SAFETY AND USELESS
The price range for the presented radar detectors is almost tenfold - from 1800 to 16 900 rubles. For different money, they offer a wide range of related specialties - from knowledge of the Kazakh language to visualization of the electronic compass. But we choose not an intricate trinket, but a device.
Note that he will ensure our safety only if he doesn’t force the driver to peer into hard-to-read lines on the sub-blind display, let the sunbeams run in the body, reflect in the windshield, and annoy with the rattling of buttons. And do not fall at full speed somewhere under the pedals. In addition, the supply wire should not be pulled by the string, and the sound volume would be nice to easily adjust with a single swipe of the finger. It is precisely these features of the tested radar detectors that we have brought to a table. But the presence of a voltmeter and knowledge of languages were attributed to secondary.

THE BASIC INSTINCT
If you called yourself a radar detector, if you please warn the driver in advance: you won’t reduce, they say, speed - you will worsen your well-being. On paper, all products trump with ranges, frequencies and lightweight promises. But, say, the promise to catch laser radiation in a circular range is, as Bulgakov’s Koroviev would say, a typical case of so-called lies. Gentlemen, what are there 360 degrees! None of the tested radar detectors “saw” the laser “Lira” (the newest and rarest device among traffic cops) even right up to the mark, not even ahead of time. Only one of the “whistlers” squeaked plaintively when he was poked with his nose directly into the emitter, but he was immediately embarrassed by his strikebreaking and fell silent, deciding not to stand out from the crowd. To clear our conscience, we rode back and forth on a test car several times - alas, the Lira still read our speed in front of useless electronic assistants. The result - a complete failure of radar detectors and the victory of a laser device of the latest development.
Laser "Lira" won with a score of 21: 0! Nobody caught her, even at that distance. But on the tracks it is rare
Laser "Lira" won with a score of 21: 0! Nobody caught her, even at that distance. But on the tracks it is rare. Laser "Lira" won with a score of 21: 0! Nobody caught her, even at that distance. But on the tracks it is rare.
However, this is the only major puncture, partly predictable. Only one year ago nobody knew how to catch the same Strelka, and today any device, except for obvious outsiders, does it. This time all the subjects coped with her, but they recognized her from different distances. But "Binar" was caught without difficulty. The CDIP was a little more difficult. But the "Cordon" to two devices was too tough. For lovers of numbers and ratings, we have prepared a table with the results of technical tests. Note that with the equality of the scores, priority was given to cheaper radar detectors.
The same story as with anti-theft: an antidote to known systems has long been found. The radiation of "Binar" was caught by everyone

INSTEAD OF EPILOGUE
We conducted the tests not only on a test track with pre-checked-rechecked radars, but also on real tracks, wrapping them around 2000 km. So, the record of the detection range of the same “Strelka” on the M10 “Russia” road exceeded 4 km!
A year ago, no detector responded to such radars. Now almost everything is catching Strelka

At first, they themselves did not believe it, but then they became convinced: yes, that's right. Most likely, we ran into the ideal signal flow in a specific traffic situation. But who benefits from this if the radar detector begins to crack without a pause?
Sometimes one wants to pull all these “whistlers”, “cobras” and “stingers” out of the nest. The same situation in Moscow, where radars and simulators of those settled on almost every tree.

The historic victory of speed controls over instrumentation for their detection is inevitable. The next step in the struggle for road safety is obvious: sooner or later every car coming off the assembly line will be equipped with an active system for responding to signs, traffic lights, etc. The driver will only have to obey the decision made for him.

