SPEED CAMERAS - FULL DETECTION 13/01/2004

User recommends the product

Advantages Radar/Laser and GPS Speed Camera Detection
Disadvantages False Alerts and The Horrible Monthly Charge

THESE UNITS ARE NOT A LICENCE TO SPEED AND I DO NOT ENDORSE SPEEDING. THIS IS MEARLY A REVIEW OF THE PRODUCT. IT IS PROVEN THAT PEOPLE WHO USE THESE UNITS HAVE 24% LESS ACCIDENTS. BY KNOWING WHERE CAMERAS ARE THE OVERALL AVERAGE SPEED MUST DECREASE. WHAT DOES THE UNIT DO (IN SHORT) This unit will basically tell you how fast you are travelling along the road and will also tell you where speed traps are. It just sits on your dash board and gives you a visual and audio warning that you are approaching a speed check zone. RANGE SETTING The range can be varied so that if you are on a motorway you ... more

Why do i need a speed trap detector? 28/12/2004

User recommends the product

Advantages Detects everything known to man - almost!
Disadvantages Expensive to buy and ongoing update costs

Firstly, i do not condone the breaking of speed limits but along with my review of this product i will also explain my reason for purchasing it. I purchased my Snooper from In Car Express who are a automotive specialist in Cambridge. They have an excellent website and their prices are very competitive. I can recommend them. I actually purchased the S6-R Plus which is exactually the same model as the S6-R apart from the display. The Plus has a relaxing blue display compared to the original green one. This Snooper consits of three components; the main display; the laser/radar detector; the GPS ... more

S6R - An opinion 28/10/2003

User recommends the product

Advantages easy to operate, accurate, good value, free downloads for 6 months, detects both radar and laser as well as providing locations of speed cameras.
Disadvantages subscription for downloads to update database after six months

The GPS unit was easy to install and came complete with fixings for ease of installation. The RLD was a little more tricky but again the fixings are provided with detailed instructions of how to install. You can have the RLD mounted on the dashboard as well but I thought this made the windscreen look cluttered. The GPS unit has to be registered. Once registered you need to download the database of speed cameras to the unit. A modem lead is supplied to connect to a telephone line in order to do this. Once this has been done the unit can be used. The GPS unit identifies the type of camera you ... more

Snooper S6R & S6RLD 12/01/2009

User doesn't recommend the product

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

RUBBISH. These are a very expensive con. Not only that, having one lead you into a false sense of security. I have the S6R & S6RLD laser. The unit itself works fine, but you need to keep up with the updates - I could not download them for some time, which was very annoying. The laser picks up traffic lights, mobile phone masts and overhead power lines. BUT NOT Police hand held lasers. I have been stopped twice and the laser 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 ... more

Tried lots but this was the best 05/10/2004

User recommends the product

Advantages Easy to use, good value
Disadvantages Finding a stockist!

This product was recommended to me by a friend. I have two sets of speeding offences on my license... both for really minor offences and I needed to both slow down and to be more aware of my speed. Changing to a slower and lower cc vechicle, I decided to look around for the best detector and took advise from anyone and everyone. I know that some people believe that these products are like a license to speed when the radar guns are not around but I felt that it would help keep me on the straight and narrow and also avoid another penalty. I tried to locate this product everywhere and in the end ... more
