Drive Smarter 4+

When I bought this $700 radar detector, I was told I needed to go see a doctor because I’m crazy but after using it all the way from Connecticut to Florida I still thought I was crazy the reason I never hooked up to the smarter app that basically comes along with it, you can use cobra Dash cams, etc. anyhow, I just learned that you can actually use the app along with the radar detector which detects red light cameras, and things of that nature as a GPS as well so very cool stuff I’m extremely happy anyone out there that into gadgets, especially really into gadgets and for you spend the money and don’t be a,,

🥂 Cheers!

Thanks a lot for your amazing review and safe rides :)

The app is pretty good. I like the functionality of it and I really like the ability of having my speed and GPS coordinates water marked on the videos and photos taken I especially like the ability to save important videos and photos taken in an emergency so that I can email them to my insurance provider if necessary that my opinion Is one of the main sellers of the device. Now what I don’t like is it when I first got it I had no problems with it but now, after having it installed in my jeep for a little less than four months, it has started to not come on when my car started and I have to unplug the dash cam and plug it back in for it to come on. Other times I will open a door or the liftgate and the dash cam will start recording. Other times when the dash cam is operating as expected, while driving down the road it will often shut down. By this, by shut down I mean the dash cam will turn off and not turn back on and I will have to unplug it and plug it back in. The dash cam is hardwired into my vehicle and nothing has changed from the first day It was installed to now. Other than that, I love the dash cam, and I love the app maybe I just have a faulty dash cam who knows if cobra could reach out to me and explain what’s going on and help me fix the problem or maybe have me send them this one and send me a new one I would give it five stars instead of the three that I gave it.

After purchasing Redline360 and M2 dashcam, nothing but problems both with updating the redline as well as accessing the recordings and live view function of the M2. For the price paid for supposedly “superior” products, the app functionality is some of the worst that I’ve seen. Ready to get a less capable detector and camera that actually works with its app the way that it’s supposed to. The minuscule performance increase claimed for the hardware is not worth the frustration induced trying to work with its “supporting” aps. NOT RECOMMENDED. Update after using for a year. STILL NO improvement. These apps and/or hardware are absolutely terrible. Nothing but problems. You think the (expensive) M2 has you covered and is recording as it should. Better check it every day, cause just found out mine apparently counted every video on a smooth highway an emergency, so saved it and filled up the memory card, then not recording more recent vids. They recommend level 1 for the sensitivity, and I had it set to level 2 (should be More difficult to trigger). Actually wanted to love this equipment and aps (long time Escort user for many, many years), but this Redline/M2 (expensive) combo has completely turned me against this company if they can not do any better than this. Wanted to duplicate setup for other vehicles, but after these ongoing headaches, NO WAY. Switching to competitor.
