A dash cam with a radar detector (or as it is mistakenly called “anti-radar”) is a popular combined car gadget designed to save space on a car windshield. In some cases, buying a combined device can save up to 30%. And if earlier such devices lost to mono-directional options, today manufacturers have learned how to make hybrids that record high-quality video and promptly notify the driver about an approaching camera.
But first, let's make a small digression. In the article we write "radar detector", although in fact we mean by this word"radar detector". The fact is that 90% of users do not see the difference in this. Although the difference is significant. Anti-radar is a device for jamming or distorting the radar signal. That is, the task of the radar detector is to confuse the radar. You can drive at a speed of 200 km / h past the radar and go unnoticed. In Russia and in many countries of the world, such devices are prohibited by law. In turn, the radar detector only detects the presence of a radar by picking up a signal at a certain frequency. This is a harmless device that can be used legally on our territory.
Now let's go directly to the study of the best models of DVRs with radar detector. Unlike monodevices, a lot of functions must be implemented here with high quality.When choosing candidates for our rating, we took into account the following characteristics and indicators:
- Fixed camera detection level
- Viewing angle
- Video Recording Resolution
- Recording speed
- Radar detector sensitivity, supported ranges
- High-quality GPS-informer
- Convenient fastening
- Compact size
- Maximum size of supported memory cards
- Availability of night shooting
This is just not a complete list of what the car owner wants to see in the purchased 2 in 1 device. However, as our research has shown, today it is almost impossible to find a combined video recorder in which all the above functions are implemented at the highest level. Absolutely every device has its drawbacks, even in premium models with a $400 price tag. In some, the camera is poorly implemented, in others there are problems with the operation of GPS. Very often you can hear complaints about the quality of the definition of stationary cameras - according to users, 99% of devices suffer from this ailment (maybe it's not about the devices?).
In general and in general, paying attention to both the technical characteristics and the opinion of car owners, we have compiled two ratings of the best 2-in-1 combined devices: DVR + radar detector.
The best inexpensive DVRs with radar detector: budget up to 10,000 rubles.
From the budget electronic gadget initially do not expect much. Savings here are directly related to the functionality of the device. At the same time, it can be of high quality. At least we put such models in this category. The disadvantage of budget DVRs is their limitations: you are unlikely to see a high-resolution picture or a huge set of additional functions.But if you don’t need them, and you just want to record what is happening on the road and track radars, then it makes no sense to overpay.
4 Cartage HD
Country: China
Average price: 3 800 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.3
If you are looking for the cheapest DVR, then this is the one for you. Finding a cheaper model is unlikely to succeed. At least one that can shoot in HD quality, and even with a G-sensor and other bells and whistles found in more expensive models. Finding information about this manufacturer is almost impossible. It is only known that he is Chinese, and this is not surprising. Probably, it is the lack of a big name that affects the price, since the filling here is quite adequate, and any eminent brand would probably sell such a gadget for more.
Of course, you can't do without drawbacks either. First of all, we note very small memory cards with which the device can work. Only 32 gigabytes, which is very small by modern standards and the record will be updated frequently. Also not happy with the temperature regime. If the upper threshold is quite adequate, 60 degrees, then in winter the device will refuse to work already at -10.
3 Playme P200
Country: China
Average price: 9 900 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.4
To a large extent yielding to its closest competitors in terms of technical characteristics, the Playme P200 TETRA video recorder is in the third position in the rating. By and large, we cannot single out anything remarkable in the functionality of this model. Video recording resolution is medium (1280x720). The viewing angle is 120, not a little, but not a lot, it will shoot road signs, but it may not be enough on wide roads.There may also be problems with work in winter, because the operating temperature range is from -10 to +45 degrees. The maximum memory card size is only 32 GB. For comparison, KARKAM Combo 3 supports 120 GB, which is four times more. Of course, the memory supply may not be enough to store a long history.
You can find a lot of reviews about this DVR. But you need to be careful, because there are a lot of frankly fake reviews left by store managers and other interested parties. This applies not only to this particular model, but to all 2 in 1 devices in our rating. Be that as it may, the advantage of the Playme P200 TETRA is the price, which is an order of magnitude lower than the closest competitors. Although, many will probably prefer to pay a little extra and take more functional 2 in 1 devices.
