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. 

To configure Cloud Mode

Connect your camera to the App using the Local Mode instructions on page 13.

Inside the app, tap on the “Setup” tab at the bottom, and scroll down to 
“Internet settings.”

Under Access Point (AP) tap the button labeled “Click here to Add Cloud AP”

Tap your home network name from the list. If your home network name does 
now show up in the list, tap “other” and enter your network name (SSID) and 
password manually.

Tap the “Setup” button in the upper left to go back to setup.

In the Email Box, Enter your email address. This is needed to help protect your 
privacy, so only you can access your camera over the cloud.

Tap the Green save button, and hit OK.

Exit the smartphone app, and your camera should return to the video preview 
screen.

Turn on Wi-Fi Cloud  in the Main Menu settings of the camera.

After you exit the settings, the camera will show the video preview screen 
with a green cloud icon in the upper left corner.

Make sure your smartphone is now connected to the internet, via the cellular 
network or via Wi-Fi. 

Open the Cobra Drive HD app, and tap on the Cloud Icon that says “internet.”

Your camera will appear in the list. Tap it. After a short while, your  
camera’s image will be visible.

If you ever need to get back into your camera settings again, follow the  
instructions on page 13 to get back into Local Wi-Fi Mode.
