Top 10 best signature radar detectors

The situation when, in general, a radar detector that normally responds to the operation of various speed detectors annoys its owner with false positives is familiar to many motorists. The reason for this is the saturation of the environment with magnetic bursts and radio signals emitted in different ranges by equipment used for many, often unobvious purposes.

Signature radar detectors are much more convenient to use. When scanning signals, they check each of them with a signature, that is, a set of characteristics that is individual for each type of emitter. The more such characteristics are embedded in the device's memory, the more efficiently it identifies the source and the less often it is triggered for inappropriate reasons. The principle of operation is simple, but how well is it implemented by the manufacturers? To figure it out, let's study the ranking of the best radar detectors with a signature module.

Rating of signature radar detectors

iBOX PRO 800 Signature SE

Compact size, excellent assembly, convenient operation and reasonable price - this is what the iBOX PRO 800 Signature SE can boast of. There are no complaints about the package bundle either, because there are three accessories for installing the device at once: an anti-slip mat, a bracket with suction cups and a magnetic washer.

When it comes to the accuracy of the PRO 800 Signature SE, this radar detector has better sensitivity than 90% of its competitors (including the more expensive ones). In order for the device to promptly notify about stationary cameras, it has GPS / Glonass. Moreover, the user can update the police radar database independently via a computer, for which a complete USB cable is provided.

TrendVision Drive 500 Signature

The device recognizes monitoring devices by means of signature-based determination of their frequency. The built-in GPS receiver allows you to calculate the speed and coordinates of the car. Together with him, the Speedcam software complex works, which, along with the radar part, warns of the presence of cameras in the direction of the vehicle.

The radar detector is compact, the size of a cigarette pack, is mounted on suction cups in both an open and closed way - above a distant view mirror, under a sun protection strip. In the reviews, the owners praise the device for the precise operation of the signature filter, a pleasant female voice, a bright screen on which everything is visible from any point of view. The disadvantages, in our opinion, are insignificant: the most significant of them is the limited cable length.

Neoline X-COP 7500S

The car gadget successfully resists the so-called. "Quiet" radars - "Skat" and "Arena", even directed in the back. The detector will tell you the type of camera and the maximum allowed speed in a particular area. The "Turbo" mode is especially sensitive, so it is better not to activate it in the city. For urban conditions, the automatic X-COP settings are optimal, which at speeds below 40 km / h will turn off voice alerts, when driving from 40 to 70 km / h it will switch to signature mode, and over 70 will increase the sensitivity to police radars.

The complete set of the model is rather meager. For example, of the mountings, only a bracket with vacuum suction cups is provided. From the reviews, you can understand the reason: the speaker of the device is located at the bottom, so it is still better to install it on the windshield, closer to the ceiling. The assembly was carried out conscientiously, the body parts do not rattle when moving the car.

SilverStone F1 Sochi Z

This model has practically not undergone any particularly significant changes compared to the previous device of this manufacturer F1 Monaco S. Additionally, the signature function has been strengthened, which helps to protect the radar detector from false alarms. This is the so-called Z-signature, which includes ANTI-CAS technology, which is a false signal filter in the K-band.

This device can determine the type of radar by a given signature and will notify the user with a voice message and an image on the screen. It has several operating modes such as: Highway, City 1, City 2, City 3, Smart. According to the manufacturer, it is capable of capturing all devices of the road patrol service.

Playme QUICK 2

This model was highly appreciated even by those car owners who had previously used more expensive radar detectors. They note that, thanks to the noise filtering system, false alarms are virtually non-existent. At the same time, the device protects against troubles in the form of fines perfectly: both on the highway and in the city it works well in advance. It displays notifications on a monochrome OLED screen and clearly duplicates in a female voice, thereby providing enough time to adjust the speed mode. Especially high protection against interference is provided in the "Megapolis" mode.

The design of the radar detector can also be called successful - it looks great both in the representative Tuareg and in the budget Focus. There are 2 mounting options: on the windshield of a car, where its compact dimensions do not block the view at all, or on the front panel. In the kit for both, holders are provided - a bracket with suction cups and an anti-slip mat. The configuration of the device is intuitive, the experts call the database one of the most complete, besides, it is updated in a timely manner, during testing and operation, no failures and problems were observed.

Inspector Spirit

The model compares favorably with an expanded range of all kinds of settings. It is programmed for several city modes, "Highway" mode and smart mode with a lot of configurable parameters. Navigating the menus is made easy by dividing functions into sections and displaying all the information you need on the large LCD. In this case, the radar detector itself is very small and may well be called a pocket-sized one.

Users note the response range, which is amazing for such a kid: he catches radar systems for 300 meters, and the signature filter effectively cuts out false signals. The reviews are mostly positive, but there is also a drop of ointment - there is no Wi-Fi module in the gadget, so you will have to carry it to your PC to update it.

iBOX PRO 700 Signature

Despite the rather low cost, the device is made in the best traditions of the renowned manufacturer. The SMART mode changes the sensitivity of the radar detector depending on the speed of the car, the change of the "City" and "Highway" modes is automatic. The radio module detects all speed meters that come across on the way, standing both in the forehead and in the back. Signature technology allows you to minimize the number of false alerts. The device clearly does its job: it catches signals from police products in the X, K, Ka, L. bands.

SHO-ME G-1000 Signature

The radar detector from the well-known Korean company SHO-ME looks, according to reviews, compact and neat. The monochrome display is protected from sunlight by a visor and is perfectly visible to the driver. The company takes a very responsible approach to the issue of updating signatures. Firmware is updated approximately 3-4 times a month, customers can learn about the update by subscribing to the newsletter, and the process itself does not require special knowledge.

In addition, on the site, visitors can leave information about the change in the position of stationary radars and cameras, on the basis of which the developers will quickly edit the database. Other advantages of the model include effective filtering of interference and detection of complex complexes, and the disadvantages include the impossibility of updating data from a flash card, as was the case in SHO-ME devices without a signature.

Neoline X-COP S300

The device consists of 4 spaced-apart units: a switch, a radar module, an OLED display and an external GPS antenna. All parts of the complex, except for the miniature display, are installed in the engine compartment.This configuration is the optimal solution for cars with an athermal windshield, which is known to create a strong radio barrier. The signatures of police radars from 45 countries are stored in memory, but it is important to remember that in many of them radar detectors are prohibited, and therefore must be seized and even destroyed.

Owners of Neoline X-COP S300 are practically not threatened with such troubles (although it is better not to violate foreign legislation), since the "Spectrum" detection systems see them only when approaching close.

Tomahawk Navajo S

The name of the car gadget is associated with the Navajo Indians and their accuracy of throwing tomahawks. On the road, the device really accurately detects road radars, detecting them at a decent distance: directed in the forehead - from 300 m, in the back - from 50. The signature part, according to their own reviews, works flawlessly. Databases of signatures and GPS via microUSB (included) are frequently updated, you can make updates manually by adding useful data.

Initially, you need to get used to navigation, but many settings make the device very pleasant to operate: you can adjust the response speed threshold, the type of notification, the distance of the GPS notification, etc. There are disadvantages, for example, in sunny weather the display screen is difficult to read, but against the background of others "Buns" they are too insignificant.
