10 best radar detectors under 5000 rubles

This model has all the features that a modern driver needs for convenience and safe driving - a wide range, voice warning, 3 modes with a choice of sensitivity, remembering settings, auto mute sound and screen brightness. The radar detector has a GPS module with a built-in radar database, which is sometimes updated. True, updates are not frequent, about once every 3 months, and during this time the situation with cameras on the roads may change. Nevertheless, high sensitivity helps the detector to notice most cameras, including those located on parallel streets. And drivers don't always like it.

The device does not have a wide range of ranges, but the detector picks up all the main radar signals and warns about them in advance. The detection angle of laser devices is 360°. Modes are set manually here, there is no automatic.But the control of the device is elementary, so it’s easy to figure out 3 buttons and change the “route” to the “city” on the go. Drivers note that the radar detector accurately detects both portable and stationary cameras. True, the warning signal is very loud and practically does not become quieter. Many people like the ability to install the device on the mat, and not just on the windshield.

A Korean-made budget radar detector helps to significantly reduce the amount of fines. It is very accurate in detecting signals and warns in advance when approaching the radar. True, there are no voice prompts here, only a classic sound notification. It is possible to separately configure the city mode and the "route" mode, saving the desired settings. This minimizes the number of false positives. Buyers like the low price with a high degree of accuracy of the device. But some people find it quite bulky and regret that there is no way to attach the device to the panel so that it does not take up space on the windshield.And the mount itself does not seem reliable to everyone.

A device with a wide range, Instant-On and POP support minimizes the chances of traffic police officers to hand you a ticket. However, the excessive sensitivity of the radar detector often interferes and annoys drivers - the device sins with periodic false alarms, especially in the city. Gas stations, supermarkets, cars passing by fall into the field of view. On the other hand, Strelka notices 800 meters away, so even very hasty drivers have time to prepare for a meeting with a tripod. Drivers like the fines savings they get with the detector and the ability to mount the device on both the windshield and the dashboard.

An inexpensive cute model can be placed on the windshield or on a special mat on the dashboard. It captures the signals of the main ranges, which at the same time also calls out loud. However, this ability ceases to please drivers over time - it gets boring. The device has false positives, especially in the city, but many models sin with this. He sees tripods on the track from afar and warns about them in advance, but he often reacts to cameras “in the back” when drivers no longer have time to slow down. Among the advantages of the model, buyers note variable mounting methods and good sensitivity of the device for a symbolic price.

A wide range radar detector that detects both conventional and pulsed radars. Cameras "in the back" catches only 150-200 meters, but about the "Strelka" warns about 1 km. This is quite enough to avoid penalty photos if you do not fly around the city at jet speed. The device is inexpensive, so it has basic capabilities.There is no built-in GPS module, no voice warning - only a sound signal. But the detector copes with its main task well. Feedback from drivers confirms the clarity of radar detection with a small number of false signals.

The model picks up signals from most ranges, notifies about stationary and portable cameras. In addition, it recognizes traps operating in Instant-On mode. And if the policeman turned on the radar to check the speed of the car in front, the detector will have time to warn about this. Drivers like the accuracy and timeliness of notifications, the device warns about cameras about 1 km away. It's nice to see an automatic mute function here, which eliminates the constant loud beeping. By the way, there is no voice guidance here, the notification comes only with sound signals. Of the shortcomings of the manufacturer - mounting only on the dashboard. Judging by the reviews, not everyone likes it.

The model is a little more expensive than the indicated budget, but it deserves attention, and it is quite possible to find it for less than 5000 rubles. There is a very sensitive platform here, and the X-COP function adapts to the speed of the car and sets the appropriate city mode (at 40-70 km / h), the highway mode when driving faster. These modes can also be selected manually. The GPS database is updated 2 times a month, so the risks of encountering an unexpected "surprise" on the road are minimal. By the way, the database contains data on the radars of 45 countries. The coverage area, except for Russia, includes the EU countries, Kazakhstan, Armenia, etc. The device quickly turns on, warns in a pleasant voice about cameras for speed, for marking. It allows you to manually set camera hotspots and false positives. Not without drawbacks - an uninformative indication, according to which it is not clear whether the device is working or not.

This device determines almost all modern video recording systems, warning in advance of approaching them. Drivers are satisfied with its accuracy, however, there are problems with cameras "in the back" - it does not always determine them. Manufacturers also thought about the comfort of the driver. Despite the budgetary cost, a voice warning system has been introduced here, there is an automatic volume mute. The kit includes a USB cable for downloading updates, an anti-slip mat for placing the device on the panel. Customers also like its compactness, secure attachment to glass.

The detector quite accurately catches signals in all modes, although there are also false positives. On the track, he meets all passing cars with active cruise control with a confident beep. True, if the radar detector is tired on a long journey, you can turn down the sound to a comfortable level. A GPS system with a database of stationary cameras warns of approaching them. It is important to follow the updates here, because on Russian roads cameras are growing like mushrooms after a summer rain. Drivers occasionally encounter a situation where a video recording system is installed, but it is not yet in the detector database. But in general, buyers like the accuracy of the detector and the pleasant voice of the notification.