There is nothing to praise: “Cordon” did not see, “Strelka” and the CDIP caught late.
20 Crunch 224B
10 20
Estimated price, rub. 2650
The device refused to catch the Cordon and with difficulty caught Strelka. Yes, and the CDIP was not noticed immediately. The only excuse is the rather low price.
19 SQ 520
10 19
Estimated price, rub. 2500
“Cordon” was seen only 300 meters away. Yes, and “Strelka” saw late. But inexpensive (but the absolute champion costs less).
18 Stinger car Z3
10 18
Estimated price, rub. 8800
Late to notice the "Cordon" and "Strelka". Value for money can not be called attractive.
17 Highscreen Black Box Radar plus
10 17
Estimated price, rub. 9000
It’s a good idea to connect a radar detector with a DVR. Excellent rubberized body, compact suction cup with adjustable mount. But neither quick detachment from the suction cup, nor the location of the buttons, nor the control logic are thought out. Yes, and average talents.
16 WHISTLER Pro-80ST En
10 16
Estimated price, rub. 9500
Inactive responds inactive. "Strelka" sees quite poorly. Cordon noticed 200 m later than the leaders. KRIS and "Binar" caught easily. When moving slightly rattles. The price / quality ratio is average.
15 WHISTLER Pro-70ST En
10 15
Estimated price, rub. 6500
Rarely responds to interference. There is no separate segment for Strelka - includes “k5”; discovers her quite late. "Cordon" does not notice immediately. The price / quality ratio is average.
14 SUPRA DRS-56VST
10 14
Estimated price, rub. 3100
The shiny body is reflected in the glass. Electronic sound control is inconvenient. He takes the "arrow" reluctantly, hesitated at the "Cordon". The value for money is very good.
13 Cobra VEDETTA
10 13
Estimated price, rub. 10, 700
Extravagant: rotary display, touch controls, a huge body. In such a screen, a DVR is requested. The instruction is slurred. He sees “Strelka” rather late, but takes other microwave radars from the fly. In general, the idea is strange.
12 Cobra RU 865
10 12
Estimated price, rub. 8500
Tricky settings. Arrow is called so: "K impulse." And catches her with difficulty. But the rest of the microwave radars takes perfectly. There are few false positives. The price / quality ratio is average.
11 SUPRA DRS-i68VST
10 11
Estimated price, rub. 4200
Nice display. A brilliant case with a claim to style glare. Radar catches medium. Value for money is not bad.
10 Crunch Q65 STR
10 10
Estimated price, rub. 3400
Average radar detecting abilities. But the price is not cosmic.
9 Street Storm STR-9000EX
10 9
Estimated price, rub. 7600
Very nice body. Tyagomotin with long initial checks. He doesn’t warn about the “Strelka” and catches it no matter, but he takes the rest of the microwave radars confidently. The price / quality ratio is average.
8 Stinger RX-95USTM
10 8
Estimated price, rub. 16 900
He coped well with the capture of radars, slightly behind the leaders. But the crazy price discourages the desire to purchase it. But there is a remote control.
7 Silver Stone F1 Z77 Pro
10 7
Estimated price, rub. 2800
Radar detector with GPS tracking. You can set the speed range, for example from 80 to 120 km / h - only in this framework will it squeak. It is possible to update the camera database and enter user points in the device memory. It sits well on the mount, but is not always fixed. Shows the strength of the signal, including for the "Arrow". Best in terms of price and quality.
6 Silver Stone F1 Z77ST
10 6
Estimated price, rub. 3600
He did not enter the group of leaders, having stumbled a bit on the Cordon. Very sensitive to car doors and other obstructions. When mounted on a suction cup, the hit is good, but does not snap, resting against an elastic band. The value for money is very good.
5 SHO-ME STR-535
10 4
Estimated price, rub. 2300
Quiet enough. It seems that sometimes he confuses ranges: he writes either Arrow or KU. There are inaccuracies in the instructions. Slightly behind the leaders in the capture of the Cordon. The value for money is very good.
4 SHO-ME G-800
10 5
Estimated price, rub. 3700
A radar detector with GPS tracking entered the group of leaders, receiving the maximum score for our tests. There are false positives. Value for money is good.
3 SHO-ME STR-525
10 3
Estimated price, rub. 2100
He was among the leaders of the test. The price / quality ratio is excellent.
2 Silver Stone F1 X330ST

Estimated price, rub. 1800
Maximum grade in the specialty and confident leadership.
1 Silver Stone F1 Z550ST
10 1
Estimated price, rub. 2100
Excellent value for money and well-deserved victory in the test.

QUESTION ANSWER
Is it true that laser silencers are not radar detectors, and therefore not illegal?
It all depends on the legislation of a particular country. In the USA, for example, in many states even radar detectors are prohibited. But federal laws do not say anything about “laser jammers”. However, a dozen states consider them illegal.
Do radars have an error?
Yes of course. But not the same as automobile speedometers, which always only overestimate the real speed. For radars, the error is symmetrical. Some ± 1 km / h, others ± 2 km / h. In laser devices, the error depends on the device itself and on the measured value: the larger it is, the higher the error. Before delivery to the buyer, all devices undergo state verification. No shifts to the greater or lesser side can be laid in principle: Gosstandart makes sure that the error remains within the given limits. Otherwise, the business ends. According to metrological rules, the error of the stand itself, on which the measuring equipment is verified, must be at least three times smaller than the error of the device being verified. Now measuring calibration stands have an error of ± 0.3 km / h.

Why do I need a self-diagnosis mode, which the radar detector conducts when turned on? After all, no radars are used at the same time …
Self-diagnosis affects only notification mechanisms - visual, voice and light. This, in particular, allows the owner to remember which signal corresponds to, say, Strelka, and which corresponds to the laser. But the answer to the question which of the radars this device really catches, while not getting.

Stickers for numbers appeared in online stores: you stick a number on it and the camera does not see it. Illegality is obvious, but is this technically possible?
Maybe. Frequency-selective surfaces, which have different reflection coefficients in different wavelength ranges, have long been known in both optics and microwave. Therefore, a patch that absorbs light radiation in the visible range (therefore looks black), but reflects in the infrared range (looks white on the screen and merges with the background) will work in principle.

Note that the spotlights in photo radars shine in the dark, in the daytime they are usually turned off. And during the day, in the visible range, the number is read well. In addition, manufacturers of photo radars are starting to use the backlight at the border of the visible range and infrared in the so-called deep red zone. The frequency-selective surfaces of a clear border (here - I reflect, there - I absorb) do not have it: it is blurred, so the backlight on the edge of the visible range and the driver will not be dazzled, and the camera will allow everyone to see at night. In this case, tricks with overlays will no longer work: if you filter deep red, the appearance of the number will change during the day, and this is a completely impudent violation of the law. It’s easier to remove the license plate at all.
