Keep a close eye on the Fry's refurbished Cobra, I've had mine a week, I have 20 different videos recorded that I've been unable to erase, drove 3 hours yesterday and nothing recorded even though there is plenty of room on the memory card, turns out the memory card that came with mine was bad, fortunately I had a replacement.
Ebay sells it for $35 www.ebay.com/itm/Cobra-Electronics-CDR-840-Full-HD-Dash-Cam-with-GPS-G-Sensor/162520993273?epid=809537516&hash=item25d7018df9:g:5WoAAOSwWWJatBE8:sc:ShippingMethodStandard!32206!US!-1 You need to spend over a $100 bucks for license plate readings.
I got a no name version on eBay for $40 and it works ok but looking at it today it's not all that HD. It's good enough to do it's job but there's no chance of it seeing plate numbers. I know other comments says the same about your camera but mines a little fuzzier than yours. Your right about it paying for it's self when needed. I had a very close call today which is why I was looking at the footage.
Allen McKinney yea its a good dash cam for what it needs to do, but if you want to see the plates, a different and better dashcam would be recommended over this.
I own one you can see the plates his setting are not on the highest settings thier are three settings FHD60fps HD30 fps & SD so his upload video is not at the best settings or his upload of the video is compressed FYI
How to play back recordings on the dash cam. Instructions refers you to page 9, but that's no help. Took a bit of searching, but I finally found it. You need to go to www.cobra.com/support/software-downloads for a Cobra Drive HD Player for Windows and a third-party player for MAC. Hope I saved someone some time. I think "review" videos posted should actually be helpful and explain more about how to...
Thanks for the review. Purchased one for 29$ at Frys Vegas 2017

@@tralphaz1- Are you still happy with your refurbed unit after the memory card swap?
Are you still using it or did ya upgrade?
I saw one one egays $18 and it seems like a good deal for what it is
How long will it hold a charge? I really don't want a cord hanging from my windshield.
Don't quote me on it but I believe 2-3 hrs
seems to have a bit of issue picking up license plates though
