Type of review

The radar part is normal. I would return it to the store only because it is really hard to hear. I tried to install in different places it is useless, there is no volume.

Pros
  • Compact and nice design
Cons
  • Nuu is very quiet, in the city when music is playing in medium mode, the radar is almost inaudible, and on the highway it is generally unrealistic to hear ! Huge omission of the manufacturer! The strange work of the light sensor, in the dark, instead of dimming, on the contrary, adds brightness to the screen. Gets hot.

I'm impressed! Exactly the product deserves your attention.

I have been using this radar for a couple of months now and I have never had a single complaint about it. It fits comfortably and doesn't fall off. It is also easy to use and easy to set up. Well, with his direct duty, he copes just fine. In general, in the end, I did not have to regret that I chose this particular model and will continue to use it in the future.

Im amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

An excellent radar, using it for the third year and never regretted that I bought it. Silverstone F1 supports ates of all its devices, and not all manufacturers do this. Anyone looking at this model, I recommend to buy! Different pros: Device support! Regular database and firmware ates. Easy to ate with a special utility, anyone can figure it out. The ability to set truncated voice messages, which is much more convenient when everything is said in full. Excellent radar reception. Accurate work…

Im amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

I often go on business trips in my car. Often received "letters of happiness". A friend advised me to buy a radar. I found a suitable option and ordered. I am very pleased with the work of the radar detector, the detection range suits me. Easy to set up, did it myself. The prompt volume is adjustable. In general, I am very pleased with this radar detector model.

There are pros and cons, think before buying.

I have been using it for 1.5 months, I have not figured out everything, a budget device for those who do not wind kilometers throughout 2022 and neighboring countries. Has pros: works on radars installed in known places (I have not yet tested it on a "foreign" road) Has cons: false alarms on the sliding doors of stores, on rear-view cameras, not all radars recognize, although they give an alarm signal.

Above in the pros and cons described as it is. The only thing I want to note is that the shortcomings are minor. The buttons only show themselves on a broken road, and it takes about 1-2 minutes to set up, and then when ating the firmware about once a quarter, or even less often.

Pros
  • Minimum false positives. Regular ates. Support. The presence of a light sensor for the display.
Cons
  • The buttons are rattling. You have to reconfigure after the ate.

I bought a Hong Kong Z DVR for long trips to work. In general, he has proven himself more than well. A minimum of false alarms from oncoming cars and an extensive base of police cameras allow you not to be distracted by trifles and keep the desired speed limit. The response range is also very pleased, you can quickly respond, slow down and avoid fines for exceeding. I highly recommend this device!

Pros
  • I liked everything, I recommend
Cons
  • No

A very good device, especially considering its low cost. Unlike my old street storm, which became constantly buggy and gave false positives, this one is on a different level. Since I am a trucker, it is important for me that there are no false positives. ates the database of cameras, which is very important for me. In general, while everyone is happy, and then we'll see how he shows himself

Pros
  • No false positives. ated. Good detection range
Cons
  • Did not reveal

It catches cameras and radars with a bang, yes, sometimes there are false positives, but this is the case everywhere, let it work better once again, but it won’t miss anything. With the detection range, too, everything is fine, there is enough time to slow down, unless, of course, you fly at a speed of under 200. It looks pretty, the mount is good, the menu is understandable, everything can be customized. The price is not the lowest, but I think it's worth it. I often drive on the highway and…

Pros
  • It catches cameras and radars with a bang, the mount is good, the menu is clear
Cons
  • Have not found

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

I have been thinking about purchasing a radar for a long time, and only the other day I was finally able to buy it. After reviewing several models and comparing their characteristics, I gave my preference to SilverStone F1 Hong Kong Z. As a device, I was not disappointed after the first trip out of town, I identified and notified in advance about all portable cameras, and not only portable cameras. Not a single false positive for 2 hours on the road! The model is compact, has a voice…

Pros
  • The model is compact, has a voice alert, several modes, the alert does not distract from the road, the display is convenient, a minimum of buttons, easy to set up, instructions in 2022 are included, the wire is long
Cons
  • did not find

Best thing for the money, glad I did it.

