Smart Radar warns about cameras and other road objects in its database, displays speed and works with compatible external devices. GPS warnings use coordinates, direction, the profile and settings; Sdetector signals come from the radar detector. These are different information sources.
The app does not replace road signs or driver attention. Database information and GPS positions can be inaccurate. A speeding tolerance only changes app warnings; it does not permit exceeding a speed limit.
This guide covers Android and iOS. Available options and labels depend on the app version, operating system and connected hardware. Change settings only when safely parked.
Install the app from your chosen store, then select your language and region. Allow precise location access: speed, distance and direction to cameras depend on it. For continuous warnings, allow the required background operation and notifications.
Sdetector requires Bluetooth. Depending on the Android version, discovery may also require nearby-device or location access.
Do not disable all system restrictions in advance: grant access when using the relevant feature. If you previously denied permission, change it in the system settings for the app.
While online, update the camera database and download the required offline map. Check the region, active profile, volume, audio output and operating mode. Outdoors, wait for a reliable location fix.
If you use Sdetector, power it on and check the connection in its device card.
The green cursor shows your position and direction. Nearby markers represent road objects. Vehicle speed is separate from the camera speed limit. The region or profile name and BD date help identify the data in use.
When an object is detected, its type, speed limit or symbol, distance and additional control attributes are shown. The segmented indicator changes as you approach. The green radar area represents the configured detection zone, not a received radio signal.
The marker legend is available in settings. A numbered circle indicates a speed limit; an object type or dummy-camera label may appear instead. Hiding the map background does not disable camera markers or detection.
The front signal shows the signature name; the rear adds a rear-facing suffix, and a matching signature from both adds a both-directions suffix. The direction suffix is smaller than the name. Different signatures are displayed separately. Strength signs in PiP and the informative overlay overlap horizontally, with the front sign on top.
On the main screen, status dots above the speed number represent RD, K and MUT in that order: green means radar operation is enabled at the current speed threshold, white means K-band is enabled, and orange means muting is configured. Inactive states are gray. These are settings statuses, not detection indicators. With both detectors connected, the front group comes first, followed by a gray divider and the rear group.
In Android floating windows x1 and x2, front status dots appear above the speed and rear dots below it. These dots are absent from the Android informative overlay and iOS PiP. With both detectors connected, the header shows RD1 for front firmware, RD2 for rear firmware and BD for the camera database. A single detector uses RD. A version not yet received is shown as a hyphen in the dual-detector header.
After Sdetector connects, its signal bar appears on the radar screen. The front bar is at the top and the rear bar at the bottom. Levels 1–3 flash green 2 times per second, 4–6 orange 3 times, and 7–9 red 4 times. Colored and gray phases have equal duration.
Without detection, the main-screen bar stays neutral according to the day/night theme. In Android background display, inactive bars are hidden. iOS PiP uses small round indicators at the top and bottom and keeps their neutral gray state. Indicators respect the signatures and bands enabled in the profile.
The gear opens settings. The sound button enables or disables audio warnings. The mode button cycles through Smart, City and Highway. The day/night button changes the appearance; a manual choice does not cancel the next scheduled theme change.
The mobile-camera report button records temporary enforcement locations. If the button is unavailable, check its conditions in the relevant section of this guide.
The app uses linked entry and exit points for an average-speed section. The relevant camera types must be enabled in the profile. Between those points, a separate line shows the section limit, calculated average speed and remaining distance. Your current speed remains in its normal indicator.
Other cameras inside the section still appear in the main warning area; average-speed information does not replace them. Control is reset if your distance from the exit grows by at least 100 metres from the closest approach, indicating a possible turn or departure from the section.
The calculation depends on correct entry/exit pairing, database information and positioning quality. The displayed average is not an official measurement by the enforcement system.
City and Highway use the corresponding profile settings and detection distances. Smart switches between them using the speed threshold set in the profile.