2 Artway MD-100 Combo 2 in 1
Country: China
Average price: 7 000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
The first thing that catches your eye about this combo is its price. Really for 4500 rubles. Can I buy a reliable 2 in 1 device? As reviews and reviews show, this is quite real, however, there is a so-called. lottery effect: most users are lucky, and they use the device with pleasure, but there are also incidents due to which you have to contact the company's service center. The device is attached to the glass with a suction cup, its dimensions are small (60x52x94 mm - you can even hide it behind the rear-view mirror), but the visibility is very decent - video recording captures 3 road lanes and part of the curb.
All the functions prescribed in the characteristics work stably, and the radar detector signals the approach to any radar system for about 1 km.Individual radar frequencies can be disabled. The low cost, of course, affects the quality of components, but no one complains about video with a resolution of 1280 × 720. Convenient and intuitive menu interface. In general, given the price, the device is quite functional and deserves the attention of potential buyers.
1 Digma Freedrive 750 GPS
Country: Russia (produced in China)
Average price: RUB 8,050
Rating (2022): 4.7
The problem with many radar detectors is that they respond to a limited number of cameras and detectors. While excellent at tracking some patterns, they completely ignore others. The more extensive the base of the device, the better, and now we have a gadget with the largest list, at least when it comes to the budget segment. In addition to classic radars such as Iskra, Sokol and Vizir, it can also recognize the relatively new LISD and AMATA sensors. The list does not end there, but listing it all simply does not make sense.
At the height and quality of the product. Despite the Chinese assembly, it is made at an excellent level. Judging by the reviews of the owners, the device works fine even after several years of operation. Nothing falls off and does not burn out in the first weeks, as is often the case. The processor on board of the device is MSTAR 8336. Its power is enough for shooting at 1296p resolution at 30 frames per second and a viewing angle of 140 degrees.
The best DVRs with radar detector: budget up to 20,000 rubles.
If you increase the budget to about 20 thousand rubles, you can already look for a better and more reliable device with advanced functionality.Here you can find the possibility of shooting in high resolution, interaction with large memory cards and a lot of additional functions. Some devices even have a night vision camera, but the main advantage is the improved search for a radar detector. Since we are looking at combo models, it is important for them to detect such devices in a timely manner, and, unfortunately, budget gadgets are often late or completely ignore them.
4 Inspector Bravo S
Country: South Korea
Average price: 17 300 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.1
One of the main criteria for selecting products for the rating is the reviews of real users left by them on marketplaces, forums and specialized sites. Judging by them, this South Korean brand is the best in its segment. He has a huge catalog and many models in a variety of classes. Now we have a rather expensive version in front of us, but its price tag is fully justified, since the filling of the device is very rich.
The gadget quickly works as an anti-radar and has a large database. Most modern speed detectors and street surveillance cameras are inscribed in it. Moreover, this database is constantly updated and supplemented. To do this, you just need to connect the DVR to your computer and download the update. Also, reviews often mention high-quality assembly and reliability. But there is also a negative. In particular, it concerns the temperature regime. Before turning on the gadget in the morning, be sure to warm up the car.
3 Roadgid X7 Hybrid GT
Country: Russia (produced in China)
Average price: 17 800 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.1
Choose the Roadgid X7 Hybrid GT if you are looking for a multifunctional DVR with a radar detector.The device-informer notifies you about a lane change, about the beginning of movement at a traffic light and in a traffic jam, as well as about reducing the distance to the car moving in front of you. Sufficiently high video recording resolution (1280×720 at 60 fps and 2560×1080 at 30 fps), built-in speaker and microphone (the latter can be disabled) are important characteristics of the model. Among other functions, we note the G-sensor (shock sensor), motion detector in the frame, the presence of GLONASS, GPS.
The pros and cons of the radar detector are very actively commented on the network. Positive reviews are focused on high-quality voice guidance and the quality of shooting during daylight hours. The registrar is praised for its simple installation, but over time, the hinge play between the suction cup and the device is noticed. A system with a signature module allows you to track police radar signals, ignoring extraneous interference.
2 Neoline X-COP 9700
Country: South Korea
Average price: 18 500 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
We gave the second place in the ranking of the best to a device of Korean origin - Neoline X-COP 9700. This is the most expensive DVR with an anti-radar in our rating. Positive reviews speak of an interesting design, a convenient touch screen, a website with firmware, and adequate technical support. In general, there should be no problems with warranty situations, since Neoline service centers are located in all major cities of the Russian Federation.
