Since driving with the Saphe One+, I’ve felt more aware of my speed and that my licence is safer due to the fixed camera alerts. For the price, I think they’re well worth the money as most speed camera detectors have an ongoing cost associated with them. As I mentioned earlier, I have noticed battery usage increase while using the Saphe devices; on my most recent two-hour drive around the edges of London to Sussex, the Saphe Link app used roughly an extra 20% battery, I left home with 100% and got to my destination with around 70%. Inattention is associated with 61% of all road traffic fatalities. Inattention in traffic is also connected to speeding. In fact, a report from the Danish Road Directorate shows that you are inattentive up to 30% of the time you sit in the driver's seat of a car. This applies to both you and me. Remember that miniature screen in the middle? Not only is it sharp, but it’s also rather bright. This is good news, seeing that we can read its prompts clearly even under direct sunlight. As you’re driving along, reports from other users will proactively appear on this display. It keeps you informed if you’re about to drive into a speed camera or an accident. It’s a speedy thing, which updates every second.
The noise quality was of great importance here too. Too loud and it’ll get annoying and you’d be put off and hate it. The alarm was loud enough to raise attention over music (if not blaring), but subtle and short enough to nudge you without disrupting your driving. We wouldn’t be surprised if this hasn’t gone through some rigorous user testing to get to this stage. It can’t be helped as your phone is the one doing the monitoring of your location and sending the alerts through to the Saphe One+. The award-winning Saphe One+ Speed Camera Alarm, for example, starts up automatically with your car and allows you to tailor the traffic alerts to your exact needs. The system collects traffic data from over 8 million motorists in Europe, works throughout Europe itself, and will alert you about any accidents, hazards or dangers ahead that might hamper your journey. Well, Saphe’s Drive Mini doesn’t work without one key aspect – you. That’s not to mention its rapidly growing community with more than 11,000,000 users. 700,000 of whom have Saphe Drive Minis, just like you. It’s from all of these people – including yourself – is how the Drive Mini’s databank is filled to the brim with where certain accidents, speed cameras, or troubles lie. It works sort of like Waze.If you’re happy using an app, all of those tested found the fixed cameras on our route. Waze’s ace card is the amount of crowd-sourced data it can collect from users, which means you are more likely to be warned about a mobile unit. The reason I proceeded, in the Q&A another UK user claims Saphe uses Waze data, and they verified by reporting a ghost speed camera on Waze, and then passing the location a few minutes later and alerted on the Saphe. I tried the same, and I am sad to report that doesn't happen.
It would be good if they could tap into Waze or another system to cover mobile cameras more accurately or even send you alerts to confirm if a camera is still there or not.
Therefore, limit the use of your phone and handling of equipment. Look up, be aware of the traffic around you and keep an eye on your speed. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, and we look forward to serving you better in the future.
In terms of our main matter here, it isn’t as easy to fit as some of the others, but the Aura speed trap database is good and it’s certainly not the most expensive. For European speed alerts a Here® database is included. The display is very clear (a green ring around your current speed if you’re not in trouble). The real question is the relative value of the device, even if you are looking for a dash-cam, and although the G-force is enough to turn on the dash-cam, the GPS can be a little slower to get the location right for the speed database. The best thing about all the Saphe products is that there’s no ongoing subscription fee. Most other camera alert devices have monthly or yearly fees with them. You can also use the Saphe Link to show you your progress, like Google Maps, or show upcoming warnings. Which I don’t really get, as if you buy the Saphe One+, you’ll be alerted, so why do you also need to see the cameras on your phone?The best radar detectors will also detect lasers (but will not jam them). Aside from that, look at the general quality of the product; suspiciously cheap examples will not be as good as reputable ones. The battery inside is one of the chunkiest coin cells I’ve ever seen, a CR2450. It is user-replaceable, but the manual doesn’t allude to this. You need to gently prise apart the top and bottom sections of the One+; you can then slide the battery out. They also help us to form better general driving habits by making us more aware of the limits around us and driving safely within these limits will help to eliminate the risk of speeding fines. At the other end of the scale is the Road Angel Pure One. This neat bit of road safety tech includes too many features to list (many available via subscription), but some of our favourites are the bright LCD display, live speed camera information, traffic and roadwork alerts, modem, over-the-air updates, a smart motorways feed and access to a road speed library. You can change the alert volume and type for every single warning. There are eight to choose from, with the lowest three being less intrusive beeps rather than wailing sirens.