Mode determines whether City or Highway parameters are used. A profile stores detection distances, thresholds and enabled object types. Regional settings control language, data region and measurement units. These options are related but are not interchangeable.
Check the active profile before changing its parameters. Editing another profile does not necessarily activate it. Automatic selection uses available geographic profile areas; manually selecting a profile disables automatic selection.
The restore-defaults command applies to the selected profile. Note your custom distances, thresholds and disabled object types before resetting it. This does not reset your phone.
A profile defines warning distances, speed thresholds, camera types and signatures. Select a profile or open its settings. Changes apply to that profile.
On: selects a profile based on your location in available profile areas. Off: uses your manually selected profile. Manually selecting a profile disables automatic selection.
The profile's GPS informer speed cutoff. Below it, GPS informer warnings are restricted. Zero removes this threshold. Unlike quiet mode, this is not simply an audio-only restriction.
GPS camera detection and warning distance in City, including Smart's City state. A longer distance gives more notice but may include cameras on nearby roads.
On: the selected GPS object type is eligible for alerts in the chosen modes. Off: excludes that type. Highway only also includes Smart's Highway state. Applies to this profile.
On: allows alerts for this signature or band from the external detector. Off: excludes them. Highway only limits alerts to Highway, including Smart's Highway state.
Show map enables the map background. The map source selector is below it, followed by the marker legend. There is no separate switch between points and signs.
Hiding the map background does not disable camera detection or alerts. Enable the map to select an object or add a marker with a long press.
The map uses points together with selected pictograms. Regular database cameras appear as points. User road events, police checkpoints and stopping enforcement use their respective symbols. A database speed trap with a known limit uses a speed-limit sign; without a limit it remains a point.
User speed traps and mobile tripods use camera artwork on a tripod stand; a specified limit is shown as a number. Police, document checks, pedestrians, overtaking and shoulder enforcement have distinct symbols. Accidents and roadworks use red triangles. The main symbols are shown below; 60 is an example, while the actual limit depends on the camera and selected units.
The selected object and the object of the current alert are enlarged. Signs stay upright when the map is tilted, and the vehicle cursor is drawn above them. The bottom of the support marks the object's location. A personally disabled camera remains a gray point; it is not removed from the shared database.
The two directions of one user report are displayed as one symbol between them. This represents one report, not a merger of separate nearby events. Database cameras are not combined into expandable clusters.
Accidents and roadworks create one directional report for drivers in the relevant traffic flow. They are not duplicated for oncoming traffic.
In Radar screen and maps, choose a cursor image and color. The cursor marks your position and direction of travel. Changing its appearance does not affect GPS, cameras or alerts. Reset restores the standard cursor appearance.
On: tilts the map and detection area. Off: uses a top-down view. Camera signs stay upright and readable rather than tilting with the map. This changes the display, not detection rules.
Selects the map background. Loading new areas requires internet; satellite imagery may use more data. The map background does not replace the camera database.
In map downloads, select the required country or region and download it in advance. The list depends on the selected data region. The catalogue now includes additional European countries and Turkmenistan; Russia is listed by federal districts and the other areas available in the catalogue.
Downloading requires internet access and free storage. Offline maps and the camera database update independently. If a map update fails, the previously installed valid map is retained; check the connection and retry.
On: switches day and night themes at the selected phone times. Off: change the theme manually. A manual change does not cancel the next scheduled switch. Day and night times must differ.
Drag the map with a finger and pinch with two fingers to zoom. Swipe commands for sound, mode changes and complaints have been removed, along with the gesture-control setting.
A double tap on the radar screen saves a speed-trap report under the same conditions as the regular button and opens its detail choices. A long press on an empty area of the enabled map opens the camera or road-event editor. Do this only when safely parked, or ask a passenger.
In Radar screen and maps, enable Hide buttons to hide the bottom controls after 15 seconds of inactivity. A tap or map drag brings them back; the timer restarts when interaction ends. While adding speed-trap details, that menu's timeout applies, then the bottom controls hide.
