15 best video recorders with anti-radar (2 in 1)

DVR with a radar detector (or as it is mistakenly called "radar detector") is a popular combo gadget designed to save space on the windshield of a car. In some cases, buying a combined device can save up to 30%. And if earlier such devices lost to mono-directional variants, today manufacturers have learned to make hybrids that record video quality and promptly notify the driver about the approaching camera.

But first we make a small digression. In the article we write "radar detector", Although in fact we mean by this word"radar detector". The fact is that 90% of users do not see the difference. Although the difference is significant. Antiradar is a device for jamming or distortion of the radar signal. That is the task of anti-radar - to confuse the radar. You can drive at a speed of 200 km / h past the radar and go unnoticed. In Russia, and in many countries of the world, such devices are prohibited by law. In turn, the radar detector only detects the presence of radar, picking up the signal at a certain frequency. This is a harmless device, which, unlike the anti-radar, can be used according to the law.

We now turn directly to the study of the best models of DVRs with radar detector. Unlike mono devices, many functions must be implemented here. When selecting candidates for our rating, we took into account the following characteristics and indicators:

1. Definition level of fixed cameras
2. Viewing angle
3. Video Resolution
4. Write speed
5. Sensitivity radar detector, supported ranges
6. High-quality GPS-informer
7. Convenient mount
8. Compact size
9. Maximum size of supported memory cards
10. The presence of night shooting

This is just an incomplete list of what the car owner wishes to see in the purchased “2 in 1” device. However, as our studies have shown, today it is practically impossible to find a combined DVR in which all the above listed functions are implemented at the highest level. Absolutely every device has its drawbacks, even in premium models with a $ 400 price tag. In some, the camera is poorly implemented, in others - there are problems with the operation of GPS.Very often, you can hear complaints about the quality of the definition of stationary cameras - this disease, according to users, suffers 99% of the devices (maybe not in the case?).

In general, and in general, paying attention to both the technical characteristics and the opinion of car owners, we have compiled two ratings of the best 2 in 1 combined devices: a DVR + radar detector.

The best inexpensive DVRs with anti-radar: a budget of up to 10 000 rubles.

3 Playme P200 TETRA

Much inferior in technical characteristics to its closest competitors, the Playme P200 TETRA DVR ranked third in the ranking. By and large, nothing remarkable in the functionality of this model, we can not distinguish. Video resolution is average (1280x720). Viewing angle - 120 g., Not a little, but not much, road signs will be removed, but on wide roads it may not be enough. There may also be problems with work in the winter, because the operating temperature range is from -10 to +45 grams. The maximum size of a memory card is only 32 GB. For comparison, KARKAM Combo 3 supports 120 GB, that is, four times more. Of course, the memory capacity may not be enough to store a long history.

Reviews of this DVR can be found a lot. But you need to be careful, because there are a lot of openly false reviews that store managers and other interested people leave. This applies not only to this particular model, but also to all devices "2 in 1" of our rating. Be that as it may, the advantage of the Playme P200 TETRA is the price, which is lower than the closest competitors. Although, many probably prefer to pay a little extra and take more functional devices 2 in 1.

2 Sho-Me Combo # 5 A7

If the quality of the DVR is a priority for you, and only as an addition to the radar detector, we advise you to pay attention to the budget device Sho-Me Combo № 5 A7. Of the models in question, this DVR has the highest video resolution — 2304x1296. It also features the presence of Full HD mode at 1080p. Of the models under consideration here is also the most capacious battery - 280 mAh. And all this with a price tag of not more than 10 000 r.

The Sho-Me Combo # 5 A7, in its essence, is an updated model of the popular Sho-Me Combo # 1 DVR. However, in the Sho-Me Combo No. 5 A7 the viewing angle is 20 degrees. more (140 grams. versus 120 grams.), the maximum resolution of the video is higher, the frame rate is higher and a number of new functions have appeared, such as WDR, write protection, etc. At the same time, the new Combo No. 5 costs almost 2 thousand rub. Cheaper "old" Combo №1.

But without flaws, it was not. Judging by the reviews, the device has a flimsy case, the buttons "walk" and are not made thoroughly. Some users have complaints about hangs and glitches.

1 KARKAM Combo 3

We deservedly assigned the first place in our rating to a device of Russian origin - KARKAM Combo 3, one of the best-selling 2-in-1 combined devices. This is a model that perfectly combines the functions of a DVR, radar detector and GPS informer. This is the only device in the budget price segment that can determine coordinates using the GLONASS system. In tandem with GPS, terrain orientation will be faster and more accurate.

In KARKAM Kombo 3 you will find one of the best video details, since the shooting is done at a resolution of 1920x1080. The viewing angle here is also the best among the considered devices - 160 grams. Absolutely all the road signs and cars-neighbors will fall into the frame of the DVR.

Distinguishes this model and the presence of the function of night shooting, WDR function and photo mode. There is also a motion detector that allows you to turn on recording only when motion is detected in a frame.KARKAM Combo 3 is the best 2 in 1 video recorder in terms of functionality and specifications.

KARKAM Combo 3 "in work"

The best video recorders with anti-radar: a budget of up to 20 000 rubles.

