ContraCam
Download: Google Play
ContraCam is a software with an always up-to-date database that is updated 24/7. The program can work without the Internet, guided by satellites (GPS\Glonass) and previously downloaded maps. Can notify with voice prompts or a floating widget on top of other navigators.
The program allows you to avoid:
- stationary radars;
- mobile ambushes (in their usual location);
- radars in tunnels;
- speed recorders on the site.
ContraCam intelligently notifies you of radars along the way, without affecting the radars in the opposite direction or off the route. Integration with the car’s on-board computer or smart watch via bluetooth is supported. What is missing here is perhaps the soundtrack from the beginning to the end of the radar coverage area.
HUD Camera Radar
Download: Google Play
An unusual application is a virtual speedometer with the function of tracking speed limits and dangers on the road: it finds cameras, arrows, highways, traffic police posts, and so on.
The program is able to work without the Internet – everything you need is already loaded. An interesting projection function has been implemented, putting the smartphone on the dashboard under the windshield you will see the display of numbers (this works well at night, during the day the display brightness may not be enough). HUD Speed is compatible with all kinds of navigators, and the free version has a database with radar maps on the roads of the CIS – Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus and other countries.
CamSam
Download: Google Play
Let’s continue to find out which anti-radar for Android is better. CamSam is a completely free application, but its functionality is quite extensive. During installation, all CIS countries are available, and additional cards can be added in a couple of clicks.
Like analogues, CamSam shows the current limit and your current speed. There is a “concentration mode” that allows you not to be distracted by other notifications while driving. Users of the program can replenish the base of objects on the road themselves. It is enough to touch the screen, select the “label” and enter the data. In this way, the community keeps the location of the radars as up-to-date as possible. CamSam’s interface is intuitive, but only English is supported.
Radar M
Download: Google Play
Antiradar M differs from competitors in that it operates on the basis of 2GIS and Maps.me navigation systems. It supports auto-launch at the beginning of the movement, and the quick launch icon can also be moved to the status bar, located next to the Wi-Fi power button and other toggle switches.
The latest version of the software introduces an alert distance setting – the assistant can report a potentially dangerous object one hundred, two hundred or more meters away, leaving enough time for a reaction. The anti-radar program works fine without the Internet, synchronizing locations via GPS / Glonass. Background work is available when the display is off, which saves smartphone battery.
Of the nuances – the free version of Antiradar M with full functionality is available for 7 days. After that, you will have to take a premium, but it is bought once and for all, and not in a subscription format for monthly pumping out money.
MapcamDroid
Download: Google Play
The rating of radar detectors for Android continues with MapcamDroid. This software is perfectly optimized – it works with both horizontal and vertical orientation of the smartphone, including being displayed on top of running applications. The program can be synchronized with the car radio on Android, if music plays, it will mute the sound and you will clearly hear information about the cameras directly from the car’s speakers.
It is possible to put points on the map with reference to the area, mark interesting or unwanted objects, leave comments under other people’s marks. Mapcam does not require registration and fully works in Russian immediately after installation. Even in the free version, there are many subtle settings that you can master to get peace of mind and confidence on the road.
Antiradar Strelka
Download: free on the developer’s website.
The Russian anti-radar on Android “Strelka” became the silver medalist of the top. This application works in the most remote regions of the country and is characterized by increased relevance of maps. Databases are updated automatically – every day the program downloads fresh data on objects on the roads. In the absence of the Internet, they can be downloaded as a file from an external medium (flash drive).
3 modes of use are supported – highway, city and metropolis. The arrow has a wide range of action, it warns not only about stationary cameras and traffic police posts, but also recognizes roadside control systems, stop lines, road markings. The distance to objects and the type of signals can be adjusted. In addition to visual notification, voice warnings, vibration, beeper with increasing frequency are available to choose from. There is also a full-fledged personal account, for access to which registration is required. It has the ability to make purchases (for example, purchase a subscription with advanced functionality) or download maps from third-party services.
GPS AntiRadar
Download: Google Play
The best radar detector for Android, according to most drivers , is GPS AntiRadar. According to reviews on the Play Market, this program is a record holder, the average rating is 4.6 stars out of 5. The application is equipped with three types of interface, including a simplified one. Suitable for motorcyclists – there is an enhanced vibration mode that alerts the user through physical contact in the pocket.
GPS AntiRadar warns about cameras, prompts the speed limit, and is able to report on important objects on the road – gas stations, emergency sections, congestion of certain interchanges. Works well, leaving enough time to slow down with little to no braking. And most importantly, the Lite version of the application is devoid of any ads, which are quite annoying for competitors.
If you still have not decided which radar detector to install on your phone, we recommend that you test several applications at once. They differ primarily in the interface. Choose the most convenient option for yourself, use the basic functionality, and then it will be seen whether it is worth paying to unlock premium features. For most drivers, the features that are in the free versions of applications are enough.
