How radar detectors work, what GPS camera alerts add, and how portable and custom-installed systems differ.
You may already know how radars work, possibly thanks to our article. But on what principle does the radar detector work?
First, we will explain radar signal detection and GPS camera alerts.
Maintaining a highly accurate GPS database is one of our top priorities. That is why we manage the US/CAN database ourselves in close cooperation with SCDB.info, our global database partner for fixed safety camera data. We update it regularly every month. To ensure the accuracy of the data and quick updates of GPS points, we have developed our own system, which we have been gradually improving for over 10 years. How does it all work, and what does the database contain? You can find out all about it in this article.
A false alert happens when a radar detector alerts to a signal source other than traffic radar. Fortunately, a correctly set modern radar detector keeps false alerts to a minimum.
