The best radar detectors of 2020

This category contains the most worthy models among the whole variety of budget radar detectors. They support the main frequencies used by police in the CIS:

• X (10 525 MHz);
• K (24150 MHz);
• Ka (34700 MHz).

The devices described below cope with the detection of the most common radars, but in urban conditions they also respond to third-party signals emitted by doors in supermarkets, gas stations and more. Therefore, for urban conditions, they are definitely inferior to analogues with signature modules. Nevertheless, if you turn on the radar detector exclusively for long trips along the highway, this option is suitable. It is worth adding that inexpensive models are most often devoid of a screen - a set of sensors is responsible for notifications.

Opens the Top 15 radar detectors budget model Fuji from the famous South Korean company SilverStone F1. The device without problems catches signals of different ranges of X, K, Ka, Ku and even the police radar of the Strelka-ST series. Not surprisingly, the model has become widespread in the CIS market. Among the advantages of the gadget include a simple installation on glass, the presence of a high-quality filter of false positives. At the same time, the device promptly notifies about approaching radars by means of a loud sound signal. In addition, it shows the type of technology due to colored characters on a fairly clear screen. It is worth saying that the device is devoid of GPS, so most stationary cameras can not detect. This does not prevent him from remaining one of the best in his class thanks to accuracy and practicality.

In the segment of low-cost radar detectors, the Eplutus RD-536 model, which received a moisture-proof housing and many useful functions, deserves attention. In particular, protection against VG-2 is implemented, a speed limit is set, and a fairly clear display is adjusted for brightness. You can turn off the sound, use voice notification. Despite the low price, the “city”, “highway” and “auto” modes are implemented quite well. However, this is due to high-quality digital signal processing, as well as a laser wavelength of up to 1100 nm.Judging by the comments of customers, the device copes with support for Ultra-K (K-Pulse) and Ultra-X. There is a GPS. However, the quality of implementation of the module is poor.

For users who want to buy an inexpensive radar detector, Sho-Me has a really suitable model - the G-700 Signature with GPS. The device received good digital signal processing. However, the device is compact in size and light in weight - only 130 grams. The downside is that the laser wavelength reaches a maximum of 1000 nm, which is less than most analogues. Nevertheless, the device is equipped with a good filter of false positives, supports pulse signals like POP. If you pay attention to customer reviews, you will notice that customers respond positively to the device’s interaction with the following types of radars: Krechet, Arena, Robot, Chris, Avtodoriya, LISD and others.

Monaco GS is another inexpensive but good SilverStone F1 video recorder that confidently catches signals of different ranges. Implemented a good GPS module. The database is updated regularly. VG-2 protection available. Users respond positively to the quality of voice acting. However, the model weighs only 121 grams. This gadget perfectly copes with various radars, including VIZIR, AUTODORIA and ARROW. There is protection against VG-2, a reliable filter of false positives, signature recognition. You can set limits, use different modes, including ROUTE and CITY 3. The advantages include disabling ranges and a good screen with brightness control.

The best low-cost radar detector for 2020 is the iBox GT 55 Signature with a laser wavelength of up to 1000 nm. The device received a digital compass, good GPS and even the GLONASS system, which is uncharacteristic for representatives of the budget segment. The device effectively copes with a vast number of radars, including LISD, ARENA, VIZIR, ROBOT. Another useful device option is the function of voice notification, setting limits, protection against VG-2. The false positive filter is quite good, comparable to the premium segment models. Implemented support for pulsed POP signals. You can adjust the brightness of the screen, turn off the sound and voice notification, respectively. No cons were found, given the price of this device.

Of course, the latest generation of signature radar detectors are much more efficient for driving in urban environments. First, they pick up different radar frequencies. Secondly, they are able to identify them against a background of various interference, analyzing the signal by amplitude, number of pulses, etc. As a rule, such devices operate in three modes, responding to range microwave emitters and signals of speed meters known to him. This ensures a finer tuning of the instrument in urban environments. It is worth adding that on country roads their advantages go unnoticed against the background of classic models.

