Cloud Mode Features

Your Dash Cam
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're done, your final network will look something like the chart below.

Your camera will appear in the list. Tap it. After a short while, your
