CHEAP Police Radar Scanners | Do They Work?

hi guys welcome back to beers TV UK so I've just received an email saying that my parcels going to be here in a minute being delivered by Hermes or not delivered by Hermes so yeah I'll wait for it to arrive and then we can have a look at what it is my parcel has arrived it's a bit eaten up but it was delivered by armies so let's have a look so what we've got here is principally a police raid a scam so what you do with these is you put this on your dash and we'll let you know where the police officer with a radar gun or just as any police coming up in front of you now what's included in the box is a little mat for it to sit on top of your dash then you have the scanner itself and then you have the power cable which just goes into your 12 volt cigarette lighter for stuff like this if they're being pump installed you can just snip the ends and wire it into the car properly which I'll probably end up doing if this is any good so how does it work basically every single police car will have a police radio in it this doesn't search for the radar gun they're using it actually searches for police radio so as you're driving down the road and there's a police car up ahead this will let you know there's a police car up ahead just in case they're using a gun to check your speed so in the UK I believe these are legal according to or think outfit said they're legal and a few of the websites always check for your country or your state in America if these are illegal for you if you buy one of the easy body or your research first see my biggest question is so these are dirt cheap I think this was about 16 quid and then about five pound postage you can get some really advanced ones of these to go all the way up to they're nearly a thousand pound mark but I've read good reviews about this but I want to see for myself it's really actually worth buying so yeah let's go stick this in the car and see if it's any good I'm now in the car so we'll set it up and I'll talk you through how to do it it's very simple you should be able to figure this one out for yourselves what so the first thing you want to do is just peel off this plastic backing here on the bottom of the iPad then we put this up here like so actually I'm going to put mine over here it's out of sight so I can't actually see it behind my eye drive so we just push that down not actually very earthy sniffing bit whirring but it's an anti-slip map so it should stop it sliding around hopefully right next thing we do is we grab the little unit itself so the front of it is where these two little kind of dome things are the very front so you can see just there there's two little domes that signifies the front of the unit so before I put up there we'll plug it in down here so you can actually see what it does and then we'll plug this in there make sure it's turned off then we plug it into this little port at the side here so you get that drop it in there it's currently off so what we have to do is just push it's been here right so you can actually turn the volume down which I'll do see there's two modes on here you've got highway mode and then city mode so the difference between them is in city mode it's less sensitive so when you're just you know driving around town and you're not doing high speeds it won't try and pick up things further away but in the highway mode it becomes a lot more sensitive and it aims further away so it's basically more sensitive to signals in the city it can be quite annoying apparently for more read online so we'll put on the - put in highway mode oh and all of this here don't worry if I decide to keep this and I've decided I like it I will probably end up just cutting the cable and wiring it in to probably the footwell lights or something like that I live pretty much the middle of nowhere this is only for my kind of long drives around here Burnham sort of area so give me a couple of days and I'll report back on whether this works so I'm back I've used us now for about two days and I've had it come on twice and both times there was a police car present the other day I was going down the road you know at 50 and it was in a 50 zone and sure enough it alerted me I waited a couple of seconds and then I saw a police car parks up in a lay-by so it does work the only thing I'm concerned about is if you were doing like ninety or a hundred but you shouldn't be anyway I reckon that it will pick up the signal too late because by the time that you see it you would have already been caught with a speed gun but if you're doing just over the speed limit or normal speeds this is perfect and also helps you keep alert and mindful just to say don't put your foot down here there's a police car up ahead it is a really cool piece of tape so the ones that are a bit more expensive can detect police cars up to much further distance it's really just out of what you want and what you require so if you do want to buy this there is a link down below yeah there's not really much else on it it works I was half expecting it not doing anything but yeah sorry guys a waste of time it works by it there's a link down below thank you for watching remember to like and subscribe and go over to my Instagram to see behind the scenes photoshoot stuff and stuff
