This is a police radar detector...correct? So it tells the driver if there is a police near by when driving?

Hello, this device detect radars that are used by the police.This radar detector is able to detect laser radars and radars based on K, X, and Ka band. It works very nice.

do the police have their own devices to detect whether drivers are carrying radar detectors on board; if so, is this device able to escape that detection?

yes, if you live in a large city it also picks up security systems and automatic doors. I love mine but i do highway driving.

It doesn't detect "police near by when driving", it detects the speed radar that police use WHEN their radar is on. Police are well aware of people using these detectors and keep it off until you fly over the top of a hill and you fall into their speed trap, then they'll turn on their detector and you're done. Hopefully, your detector can detect that happening to the car(s) in front of you and you will know better then to speed as you drive through that area.

This radar detector is very sensitive and you have to disable some bands to avoid false alarms! The manufacturer made sure to cover most of the police radar bands and depedepending on were you are located, you may disable the x band and k band which interfere with the garage door openers. If you're in North America the police usually uses Ka bands. Also you have to select the city setting to avoid other false alarms. Traffic radars are usualy in the x band and therefore can be ignored most of the time. I hope this helps!

It does a very good job with distance when your traveling on highways, at times when my detector went off I saw nothing in the area but I slowed anyway and sure enough there was a patrol car just ahead. I'm guessing that the distance would vary with the amount of "gain" the police have there radar set at. I have had mine for over a year and it works great!!! You wont be disappointed

Detectors may not be for you. It depends on your area, and there is a learning curve. I live and drive mostly in a rural area, but have mine on city. Security systems, hospitals, will set them off, plus most interstate roads, have radars mounted to signs every mile or so, none of these you need to worry about. Weak signals unless they get stronger, you don't need to worry about. It now takes me about a second to spot sign mounted radar.

Would probably help for you to tell us what your purpose is? If it works it will give you the combined speed of you and the oncoming traffic. It may also set off radar detectors.

Its good at speed traps, but I don't think any radar is for detecting red light camera lights. You can actually see them on top of the red light.

I don't see a audio output socket on the unit. I would not buy this unit again, or any other radar detector. The police, at least where I live, are using "instant on" guns. So, by the time the detector goes off you're done. If you are lucky, maybe the guy ahead of you triggered the unit and you will get away without being stopped. It does do a lot of false responses from the radar on auto opening doors. Not recommended.

It is a motion detector an to use it you should use a alarm system the motion detector works great and the alarm system is to notify you when somebody gets to close to your car or truck

Dear, this is a signal detector. This product uses the active laser scanning and passive radio frequency sweep combination method can accurately identify eavesdropping , telephone tapping and digital eavesdropping ,tracking ,vehicle eavesdropping, etc

It detects cameras and speed traps (that's the main reason I bought it) but with both you have to keep in mind if it's a laser you usually don't stand a chance to react (or it may not even alert you if the officer is good and doesn't shout the windshield) and some cameras shout you in the back just when you pass them so it's almost no time to react. Hope this helped

This is a mobility detector. If anybody is about 1 meter from the vehicle it will actvate your car alarm system. It is not an alarm system, it is just an additional device to the car alarm system.

It's a radar capability, it has the internal software and processing power to alert you of the KU band, and I have gotten a KU false alert before. It can pick them up, it's just not often if you ever do.

It would all depend on what radar is used. This one will detect KA, K, and laser which is what is used in the United States. If your police force use these same radar frequencies it should work.

Depends on what band radar they use in your country. You can google which bands the police in your area use. But I do believe most radar is ka and k band. I know there few country that use x band and it covers all those well.

995 has front AND REAR laser detection.But, you are rarely if ever hit with Laser from behind!!Why would a cop do that then have to chase you down ??

Not every police officer has his radar on all the time. I wouldn't worry about it. My history seems to be working great!
