Wireless & APP Operation

To connect your camera to the App - Local Mode     

On the Camera, make sure recording is stopped. Go into the main 

menu settings and turn ON the Wi-Fi Local option. 
Back on the video preview screen, you should now see a white 

Wi-Fi icon in the upper left corner of the camera screen. This 

means your camera’s Wi-Fi hotspot is active. 

Connecting to the Smartphone app

Go to the Wi-Fi settings on your smartphone and look for a new network that 

starts with “Cobra —.” Connect to this network. 
On your smartphone, launch the Drive HD™ App. It will present you with two 

options: Local and Internet. Choose Local, and then choose the Cobra camera 

from the list.

If the Cobra camera is not appearing in the list, press the         button to refresh.
In rare cases, you may also have to reboot both the smartphone and the camera 

to get them to connect the first time.

The WiFi capability of the CDR 900 allows you to view live 

video, control the camera, upload and share videos, or adjust 

settings; all from your smartphone. The first step to connect 

your smartphone with the CDR 900 is to download and install 

the

Store and for iOS on the App Store.
The camera can connect to the App in two ways:

The smartphone connects to the CDR 900 directly via WiFi for remote control, 

live view, album management and camera setup.

2.                Cloud-Based Internet Connection

The CDR 900 connects to a wireless access point and uploads live video to 

the internet cloud server, which can be viewed with your smartphone from 

anywhere.