Dim button brightness darkens button backgrounds by 30%. It does not adjust the whole display's brightness or audio volume. Both settings are available on Android and iOS.
A translucent blue circle indicates reduced positioning accuracy; red indicates the loss of reliable GPS. Both indicators are intentionally faint and have no outline. Their radar size is capped at 100 metres relative to the detection scale. They remain visible when the map background is hidden.
Brief quality changes are smoothed to prevent rapid flashing. If enabled, sensors can estimate motion temporarily after GPS loss, but error grows with time. Do not treat the displayed speed or position as precise when reception is poor.
On: uses roads from a downloaded offline map for position matching and camera filtering. Off: does not use the road graph. This beta feature may reduce false alerts but can also miss relevant cameras. Offline maps only.
Continue movement using sensors when GPS is lost #
On: temporarily estimates motion using phone sensors when GPS is lost. Off: does not estimate motion from sensors. Error grows over time; this is not a replacement for GPS reception.
With quiet mode enabled at 40 km/h, new audio warnings do not start below that speed, while visual warnings remain. The current camera may be announced when you reach the threshold. Slowing down and accelerating again should not repeat an already announced current camera merely because the threshold was crossed.
Speech already started finishes when you slow down. Quiet mode also applies to Sdetector warnings, but it is separate from switching the detector itself off below a speed.
On: below the selected speed, warnings are visual only, including Sdetector warnings. Speech already started finishes. Off: quiet mode does not restrict audio. This does not switch off the radar detector itself.
The audio threshold in quiet mode. Below it, new audio warnings do not start; at the threshold they are allowed. Applies only when quiet mode is enabled.
The speeding phrase and tone do not trigger until you are within this distance of the camera. A shorter distance delays them. Normal camera warning distance is configured separately.
On a supported iPhone, enable the Dynamic Island and activities option and allow Live Activities in system settings. The activity shows radar status and alerts on the Lock Screen; Dynamic Island requires a compatible model. Background operation and location permissions are required after minimizing the app.
There is no close button on the main iOS radar screen. To stop operation, use the cross on the activity card or expanded island. The app stops GPS, audio and detector connections and requests dismissal of the activity. Open Smart Radar again to start a new session. On older iOS versions, tapping the cross may open the app to perform the stop.
Swiping the app away does not guarantee immediate removal of the system activity: iOS may not let the app run its cleanup. If a card remains, use its cross; reopening the app also checks for outdated activities. Restarting the phone should not be the first remedy. System-card updates can be delayed and do not replace spoken alerts.
The car interface opens through a supported vehicle system and connected phone. Android Auto is not the same as installing an APK directly on an Android head unit.
Android Auto is available only when the app is installed from Google Play. CarPlay requires a compatible iPhone, vehicle or head unit and an app version supporting that interface. Platform restrictions mean the car screen can differ from the phone.
Check the region, profile and audio settings on the phone before driving.
On: continues operating when minimized. Off: background operation is disabled. Required permissions must be granted; phone battery restrictions may interfere.
On Android, enable startup after system boot in Background operation. It is off by default. Open the app manually first, finish initial setup and grant the required permissions.
After a reboot, the app waits briefly and tries to open its normal startup screen followed by the radar screen. Modern Android versions require Display over other apps permission to open over another app. If the screen is locked or startup is restricted, you may need to unlock the device and open the app from its notification.
If automatic collapse into a floating window is enabled, its usual setting applies after startup. Also check notification permissions, background operation, battery restrictions and the phone or head unit manufacturer’s autostart settings.
Android does not guarantee autostart: firmware, battery saving and manufacturer restrictions may block it. It may not work on some devices, and the app cannot override these restrictions. This setting is not available on iOS.
On Android, choose x1, x2, the informative overlay or the Strip overlay. Background operation and permission to display over other apps are required. The layouts differ in size and information; audio settings still apply.