3 Neoline X-COP 9000

Closes the top three "brainchild" of the company Neoline. Model X-COP 9000 is one of the most successful in the line and for several years serves faithfully to many car owners.

The price is the most “tasty” that the Neoline X-COP 9000 has. Purchase will cost about 20–30% cheaper than buying two other DVRs of our rating. The user will be satisfied with the image quality, since the model is equipped with an image stabilizer, which is designed to reduce jerks and jitter when shooting video. In turn, the WDR function will improve the image quality when the headlights of oncoming cars or the bright rays of the sun.

Of course, the device is not without flaws. If the quality of the anti-radar is paramount to you, then buying a Neoline X-COP 9000 is not the most ideal solution. The device easily detects many radars, including "Robot", "Cordon", "AMATA", "Arena", "Binar", "Vizir", etc. But false alarms and too long thinking of GPS are too frequent. This, by the way, affects almost all Neoline combo devices. At least, this is evidenced by numerous reviews of car owners.

2 Neoline X-COP 9700

Second place in the ranking of the best we gave the device of Korean origin - Neoline X-COP 9700. This is the most expensive video recorder with a radar detector of our rating.

Positive reviews indicate an interesting design, user-friendly touch screen, the presence of a site with firmware, adequate technical support. In general, there should be no problems with warranty situations, since Neoline service centers are located in all major cities of the Russian Federation.

As a DVR, this device works on 4+. Video resolution is 1920x1080 - at the level of the best in our rating. There is a touch screen, motion detection in the frame, the function of recording events in a separate file. The size of supported memory cards X-COP 9700 is in the lead. Still, 64 GB, it is 2 times better than 32 GB in the leader of the rating DATAKAM G5-CITY.

But there are complaints about antiradar. Some car owners complain of a long search for satellites, frequent false alarms. This is evidenced by numerous reviews on Yandex Market. Whether it is real facts or tricks of competitors is hard to say. In any case, one can be convinced of the veracity of these reviews only by testing the device in practice.

1 DATAKAM G5-REAL MAX-BF Limited Edition

The leader of the rating is DATAKAM G5-REAL MAX-BF Limited Edition, one of the most advanced DVRs in the DATAKAM line-up. The device is equipped with an ultra-modern lens with 7 lenses and aperture of F-1,6, which significantly increases the quality of video recording at night. We also note the presence of a polarization blend filter that protects the lens from sunlight and glare.

One of the main features of the G5-REAL MAX-BF is a unique magnetic mount with through power through the holder. Many users appreciate the advantage of such an attachment because it eliminates the problem of hanging wires. The installation on the magnets takes a matter of seconds and you can also quickly remove the DVR from the mount, for example, to take it home for the night. Very comfortably!

The principle of operation of the magnetic mount is shown in the following video:

We also note the presence of 2 slots for memory cards up to 64 GB, built-in GPS, GLONASS, G-sensor and self-diagnosis system. To the anti-radar there are no complaints from car owners.

The best DVR with premium anti-radar

3 Street Storm STR-9970BT

One of the most successful models in the line of the company "Street Storm". Premium combo device can record high-quality videos in the resolution of 2304x1296. This is achieved thanks to the well-coordinated work of the Ambarella A7LA50D processor and the best video, the OmniVision OV4689 sensor. The DVR can shoot in Super HD 1296p, Wide Full HD and Full HD c Real HDR with high details. The number of megapixels in the camera - 4, and this is also the best indicator among competitors. In terms of quality (detail) video, we can safely put this model in the first place in the rating.

The device stuffing includes all modern functions and dopa: a shock sensor, a copy of the protocol, a WDR function, data stamped on a video recording, a band control, and so on. The lens consists of 6 layers of glass and has a wide viewing angle of 170 grams.

The manufacturability of the anti-radar does not cause doubts, you will not expect anything else from a device with a price tag of more than $ 350. The radar detector detects all existing radar and laser complexes (arrow, autodoria, robot, kris, etc.), signals stationary cameras using GPS. By the way, if you wish, you can turn off the "K" and "Ka" ranges, which unloads the processor and increases the detector "reaction".

2 ARENA PRO 9900

The DVR due to the installation in the rearview mirror and fasteners, similar to the standard, does not require the connection of additional wires and does not take away the valuable viewing area. The model, if judged by the reviews, copes well with the direct function, since it allows you to record in the autostart mode and instantly watch the videos with high definition of the image, and is also capable of working in the photo mode. The built-in radar detector for 400 meters (in urban conditions) or even 800 (on the highway) warns of police radars in the direction of travel - it does not let Strelka or Avtodoria pass through.

The device is integrated with a GPS navigator module, so the driver quickly navigates in unfamiliar terrain and learns about traffic jams in a timely manner. Software solution based on Android, MTK processor with a frequency of 1.3 Hz, built-in Wi-Fi and 1 GB RAM provides timely database updates and fast information processing. For storing records of memory is enough - 16 GB internal and another 32 GB additional. 5-inch screen diagonal, viewing angle of 175 ° and high-quality matrix SSD, as well as the presence of many additional features such as parking radar, make this device very easy to use.

