Useful bit of kit could have done with this earlier as it may have saved me from fine and 3 hours of lecture.

It didn’t do anything for me…☹️
Pass, there were lots of noise all the time, but as I went past cameras, nothing??? Unless I did not set it up properly, just still to the Waze notifications…

Pay more get a better one
Terrible Went off for all traffic light sensors a lot of shop doors. Went off at everything driving round town centre. Drove past three speed cameras, went off at one. I drove past that same camera three times within five minutes and it went off once. Drove past police speed van in Leeds twice and never went off, I could see the guy operating the camera. My dashcam was better at notifying me Think it should really be one star especially for the price wasn’t anything I’d rely on

Does not detect known cameras
Had for 1 day . Support was very responsive ( within 2 hrs) when I asked about false triggers . The device software version is 1.0 which implies that the software or database has not been updated since release. Support has not replied to my question on the age of the database. This is basically u/s . Returning

Not sure about this item. Went straight through a roadside camera without warning.

Good radar but serious fault with mine
Just driving down the road and I smell a burning smell so I pull over and it’s coming from the radar cable there’s no damage to it at all only had it a few months this is very disappointing

Realizei varios testes hoje, passei por um policial com a pistola Laser Tech por 3 vezes cada uma delas alterando as configurações sensibilidade etc etc e não detectou nada kkkkkkk, por outro lado detecta radar onde nao tem, ja desativei a banda K Low e nada, muito chateado. Sera que rasguei dinheiro, irei testar mais dias e volto a postar aqui.Obrigado ao vendedor pelo rápido envio, desde a compra a te entrega se passaram apenas 5 dias. Todas as taxas de importação ja estão inclusas no pedido e a Amazon antecipou a entrega em 5 dias. Parabéns a todos e muito obrigado

habe dieses Gerät jetzt einige Monate getestet, für wirkliche Gefahrenstellen ist es nicht zu gebrauchen, es schlägt bei allen möglichen Frequenzen an nur nicht bei denen ich es wollte.

... these 5 stars are for the detector alone at under $150! DO NOT download and sign up for the app! 1. It doesn't work well. I had to turn off my smart watch as it got stuck in a loop with notifications. 2. They'll bombard your email with junk emails! The detector works great! I got it for a spare car and am comparing it to my 4 times more expensive Escort. Pros: Few falses and very modest alerts (voice) on K and X band. More assertive with alarm and voice on Ka and there was cops so it WORKS! Display is clear and bright enough in daylight. Functions are clear enough but you may wanna download a full manual. Cons: Mounting is okay. Feels secure but not Escort nice. Cord is just that, a cord. Long enough for any cigarette lighter plug-in but has no buttons. If you wanna mute an alert you need to reach the mute button on the detector. Closest to you but still far away, especially in a truck or SUV etc. But overall a 5 STAR $150 detector! Does all the Escort do for me (I just hang it and expect it to point out police radars in the vicinity. ) I actually like Cobra alerts better as they're not in your face like Escort. I recommend this product but don't download the app and expect to actually use the buttons on the detector (if you need to, I set mine up and now don't touch it other than the occasional mute when a cop is close for a long time.)

Hallo an alle, die Blitzer genauso doll hassen wie ich. Ich habe dieses den Cobra 480i gekauft, damit er mir blitzer anzeigt. Vorzugsweise mobile blitzer. Wenn alle standartfunktionen eingeschaltet sind, dann reagiert das Gerät im minutentakt. Das bedeutet, dass alle verkehrsmessgeräte im Frequenzbereich von K und Ka arbeiten. So ist es zumindest in Berlin. Als Folge bleibt also nur diese Frequenzbereiche zu deaktivieren, was bedeutet das die meisten festen blitzer nicht mehr angezeigt werden. Somit werden nur die laser angezeigt. Hier ist das Problem jedoch, dass das Gerät viel zu spät reagiert (so ca 5m vor dem Blitzer oder sogar erst später), trotz höchster Sensibilität. Ich sende es wieder zurück, da es für mich absolut unbrauchbar ist.
