Inforad K3 Deluxe Speed Camera Warning Device

Some of the other reviews (when comprehensible) lead me to think that the customer has not read the instructions properly. This device needs to be registered and 'updated' before first use, in order to work. It's a pity that one cannot update it on a Mac computer. However, this aside, the K3 does warn me against all the warning cameras, except for those which have been 'de-commissioned'. I agree with a couple of the other reviews, that the lights are not particularly effective during daylight - but that's why this device includes effective audio signals. I did own the K2, until it disappeared from my car following an MOT. The K3 is an improvement. I am pleased with the 'deluxe' version, which comes with its own leather pouch to clip on my belt. I don't see why some people find it inconvenient to have to keep updating the device weekly, or recharging it. There are no messy, or awkward cables to worry about, and updating is relatively quick to carry out. At least I know when mine is up to date, and it would be far more inconvenient to have to pay a fine, and collect unwanted points on my licence.I remember that my previous K2 often used to warn me of nearby speed cameras on adjacent roads, which annoyed me at times, but I haven't sufficient evidence of this happening with my K3 yet. However, I can't see the harm in slowing down a little, just to be sure. In a perfect world, electronic signs warning drivers to slow down, should be positioned wherever required. The driver would then have the choice to be sensible, or carry on driving at speed, and caught. But this would hinder the rate of revenue taken by the Police, who seem to benefit from new cameras being erected without warning on familiar roads, to catch drivers out. Everyone exceeds the speed limit occasionally, this is a fact of life. It doesn't mean every driver is necessarily a willful, dangerous driver.

think twice about buying this come nice and fast and downloaded the software to my laptop and updated the device BUT never worked missed every speed camera and why I am giving this such a bad review is the customer service is not fit to help you when you phone the number you are asked to send a e mail and I am still waiting for advice on what I need to do to get this thing working here my advice BUY A ROAD ANGEL cost abit more many black cabs use these

Good tool, difficult to keep updated

After purchasing the K3, I opened an Inforad account and bought a 12 month subscription to the premium database. The difference being that you get weekly updates instead of monthly. All well and good. But on the very! first day of using it, there was a traffic accident on my 50 mile commute home, so I clipped the phone to the windscreen holder, turned on the TomTom app and rerouted. The satnav took me on quite a long detour through several villages, one of which had a pair of permanent average speed cameras. The TomTom saved me, because my shiny new, just! updated (from the £30 'premium' database) Inforad K3 just sat silent on the dashboard. The fact that it later sprang to life on a straight stretch of country lane, with good all-round visibility, to warn me that I was approaching a possible mobile camera site just added insult to injury. So do I still like the K3, yes. The self contained form factor is brilliant. Is my confidence in it shaken, absolutely. My TomTom app camera database was last updated at the start of December 2015 using the free update service and it knew exactly where the average speed cameras were. The K3 had been updated that morning from the Inforad paid subscription service and didn't have a clue. Which, I'm sorry Inforad, is utter crap. So do your customers a favour. Pull your finger out and give us the maximum camera protection you promise. We don't expect you to have cameras where the foundation cement is still wet, in the database yet. But we most certainly DO want you to know about cameras that were installed over a year ago.

Looks simple to once you get it set up use but be warned that - at the time of writing - the only support documentation and software is in French even though the manufacturers give an address in Ireland. (oddly enough this was something the vendors neglected to mention in their product description)

Very useful piece of kit. Small and unobtrusive. Works perfectly and sits well on dash with no sliding about. I added the location of a few portable camera locations (easy). I have an iMac but using parallels and Windows 7 I am able to update and add locations with ease. I am not in the habit of intentionally exceeding speed limits but occasionally one can, so this is a tremendous aid de memoir to prevent such lapses. Full marks a great device. A+++

Battery last for 5 hours. Waste of money.