Speaking about the most effective signature detectors with GPS, it is worth paying attention to the Playme HARD 3 model. This device is distinguished by the presence of a powerful filter and anti-CAS interference suppression technology. Thanks to these components, the device is not afraid of interference past the gas station and around the city. It is worth adding that the gadget is equipped with a not very informative LED-screen, providing for brightness adjustment. The display shows all the necessary data, including information about the type of radar complex, you can set restrictions on controlled areas. The advantages include voice messages, support for the POP range and protection against detection by systems such as VG-2.

If you have not decided which one to buy a signature radar detector, we recommend that you evaluate the advantages of the X-COP S300 from Neoline. Not the cheapest radar complex, but you have to pay for accuracy and convenience. The plus is that this device received the newest long-range and very sensitive EXD module. Together with a filter of Z signatures, an excellent result is achieved. The universal device received an external GPS antenna. The radar module copes with the frequencies X, K, Ka, Laser. The GPS base is designed to operate in 45 countries, including the Russian Federation, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, Georgia and others.

One of the most effective this year is the signature radar detector from the Sho-Me Quattro Signature series. The model detects radars such as "Robot", "Arrow", "Avtodoriya". Supports Ultra-K and POP frequencies. Judging by the reviews, signature analysis is effectively carried out, and the device has a high-quality filter against false positives. The laser wavelength ranges from 800 to 1000 Nm. The viewing angle of the laser detector is 360 degrees. Against the background of loyal value and high-quality assembly, it is difficult to find any drawbacks. At the same time, some buyers react negatively to the fastening system.

In the premium segment of signature detectors, the Neoline X-COP R050 model looks suitable, which perfectly synchronizes with the X-COP R700 DVRs wirelessly. Such a kit will protect yourself to the maximum. As for the radar detector, it itself deserves your attention. The device determines advanced mobile complexes such as "Arena", "Krechet", "Vizir" and others. Mounts on a 3M mount, and supports Smart Click Plus active charging. The DVR can be placed in the rear view. The difference of the radar detector from other signature technologies also lies in the presence of a high-quality filter of Z-signatures. With it, motorists will not have to worry about blocking by police radars.

In the premium segment, the Neoline X-COP 8700S looks pretty bright, the only drawback of which is its high cost. The rest of the powerful and accurate radar detector only pleases. Timely detection of all types of mobile ambushes is provided, up to the latest generation radar models with frequencies from K to Ka. In addition, the device has a good GPS base and a striking design that matches the premium segment. The advantages of the device include the integrated long-range module of the new generation EXD Plus. In addition, the device received a contrast screen, a reliable mount, and a quick software update via OTG Micro USB cable.

This category contains premium solutions equipped with a GPS sensor. Sophisticated users know how important this option is for any good radar detector. As you understand, such devices perform two important functions at once: they determine the radar signals and their location. Advanced models have powerful processors, so they quickly check the location of the car with a map of stationary posts that fix the speed of vehicles. This is important because some systems do not have radiation sources. It is impossible to detect them with a simple detector.

Neoline’s X-COP 5700 model with a gorgeous GPS base for police radars of the Russian Federation and Belarus replenishes the rating of 2020 radar detectors. The device detects signals of a wide range of frequencies: from X to Laser. Also noteworthy is the radio module for detecting Strelka-type police radars. The manufacturer has equipped the Motion Control motion sensor device, which responds to gestures to turn off audio signals. Ease of use also adds a bright OLED screen with a good viewing angle and voice messages that recognize 45 different types of police radars. The control of the allocated band is provided, as well as several operating modes, including City / Highway / Turbo / X-COP. The maximum threat warning range is 2 kilometers.