1 Neoline X-COP R750

Neoline X-COP R750 is the leader in the rating of premium models, the novelty of the combined device from the company NEOLINE. The manufacturer was able to solve the common problem of DVRs - "disease glare." This was made possible thanks to high-quality optics from 6 glass lenses and an anti-reflective CPL filter. The device is not afraid of glare headlights and reflections on the windshield of the car. It should be noted and "brain" stuffing. The X-COP R750 is equipped with the most powerful Ambarella processor and a Sony sensor, the symbiosis of which makes it possible to record very high-quality video.

Many users can enjoy one of the largest screens in the class - 2.8 ", which is also touch! The big advantage is the availability of Wi-Fi, with which you can transfer recorded videos to a computer, and it is possible to update the data of fixed cameras. Maximum card size 128 GB of memory, also the best figure among competitors in question.

As for the operation of the radar detector (anti-radar), then there should be no problems, since the device is equipped with an intelligent signal processing system of the radar detector and the base of stationary cameras. NEOLINE X-COP R750 can detect 45 types of radar complexes, as well as the passage of intersections, pedestrian areas, bus lanes, etc. Separately worth mentioning the filter Z-signatures, designed to eliminate false alarms and notify the driver only about the real threat.

The best news and updated versions of 2018

3 Blackview COMBO 4 PRO

This model, like Chinese smartphones, amazes with its wealth of functions and its incredibly low cost. True, it has just appeared on the market, and there are no reviews on its reliability yet. But we think it is quickly fixable, since the novelty is really interesting. First, the device maintains video registration with a record resolution of 2304x1296 pixels. Together with a viewing angle of 170 °, this gives an elegant image quality. WDR technology protects recording from exposure to light and balances the contrast of shaded areas. The device also has a shock sensor - in case of an accident, sudden braking or acceleration, the video file is automatically saved in a separate folder.

The radar detector function helps the driver approximately 1 km to determine that the vehicle is approaching the place where police control complexes are installed, to slow down and thereby avoid a fine. GLONASS- and GPS-receiver notify about radarless systems. To update the radar base, simply connect the combo to the PC via the USB port. Judging by the reviews of previous models, it is quite voluminous, so in order to eliminate false notifications, it is necessary to set the sensitivity mode and set speed limits.

 

2 SHO-ME Combo # 3 iCatch

All products of the SHO-ME company are intended for the mass segment, and with each new model, the manufacturer manages to bring out a product that is better in performance than the previous one, but more affordable. The same happened to the iCatch Combo No.3 combined video recorder, which received from its predecessor the well-proven radar part and the new iCatch V35 processor. The latter allows you to record high-quality video, smartly process data from the internal database and GPS sensor, update the lists of cameras and radars, as well as software using a memory card from 16 to 256 GB.

An anti-radar detector is able to detect all known types of radars, signals of laser meters such as LISD and AMAT, determines their strength in the range from 1 to 5. The presence of the “City / Route” mode allows reducing the number of false alarms, and when driving below a predetermined speed alert signal speed filter is automatically turned off. Each user can, if necessary, adjust the volume, dim the display brightness, turn off certain ranges - in general, adjust the parameters of the combo for themselves and, having saved the settings, enjoy all its advantages.

1 Intego Magnum 2.0

Magnum, Intego's previous model, at one time pleased the car owners with excellent performance at a fairly low cost, so they met its updated version 2.0 with a clear interest. The developers decided to replace the already good OmniVision OV2710 with Aptina AR0330 with a higher resolution and the WDR function (high dynamic range). The result of the improvement is not very noticeable during the daytime shooting (the recorder still shoots video with a resolution of 1920 × 1080), but at night the quality of the video has increased significantly - road signs, markings and other road details are clearly visible in the picture.

The antenna of the radar detector was also upgraded so as to reduce the influence of the terrain on the detection and increase the distance at which even a low-power radio signal can be detected. The database has also been updated: 22 radar and radarless systems were added to it, including Cordon, Amata, Avtodoria, Avtouragan, and others. There is also an extensive segment of warnings about dangerous bends, “speed bumps” and other road objects that can be turned off in well-known areas. Custom testing of the radar detectors of this model prove their sensitivity.

3 Artway MD-100 Combo 2 in 1

The first thing that strikes this combo is its price. Surely for 4000 rubles. can I buy a reliable 2 in 1 device?

1 Dunobil ratione

By the time Dunobil Ratione entered the market, the idea of ​​a hybrid video recorder was far from new, but it immediately became popular. The fact is that the manufacturer managed to combine advanced technologies with the flagship filling in the device and leave it in the middle price segment.The device is based on the 7th generation of Ambarella processors - A7LA50 (with support for Super HD video recording) and the OmniVision OV4689 matrix, which is considered to be one of the best CMOS-matrices for night shooting.

Software adjustment of exposure and brightness copes well with backlight processing and dramatic changes in illumination levels, so that the image is very clear, with natural color reproduction. Drivers in the reviews claim that state license plates and the road situation in general see clearly. Testing of the radar part showed that the model with timely notification copes perfectly well, warning about all known complexes, including Strelka, Iskra and Chris.
