Rating of the best radar detectors
Contents:
• Radar detectors help honest people stay honest by alerting them to nearby speed cameras so they don't accidentally get traffic tickets.
• In fact, today's best radar detectors give you the situational awareness you need to be a good driver.
• Here are the top 10 best radar detectors, with many positive reviews from Russian users on Yandex.Market, Citylink, Ozone and CSN.
10. Roadgid Detect
- radar detector with laser receiver
- ranges: K, X, Laser (switchable)
- radar detection: Oscon, Strelka, Kordon, Vizir, Arena, Binar, Chris, Krechet, Skat, Amata, Vocord, Radis , Iskra, LISD, Poliscan, Sokol
- modes: signature analysis, "City", "Route"
- GPS
- electronic compass
• You can choose from a variety of premium radar detectors that support all possible ranges, have high sensitivity and intelligent filtering. But all this is in vain if you do not want to understand the intricacies of how radar bands and detection settings work, and your radar detector is too complicated to use.
• This is where Roadgid Detect comes in. This gadget has many features and is very easy to use.
• It is equipped with a signature module that cuts off false positives, has a horn antenna with increased detection range and double protection – GPS base + radar module.
• Users note Roadgid Detect's pleasant voice alerts, the ability to update from a computer, and the long detection range of stationary cameras and tripods.
Pros and cons Pleasant voice alerts Few false positives Simple menu Trouble detecting tripods with Laser-Polyscan Display small and not very informative• [nadavi_h2]
9. SilverStone F1 Monza GS
- radar detector with laser receiver
- bands: K, Ka, Ku, X, Ultra-K
- radar detection: "Robot", "Avtodoria", "Arrow", "Cordon"
- modes: signature analysis, "City", "Route", "Auto"
- POP support
- GPS, base station radar
• Radar detectors are one of those tech devices that are available in a huge price range – in the upper price range, you can spend $10000 or more. But there are models that can be bought for as little as 4-5.
• And if you rarely leave the city, then you probably don't want to shell out half a month's "middle class" salary for a radar detector with a lot of bells and whistles if you can choose a good and inexpensive SilverStone F1 Monza GS.
• With an average price of 4,2 thousand rubles, it offers a wide range of features and capabilities.
- This model, in contrast to the 10th place in the rating of radar detectors, has a bright and easy to read screen.
- There are nice voice alerts and the ability to reduce the sound or turn it off altogether. It is convenient if, for example, a child is sleeping in the car.
- There is both an up-to-date GPS base and a base of stationary radars.
- Detects even fake cameras.
• However, it was not in vain that I mentioned the city limits. On the track, the SilverStone F1 Monza GS has more false positives. According to reviews, it squeaks on the active cruise control of other cars.
Pros and cons secure fastening bright screen with good viewing angles voice messages and indications there are false alarms, for example, on the cruise control of someone else's car• [nadavi_h2]

• One of the few anti-radar in the ranking, equipped not only with GPS, but also with GLONASS. This ensures the stability of the signal and the accuracy of tracking the coordinates and speed of the vehicle.
• To reduce the number of false positives, Fujida Era uses various filters, such as the Signature filter and the weak signal filter.
• Users praise this model for up-to-date databases and an easy update process, a bright display, and good tracking of both stationary and mobile speed cameras. The device also warns of cameras monitoring the intersection, curb, bus lane and pedestrian crossings.
Pros and cons False alarms are rare Compactness Easy to use Pleasant voice notification Quiet sound• [nadavi_h2]

- radar detector with laser receiver
- ranges: K, Ka, X
- radar detection: "Robot", "Avtodoria", "Arrow"
- modes: "City", "Route"
- support for POP, Instant-On
- GPS, base station radar
• Under the hood of this radar detector, you will find excellent false alarm filtering (Anti-Cas), and a function to add false alarm points.
• Another feature of this radar detector is the "Megapolis" mode, which provides fewer triggers for parking sensors, door open sensors and other false signals.
• You can set the threshold speed for each Playme QUICK 2 operating mode so that voice alerts are triggered only when the threshold is exceeded, and before that only the display worked. You can also selectively turn off the detected ranges.
• This model also shows the current speed of the car and can warn about the camera in the back, lane control and intersection control.
Pros and consMinimum false positivesEasy operationHigh display brightnessVery elastic suction cupsSee all stationary and mobile radarsQuiet voice alerts• [nadavi_h2]
6. SilverStone F1 Monaco S
- radar detector with laser receiver

• Unlike its "sister" GS, this model can pronounce the names of both stationary cameras and tripods with a voice.
• SilverStone F1 Monaco S "sees" radars at a distance of up to 1000 meters, warns of dummies of radars, average speed cameras and shows the average speed of the car. It has both a GPS base and a base of stationary radars. Out of the box, the radar detector has a SMART mode, which, in principle, can not be changed, except for the time zone.
• Do not forget to update the databases from the SilverStoneF1 or Interpower website in a timely manner (once a week). The update procedure is very simple: you need to connect the radar detector to your computer, download the archive from the site, open it and run the .exe file from there. Then the update installation will start automatically.
Pros and cons Easy-to-read monochrome dot-matrix screen Long 2-meter power cable Easy upgrade Convenient suction cup or sticky tape mount Pleasant voice alerts Occasional false positives• [nadavi_h2]

• The Sochi PRO radar module perfectly "catches" the radiation of various complexes, and if it still turns out to be powerless, then a GPS informer will come into play. He will warn in advance of approaching the "zone of special attention".
• If necessary, you can turn off all sound notifications, leaving only the information on the device display.
• The screen of the SilverStone F1 Sochi PRO displays various useful information, including:
- distance to the radiation source,
- vehicle speed,

- anti dream
- electronic compass
• The best radar detector costs less than 7000 rubles and has many features that make life easier for a person behind the wheel.
- The anti-sleep feature helps you stay awake while driving. If you turn it on, then the device will regularly receive signals that you need to respond to by pressing a button. If there is no answer, the radar detector will begin to squeak very loudly and disgustingly, thereby awakening the driver.
- The GPS receiver is supplemented with a GLONASS module, which allows the device to "catch" more satellites. This is useful if you often travel long distances, in the city it is unlikely to come in handy.
- Easy updating of software and databases.
- Large and color screen that does not glare in the sun.
- No annoying voice alerts.
- A convenient menu with the ability to turn off unnecessary signals and alerts, set alert thresholds and volume levels, and mute alerts.
- Detects cameras both in the "forehead" and in the "back".
• In the reviews, users note that the Inspector Spirit is not suitable for those who like to drive along the highway, since it sees some mobile complexes only at close range (150 meters), so they have to urgently slow down in front of them.
Pros and cons quickly connects to satellites catches all modern radars bright and large screen with large print long power wire false positives are rare, but they do happen• [nadavi_h2]