As a DVR, this device works on 4+. The video recording resolution is 1920x1080 - at the level of the best in our rating. There is a touch screen, a motion detector in the frame, the function of recording events in a separate file. In terms of supported memory cards, the X-COP 9700 is in the lead.Still, 64 GB is 2 times better than 32 GB for the rating leader DATAKAM G5-CITY. But there are complaints about the radar detector. Some car owners complain about the long search for satellites, frequent false positives. This is evidenced by numerous reviews on Yandex-Market. Whether these are real facts or tricks of competitors is difficult to say. In any case, you can verify the veracity of these reviews only by testing the device in practice.
1 DATAKAM G5-REAL MAX-BF Limited Edition
Country: Russia
Average price: 15 500 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
The leader of the rating is DATAKAM G5-REAL MAX-BF Limited Edition, one of the most advanced DVRs in the DATAKAM line. The device is equipped with a state-of-the-art 7-element lens with F-1.6 aperture, which greatly improves the quality of video recording at night. We also note the presence of a polarizing lens hood, which protects the lens from sunlight and glare.
One of the main "features" of the G5-REAL MAX-BF is a unique magnetic mount with pass-through power through the holder. Many users have appreciated the benefit of this mount as it eliminates the problem of dangling wires. Installation on magnets takes a matter of seconds and you can also quickly remove the DVR from the mount, for example, to take it home for the night. Very comfortably!
The principle of operation of the magnetic mount is shown in the following video:
We also note the presence of 2 slots for memory cards up to 64 GB, built-in GPS, GLONASS, G-sensor and a self-diagnosis system. There are no complaints from car owners about the radar detector.
The best dash cams with premium radar detector
In fact, there is no definition of premium class for DVRs. It just sounds good. In this section of the rating, we placed devices whose price tag goes beyond 25 thousand rubles. These are the most expensive and sophisticated devices on the market. They have the maximum equipment and functionality. Top notch and build quality. If you want the best DVR, then you need to look for it here.
4 SilverStone F1 HYBRID S-BOT PRO
Country: South Korea
Average price: 30 000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
Our rating considers combo devices. This is a DVR, and a radar detector, and often also a navigator. At the same time, it should not have a huge screen, but you need to put as much information on it as possible. The manufacturer SilverStone succeeded. The device has the best interface in terms of convenience and functionality. First, you can disable and enable the displayed functions yourself or adjust their transparency. Secondly, all widgets can be swapped and their size can be adjusted. Most convenient.
You can also manipulate the jumble of symbols on the screen while editing the video on the computer. If a widget interferes with the view, you simply remove it or move it to another corner. At the height and technical equipment. A powerful AIT 8339 processor is on board, and the gadget also uses Z-signatures, which allow you to almost completely eliminate false positives. Of the shortcomings, only a rigid fixation of the screen.
3 Street Storm STR-9970BT
Country: South Korea
Average price: 25 600 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
One of the most successful models in the Street Storm line.The premium combo device can record high quality videos in 2304x1296 resolution. This is achieved thanks to the coordinated work of the Ambarella A7LA50D processor and the best video sensor OmniVision OV4689. The dash cam can shoot in Super HD 1296p, Wide Full HD and Full HD with Real HDR in high detail. The number of megapixels of the camera is 4, and this is also the best indicator among competitors. In terms of quality (detail) of the video, we can safely put this model in first place in the ranking.
The filling of the device includes all modern functions and additional options: a shock sensor, a copy of the protocol, the WDR function, a data stamp on the video recording, lane control, and so on. The lens consists of 6 layers of glass and has a wide viewing angle of 170 degrees.
The manufacturability of the radar detector is beyond doubt, and you would not expect anything else from a device with a price tag of more than $350. The radar detector determines all existing radar and laser systems (Strelka, Avtodoria, Robot, Chris, etc.), signals about stationary cameras using GPS. By the way, if you wish, you can turn off the K and Ka ranges, which unloads the processor and increases the "reaction" of the detector.

2 Atlas Inspector
Country: South Korea
Average price: 35 000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
The Korean brand Inspector is not just the most popular in the modern market. The secret of such demand is in the highest quality and reliability of their devices. For example, this gadget has on board an ultra-sensitive sensor from SONY - Starvis IMX. It works great even at night, and the unique signature technology allows you to minimize false positives.If you are tired of your budget radar detector beeping when you see an ordinary door with remote opening, then with this model you will forget about this problem.
