SNOOPERSpeed Camera Detector MySpeed XL G2 S5100 Plus Speed Camera Detectors for Cars UK - Police Radar Detectors for Cars - Car Speed Limit Warning Device, Black

the allowed speed always coms later es what you see, but that you get used to.I could place it in the very window corner, so good to see as is the time.In total very happythe Snooper-sat-nav my nephew could place on the dashboard in stead of on the window, fantastic, window is free.But, also without my brilliant nephew, the both snooper items are very good, used both already many years.

I bought this to help me after I’d been caught leaving a 40 into a 30 and so I thought this might do the trick. Driving around roads I know it was showing 60 when in fact it was 30, also showing 60 on stretches I know to be 40. It does update speeds as you progress by means of an audible alarm which because it’s GPS it takes a second or two. Not a problem going faster but you need to know slowing down. As for updating using iOS forget it. The app is useless. No one I can see has managed to connect. It really is a piece of junk as far as I can see. I’m not sure if I have grounds to return it but if I could I would.

I bought my Snooper speed camera detector about a month ago and I am delighted with it. It picks up a number of different speed cameras and warns you if you are going too fast. I would recommend this product to anyone particularly people doing a lot of miles driving.

Negatives - No mobile speed camera alert for known spots. When I quizzed customer service to update this they said its currently illegal to have these on the permanent database. Battery life won't last longer than 2 hours when fully charged, needs a permanent lead plugged in car charger.Updating the database of speed limits and cameras requires a windows pc.Positives - Fixed cameras are all there even if some spots haven't been active for 10yrs+.Big and bold speed limits on display make it easy to see the speed of the road and your vehicle.Alerts for when you go over the speed limit and when the speed limit changes make this a game changer for myself.Dues to the above my mpg has increased by 5mpg.An option to add to the camera database on the device like you can on the saphe would be welcome in further updates.Although it's a little over priced. This is a great device for keeping on the right side of the law and wouldn't drive without it.

I really liked the idea of a dash cam and speed alert in one, and hence why I bought it. However, the camera was terrible (worse than a cheap Amazon one I already have). Hence I ultimately returned it. It's a shame really. For those interested in what you get/how it works...The idea of the unit is: to provide one windscreen or dash mounted device (there is an 3M disc that sticks to the dash and then allows the standard suction cup to stick to that too) that serves as (a) a dash cam, (b) a current speedometer via GPS, (c) an alert as to the current speed limit area you are driving in, and finally (d) a database of speed camera locations that alert you when you're approaching one - these are fixed and previously reported mobile cameras.For (a) the dashcam it is terrible. Very poor quality. Cannot read a number plate on the car you're passing when in a car park when rolling through in the day time. Just for that it's a big fail.For (b) a current speedometer it's great. It has a large display of your current speed and it's probably far more accurate than your current speedo on your car. You can position the device so it's almost a HUD (heads up display) of your speed so you can sort of glance across rather than down.For (c) an alert as to the current speed limit it's great. It always said "30" if I was in a 30; or "50" in a 50. Combined with (b) [current speed] it accurately warned you that you were either speeding or not. Licence saver right there.For (d) you get a "current" database of camera positions (e.g., whenever they wrote the database file of camera positions to disk and packaged the product. From that point on it's slowly going out of date. To be honest that's probably 90 odd percent of camera for the next five years (probably - they don't move all that much). However, to keep it updated you can (optional) subscribe to updates for something like £2.99 per month (or £29.99 per year). **Note:** The device alerts for fixed camera and mobile. However, since it does NOT detect cameras it's based on the idea of "there was once a camera van there at some point but it may not be there right now". Hence you get warned about camera that are not there. I know when I drove along a road I know has a camera van every odd Sunday for a few hours every other month the device pinged but there was no camera. It's OK but it is a false positive alert and makes you swivel your head around looking for a camera if you in an unfamiliar area.Summary: Yes there is a cost **if** you want updates but I wouldn't both personally. The functions of displaying your current speed (accurately via GPS) plus what the current speed limit is is great. Killer features. The database of "most" current camera positions is perfectly fine for me with the option to update as required for a cost is just a bonus. The thing that tanked the whole device is the actual camera quality. What is the point of a dash camera if it is blurred and of low quality. If a car clips your car and keeps driving there would be ZERO chance of recording the registration plate - and that would be in good lighting in the daytime. At nighttime I bet you could determine the make nor model.Nice idea. Fix the camera and produce it for £130 ish pounds and it would be fantastic. Maybe that's asking too much.
