MySpeed DVR G3 SC5900 Plus Speed Camera Detectors for Cars UK with Dash Cam

Same as the SC5900 but without the navigation part. Good accuracy of road speed and speed cameras. Life time speed cameras update. Very poor instruction manual. Best part voice alerts which tell you of the upcoming hazard. Good build quality. Remember to register the unit with Snooper and allow 1 hour before first download.

Worse electrical item I have bought in years. Over complicated to set up. Displayed wrong speeds in several places even with the newest update. Would not loop record and kept asking to format the card when full. Vibration issues with the holder causing rubbish film footage. Way too big for a car. On approach to cameras the listed road speed would dissappear. Back to setting up, need a windows or mac to register and then download two lots of updates. Need to be a NASA engineer to understand their web navigation. On a positive point if it worked the updates are free for life. I've sent the item back as faulty and bought another dash cam from Amazon that was plug and play straight from the box. I strongly advise you not to buy this product.

I really liked the idea of a dash cam and speed alert in one, and hence why I bought it. However, the camera was terrible (worse than a cheap Amazon one I already have). Hence I ultimately returned it. It's a shame really. For those interested in what you get/how it works... The idea of the unit is: to provide one windscreen or dash mounted device (there is an 3M disc that sticks to the dash and then allows the standard suction cup to stick to that too) that serves as (a) a dash cam, (b) a current speedometer via GPS, (c) an alert as to the current speed limit area you are driving in, and finally (d) a database of speed camera locations that alert you when you're approaching one - these are fixed and previously reported mobile cameras. For (a) the dashcam it is terrible. Very poor quality. Cannot read a number plate on the car you're passing when in a car park when rolling through in the day time. Just for that it's a big fail. For (b) a current speedometer it's great. It has a large display of your current speed and it's probably far more accurate than your current speedo on your car. You can position the device so it's almost a HUD (heads up display) of your speed so you can sort of glance across rather than down. For (c) an alert as to the current speed limit it's great. It always said "30" if I was in a 30; or "50" in a 50. Combined with (b) [current speed] it accurately warned you that you were either speeding or not. Licence saver right there. For (d) you get a "current" database of camera positions (e.g., whenever they wrote the database file of camera positions to disk and packaged the product. From that point on it's slowly going out of date. To be honest that's probably 90 odd percent of camera for the next five years (probably - they don't move all that much). However, to keep it updated you can (optional) subscribe to updates for something like £2.99 per month (or £29.99 per year). **Note:** The device alerts for fixed camera and mobile. However, since it does NOT detect cameras it's based on the idea of "there was once a camera van there at some point but it may not be there right now". Hence you get warned about camera that are not there. I know when I drove along a road I know has a camera van every odd Sunday for a few hours every other month the device pinged but there was no camera. It's OK but it is a false positive alert and makes you swivel your head around looking for a camera if you in an unfamiliar area. Summary: Yes there is a cost **if** you want updates but I wouldn't both personally. The functions of displaying your current speed (accurately via GPS) plus what the current speed limit is is great. Killer features. The database of "most" current camera positions is perfectly fine for me with the option to update as required for a cost is just a bonus. The thing that tanked the whole device is the actual camera quality. What is the point of a dash camera if it is blurred and of low quality. If a car clips your car and keeps driving there would be ZERO chance of recording the registration plate - and that would be in good lighting in the daytime. At nighttime I bet you could determine the make nor model. Nice idea. Fix the camera and produce it for £130 ish pounds and it would be fantastic. Maybe that's asking too much.

Excellent product but until I got it I didn't realise how difficult it is to fit on my windscreen without being obstructive. They suggest putting under the rear view mirror but as the modern cars have more than just a mirror it obstructs your view and probably illegal if use there (in my car anyway). Nice that aswell as showing your speed limit and giving out an audible signal if you are speeding, it also has a built in forward facing camera which automatically starts when you start your car so you have camera cover from the get go. Well worth the price as long as you can fit it in a good position.

Have to say at first I was not sure, I replaced my Nextbase dash camera with this one as I was not happy with the recorded video footage. Must say the Snooper is really good. Perfect size, video footage is great and the camera alerts at very accurate and have saved me a few points for sure! I think we all need one of these. Excellent value for money.

Ordered two, both returned. First camera in use I have these issues. Extremely slow to ‘warm up’ locate satellites & display location, speed etc. Once it has sufficient signal strength it still occasionally show crazy 200+mph indications! There is insufficient options on speed camera alerts & even with the latest software installed some camera locations were not warned of despite having been located there for many years. This camera comes with 2 SD cards installed. But don’t format them or a £50 replacement fee is charged for each one. Overall not worth the high purchase cost given the extremely poor operating performance.

Great product works well gives good warning

does what it says on the box
