Best dash cams with radar detector 2022

A video recorder with a radar detector is a device that combines two functions at once:

• Videography. It is carried out both at the moment of movement and during parking. High detail and clarity in the daytime and at night, in all weather conditions, is important. Movies are clearer and more detailed when shooting in Full HD (1920:1080). More budget models shoot in HD (1280:720) quality. 
• Fixation. Models with a radar detector catch radars and cameras that are installed on the roads and record various traffic violations (speed limit, markings, signs). The system, having caught the camera, promptly notifies the driver about the distance to the radar, and also determines its type. 

DVRs differ in the method of attachment and are fixed on the windshield using:

• Double sided tape. Reliable fastening, while it is important to immediately choose the right place for installation, since the dismantling process is problematic. 
• Suction cups. The suction cup mount on the windshield allows you to quickly change the location of the DVR in the car.
• Magnets. In this case, not the registrar, but the base is glued to the windshield with double-sided tape. After that, the DVR is fixed on this base with the help of magnets. 

There are also models that are presented in the form of a rear-view mirror. They can be used as a DVR and a mirror at the same time, saving free space in the cabin and without blocking the view. 

In order for you to choose the right model and save time, since the range of online stores is very large, the KP editors have collected for you the best DVRs with radar detectors in 2022.

Due to proprietary eMap electronic mapping, the device automatically selects the sensitivity of the radar detector, which allows you not to switch these settings manually. This function is especially convenient in large cities with different speed sections, for example, in Moscow there are roads not only with a 60 km / h limit, which is standard for the city, but also 80 and even 100 km / h.

The parking mode will ensure the safety of the car while parking, the G-sensor will automatically turn on shooting when the car is hit, moved or tilted. Two memory card slots allow, in case of emergency, to make an additional copy of the record for the protocol without having to find a computer. The device is attached using a 360 ° swivel magnetic mount, which integrates three global positioning systems: GLONASS, GPS and GALILEO. 

The manufacturer gives a 2-year warranty on the device.

How to choose a DVR with a radar detector

Since the range of DVRs with a radar detector is very large, it is important to know what to look for:

Frame frequency

The best frequency is considered to be 60 fps, such a video is smoother, and when viewed on a large screen, more detailed. Therefore, a freeze frame is more likely to get a clear image of a particular moment. 

Screen size

In order to display all the necessary information on the screen (time, speed, information about the radar), it is better to choose models with a screen diagonal of 3” and above. 

Video quality

When choosing a DVR, pay attention to the video recording format. The clearest and most detailed picture is provided by HD, FullHD, Super HD formats.

Operating ranges

For the device to be useful and to capture all radars, it is important that it supports the bands that are used in your country. In Our Country, the most common ranges are X, K, Ka, Ku.

functions

It is convenient when the device has additional functions, which include: GPS (determines the location using satellite signals, foreign development), GLONASS (determines the location using satellite signals, domestic development), Wi-Fi (allows you to control the recorder and watch videos from your smartphone), shock sensor (recording is activated at the moment of collision, sharp turn and braking), Motion Detector (recording automatically starts when any moving object enters the frame).

Matrix

The larger the number of matrix pixels, the higher the image detail. Choose models with 2 megapixels or more. 

Viewing angle

So that the image is not distorted, choose models with a viewing angle of 150 to 180 degrees. 

Memory card support

Since videos take up a lot of space, it is important that the recorder supports memory cards with a capacity of 64 GB or more. 

Equipment

It is convenient when, in addition to basic elements, such as instructions and a power cord, the kit includes a USB cable, various fasteners, and a storage case. 

Of course, the best DVRs with radar detectors must provide clear and detailed shooting during the day and at night in HD or FullHD. No less important is the viewing angle – 150-180 degrees (the picture is not distorted). Since the DVR is with a radar detector, it should catch cameras in the most popular bands – K, Ka, Ku, X. A nice bonus is a good bundle, which includes, in addition to detailed instructions, a power cord – a mount and a USB cable.
