Best Speed Camera Detector?

[barflux]

I am looking at either Road Angel or Origin B2?

Which one to go for?

Thanks

I have a Road Angel and the B2 seems better although I haven't tried it. The Road Angel is pretty basic, although it does what it says and gives plenty of notice of camera's.

Go for the B2 . Ive got one and they are great

The B2 is a better unit in terms of features and function. If however you are looking for a unit to change quickly between vehicles then the RoadAngel is well suited for this.

Does your vehicle have a comfort/UV reflective screen, if so you will need a extra GPS aerial for the RoadAngel for it to work properly whereas the OB2 has it as part of the kit

B2 every time for me. I just bought another - traded my 2 geodessy's (£150 for each one from networx automotive)

If you have family cars you want to swap between , you can buy an extra car mounting kit . We've three cars and now 2 complete b2's and 1 extra car kit .

B2 is smaller than road angel which makes for a more discrete mounting options and you dont get that ugly ugly laser detector that road angel insist you park in the middle of your windscreen. B2's is tiny & hides well.

The Origin B2 will aslo integrate with the LRC 100 laser jammer

mobilecentreuk - Welcome to the Forum.

As a supplier of various kit, do you have any views on the Snooper S4 Neo ?

I have a Snooper S4 its the dog's

 

[mobilecentreuk]

Thank you for the welcome ! I have been a member for a while just not posted up ! The S4 is quite a good peice of kit, I would choose that over the RoadAngel due to its smaller size and more attractive laser detector ! The ultimate choice in my opinion is the Origin B2 though

@CAT MAN

I agree with you - bought one a month ago, and it was the dog's . . . for 3 weeks, but has suddenly failed on me. Equally, I know others who are very pleased with it and have no problems . . . I'm just trying to ascertain whether anybody has had problems, and if so what sort.

Snooper have had a run of "bad" luck with their devices such as the S6 which was I think recalled. The plus side is that you have your warranty which on that product is 24 months.

It sure does ! and works brilliantly. I just bought 2 LRC100 's as well. the B2 flashes up with DIFFUSER and beebs like crazy.

If anyone wants their LRC installtion testing try www.ukspeedtraps.co.uk

Yes - I'm investigating a possible warranty claim at the moment - just want to make sure that the product is generally reliable and that I have been genuinely unlucky before accepting a repair / replacement.

Just realised that this entire thread should have been posted in the electronics section . . . . Moving

see below

I was going initially with the road angel few months back, but having seen the Origin B2 it looks better and is smaller, and that it was the recommended product on test on 5th Gear show.

I have a CLK, and didn't really want it fully integrated into the car as I don't mind the wires out, but could someone tell me what the other bits and pieces of the kit looks like and where they go as everywhere on the web they just show the device but not the rest that needs to be connected up with it.

I don't have a comfort or UV filter windscreen.

Also do Origin have a website or where do you go to download the updates?

Thanks

We offer a jammer testing service based in the midlands, ukspeedtraps can offer this in the North of England

The Origin B2 comes with a laser detector and a seperate aerial, the website is www.originb2.com

The B2 is normally very good, but recently mine has failed on me twice. A couple of weeks ago it would not pick up any sats.. this turned out to be a cradle fault. I took the unit to the Origin offices in London, they identified the fault and gave me a new cradle.. all whilst I waited. Currently the speaker is not working, so it flashes and displays the alerts but without sounds. Guna go and see them tmr, hopefully another quick fix.

Regardless of these two faults I would 100% recommended it, as its neat, effecient and the customer support is brilliant. The updates are easy and quick to perform via a serial cable and internet update program that is supplied. A seperate modem is available if you don't have one. To make things perfect I wish they would make a USB cable rather serial.

 

[mobilecentreuk]

I think USB is on the cards as we speak, on the flip side to this the unit is avaialble with an optional modem so MAC users and those without a PC can still use the device.

I'm looking forward to being able to have a look at a few installations of these things at the gtg next month. General opinion is I should prob have something along these lines in my car - dunno why but I like the clean look - can't stand wires n stuff - so be good to see how tidy some of you have yours - or not
