Editor's Summary
I'll admit, I wasn't exactly stoked when I got this combo as a birthday gift. But after using it for a while, I've gotta say it's been a real eye-opener. The radar on this thing is seriously impressive - it picks up any camera on the road, no matter what kind it is. It's caught some false alarms, but the range is insane, sometimes detecting cameras up to 3-4 kilometers away. It's been a wild ride, let me tell you.

I'll admit, I wasn't exactly stoked when I got this combo as a birthday gift. I mean, I wouldn't have splurged on it myself, but thanks to the giver, I'm glad they did.
The radar on this thing is seriously impressive. It picks up any camera on the road, no matter what kind it is - Amata, poliskan, coridor, platon, auto-dorries, even auto-uragans. It's like it has a sixth sense for detecting them before they even come into view. There's different modes for different situations - Smart, Megapolis, Quiet City, City, Highway, Turbo. I've found Smart mode to be the most useful, as it automatically switches between highway and city modes. It's caught some false alarms on the highway, but the range is insane - sometimes it detects cameras up to 3-4 kilometers away! In the city, it's usually accurate to within 1-1.5 kilometers.
I was a bit skeptical at first, but the instructions and settings are all in Russian, so it was a breeze to set it up. The built-in battery is a nice touch, and it never loses its GPS signal. It automatically sets the date and time every time it connects to the satellites. The GPS module is solid, as I've never lost my signal once.
It also has a speedometer, which is a nice feature - it always shows your current speed on the screen.
I haven't had a need to watch the footage on a big screen, as it's always clear and crisp on the device's display. The colors are bright and vibrant, and it even performs better in low light conditions than my own eyes do. It doesn't get blinded by headlights, either.
What really stands out about this device, though, is its value for money. For the price, you're getting top-notch quality and functionality. It's been working flawlessly without any issues or glitches.
One thing to consider is that you can connect a second rear camera for parking, but that's an extra purchase. I haven't needed it yet, but when my wife gets her license, we might think about it.