The Playme QUICK 2 model with the Anti-CAS option adds to the list of radar detectors with good GPS. A distinctive feature of the device is ignoring any interference. At the same time, the device does not give false alarms even near third-party sensors: at gas stations, near shops, etc. The manufacturer claims that this device combines the best technologies from signature detectors. This is manifested in an advanced DSP-based algorithm. Realized voice notification in the range of a certain radiation. The advantages of GPS include:

1. An extensive base of police radars;
2. Determination of the type of cameras;
3. Speed ​​limits;
4. Automatic muting of alerts;
5. Filtering a pre-installed base;
6. Constant updating of the database;
7. Adding GPS coordinates offline.

This year, the Navajo S model from Tomahawk, which supports such ranges as:

1. X: 10.525 GHz ± 50 MHz
2. K: 24.150 GHz ± 125 MHz
3. Ka: 34.2-34.4 GHz; 34.9-35.1 GHz
4. LASER: 800 ~ 1000 nm with a viewing angle of 360 °.

The model received a high-quality OLED screen with adjustable three levels of brightness. Signature detection of a huge number of radars operating in the CIS is envisaged.

Special attention should be paid to a number of advanced functions, including intelligent IQ mode, an advanced menu, customizable thresholds and dynamic distance of voice alerts. There are several useful modes, including Route, City, Town, Megapolis and Intelligent Mode.

SILENT 2 is another powerful signature radar detector with good GPS from Playme. The loyal price is due to the use of a medium-quality screen based on LED technology. As for the functions and accuracy, it's hard to find fault with anything. The device has enough modes and a good detector to recognize any cameras currently in use by the Russian Federation. Similarly with radars: from SPARKS to ROBOT and ARROWS ST / M.

It is worth saying that the manufacturer took care of the presence of thoughtful GPS operation algorithms. The module warns the driver with a voice where you need to slow down. Moreover, in a very high-speed limit it works quite quickly and on time.

The best radar detector with good GPS - Fujida ERA model with a Signature filter to reduce the number of false positives. The device detects and blocks signals from the blind spots sensors of machines with Side Assist systems without any problems. The sensitivity of the device is regulated by the SMART mode, taking into account the speed of the vehicle. The advantages of the model should also include a high-quality Nuvoton processor with ESP technology. However, the manufacturer took care of the presence of a clear OLED-display with brightness control. A receiving lens is installed that recognizes LASER systems at 360 °.The number of unnecessary warnings about radas will be reduced by the speed filter, and the “my speed” function will allow you to get useful information on exceeding the set speed threshold in a timely manner.

Having decided on the class of equipment, it is worth paying attention to a number of important parameters. If you do not know how to choose a radar detector for your car, you will have to pay attention to the analysis and comparison of the following parameters:

1. Type of construction - there are monoblocks, block designs and combined detectors. The first option is the most common, due to the ergonomics of the device. Governing bodies, "iron" and the display are in a single case. Block designs include two modules, in one of which there are sensors, and in the second other details. Combined models are equipped with additional devices, including a DVR;
2. The installation method - do not underestimate this parameter, because most motorists constantly use such gadgets, and ease of use is not the last value. Today you can find models that require installation on glass with adhesive tape, Velcro and a rubber mat. The first option is less reliable, so it is better to give preference to the second and third;
3. The main functions - if you divide the detectors into classes by price, then simple models have a set of indicators without a screen. Representatives of the middle class are equipped with a simple display, which displays more detailed information, including the distance to the radar. Premium devices are able to display real speed, mode switches, mute the sound, and more.

In the end, I would like to add that in order to buy a good radar detector, it is necessary to take into account not only the range of supported frequencies, but also the response rate of the device to signals. Of course, every driver would like the gadget to be able to notify about the presence of alarm signals in advance. Optimum from 500 to 1000 meters to the area of ​​the camera and speed lock. As practice shows, models that can notify in the "Track" mode in just 200-300 meters are simply useless. To summarize:

• the best budget radar detector - Artway RD-200 GPS;
• the most accurate signature model - Neoline X-COP S300;
• good compact device - Sho-Me Quattro Signature;
• with good GPS - Fujida ERA;
• in the price / quality ratio - Neoline X-COP R050.
