Please allow me to snoop

Advantages: simple installation, easy to use, detects all speed cameras up to 2 miles away
Disadvantages: bleeps an clicks are annoying

...I bought a second hand Snooper S5-R from my brother in law, a device he had used without issue for 3 years. When originally purchased it cost £199.99, yet I managed with a sweet smile and much begging to get it for £50. The Snooper is a small black box powered from the cigarette lighter of the car and sits on the dashboard alerting the driver to static speed cameras (GATSO) and mobile laser speed cameras. When I say that the box is small I mean ...
...I would strongly recommend the Snooper S5-R. It works and works well, requires no software or updates meaning that once it is positioned in the car it is ready to go and ready to save your licence from endorsement. It does however lose one star from the rating because the bleeping and clicking can get very irritating. ...

Review of Snooper S5 R

A great device, well worth the money!

Advantages: Great preventative measure, easy to fix & use
Disadvantages: A little over-sensitive!

...that wasn't over sensitive (the Snooper S5 was prone to this) and that covered all 'bands' (i.e the frequencies that the camera sensors 'emit' on). The SD815is was a relatively new model. It was extremely small and compact and covered the 5 bands. I bought it directly from the Snooper website (www.snooper.co.uk) as they had the most competitive prices. I paid online (Switch) and my Snooper arrived within 2-3 days. It was well packed and once I had ...
...bigger than the palm of your hand), a lead (to connect the device to power source in the car) suckers and velcro. Once I had decided to use the suckers (just make sure the sensor receptor area is clear from obstruction) and plugged it into the cigarette lighter, that was it! You can opt to have 'city' setting (makes the device less sensitive.) It either 'bleeps' or 'blinks' depending on the band that is 'received'. This can be set off by CCTV cameras, ...

Review of Snooper SD815is

Ummmmmm...

Advantages: Database constantly updated, easy to set-up
Disadvantages: ...the quiet moments worry me!

...new buildings overnight. The Snooper S3 GPS, Laser and Radar speed camera detector is one of the only systems on the market to combine all three technologies. In essence it detects: Gatso safety cameras, Specs camera systems, Truvelo cameras, Digital cameras, accident hotspots and Laser guns! The database seems fairly extensive (certainly round Stafford), and is updated every other day, so less of a worry with new cameras going up and leaving ...
...UK speed camera database Snooper AURA speed camera subscription - £2.99 a month, £7.99 a quarter, £29.99 a year and comes with a 2 Years manufacturers guarantee I am not sure of the longevity of this product, as keeping your eyes on the road and your speed seem a more reliable option! Fits easily in your pocket or bag at journeys end, and plugs straight into the cigarette lighter for charging. It seems to me to have moments of incredible laziness, ...

Review of Talex GPS Speed Camera Detector

Snooper S6R & S6RLD

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: False Sense of Secuity - Picks up everthing EXCEPT Speed Detectors

...did not detect them. So Snooper telling me that they couldn't have been pointing it at me is just wrong!! I sent the whole lot back to them just before Christmas and it has now been returned to me. They say there is nothing wrong with the laser and they have changed the phone number in the unit. When I asked if I would get a refund for the Subs as I had not been able to download anything I was told no!! Not happy and bitterly disappointed. ...