I bought this radar detector on the advice of my colleague for business trips. I want to note that it is easy to use, there is a memory settings. The radar accurately determines and signals in advance about the cameras, thanks to it I have no violations. You can adjust the volume of the alert signal so as not to interfere. Looks stylish and has a good mount, never fell. The item is very useful and for me the price is quite reasonable.

Pros
  • Memory settings, accurate operation, volume control
Cons
  • Did not find

My old radar detector served faithfully for several years, but very often began to notice false positives. Decided to change. I recently took this gadget for myself and did not lose. It copes well with the definition of cameras and radars. Everything is well done, the menu is simple. If you set up the smart mode for yourself, then you can drive without problems. I noticed that if you select the "City1" mode, then false positives do not occur, and when using the "Route" mode, it reacts to some…

Pros
  • It copes well with the definition of cameras and radars. The menu is simple and clear, everything can be customized.
Cons
  • there are false positives

In general, the detector is on "5 with a minus")) It catches emitting radars perfectly, KRIS can smell it in the forehead almost a kilometer (700 meters - exactly), and in the back for 200 meters. Set sensitivity = 3. GPS catches just as quickly. I note that the detector is located on the panel (its view is partially blocked by a border) behind heated glass, which, apparently, does not interfere with it at all. I liked the screen - very clear, beautifully displays everything, although at first…

Pros
  • Detection range Minimum false positives Screen Sound
Cons
  • The buttons are rattling (duct tape helped). Still, it is not solid for a detector of this level to have rattling buttons. GPS has a significant error Functionality - see comment.

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

Prior to that, the Leman model was available, which perfectly coped with the tasks assigned to it for 3 years (we went to the south several times, interregional trips). The absence of fines for exceeding (I try to comply with the rest of the traffic rules) is probably a sign that Leman honestly recouped his price. Recently I decided to purchase a "flagship" from Silverston - the Hong Kong model. After the acquisition, I managed to travel on the M5, in the republic. I’ll immediately note that…

Pros
  • Detection range of radar systems, database
Cons
  • In 2022/20 in Bashkortostan, a large number of Avtohuragan complexes were installed (they are not detected by the radar detector, because they do not emit anything), which are still not included in the database of radar complexes (the last time the radar detector was ated was 04.052022)

Average quality, not an outstanding product.

They promised a lot, but did not do anything new. As I understand it, now all manufacturers of signature radar detectors have the same problems. In "Trace" they yell at everything, but in all other modes (signatures, super-quiet, signature, city) everyone has different names, but the essence is the same, an almost guaranteed fine for the latest low-noise radar models.

Pros
  • Compact, well informed on the basis of GPS, the detection range of old models of radars in the "Route", "Auto display brightness mode".
Cons
  • In the "Route" mode, the declared Z-signatures do not work (at all), it works for everything in a row (dead zone sensors, active cruise control, etc.), in the "City-1" mode it does not detect the Kordon solution , and the "Oscon" and "Skat" solutions (their signatures are not in the database of this radar) in the "Trace" will be detected almost upon the fact of the passage to the "forehead", and the "back" will be silent. Very bad. The compass needle only takes up space on the display, a stupid option.

A good product at a good price, I advise you to try it.

Now almost all operators have begun to put tripods in the side, in the bushes and in the opposite direction, which makes this radar useless. Different pros: Excellent radar, Sees oncoming traps very far in a straight line, enough to slow down if cornering or mountainous terrain. Got cons: Signature Z filter does not work with all cars (base of false signals from cars). Well, the most important minus is that it almost doesn’t work out traps in the back, it works almost very close and, of course,

I thought it would be better, but overall not bad.

It was bought about a year ago to replace the already outdated Supra Ig68vst, which got false positives. The first thing I didn't like was the extremely quiet speaker. Alas, an ajar window at a speed of 100+ mph almost completely drowns out speech (it stands in the area of ​​​​the rear-view mirror) and radar signals, similarly in the case of music. The second disappointment is ates, or rather the mechanism of these. When you connect the usb cable to detect the connection, you have to wait 30-40

Pros
  • Relatively inexpensive, with the latest firmware versions, good functionality.
Cons
  • ates, the work of the RD itself, the latest firmware versions.