The x1 and x2 overlays include a speed-trap button. Double tapping x1, x2 or the informative overlay also submits a speed trap and opens the same detail choices. Each group has a 15-second timeout. In landscape, menus open sideways according to the overlay's position; keep navigation controls accessible.
Strip is available in the Android overlay selector. It does not show speed: it displays the logo with a GPS-status arrow and indicators for connected devices. The arrow is green for normal GPS, blue for a weak signal and red for complete loss. The device-indicator panel is hidden when no devices are connected.
A detector shows RD, K and MUT indicators; two detectors have groups separated by a line. Tap the logo for close, expand and speed-trap actions. After submitting a speed trap, the menu switches to type and detail choices. Menus close on timeout and open up or down, or sideways in landscape, according to the overlay's position.
In history, select a day and trip. Select a route point or camera on the map to see its details; a camera can be reported as inaccurate. The trip-recording switch is on the history screen. Enabling it does not recover routes that were never recorded.
The retention period controls how long old trips remain. Clearing history removes saved records; preserve important information before confirming. Disabling recording and deleting existing history are different actions.
Open Trip history and tap the export icon at the top. Export the selected trip, trips on the displayed day, or choose a start and end date. The individual-trip option is available when a trip is selected. Export uses retained records only; deleted history cannot be recovered.
One trip is saved as GPX. Multiple trips produce a ZIP archive with a separate GPX for each trip. Files contain coordinates, point timestamps in UTC and speed in a GPX extension. Speed display depends on the program used to open the file. Exporting a selected trip also includes its retained records after midnight.
After confirmation, the system share menu opens: save the file or choose an app to send it. The file is not automatically uploaded to our server. It reveals your route, travel times and speed, so share it only with people you trust. No file is created if the selected period has no records.
The quick Speed trap button requires a fresh GPS fix and a speed of at least 5 km/h. Reports have a 1-minute cooldown. Sensor-only positioning after GPS loss is not sufficient. Tapping saves the location at that moment, then lets you add details.
The quick button and its detail choices do not consume the quota for adding temporary reports through the map. Offline submissions wait in the queue. To mark a different location when safely parked, use a long press on the map. Report only events you actually observed.
After a successful tap on Speed trap, the app immediately saves an ordinary report and the coordinates at that moment. A group of icons opens above the button: tripod, police, accident and roadworks. A choice updates the existing report rather than creating another point.
Choosing tripod offers limits of 40, 60, 70 and 90 km/h. With miles selected, the choices are 25, 40, 45 and 55 mph. Choosing police offers document checks, pedestrians, overtaking or shoulder enforcement.
For accidents and roadworks, choose the left, middle or right lane. Without a lane selection, only the event type is saved. The lane is added to the text and spoken alert; the main event sign stays the same.
Each button group stays visible for 15 seconds. Tapping outside or letting the time expire hides the buttons but keeps information already saved. Selecting a type starts a fresh 15 seconds for the next group. A GPS camera alert does not close the choices.
With no selection, the ordinary speed-trap report remains. Selecting just a type saves it without extra details. Offline reports and updates wait in the sending queue. Older app versions display these events as ordinary speed traps.
The alert sign matches the saved details: camera, tripod, speed limit, police, documents, pedestrians, overtaking, shoulder, accident or roadworks. Accidents and roadworks use red triangles. Text and speech also describe the event and its selected details. Stay focused on the road and ask a passenger to make the report.

Automatic speed-trap reports from Sdetector signatures #
The app can automatically report a speed trap when Sdetector is connected and the received signature is enabled in the active profile and actually displayed. A fresh GPS position and a loaded camera database are required. There must be no fixed cameras within 2 km, including cameras disabled in the warning profile.
AUTOCON, KORDON, KORDON M, KORDON PRO, MULTARADAR, ROBOT, SKAT and SKAT M require a continuous signal for more than 20 seconds. AMATA and POLISCAN require more than 10 seconds. Other signatures do not create automatic reports. Losing or changing the signature, disconnecting the detector or hiding its signal resets the timer.
