Some manufacturers, sensing the fashion for a new type of gadgets, sought to make the “combo” a little blood, equipping the ready-made radar detector with a lens and a folding screen of the DVR. This approach turned out to be a dead end. Today, most of these devices look similar. However, the true quality can be felt only by taking the device in hand.

iBOX Combo F5 is assembled with dignity: uniform gaps, panels and buttons do not play. Matte plastic with a soft touch effect does not slip in your hands and is pleasant to the touch. Trivia? Perhaps, but unfortunately, not every manufacturer pays attention to them. The setup buttons are scattered on the sides and above the screen. At first glance, their location in the blind zone may be confusing, but within half a minute after switching on, wandering around the device menu is possible without any difficulties. Management is intuitive, the keys under the fingers are not confused. The manufacturer iBOX Combo F5 did not become greedy and included many pleasant trifles in the standard package. The epithet "like everyone else" deserves only the mounting suction cup. The rest of the model is superior to competitors. The cigarette lighter socket - with a duplicate socket on the end. Owners of cars with one outlet, having connected the iBOX, will not be left without power for a smartphone or other devices. The length of the wire (four meters!) Is enough to lay it under the skin and bring it out of the ceiling in the area of the interior rear-view mirror. There is an HDMI cable, an adapter for a USB-microSD memory card, a nice case for storing the gadget and even a couple of spare fuses. And of course, the required wire for connecting to a computer via USB. Getting fresh firmware and a camera base is easy. The necessary section on the ibox.su company website is located in the main menu, the update process using a special program takes a couple of minutes. Now, let's go with the device into the car.

The fact that the creation and refinement of the device was approached with a soul becomes obvious immediately after switching on. Instead of the banal designations of the radar detector modes, the competitors have a “track” and a few not always clear “cities” - iBOX offers an original solution. How to use the modes "Moscow" and "Russia", immediately obvious. The third, "Kazakhstan", is intended for trips to the CIS countries, the cameras of which are also in the memory of the Combo F5. In order not to irritate the driver’s hearing with excessive noise, there are several options for cutting off false or simply unnecessary in this situation triggers of the radar detector. You can turn off individual ranges, activate auto-muting, set a speed filter below which the gadget will be silent, allow yourself a certain speeding, or, finally, enable a weak signal filter that allows you to almost completely eliminate false alarms. The type of alerts is set separately for each type of radiation, and the user is given a choice of nine signals. There is a useful function "anti-sleep" (controls the condition of the driver) and a reminder of the need to update the camera database in the device memory. Exclusive iBOX Combo F5 - the ability to bring the speed of the car on the display in accordance with the speedometer. The latter, as you know, always overestimates the real speed. The device has the ability to adjust the readings of the GPS module by up to 7%. Thus, you can see on the device screen the same numbers as on the standard speedometer.

The DVR writes video in Full HD quality (1920 × 1080 pixels) at 30 frames per second, runs on a modern and powerful Ambarella A7 processor. It is armed with a three-megapixel matrix and a six-layer glass lens, has a viewing angle of 170 degrees. There is a shock sensor with sensitivity adjustment and a WDR function that improves the quality of shooting.

In real conditions, the iBOX Combo F5 proved to be great. The radar detector did not annoy an abundance of false positives, even at basic settings. And if you delve into the menu for several minutes and correctly use the capabilities given by the manufacturer, then you can not turn off the radar part even in the city. The warning range does not fall below 200 meters, which is quite enough for warnings. In the fresh camera base loaded before departure, there were all new complexes installed a month or two ago. Outside the city, the iBOX confidently recognized Strelki even before they appeared in the line of sight, for about 1200-1400 meters. Installed in the back of the camera (this is now the fashion in the metropolitan area, and not only in it), the detector confidently detected even 400-500 meters - a very good indicator. He knows the gadget and radarless "Avtodoriya", measuring the average speed on a stretch of road. While the car is traveling in a controlled area, iBOX displays the average speed and signals its excess. Given the qualities shown, generous configuration and several original “chips”, the price of the iBOX Combo F5 - 12, 000 rubles - looks adequate. And against the background of competitors, both the device and its price tag are very good.
