gallery! Awful product, please save your money and get a cheap and reliable one off of amazon. Even their website is hot garbage and barely functional. The Send Review button is hidden behind the customer service button 😂"

Awesome Cobra Dashcam
"I just recently purchased a Cobra SC 220C dash camera and I can say, the video is super. I like the way they have function laid out. Everything is so easy to read and set up. I also love the front and rear camera combo. I was able to download the app which after setting it up sent me to the website."
The angle of the viewing
"The angle of the viewing screen when attached to the window is very bad and causes a bad glare which makes the screen hard to see."
Gifts waiting
"I have yet to install either of the dash cams I bought as they are going to be graduation gifts for two teen drivers. Past Cobra dash cams were handy enough I bought two more."
Excellent Camera
"A great unit with a great offer and deal from Cobra with the added power adapter into the OBD. Highly recommended."
I have not had it
"I have not had it long enough to be able to rate all of the functions, but it seems like a cool little device."
Cobra SC 220C Dash Cam
"This camera works well. Easy to use controls and function menus. Ordered with the "OBD" power cable for easy install and full function. I love it!"
After registering the device once
"After registering the device once I received it and installed the drive smarter app on my cell phone am not able to login since keep receiving the message that my login credentials does not exist"
Q&A
- Is there a different mount for this model? Something so you can turn it because of the slope of the window. Using in a truck windshield is v shaped camera is always turned to far left.
- Thank you for your question. The SC 220C is only compatible with the adhesive mount. Locate a central area on your vehicle's windshield, preferably near the top. The dash cam should be positioned so that its display is easily visible. If desired, you can apply the included electrostatic film for a semi-permanent installation.