Automatic reports have a 5-minute cooldown. This automation is independent of the manual button and does not change its one-minute interval. Reports created while offline remain queued. Results depend on database accuracy and signature recognition.
Open the add-camera option, or select a camera in trip history and choose the report-inaccuracy action. The website uses your language; a report opened from history includes the known coordinates and selected camera details.
On the correction map, select an existing point or an empty location for a new camera. Moving the centre loads nearby cameras, up to 100 per set. Explain what is wrong: limit, direction, type, existence or position. Selecting an existing camera includes its ID for the administrator.
Submitting a report requests review; it does not immediately edit the shared database. Allow time for review and a subsequent data update.
The thumbs-down button during a camera alert saves the camera in Camera complaints without sending immediately. It is not shown for temporary events, including accidents and roadworks, or for your own personal cameras. Adding the same camera again does not create a duplicate draft.
When parked, open the entry and check the camera type, coordinates, direction and speed limit with its units. Enter a comment, for example that the camera was removed or its limit or direction is wrong. Tap Send. The developers review the report; the shared database does not change immediately.
Without internet, a confirmed complaint stays queued. The app retries when connectivity returns; on iOS you may need to reopen the app after it has stopped. Do not uninstall before sending completes. Cancellation is available while the entry is not being transmitted.
In the selected camera's card, enable Do not notify and confirm the change. The camera is added to the disabled list. This is a personal setting: it does not remove the object from the shared database or submit a complaint by itself.
A disabled camera remains a gray point without visual or spoken alerts. Restore notifications in Camera complaints → Disabled. The complaint counter does not include the number of disabled cameras.
Sending or deleting a complaint does not automatically restore alerts. Disabling persists after restart but is not included in a settings-transfer file. If the camera's identity changes in the database, its alerts may resume.
With the map enabled, tap a point or sign. The selected object enlarges and moves to the upper map area, with its details card below. Check its type and enforcement features, coordinates, direction and speed limit. Do not treat missing parameters as confirmed information.
Tap Report, enter a comment directly in the card and choose Send or Cancel. Describe a specific problem, such as a removed camera, incorrect limit or location. With internet access it sends immediately; otherwise it stays queued. To disable alerts personally, use Do not notify in the main card and confirm.
On Android and iOS, enable the map and long-press the required empty location. In What is here?, choose a mobile tripod, police, roadworks, an accident or a fixed camera. Mobile tripod is selected by default; if the temporary-report quota is exhausted, an available option is selected. The marker matches the selected type.
Fine-tune the position by moving the map beneath the marker. The bottom of the stem or middle tripod leg marks the exact location. Then tap Next. The cross closes the editor at any stage; an unfinished new point does not need confirmation.
Temporary map reports last up to 3 hours. You can add 6 reports per 6 hours, starting from the first saved report. Once the quota is exhausted, temporary options are unavailable until it resets, but fixed cameras can still be added. The quick Speed trap button does not use this quota.
For a tripod, police or a fixed camera, specify where the camera faces. Align the blue sector and arrow with its view along the road. The minus and plus buttons change the angle. For accidents and roadworks, select the affected traffic flow's direction, shown by a separate arrow from the marker base.
For a tripod or fixed camera, choose the limit using minus and plus beside the sign. The default is 60 km/h; choices are unspecified and 40 to 110 km/h in steps of 10. In miles, choices are unspecified and 25 to 70 mph in steps of 5. These are map-editor choices, not the quick speed-trap buttons.
For police, optionally specify document checks, pedestrians, overtaking or shoulder enforcement. For accidents and roadworks, choose the left, middle or right lane; the editor defaults to the middle lane. Fixed cameras can have several enforcement features. Check the summary before confirming.
Send data to the developers is selected by default: a report is submitted for review and the camera is not saved in My cameras. Install the camera only for me saves it on your device without submitting. Send data to the developers and install for me performs both actions.
Add a comment if needed and confirm. Offline submissions wait in the queue. Submitted information is not automatically added to the shared database: the developers review it. A personal camera is stored only on your device.
