Love the SC400D!!! Just works
I've been using this for 5 months now and it's been fantastic. This review is for the SC400D (I don't know why Amazon is grouping all the Cobra cameras together in the same review pool when all these cameras are so different). So it has the front camera at 4K and rear camera at 1080p. It's just a set it and forget it system. When you turn on the car, it powers up. When you start driving, it starts to record. If you just sit idle with the car running, it'll turn off and then when you start driving, it turns back on and starts recording. When the memory card runs out of space the first time, it'll ask you to format the card and then it'll be able to record continuously without intervention ((loop recording)when it runs out of space, it'll erase the oldest videos so you can keep recording). The way I have it set up, when I'm driving, 3/4 of the screen is for the front camera and 1/4 is for the rear camera. The 1/4 is small so it's not ideal but you could technically use this view to see things when reversing your car. It would be awesome if it would flip the cameras when backing up (e.g., have 3/4 of screen be the rear camera when reversing) but it doesn't.It's very easy to attach and detach because while the mount is almost permanently attached to the windshield with super sticky tape, the camera is attached to the mount by magnets. so if you want to prevent someone from breaking into the car and stealing the camera, you could.The video quality is terrific. It really does look good and the camera comes with a circular polarizer so that you can adjust it so that it cuts down glare and makes the image more vivid. Nighttime, the quality is great for the environment but because the camera exposes for the entire environment, it tends to overexpose the license plates which are white so I guess they decided it's more important to capture the accident than it is to capture the license plate.For things I didn't test... I don't use Alexa so nothing for that. It has a parking mode where it's always recording but it requires that the camera is connected to constant power (which I'm too lazy to have that kind of installation; I just have it connected to a spare cigarette lighter port) or a cigarette lighter that can provide constant power (mine can't; when I turn off the car, it cuts power to the port). I don't use the Drive app because I use a combination of Google Maps and Garmin DriveSmart 86 (which uses Google Maps data and traffic). I don't use Waze because I find it is way too crazy with false alarms (especially with trafffic and cop locations) and has more wrong directions.I ended up getting the SC 400D kit for my other car too because it does work really well. However, it is friggin expensive and I think it should be cheaper because there are cheaper units out there that aren't that much worse.

High hopes but disappointing results...
I don't recommend this dash. For starters, the build quality is incredibly poor when you consider how much the camera costs. The plastic on the sides and front of the camera have been warped and I've been through 2 mounts that have had the same issue. I can't connect to the camera's wifi to get the film through their app. It just cycles on "can't connect." This wouldn't be a deal breaker if I could even see the video that the night time camera takes. It has malfunctioned in a way that makes it impossible to see anything on video captured when the night vision mode kicks on, but somehow the day time camera works fine. I have no clue what is wrong with it and that brings me to my next problem.Support isn't great. I will give them credit where credit is due, they are very responsive. However, I contacted Cobra to see what I could do to get it fixed (I paid $300+ for it, I expected it to last longer than a couple of years). They have given me every excuse in the book, going as far as to say that I had the wrong type of SD card and that was causing the malfunction with the camera. I told them I've used this card since I received the camera and it worked great. They fired back and said they would no longer help me if I didn't use the correct card. Ok, I'll bite. Bought the new SD card, updated the firmware, even changed the power source from the OBD port kit bought from Cobra themselves. I was assured that this would fix the issue. Of course it didn't. So more money put into this already ludicrously priced camera, all for it to still not work.I am waiting for a response from support, but reading other reviews, I am not going to hold my breath. Guess I'm out $300 but at least a lesson was learned. I will never buy a single thing from Cobra again.TL;DR: High price, low build quality. Wifi stopped connecting and night time camera stopped working. Support is responsive but gave me the run around before telling me I will have to buy a new camera. STAY AWAY!

A great camera that can connect with your phone
This camera is a replacement of a old camera of a different brand. I really like that you can see the symbols on the screen to let you know what the buttons are for. It's easy to set up with your phone and you can change the settings on the camera or on your phone.Both came with a adhesive stick on mount which I don't know how long that would last. I used the stick on mount for the rear camera and I bought a mount for my rear view mirror that can swivel. My old camera had a suction mount that would fall off about every month and the camera thought it was in a crash and stop recording. This camera has a separate file for events like this. I also like that you can remove the camera easily because of the magnetic connection for the mount. My wife hit it with her hand the other day reaching for something on the dash and it did not fall, all I had to do was readjust the camera mount that is on a swivel mount. I have not used the talk to camera option yet, but I don't use that option on my phone either.The camera quality is great and it has a little weight to it. The night vision is very good even on the rear camera and I have a tinted rear window. The picture quality is also great.I liked this camera enough that I bought one for my truck.I downloaded the IRadar app that works with the camera but I found out that it has a subscription that I don't really need. I guess if I traveled alot it may be worth it.

Great product.. BUT
Good product. Only complaint is that it will just shutoff while driving. Once I had to unplug it and plug it back in to turn it on because pressing the power button didn't work. I would still recommend it. It does the job.
