Snooper S3-R neo Explained
The Snooper S3-R neo GPS, Laser and Radar speed camera detector is one of the only units on the market to combine all three technologies.
The Snooper S3-R neo is also equipped with a user selectable speed limit alert system so that the device can be programmed to alert you to any pre-determined speed you choose.
Radar and Laser Detection
The Snooper S3-R also comes complete with a radar/laser detector (S100RLD) that can either be mounted on the dashboard or inside of the windscreen. The Snooper S3-R radar/laser detector however is also waterproof and comes complete with an under bonnet mounting kit so that it can be positioned within the engine compartment behind the vehicles grille for a neat and professional installation.
The Snooper S3-R neo RLD has been designed to detect all types of radar and laser speed monitoring systems often used in danger spots where 'Fixed' systems cannot be easily utilised, thus ensuring that you will be made alert to nearly every speed monitoring system and accident hotspot whether Fixed or Mobile. Detection of radar and laser is also selectable so that the device can be programmed to detect radar and laser, laser only or can even be turned off in low risk areas.
AURA speed camera database
Unlike AURA, many other GPS databases rely largely on locations provided by hobbyists who might not be able to tell a speed camera or a red light camera from a traffic flow camera or a surveillance camera. These databases could result in annoying false alerts, which could lead you to start ignoring even legitimate alerts--defeating the point of having a GPS database in the first place.
Other databases are not updated every day, and they also limit how often you can download updates. As a result, devices using these databases are not as up-to-date as they could be and are likely to miss alerts.
In contrast, Snooper has assembled a professional team that devotes every working day to verifying each and every speed camera and high risk zone that goes into the AURA database.

‣Speed camera database covers UK.
‣GPS detection of all fixed speed monitoring systems and accident hotspots via the Enigma database.
‣Detection of all radar and laser speed monitoring systems.
‣Speed limit and road number or name at location of accident hotspot or speed monitoring system.
‣Speed Limit Alert.
‣'Easy fit' dash board or under-bonnet mounting systems.
‣1 Year manufacturers guarantee.