Open My cameras in the main settings. Its counter shows the number of personal cameras. Entries display enforcement types, coordinates, direction and speed. Reports sent only to the developers do not appear here.
Tap Edit to open the camera on the map and change its parameters. Back or confirming the changes returns to My cameras. Deleting removes the camera from your device, not the shared database. Your own cameras do not show the thumbs-down button.
Power on the device and open Smart-device discovery in settings. Select it, wait for connection to complete and check its paired-device card. Keep Bluetooth devices near the phone and avoid connecting them simultaneously from another app.
Disconnecting and removing a pairing are different actions. A removed device must be discovered and configured again. A previously paired device card does not mean that the device is currently connected.
After pairing, enter the 10-digit serial number from the sticker on the underside of the Smart Detector. Three attempts are allowed. After three incorrect entries, the connection is reset and you can start discovery again. Enter your own device number exactly, including any leading zeros.
Validation checks the format and check digits, not a list of all manufactured units. After successful connection, the number is used with device information and may be prefilled in a support request for the external device.
Smart Radar supports two Sdetectors connected at the same time: one front and one rear. Choose Direction after entering the serial number, or in the device settings below GPS informer. Front is the default, so previously paired devices do not need pairing again.
Several devices can be saved for each direction, but only one front and one rear detector can connect simultaneously. Automatic reconnection preserves the assigned direction. The rear detector also works alone. In settings, the front card appears above the rear card; direction labels distinguish the devices when both directions are used.
Each detector has its own sounds, volume, muting and sensitivity. App quiet mode is shared. The first connection is announced; connecting the second while the first is connected does not repeat the announcement. Only a front detector disconnection is announced.
If the app remains in the red GPS state for more than 30 seconds, it can automatically enable poor-GPS mode for Sdetector. Once satellite reception returns, that automatic override is removed immediately.
If you enabled this mode manually, the app leaves it enabled. On restart, it also checks whether the mode was automatic, so restored GPS should not leave an automatic override active.
When manually enabled, Sdetector uses poor-GPS mode. Otherwise the app may temporarily enable it after prolonged GPS loss and disable it when reception returns. Manual activation is not automatically cancelled.
In each Sdetector's settings, below Highway sensitivity, enable Disable RD when a fixed camera is within. The filter is off by default. Use the arrows to select 500, 1000, 1500 or 2000 m; the default is 1000 m. Front and rear detectors have independent settings.
The filter hides signature and K-band alerts, including sound and active signal indicators on the radar screen and in background displays. It does not switch off the detector hardware or disable camera-database alerts.
Any eligible stationary database point within the radius activates the filter, regardless of its direction or profile settings. Police posts, stopping-control cameras and dummy cameras do not activate it. If another eligible camera is also nearby, suppression still applies.
When you leave the radius, a signal that is still current starts a new alert episode. If GPS position is unavailable, stale or unreliable, or movement is estimated by sensors, the filter does not suppress signals.
The filter uses proximity to database points, not identification of the actual radio source. It can also hide a mobile-radar signal near a stationary camera. Enable it only if this trade-off suits you.
Voice messages do not overlap. The front detector's beep takes priority: if the rear detects first and then the front detects, the beep switches to the front. When the front signal ends, the rear beep takes over. Brief dropouts do not cause an immediate switch.
For matching signatures on both devices whose episodes start less than 5 seconds apart, the name is not repeated twice. If the front name was already spoken, only the rear-facing phrase is added for the rear. If the rear name was spoken first, the front does not repeat it within this window. Timing starts at the beginning of an episode, not each Bluetooth packet. A different signature or a new episode outside the window is announced separately.
The rear signal includes the rear-facing phrase. This identifies the assigned detector direction, not proof of the measurement direction: a rear detector can receive reflections from a radar ahead. When muting is active, a second source of the same signature does not raise the beep volume again.
