Radar detector rating 2020. Review of the best models and reviews of motorists

The main technical parameters of radar detectors affecting the choice of the device

In fact, there are not so many basic parameters that you should pay attention to when buying. The most important of them are the detection range and the number of determined ranges. The rest, for the most part, affect the user's comfort when interacting with the device. These include, for example, the rate of false positives, the presence of databases with camera coordinates, GPS, and others. Let's understand the parameters and find out what a good radar detector should have.

ATTENTION!

The word "radar detector" actually means a device that jamming the radar at a distance using special interference, distorting its meaning. This technique is prohibited for use on the territory of the Russian Federation. But in everyday life it stuck and almost always means a radar detector, which will be discussed in this article.

Ranges in detector devices

The range in a radar detector characterizes the spectrum of all possible radar frequencies that it can detect. The wider the range, the better. The latest radar detectors can operate in the X-bands at 10.525 GHz, K at 24.15 GHz, K at 35.2 GHz and La. The latter is laser and is able to determine the speed of the machine in a dense stream. In Russia, K, X and La are often found. However, it is better to play it safe and choose the largest frequency range. The presence of a large number of frequencies is one of the main criteria for determining which radar detector is better.

Radar detection range

The radar detector is capable of detecting the presence of a radar approximately 3 km away from it. But this is in good weather conditions, in line of sight and in the absence of interference. The real average distance from which a radar or camera can be detected is from 800 to 1300 km. The longer the range, the more time the driver has to take measures to bring the speed to the specified traffic rules values.

Other characteristics of radar detectors

Radar detectors can be equipped with other "stuffing":

• laser detector detection capability. Since the technology for detecting the laser differs from the standard ranges, such a possibility is usually singled out as a separate feature of the radar detector;
• viewing angle of the laser detector;
• receiver type. There are two types - simple, direct amplification, which is inexpensive, less susceptible to interference, but less sensitive, and superherotodyne, which is more expensive, very sensitive, but unstable to interference;
• presence of signature analysis. Reduces the chances of false positives;
• the ability to switch to modes "City" or "Route" for a more accurate and qualitative definition in the necessary conditions;
• elusive radar support type "Arrow", "Avtodoria" and "Robot";
• is necessary for checking the current location with the existing database of cameras for timely notification;
• detection protection;
• other amenities: own memory, LCD display, fine-tuning, etc.

IMPORTANT!

If you are going on a trip in your car across Europe, then remember that a number of EU countries prohibit the use of radar detectors. Among them: Finland, Belgium, France, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Sweden and others. To avoid punishment, you can use detection protection, but it is worth remembering that it may not always work.

Top 5 budget radar detectors of 2019.

Low-cost radar detectors are highly available, which is why they are so popular. They do not always contain all known technologies and "chips", but they are able to cope with the most important task of the antiradar - to notify about cameras and radars ahead. Let's see which radar detector is better to buy, what to look for and what are its features.

Radar detector rating for Android 2019 - 5 best models

Perhaps this will be news for many, but any smartphone on the Android platform can be used as a radar detector. Of course, smartphones are not equipped with powerful signal receivers, but they have GPS, which can be used to determine the location of cameras and radars using an existing database. Let's see what the market has to offer and what kind of radar detector 2017 better, as well as reviews and prices for them.

MapcamDroid

An application that uses a GPS sensor to detect traffic police ambushes, cameras, radars and just dangerous places on the road. For work, we use our own database of the Mapcam project, which is constantly expanding. To be installed on a device, it must have a GPS or GLONASS module, as well as an Android version of at least 2.2. The free version has a standard set defined by the object, while the paid version has a lot of it. complements.

GPS Antiradar

Free application based on the principle of object detection using databases as you get closer. Very simple interface, the ability to work in the background and frequent database updates. The paid version opens the possibility of adding your own points, as well as access to points left by other users. Thus, the filling of the databases takes place collectively.

Strelka antiradar

It is possible to work on top of other applications in a separate process. Cameras, Strelka, traffic police posts, road sections of varying degrees of danger are declared as objects to be identified. The approach to notifications has been solved in an interesting way: each type of object can be configured in its own way. For example, set a special sound, range and vibration.

HUD Antiradar

It is the most ordinary radar detector with a database and work with GPS. But it is distinguished by its unusual visual performance. The appearance of the application is designed in such a way that if you launch it and put it on the front panel of the car, the data will be reflected on the windshield in the form of a convenient interface. True, to achieve the full effect, you need to do this in the evening, when the sun's light is not so intense.

Yandex. Navigator

This application, of course, is more a navigator than a radar detector, but you can still include it in the overview of radar detectors. It is popular with users and has a large community whose members can leave notifications about the dangers on the road, as well as cameras and posts right on the map DPS.