In addition, there is a huge set of functions that can be expanded by installing add-ons from the official website of the developer. The sensitivity of the device is enormous. It determines the location of the car with an accuracy of 20 meters, and the speed with an error not higher than 3 kilometers per hour. Not every DVR can boast of such capabilities, but the price tag here is appropriate.
1 Neoline X-COP R750
Country: South Korea
Average price: 28 000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
Neoline X-COP R750 is the leader in the rating of premium models, a new combination device from NEOLINE. The manufacturer managed to solve a common problem of DVRs - “glare disease”. This was made possible thanks to high-quality optics from 6 glass lenses and an anti-reflective CPL filter. The device is not afraid of the glare of headlights and reflections of objects on the windshield of the car. It is impossible not to note the "brain" stuffing. The X-COP R750 is equipped with the most powerful Ambarella processor to date and a sensor from Sony, the symbiosis of which makes it possible to record very high-quality video.
Many users can be pleased with one of the largest screens in the class - 2.8 ", which is also touch-sensitive! A big advantage is the presence of Wi-Fi, with which you can transfer recorded videos to a computer, and possibly update data from stationary cameras. Maximum map size memory - 128 GB, also the best indicator among the competitors in question.
As for the operation of the radar detector (anti-radar), there should be no problems here, since the device is equipped with an intelligent system for processing the signal of the radar detector and the base of stationary cameras. NEOLINE X-COP R750 can detect 45 types of radar systems, as well as the passage of intersections, pedestrian zones, bus lanes, etc. It is worth noting the Z-signature filter, which is designed to eliminate false positives and notify the driver only of a real threat.
Video review
The best DVRs with anti-radar and GLONASS
The GPS satellite system has not been a monopolist in the market of navigation technologies for a long time. Here it is confidently pushed by the Russian development of GLONASS. And if at the beginning of its journey GLONASS was often scolded and not even compared with American technology, now they are not only in the same row, but in many ways GPS even plays. This is clearly seen in the number of anti-radar models that use GLONASS either in conjunction with GPS, or exclusively with it. Also, every year there are more and more motorists who prefer this navigation system.
4 TOMAHAWK Cherokee S
Country: China
Average price: 19 000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
The disadvantage of many registrars in their mounting system. Often it is simply unreliable or completely rigid, which does not allow you to choose the ideal angle of the camera and screen. In this case, the manufacturer completely eliminated this problem by making the mount movable with the ability to rotate the lens by 180⁰. Thanks to this, you yourself can choose a place for mounting on the glass, without starting from where we look at the peephole.
Well, since this is a combo model, one cannot but say about its technical equipment.The radar detector works on the Ambarella A12 processor. Video resolution is 1920×1080 at 30 frames per second. Not the best result, but for such gadgets it is quite adequate. The viewing angle of 155⁰ will also please. Also not the maximum, but more than many competitors. In general, a confident middling with its advantages and disadvantages, but definitely worth the money.
3 TRENDVISION Hybrid Signature EVO Wi
Country: South Korea
Average price: 22 200 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
The Korean brand TRENDVISION has been the most popular on the market until recently. Today, it has been pushed aside by young companies offering more budget prices, but this name will still remain on the buzz for a long time. The popularity of the gadget is due to its technical capabilities. There is a very high quality shooting and video detail. On board is a powerful Taiwanese processor and an ultra-sensitive matrix from Sony. There are multiple recording modes including 60fps, and a wide 170-degree viewing angle.
The wide temperature range deserves special attention. Everyone knows that such electronics do not like frost, but not TRENDVISION. It works great even at -30, that is, in winter it will not stop shooting and nothing will be left behind the scenes. Add to the benefits and the ability to install a large memory card, and in different formats. Even the device comes with a 128 gigabyte flash drive.
2 Inspector Hermes
Country: South Korea
Average price: 15 400 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
If the radar detector is needed only while driving, then the DVR should work constantly, and if its own battery is weak, it will be powered from the car's on-board network.Almost all modern devices have their own battery, but often it is just for beauty or “to be”. But not here. There is a really powerful battery, the charge of which is enough for several days. With such a registrar, you can not use the car for a long time.
Special modes and motion sensors help save energy, that is, recording is not carried out constantly, but is activated only at the right moments. There is also an impact sensor that turns on the camera if the car is hit or swayed. Also, the reviews note an extensive database, which contains most of the currently known radars. It's just that it is updated quite rarely, but the manufacturer assures that it will fix this situation.
