ash cams are all about capturing
the action, and few do it better
than the front and interior Cobra
SC 201 Smart Dash Cam
(currently $179.95 on Amazon [go.pcworld.
com/cbra]). The exterior night video
especially is unsurpassed in its ability to show
details in dark surroundings, and the cam
offers a laundry list of features including GPS
and cloud uploads. It even includes a 16GB
SD card. It’s well worth the money for what
you get—just don’t try to use the cloud
functionality with an older phone OS.DESIGN AND FEATURES
Dash cams generally come in two basic shapes:
rectangular and cylindrical. The SC 201 opts for
the latter, which allows the most space for an
interior camera. Both the front and interior
cameras capture at 1080p. Most interior
cameras are 720p, so this is an upgrade.
While 1080p might seem a bit boring in a
world that offers 1440p and 2160p, it’s more
than adequate for legal and even viewing
purposes, plus it saves you a ton of memory
card space as well as wear and tear. Put
another way, it’s a lot cheaper in the long run.Cobra SC 201 Dash Cam:
