Customer Ratings & Reviews

The radar is good but the camera quality is poor i took it back to the store for the Uniden R8.

There was only basic instructions included. I went on lone to look at the more detailed instructions but they were not much better. I’m learning how to use it by experimentation

Wouldn't get on the road without this sucker. I love the Red Light and Speed Camera features in this Money Grabbing City I live in. This device will pay itself off 10 times over.

I bought this at Best Buy on October 28 for $723.83 and it is now much more. Black Friday/Cyber Monday scam?!

Works great just wish the power cord was longer so it could reach the outlet

On launch this device and the accompanying android app were fine. They worked, a little lag when trying to access videos...but i figured they would fix that in future updates. After the 3rd update or 4 months of ownership, device and app could no longer communicate. Unpaired, deleted, repaired. Worked for a week or so. Next update killed any troubleshooting. 2 weeks ago received another update. Device went into format memory card boot loop. Did a hard reset and device still didnt work.went on the escort forums and found a bunch of other posts similar to my situation. Another thing to note is the drive smarter app is rated 2 stars. Thats whay too high! Returned this paperweight and got a uniden that works without issues. What a headache this was!

This is a good Radar and laser detector but the app doesn’t have the camera on it

Best Radar detector…………… ………………………………………………………….!!

Best purchase I have made in a long time, and worth every penny. It has “Helped me out” many times already since the day I purchased it at Best Buy.

I haven’t bother using there application but its pretty much plug and go I kept my older max 360 for my other car. I do think the escort premium models are one of the better detectors.

Works great/ very helpful but the scanner will only work if the cops are scanning. The app is eazy to use and the recordings are crisp

No good camera quality and too hard to access the videos

After the painful firmware upgrade nightmare when the product was released, Escort has released a series of updates to fix the big problems especially on the camera recording access.

Had this just over a year, detector started to shut down and or freeze. I wasted 800 bucks on this and Escort wants another 200 to look at it and fix it. My Bel radar detector stil works and is over 10 ywars old with no issue but an update. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

Absolutely love it Best radar detector I ever bought

I am a strong supporter of Escort products but this one has been released before it’s time. The concept is fantastic. However, most of the time the Apple not connect to the camera settings nor the unit. Also, all of my files for the camera can’t find GPS and have the wrong date and time. Great concept, poor execution

Works fine, just need to sync to my smart phone!!!

The Escort Maxcam 360C Radar Detector and Dash Cam combo is a great concept, it just lacks some updates and a better app package for the Android atmosphere of phones. Yes, the unit does great at detecting radar and the camera is fantastic, but the amount of time to get the app connected and working properly made me want to throw it out the window. The newer tech of the MAXcam 360c is great, compared to my old Escort, there are many more options added when it comes to modes, but I always go back to the auto settings and let it rip.The app is honestly the biggest shortfall for myself, and being a techy, it should not be this hard to update a radar detector. I had almost 4 hours getting the app to see my WiFi and the unit to update it, it constantly would say no internet connection. After I figured out a way to connect back and forth on WiFi settings in my S23 quicker, it finally updated. The radar detector works great, picks up from long distances without issue and has honestly saved me plenty going back and forth to the hospital over the last month to see my wife then rush home to feed my kids and then back to the hospital. The camera works great as well except in sunny conditions where glare takes over and you cannot see a thing, my old dash cam did not have this issue. The video quality is great at 1440 at 30 fps, I can watch it perfectly on my phone but fails often when downloading it to my phone, this is a huge annoyance as well. And last, Escort, it is time to go to a USB-C power connector, these phone cord connectors are just not it imo, much better options with solid mounting and power hard wiring with USB-C and integrating into aftermarket high end stereos for alerts and using the camera to record to another device for blogging. With some upgrades including lighter weight components, this would be a 5 star product but at the price point now, they are simply too expensive for the old style and the app.

