Escort MAXcam 360c Laser Radar Detector and Dash Camera - Great Range 360 Protection Shared Alerts Incident Reports

I had the Cobra Road Scout and it was beyond disappointing. Simply put, the camera in the Road Scout is OK but the radar function was abysmal. And it completely failed after three years. I've had the MaxCam for a few weeks and it's impressive. Very few false alarms in places I know they exist and it seems to have great reception qualities for incoming radar or other threats. I'm really happy with this purchase. Read more

DO NOT waste your money on this piece of garbage. Video quality is ok, but to get anything off this piece of junk, you sit in your car for 25 min (when it actually connects to the crappy app) and it fails almost every time to download a video. It disconnects from your phone, wifi and bluetooth are unstable and half the time the video freezes while trying to watch it, and the radar detector goes into parking mode. (Which powers it down and drops your connection.. guess what you have to start all over.) I bought this for its camera function. Dont waste your money. Great as far as a radar detector goes, it works perfect. But 300$ extra for this model to have video is a rip off. Dont make my mistake.!! Read more

I am very pleased with this MAXcam 360c. I wanted a dashcam for my truck to be prepared for any insurance scam attempt or accident. Adding the M1 or M2 wasn't an option as my existing Escort Max II was not compatible. I came across this MAXcam 360c and thought I would upgrade my old MAX II that frankly alerted so often to false signals I rarely used it anymore and just relied on Waze to inform me of potential speed traps. I was hesitant because of the cost, and more so because of a lot of negative reviews about the Drive Smarter app, which seemed kind of key to realizing the full potential of this unit. I noted that a lot of those negative reviews were more than a year old, so I took the chance. Boy, am I glad I did. I have been running this MAXcam for a little over a week now and it has not picked up a single false signal. I run it in AutoLoK mode in the city/suburbs, and then Highway when otherwise. I disabled X band, and toggled on K, and Ka "super wide." I live in a very police heavy area and I am only getting alerted when there is a police car nearby running radar. I have not encountered many issues with the Drive Smarter app. It connects within 30 seconds and I can edit the settings easily, and the map works great. I've had it disconnect or be unable to connect to the unit once or twice in a week, and I simply close out the app and then restart it and everything works great. Is the Drive Smarter map as good as Waze or Google Maps? Of course not, and I doubt it ever will be. What would be amazing is if Escort struck a partnership deal with either Waze or Google to integrate their units with their map. I think they would completely own the radar detector market if they did this. But all in all, I am very pleased with this purchase and feel like I am well protected from a false insurance claim, as well as an overzealous state trooper. Read more

Even without utilizing the accompanying app, this device operates seamlessly, offering intuitive controls and easy-to-understand alerts.

The accuracy is top-notch, with minimal false alerts, which is a testament to its sophisticated engineering. Cameras - Adequate and Functional: The built-in cameras are satisfactory.

It's a product that delivers on its promises, and then some. It uses the same hardware as the red line 360c and is just as capable. The biggest complaint in the reviews is about the app, and honestly, you really don't need the app. If you want to watch a video, just connect it to your computer after the drive. Read more
