About the Escort SmartRadar™

Dominic DeVito

Out-of-sight protection that works with your smartphone

Escort's SmartRadar radar detector does more than give you rapid updates on threats — it also lets you keep your detector out of your field of view by hiding it behind your rear-view mirror. And it works with Escort's exclusive Escort Live!™ smartphone app to let you get real-time updates on enforcement areas and other danger zones from other users on the road. You'll also see radar alerts and other helpful information on your compatible Android phone's screen.

Three-piece system

The SmartRadar's compact control module fits behind your rear-view mirror, out of your line of sight for safer driving — it connects directly to your vehicle's fuse box for power. The system's display controller mounts on the front of your rear-view mirror, giving you alerts, signal strength readings, and text messages for programming user preferences. Finally, the Escort Live! app (available free from Google Play) allows your Android phone to display a wealth of real-time information right on your phone, including instant updates from other drivers on the road.

The display controller gives you a 280-character alphanumeric LED display, with on/off capabilities and adjustments for mute, brightness, and sensitivity. You can choose from three different types of meter displays to help you keep track of threats, including up to eight radar signals at the same time.

Full Escort protection

The SmartRadar gives you the trademark Escort protection you're used to, including long-distance warnings for X, K, and Ka bands. Multiple laser sensors offer additional security. The detector's SmartShield VG-2 immunity makes it invisible to most radar detector detectors.

Escort's proprietary Traffic Signal Rejection software goes even further to reduce false alerts. It weeds out strong K-band signals emitted by common highway traffic flow sensors, eliminating meaningless alarms so you can stay focused on the real threats.

Plenty of features

The SmartRadar offers seven programmable features and three sensitivity modes, including AutoSensitivity that lowers sensitivity as your speed decreases. You can also adjust mute and brightness settings, choose voice and audio alert tones, and go into fully dark mode when the need arises.

Escort SmartRadar radar detector Escort Live! Android smartphone app

Using the Escort Live! app

The Escort Live! app lets your Android phone communicate with the SmartRadar detector. You must pair your phone with the SmartRadar through your phone's Bluetooth® connection. Once they're paired and you're running the app, you'll be able to see important radar warnings on your phone in the map mode. Or view it in dashboard mode to check your speed, the speed limit, radar sensitivity, and compass heading. You can even customize the app to complement your driving style.

The Escort Live! app lets you mark potential radar locations for future reference, as well as lock out spots that consistently generate false alerts. You can get traffic information for your current location to help you avoid potential delays. The app also adds several features to SmartRadar, including multiple user displays, elimination of false alerts, and notifications for speed limit changes.

You'll have to pay a subscription fee for Escort Live! services to work within the app after the included free 12-month subscription ends — rates are $4.99/month or $49.99/year, and are subject to change without warning.


Sorry, but we cannot ship radar detectors to Virginia or the District of Columbia.

Features

Overview: The Escort SmartRadar radar and laser detector can be used as a stand-alone unit or integrated with your Android device via Bluetooth. It is fully compatible with Escort Live! which allows you to receive live radar and laser alerts from other drivers in your area. The package includes a receiver unit that is designed to be mounted unobtrusively behind your rear view mirror and a Mini Display that can be mounted on your windshield or clipped to your mirror.

Escort Live! The SmartRadar is fully compatible with Escort Live!, which allows you to receive live radar and laser alerts from other nearby drivers. Escort Live! works with your Android device (OS 2.2 or higher) through an app available for download Google Play. Once your phone is paired with the SmartRadar unit, the app provides several intuitive displays and access to all user settings. You'll get instant access to other drivers on the road who provide real-time protection and advanced warning for active speed traps.

Radar/Laser Detection: SmartRadar includes full X, K, and Superwide Ka radar detection capability. In addition, multiple high-performance laser sensors provide maximum laser warning with superior off-axis protection. You can set the unit for Tone or Voice Alerts, as well as visual alerts on the Mini Display or your Android device.

Shifter Z4 Laser Shifting System: The optional Shifter Z4 laser-shifting system includes three highly sensitive laser transceivers that detect laser signals and transmit back a pulsed signal to "shift" or confuse the targeting laser gun. Once you have corrected your speed, you can manually turn off the transceivers to avoid undue attention from the officer

Display Options: SmartRadar's Mini Display contains 280 individual LEDs to provide an ultra-bright display. You can choose from three types of meter displays:

  • Standard Bar Graph: When radar is detected, the band of the radar (X, K, or Ka) is displayed, along with a precise bar graph of the signal's strength.
  • ExpertMeter Display: Up to 8 radar signals (two Ka-band, two K-band, and four X-band) are simultaneously tracked. This mode can help you spot a change in your normal driving environment.
  • SpecDisplay: Displays the actual numeric radar frequency being received.

EZ-Programming: SmartRadar is ready to use right out of the box. However, you can program the unit to reflect your unique driving preferences. You can set the Power-On Indication, Meter Type, AutoMute, Display Brightness (including Full Dark Mode), Voice or Audio Tones, and selectable Radar and Laser bands.

Installation: The unit comes with two straight power cords: one short and one long. The short one is for obtaining power from a powered rear view mirror. The long one is a direct wire cord that obtains power from the vehicle's fuse box. The receiver unit can be windshield mounted using the supplied suction cup mount, or dash mounted using the supplied self-adhesive Velcro strips.
