Top 10 Signature Radar Detectors

The device recognizes control devices by signature determination of their frequency. The built-in GPS-receiver allows you to calculate the speed and coordinates of the car. The Speedcam software package works together with it, which, along with the radar part, warns of the presence of cameras along the path of the car. The radar detector is compact, the size of a cigarette pack, mounted on suction cups in both open and closed ways - above the far-view mirror, under the sun strip. In the reviews, the owners praise the device for the precise operation of the signature filter, a pleasant female voice, and a bright screen on which everything is visible from any point of view. The disadvantages, in our opinion, are insignificant: the most significant of them is the limited length of the cable.

Instead of a 2-line indicator, this model has a full-fledged 1.3-inch display. It displays data on active ranges, speed cameras, distance to the object and the existing speed limit. The arrangement of 4 mechanical buttons and the polygonal lines of the case are associated with the forms of a sports car. At the same time, its compact dimensions and black color allow it to be placed in the car interior so that it is inconspicuous from the outside. To do this, the kit offers 2 options for fasteners - a non-slip mat and an L-shaped holder. Additional information support is provided by the GPS receiver. According to reviews, the positioning of the device as the flagship of the line is fully justified by its functionality and performance.

iBOX continues to release all new car gadgets and one of the new products is the Pro 800 Smart. Among its advantages are the accuracy of determining cameras and early response, the presence of the “Smart” mode, as well as a nice package with a magnetic mount, a mount with vacuum Velcro and a mat for a dashboard, as well as two fuses. By default, it is proposed to use the smart mode, having previously configured it. The user can select speeds ranging from 0 to 150 km / h, at which the transition from one mode to another is carried out automatically. No less interesting are the functions of high-speed and signature filtering: the first disables voice notifications at a certain speed, the second blocks false signals.

The car gadget successfully resists the so-called. "quiet" radars - "Skat" and "Arena", even directed at the back. The detector calls the type of camera and the maximum allowable speed in a particular area. The Turbo mode is especially sensitive, so it’s better not to activate it in the city. For urban conditions, X-COP automatic settings are optimal, which will turn off voice alerts at speeds below 40 km/h, switch to signature mode when driving from 40 to 70 km/h, and increase sensitivity to police radars above 70 km/h. The complete set of the model is quite scarce. For example, only a bracket with vacuum suction cups is provided from the mounts. From the reviews, you can understand the reason: the device's speaker is located at the bottom, so it's better to install it on the windshield, closer to the ceiling. The assembly was carried out to the conscience, the body parts do not rattle when moving the car. Great device, just a little cheaper.

This model was highly appreciated even by those car owners who had previously used more expensive radar detectors. They note that thanks to the noise filtering system, false positives practically do not happen. At the same time, the device protects against troubles in the form of fines perfectly: both on the highway and in the city it works in advance. He displays notifications on a monochrome OLED screen and clearly duplicates the female voice, thereby providing enough time to adjust the speed limit. Particularly high protection against interference is provided in the "Megapolis" mode. Setting up the device is intuitive, experts call the database one of the most complete, besides, it is updated in a timely manner, during testing and operation of failures and problems were not observed.

The model compares favorably with an extended range of various settings. It is programmed for several city modes, the "Track" mode and a smart mode with a large number of customizable parameters. Menu navigation is very easy by dividing the functions into sections and displaying all the necessary information on a large LCD display. At the same time, the radar detector itself is very small and may well be called a pocket one. Users note an amazing response range for such a kid: he catches radar systems over 300 meters, and the signature filter effectively cuts off false signals. The reviews are mostly positive, but there is also a drop of tar - there is no Wi-Fi module in the gadget, so you will have to carry it to a PC to update it.

The radar detector from the well-known Korean company SHO-ME looks, according to reviews, compact and neat.The monochrome display is protected from sunlight by a visor and is perfectly visible to the driver. The company approaches the issue of updating signatures very responsibly. Firmware is updated about 3-4 times a month, customers can learn about updating by subscribing to the mailing list, and the process itself does not require special knowledge. In addition, visitors can leave information on the change in the position of stationary radars and cameras on the site, on the basis of which the developers will promptly edit the database. Other advantages of the model include effective interference screening and detection of complex complexes, and the disadvantages include the impossibility of updating data from a flash card, as was the case in signatureless SHO-ME devices.

The device consists of 4 separated blocks: a switch, a radar module, an OLED display and an external GPS antenna.All parts of the complex, except for a miniature display, are installed in the engine compartment. This configuration is the optimal solution for vehicles with athermal windshield, which is known to create a strong radio barrier. The signatures of police radars from 45 countries are included in the memory, but it is important to remember that in many of them radar detectors are prohibited, and therefore are subject to seizure and even destruction. Owners of the Neoline X-COP S300 are practically not threatened with such troubles (although it is better not to violate foreign laws), since the Spectrum detection systems see them only when they come close.

When GPS is on, the device detects radarless fixation systems like "Avtodoria" and "Avtohuragan" as if it were dealing with the "Arrow" of the previous version. Truckers love it, because the control cameras of heavy vehicles of the Platon system are included in the memory of the device.The car gadget also confidently wins the duel with radar emitters, raising the alarm even a kilometer before the radar, and 800 m away recognizing the "handwriting" of each of them. The device can also warn about several cameras sequentially located at a distance of less than 300 m from each other. Occasionally, he can make a mistake by reacting in the K-band to a non-existent speedometer. A slightly more serious drawback is the excessive "talkiness" of the device, but it is eliminated by flashing the voice package during the update. But the information content of the display is excellent, and the data is readable in any light and at any viewing angle.

The name of the car gadget is associated with the Navajo Indians and their accuracy of throwing tomahawks. On the road, the device really accurately detects road radars, detecting them at a decent distance: directed in the forehead - from 300 m, in the back - from 50.The signature part, according to their own reviews, works flawlessly. The signature database and GPS via microUSB (included) are frequently updated, you can manually update by adding useful data. Initially, you need to get used to navigation, but a lot of settings make the device work very pleasant: you can adjust the response speed threshold, alert type, GPS alert distance, etc. There are disadvantages, for example, in sunny weather, the display screen is hard to read, but against the background of others "buns" they are too small.
