Does unit track red light and speed cameras?

Yes. It will detect the ka band and/or k band that is associated with the device. Will not identify to you to what actually threat is as the possibilities are endless. The k and ka bands are very widley used. Ive had this detector for about a year and I love it.

The device does not have GPS, so while it can detect the presence of a K/Ka signal coming out of the camera/redlight sensor but it will not have access to a GPS database of pre-stored locations. That's the main difference between GPS powered detectors, and ones that aren't. What you get with the V1 is the sensitivity. It is what this product is known for. It can also be used alongside a GPS by using the V1 connection and the YAV1 Smartphone App.

In my state, we don't have red light cameras. But when I have driven through Chicago, it lights all up like a Christmas tree. I bought the cord for $79, which comes with a one year "Live" subscription. It is money well spent. I have also purchased the radar and cord for two family members. They love it as well.

Yes. The motion detection for all devices like this are based on the percentage of change in color in a certain area that is defined by the user. Changing from regular light to the LED's on the camera can trigger a false positive as the ambient light changes..

No, as it doesn't read the speed limit data as a navigational GPS does. You can just get an alarm for a set speed you choose.

It detects cameras and speed traps (that's the main reason I bought it) but with both you have to keep in mind if it's a laser you usually don't stand a chance to react (or it may not even alert you if the officer is good and doesn't shout the windshield) and some cameras shout you in the back just when you pass them so it's almost no time to react. Hope this helped

you must purchase a separate speed sensor,then it will show speed,not included in package

Yes, but there might be small features that do not work with other vender equipment such as this. For instance I can not memorize locations with this one. If I want to do that I have to use the buttons on the detector. But everything else works. I love it and would not drive without it. So great for silencing the unit quickly and having more lights go off when radar is detected. Great unit for the price.

You can extract the speed and exact location you were at if/when you get a speeding ticket. This info is tied to the video file that you can extract from the Camera's memory chip. The software available from Garmin provides that info plus G-Forces that the auto is experiencing at any time. Get the software here:http://tinyurl.com/nfeotvp

I'm answering my own question now, since I bought the Blackvue DR550gw-2ch for myself. I installed it in my SUV and tested the rear camera while the system was in parked mode. The rear camera "DOES" in fact activate and begin recording when motion is detected.

Yes, mine shows my speed in red when I am over the posted speed limit. It is reasonably accurate, but there are some places, such as recent construction where a lower speed is posted on the road, but Garmin shows the normal speed for that area. So you must not depend solely on Garmin for what the actual speed limit is.

No this unit does not serve as GPS for directions (like you would have on a phone or a stand alone GPS). The GPS built within this unit allows for tracking where your vehicle is at in real time relative to fixed red light cameras , speed traps and also displays the current true speed of the vehicle.

Yes this detector has an option to detect speed cameras. Also it can linked up with your computer to get other fdetectors info about speed traps and location of speed cameras.

Yes indeed. Once the red lights start blinking and while looking into the eye spot you'll see a spot that reflects like a flash it'll apear bright red flash that's the lens of the hidden camera. As far with signal depends on what type of electronic is nearby within the room

Yes, it detects light levels and will flash when it is required. I think there are some manual overrides possible but I just use the out of the box auto feature.

I believe it can only follow the remote, there are buttons on the remote to start/stop record, and to activate a high speed tracking.

Yes they do. You can set the cameras to take a pic or run video for a few seconds when motion is detected. They are dormant until motion is detected.

Hello, Detection of speed cameras are from database that must be kept up-to-date. When GPS identifies your location as a camera location. You will receive alarm. You receive Download URL for database with device instructions. The Camera MAY or MAY NOT be in database. Also you can set any location manually so you can be warned.
