How good is it in detecting speed traps and red light cameras?

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

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.

In my experience have a 8/10, but this is because It depend of the conditions of the area (another noise/parasite signals, objects that make interference/block, plane surfaces to rebound the wave signals, etc) but this only affects the distance from the source of signal to your radar detects. You wont regret have it with you.

No they do not detect red light camera's. Try downloading the app WAZE as it does everything from DUI road blocks to red light cams.

Yes. It can read 'live data' from the computer and sensors while driving. It also shows speed and rpm. Look on the Internet for details on this scan tool.

We use it in our motor home to capture stupid people on the road. works great.

Yes. the notion detection software with this card is effective and can be adjusted in both sensitivity and length of time to record after the event.

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.

I think so these things are pretty basic and really versatile just as long as u have a functioning hot shoe for both the speed light and the camera it should work.

By the way. It's already saves me from numerous tickets. Detector has light that you can mount and it flashes. As I would never hear it beeping at 100mph

Unfortunately, you can see the red "flash" although it is faint, it's still visible. If you're wanting to use this to photgraph, prowlers as in people, I would recommend getting the locking cable. We bought our camera to try to catch people going onto our property, as well as to catch the deer or whatnot, the people came out during the day (to swim in our pond), but the deer came out at night. Anyways, the locking cable is really good, and so far we haven't come across a tree that it doesn't fit around. Also, the camera has a built in spot that you can put a pad lock on to keep people from stealing the SD Card, or turning off the camera. Hope this helps.

yes it have motion detection so if someone pss by ypur car it will stsrt recording

No. Red light cameras do not use radar, so a radar detector would never detect them. This will detect speed cameras as they do use radar.

No. This detector doesn't detect traffic cameras. Otherwise great detector. Don't run red lights, they do not ticket for speed.

It will only pick up speed cameras that are "front facing" (i.e. the violation picture is of your front plate). Most U.S. speed cameras are "rear facing" since not all states require front plates. In these situations, you generally won't know there's a camera until after you've passed it (and have already been caught, if you were speeding). It will not pick up red light cameras, as others have noted.

No it does not detect red light cameras. It detects most forms of radar except the most modern, like Proline, that shoot a radar beam about the size of a softball. Really no detectors pick those unless the detection is whole car or happens to be place where the softball sized beam is pointed. In Florida where I live police are not using the newest forms of radar, so it works fine and has never missed a detection here. But when I was in Atlanta October 2014, I got a ticket from a cop using in Proline radar gun.

it can pick well ahaed of the cops radar. what I like is the cops that think they are smart with instant on feature. this unit can pick up so far ahaed it catches teh cop pinging the cars ahead of you. I do not get speeding tickets wit this radar detector and have used this model for 10 years. yes i have sent in older units for updates. escort has a program for this

It can be a good tool to help monitor teen driving but sometimes it is just not all that accurate and can be easily disconnected. The answer to your question is maybe it would be helpful

You will have to load the data base from Cobra which has the speed traps and camera locations. The GPs will track your location and then alert you of a camera.
