    Can you do a video on the Uniden DFR1? It’s only $50 so I think it would be an interesting video comparing it to the conventional budget radar detectors that still cost multiple times more.

    I know this unrelated but i just want to give a shout-out to Uniden for fixing my R7 in a timely and professional manner. My R7 stopped working, after 1.5 yrs in the brutal CA sun and i sent it for repair. I got it back looking like new, with same serial #. They even gave me a new case and mount. Not bad price either.

    I ended up upgrading and got me an escort redline 360c right after I got the max360c mkii on the Amazon big deal days. I love the redline. I upgraded from my vantrue n4 to the n5 as well and got the hardwire kit also for it. Really clean setup

      @@VortexRadar I drive a 2020 f150 super crew cab. I have the main to the right of the rearview mirror and about all the way up to the headliner. The front interior camera does a better job at covering more of the driver side than the 4 did. The back camera I have it almost in the middle of the back glass, but I have a sliding window so I can’t put it exactly in the middle. It does a great job of covering the interior from the back glass. I’ll send you some video and pictures on fb when I get a chance. My interior fuse box is at the floor on the passenger side, extremely easy to hardwire.

    • @VortexRadar
      @VortexRadar  Před 5 měsíci +1

      I’ve got it installed in my car now, yeah. I like it for ride share drivers with the integrated interior cam and big LCD so passengers know they’re being recorded. For the cloud stuff, obviously Blackvue is gonna be the winner. On the whole I prefer the Viofos over the VanTrue though,

    • @hockeycop28
      @hockeycop28 Před 5 měsíci

      Thanks for your quick response. I am going to give Viofos a closer look. I emailed VanTrue to ask a technical question and never heard back, so I'm skeptical of their support or substance beyond their Amazon storefront. I really wish Garmin offered cams with similar features because their app/cloud service really works well. Thanks again! @@VortexRadar

    Im looking to buy a radar detector for the first time and I was debating between the uniden r4 and the radenso ds1. I have an 05 E55 and i was leaning towards the ds1 simply because i have a bluetooth adapter for music in the cigarette lighter and the ds1 can be connected to the car via usb port. Another option is to get a 2 12V adapter off of amazon so i could connect the r4 AND my bluetooth adapter. If someone with more radar experience could help me out i would greatly appreciate it!

    Hey Vortex, love your videos! Have you tested the R7 International firmware v1.50 for RDD immunity? I know the creator touts it as such, but I find it hard to believe a firmware modification alone can make a detector invisible when it typically takes a combination of hardware and software engineering to do such. Please keep up the great work :-)

    Considering the A139 Pro 2/3ch, I don't really need the screen, but is the upgraded rear cam worth dealing with the bugginess of the A229? I'm fine with having to update firmware, but replacing units for lens issues is not really acceptable imo and a huge pain.

    Quick question im confused.@ 5:39 also @ 6:49 you state you are running this in your car. Why run two cameras or did you make a mistake? Usualy if you study these cameras this closley, for me i would probably choose the one you run and roll the dice because i would think you are running the one you think is the best based of your research but when running 2 cameras at the same time i can not base a purchase off that any longer. Thanks in advance for your reply if you make one.

      The R3 and R4 are very close in price. The R3 came out in 2017 so its reaching the end of life as a model where as the R4 is new and has many added features so if you find them within $30-$40/of each other I would spend the extra on the R4. That said the R3 is still a solid detector it just won't be getting a lot of updates and its filtering isn't as good these days.
