Does this unit have 360 degrees of detection? And if so, is it 360 for both radar and laser? Thank you.

They say it does but I haven't come across anything yet to test if it does. It is very accurate with Ka, which is mainly what is used around where I drive.

No 360 detection but it's pretty sensitive with a good ability to capture reflections around corners.
1700531
no it has around 160 it is very sensitive you have to use it in conjunction with a cell phone to take advantage of all it's features there is an app that must run to give details about cameras speed traps and such

does it need update red light and speed cam location? If it update online will I have to pay for update?

Yes, this unit have 360 degrees of detection for radar but I really don't know if it is the same for the laser!

I cant say if it is 360 degrees. When the cops have a trap set up it gives at least 10 seconds warning...plenty of time (for me) to slow if needed.

I am pretty sure that there is not an actual.laser that beans out. I think it works with a old.cathode and optical sensors .

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.

Hello,This would be a good unit for ranging without a laser. With some practice you should be able to range from point blank to hundreds of yards. -Derek

This has range finding capabilities using the MIL scale reticle. It is NOT a laser range finder, but if you are willing to do a bit of math and practice, it works well. Benefit is that it does not require batteries. An accessory that helps with using MIL scale ranging is the Mil dot master.

Absolutely. It works with motion detection so I've had service people notice it and comment that a neighbor kid was pointing laser at me/them.

I have been using radar detectors for more than 20 years this unit provides the best Ka detection of any unit I have ever purchased. the only drawback is with such high sensitivity it often false alerts and city or urban environments

It is NOT a rotary laser. It does have a wall mount bracket. To clarify it does project a 360 degree horizontal line using a conical optic that is self leveling. A rotary laser spins to project a 360 degree horizontal level line. It is a nice indoor occasional outdoor use level. It is NOT a good choice for regular outdoor heavy duty or bright light conditions such as direct sunlit areas. Great for drop ceilings, chair rail and trim, mounting electrical boxes at uniform height etc. I used it for a deck and it was difficult to see in daylight.

I could not zero in with mine. Returned back to supplier. Amazon and the supplier provided timely response. Not much luck with lasers. Looks like scope and red dots are much easier to mount and reliable.

Yes everything is in the box its has grate features but doesnt have range.this was put to test on our way to Canada from New York City. many times this radar fail to detect or detected with distance of 10ft . I would suggest you look for another brand. My recommendation would be Whistler Radar there cheap model will out preform this model of cobra radar.

The self-level still works...the lock function keeps the laser on while you manually turn the entire unit to get the angle you want. When the lock is not on, the laser will go off when the unit is tilted too far.

Yes, the detector gives different sounding codes based on the type of 'radar' being utilized. There's also a voice recorded in the unit to tell you what it is. So you'll get something like "beep, beep, beep, K-Band" or "... X-Band" or "KA-band" or "Laser Alert". It is, to my knowledge and from my experience with the device, 360 degrees of detection with the possible exception of laser. I think the laser is somewhat limited to a wide front angle and a wide rear angle. Obviously since laser is a light-based wave, the side of the car may be interfering with the device's ability to sense it. I hope this was useful.

I think you have it on backwards. The laser projects onto a reflector in the middle. You can see the small dot on the side if you look at it at the right angle. Just make sure the the big dial is to the front.

I was confused because the question didn't match with the item. Along with you question a photo of the radar detector magic mount was included.Anyway....yes you need to have it mounted on the dashboard because it picks up the radar in a 360 degree circumference.

Doesn´t work. Dont waste your money. My Valentine is out of service, in a box.Laser guns has a very narrow ray pointed directly to the plate. The radar detector can´t get it.

HiMy Valentine is very new, but useless. Most of the radar are not band radar but piezoelectric that has a magnetic in the ground and has no band. Laser gun radar are very pontual and I believe no radar detector can get. With my Valentines I face many times Laser Gun but stayed quiet all the time, did not get the radar.Then is very expensive and useless for me. If in your City you really have band radars can be usefull, but not for Laser Gun.The Valentine is more complete in bands than Escort Max, but...what for?Edgard