This section shows your discount card and partner offers. Open an offer to read its terms: participating partners, validity and redemption rules may differ. Having a card does not mean a discount applies at every retailer.
Show the card number or barcode when redeeming an offer with the relevant partner. This section does not change your profile, camera database or warning settings.
The app version identifies the installed program and changes when it is updated. The BD version identifies road-object data. Updating one does not necessarily update the other; downloaded maps are separate data too.
For support requests, include the app version from the main settings screen and the BD date on the radar screen. Update through the store used to install the app, or the official APK source for that installation type.
The website has a dedicated Android APK page with a version, description and download. Allow installation from that source only for the browser or file manager used to open the trusted APK. You can disable this permission again afterwards.
If Android cannot update a store-installed copy because signatures differ, preserve important data first. Uninstalling may remove settings and local history. Understand those consequences before removing the app.
The APK version does not provide Android Auto operation. Install from Google Play for Android Auto. Avoid APK files from unknown third-party websites.
Contact app support for Smart Radar issues and the device support section for external hardware faults. A known device serial number may be filled in automatically.
Include phone or head-unit model, operating system and app versions, external device model and firmware, reproduction steps and expected behavior. For camera issues, include its ID, coordinates and the correction needed. Do not send Wi-Fi passwords or unnecessary personal information.
Settings and profiles are transferred between Android and iOS using a file. QR-code creation and scanning have been removed. Paired devices, system permissions, history, personal cameras and downloaded maps are not included in this file.
On the source device, open settings transfer and choose Save to file. Send that file to the other device, open the same section and choose Load from file. Review the confirmation before replacement: importing replaces transferable settings and profiles rather than merging them. Restart the iOS app after importing. Keep a backup and do not import files from unknown sources.
With automatic updates enabled, the app checks the camera database at startup and then every hour while running. If a new database and internet access are available, it downloads without requiring an app restart. Duplicate simultaneous downloads are avoided.
If the network fails, the installed database is retained and a later check can retry. Turning the option off disables automatic updates. A stopped app is not guaranteed to check on schedule. The BD date refers to camera data, not the app version or offline map.
At the bottom of the main settings, Russian, Uzbek and Kazakh users can open Smart Radar on the Technomode channel for YouTube road tests and instructions, or the Smart Radar chat to talk with users and creators. The Telegram chat is @sdetector_chat.
Chat messages do not replace a report about a specific camera: use the camera card or map editor to submit its coordinates and parameters. Do not post passwords, personal documents or other confidential information in the public chat.
Check the region, BD date and object count, active profile, enabled camera types and the GPS warning speed threshold. An offline map contains roads but does not replace the camera database.
A visible point does not guarantee an alert: direction, distance, profile settings, personal exclusions and GPS quality are considered. Tap the object to inspect its details or submit a comment. If a camera is missing, add it with a long press and choose to send it to the developers.
Check the main sound button, app and system volume, quiet mode, output routing and connected Bluetooth devices. For speeding speech, also check profile tolerance and speeding-warning distance. For Sdetector, check its volume and enabled bands and signatures.
If audio is routed to the car, check the selected head-unit source. Bluetooth hands-free and media channels behave differently. If the issue persists, tell support which other apps were playing audio.
Enable background operation and location access. On Android, check manufacturer battery and autostart restrictions. Floating overlays also require permission to display over other apps. An external GPS receiver on a head unit does not by itself guarantee coordinates reach the app: check system location access and fresh fixes.
On iOS, do not swipe the app away if you need background warnings. An activity card does not prove that GPS and audio are still running. Stop the radar using the activity cross; if a card remains after force-quitting, use its cross or reopen Smart Radar.
Open Radar screen and maps, enable Show map and check the selected source. Online maps need access to their service; offline maps require a download covering your current location. If needed, switch sources and check with tilt disabled.
Cameras on a black background mean the object layer can work independently of the map background. If the map remains missing, report the device model, OS version, map source and downloaded region. Do not erase all app data just to redownload one map.
