Overview
A windshield in a daily commuter car is the spot for this Escort detector, which warns of radar and laser with spoken alerts and a color OLED display. The Escort Live app shares red light camera and speed trap reports from other drivers.
Digital signal processing and laser sensors give early warnings, and voice alerts keep eyes on the road. Crowd sourced alerts need the phone app running alongside it.
Who it's for
Long distance drivers who want radar, laser and app based alerts together. People moving between several cars may prefer a cordless detector.
Pros and cons
- Full radar band coverage plus laser
- Fast digital processing
- Clear voice alerts
- Crowd sourced app alerts
- App needed for crowd alerts
- Not a police radio scanner
Performance notes
Warning distance depends on terrain, traffic and mounting height with a clear view through the windshield. Digital processing filters false alerts and speeds detection. The SmartCord AutoMute quiets repeated alerts.
