Hello from Kuwait.

I am in Kuwait and here are a lot of speed cameras and red light cameras. I am thinking of getting a detector of some kind, just here learning before i buy one.

Hi Jon, and welcome to the forum!

If you get a chance take a peek at the "Rules and Regulations" on the sticky note in the Intro folder. Unless you already have. In which case...nevermind.

Okay, now I'm not terribly familiar with the Internet situation in Kuwait...errrr...in fact, I'm not terribly familiar with ANY situation in Kuwait...but if you were stateside I would suggest investigating an RD unit compatible with the Escort Live! app, meaning also GPS capable, either internal or via your smart phone. The red light camera's over here don't always operate on K or Ka, some are simple motion detectors and impervious to being detected. The Escort Live! app has these lights "tagged" and the program notifies you about it's being there by GPS position, not by "reading" any signal.

Another option (over here at least) is an app called Waze...doe's similar, even has added benefits, but does not communicate with your RD unit.

Hope this is helpful.

Ride safe,

CR

Welcome! Vitronic units all ALL OVER the ME!

The Vitronic "PoliScans"(not radar,but are actually IR systems) & other similar sys. are very,very difficult to detect as they are designed to defeat radar detectors...even the very best high-end models that are quite expensive.Best advice is to drive the speed limit & be extremely careful at red lights !
IR "Jammers" are effective against some speed detection systems.

Had some delay in researching. Have work and what not here. Thinking of the V1.