1 Prology iOne-3000
Country: Russia (produced in China)
Average price: 18 300 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
Despite the small screen, the DVR must shoot in high resolution so that when viewing the recording from a large monitor, all the details can be seen. The higher the shooting resolution, the better, which means that now we have the best device in front of us, since it records at 2560 × 1440p and at 30 frames per second. There is also an alternate mode. The quality is slightly lower - 1920 × 1080, but already 60 frames per second.
The image is as clear and detailed as possible, and it is provided by the Sony IMX307 matrix with 2.07 megapixels. The gadget uses the GLONASS satellite system together with GPS, which significantly improves the quality of positioning. There is also a motion sensor on board, as well as a G-sensor, which you can configure to your liking.The model is as reliable as possible, which is confirmed by real, verified reviews and a user rating of almost 5 points on popular marketplaces.
The best DVRs with radar detector and SpeedCam function
In most cases, radar detectors work by intercepting a laser beam that is sent by a security camera or high-speed detector. But technology does not stand still, and law enforcement officers are constantly improving their devices, which is why registrars that are only a year outdated stop responding to new items. This situation can be partially corrected by the SpeedCam user database, to which system participants themselves add dangerous participants or new cameras. The base is constantly updated and is supported by many radar detectors, which we will consider in this section.

Rating (2022): 4.6
A modern smartphone has long ceased to be an ordinary phone from which they simply call. Now it is a full-fledged computer capable of performing a lot of additional functions. For example, it can be used to adjust your DVR and radar detector. Update its Speedcam database and make settings. Many modern gadgets can do this, but in this model this application is implemented in the best possible way.
It is very convenient, intuitive and does not require any complex manipulations. You no longer have to carry the registrar to your computer to update the database or transfer records. All of them will be available immediately in the application, and it can be accessed both from a smartphone and from a PC or laptop. As for the technical side, there is nothing unique here.Everything is on the level and corresponds to the declared price tag. A quality device, but without unique features.
3 XPX G525STR
Country: South Korea
Average price: 8 600 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
While driving a car, it often becomes necessary to perform some manipulations with the registrar. The driver has to be distracted, look for small buttons, and all this is very dangerous, but there is often no time or opportunity to stop. This device solves this problem. It can be controlled with gestures, and which ones you choose for yourself. Very comfortably. In the settings it is possible to choose the options that will be controlled in this way, as well as the gestures necessary for activation.
Also, the advantages include a movable mount. The camera rotates 180⁰, which means that you can fix it in any part of the windshield, putting the lens where you need it. The factor is important, since there is a lot of information on the display. This is a full-fledged anti-radar, and even with the SpeedCam function, which is updated wirelessly. You don’t have to remove the gadget and drag it to the computer.
2 Daocam combo wifi
Country: China
Average price: 19 000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
If you don’t initially expect much from a budget electronic gadget, then paying almost 20 thousand rubles for a DVR, you want to get a truly reliable, durable device that will not fail in a couple of months. Such a device is now in front of us. Reviews about him are mostly positive and there are quite a few of them. Users praise first of all the quality assembly. This applies to both the entire gadget and its individual modules.
Despite the Chinese origin, there are many Japanese components here, and they are all the most modern and reliable.As for the technical parameters, it is impossible to say that this device is the best. Rather confident middle peasant. The shooting resolution is 1920×1080, and the maximum frame rate is 30 per second. This is neither good nor bad. Average. There is a navigation module and an impact sensor. That is, everything that a modern device needs.
1 iBOX Alta LaserScan
Country: China
Average price: 15 000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
Before us is the most "fancy" radar detector with the most adequate price tag. The model uses the top MStar 8336 processor and the modern GalaxyCore 2053 matrix with a CPL filter. Thanks to them, the picture quality is very high. You can see even the smallest details, such as road markings or numbers of cars traveling far ahead. Also worth mentioning is the ADR CORE amplifier, which allows much earlier detection of the laser beam used by cameras or speed sensors.
This is not a complete list of the device's functions, and it makes no sense to list them all. Let's just say that any option can be fine-tuned to suit your needs. The system is flexible and allows you to exclude unnecessary values or, on the contrary, enhance them. And, of course, support for SpeedCam. The base is updated regularly, and you can do it wirelessly, that is, the gadget does not even have to be removed from the windshield and carried home to connect to a PC.