The Escort MaxCam 360c is a very capable radar detector and dashcam combo unit. It has been almost 20 years since I've owned a radar detector and they have come quite a long way in those 20 years. This particular unit features bluetooth and wifi so you can connect to the Drive Smarter smartphone app. With the app you can view and edit all of the unit's settings, view and download video footage, and more. In my experience, the app is a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, it's really nice and useful to be able to view and edit all of the units settings on your phone. On the other hand, connectivity is spotty at best, and not all features work as they should, most notably, downloading video clips. Regarding connectivity, I would regularly notice that my phone wwould drop the bluetooth connection, although at least it would reconnect automatically in a few seconds. This didn't affect the main functionality of the unit at all, however, if you use the connected features such as red light camera detection or other community based features, then you really should be able to rely on that app connection. As far as the video clips, I couldn't once actually download a video clip using the app. In theory, you connect to the unit via wifi and just download the selected clips. However, in practice this never worked for me. I was able to connect via wifi and see all of my clips, and even view them. However, when I went to download, the progress bar would just never move and I'd eventually have to just close the app. Your best bet to download clips is either plug the unit into a computer using the supplied USB cable, or remove the SD card and put it directly in a card reader. Speaking of the SD card, I really appreciate that they include a card, however, it really is the bare minimum. It is only a 16gb card, and at 1440p video at 30fps, you can hold about 60 minutes worth of video on the card, double that if you downgrade to 1080p video. When you max out the capacity on the card, it automatically deletes the oldest files and rewrites the new footage. It's nice that this is all automatic, but on longer road trips it could be easy to overwrite a desired video clip if you forget to manually mark it using the on unit buttons. I'll also mention the video quality here while I'm on the cam. It is only decent. It's not bad, but it's not where I would prefer in this price range. I have used much cheaper dash cams that have had much better video quality. That being said, those other cams did not also have radar detectors built-in. Which is really the main attraction here. And it does not disappoint. It does exactly what it needs to do. Luckily, I got to test this thing out over the 4th of July weekend when the cops were out in full force trying to catch those speeders and drunk drivers. It was very satisfying to get the alerts and then see the trooper posted up on the side of the road shortly after. Detection in my experience works extremely well, and as best as I could tell I got very little, if any, false alerts. So as a radar detector, I am very happy with the MaxCam's performance. And as stated, that really is the main reason you would even be considering this product. The built-in dashcam is really just an added bonus and gives you functionality you wouldn't otherwise be able to get without cluttering up your windshield. So in that regard, I am again, very happy with this product. The main things keeping me from giving this 5 stars is the camera quality and app integration. Now, the app integration is something that could possibly be improved in future updates, and from what I've read, has already been improved greatly. However, the camera quality is what it is and cannot be upgraded, unfortunately. Also would have really preferred a larger memory card included. Overall, this is a really great radar detector and dash cam combo. There are just a few minor quirks that keep it from being truly 5 stars.

The Escort MAXcam 360c is a feature-rich radar detector and dash camera combination designed to offer comprehensive protection for drivers on the road. As someone who values safety and staying within speed limits, I decided to invest in this product to gain a sense of confidence while driving. Here is my in-depth review, highlighting both its impressive features and the significant downside I encountered. Pros: 1. 360-Degree Radar Detection:** The standout feature of the MAXcam 360c is its 360-degree radar detection capability. It covers all angles, effectively warning me of speed traps, red-light cameras, and potential police radar from all directions. This has undoubtedly saved me from numerous speeding tickets and allowed me to maintain a safer driving speed. 2. Superior Range and Accuracy:** The radar detection range of the MAXcam 360c is impressive. It consistently picks up signals from far away, giving me ample time to adjust my speed and avoid any potential speed traps ahead. Additionally, the false alarm filtering is quite accurate, minimizing unnecessary alerts and preventing any frustration during my journeys. 3. Integrated Dash Camera:** The built-in dash camera is a valuable addition, capturing high-quality footage of my drives. This feature provides peace of mind in case of accidents or any unexpected events on the road. The video clarity is excellent, even in low-light conditions, ensuring that all details are adequately recorded. 4. Intuitive Display and Controls:** The device's user interface is easy to navigate, allowing quick adjustments to sensitivity settings and audio alerts. The large, bright display is easy to read at a glance, ensuring I can stay focused on the road while receiving necessary information. 5. Speed Limit Data and GPS Connectivity:** The MAXcam 360c comes with an extensive database of speed limits, which is incredibly helpful when driving in unfamiliar areas. Combined with GPS connectivity, the detector can provide accurate alerts based on my current location and the speed limits in that area. Cons: Mobile App Connectivity Issues:** One glaring drawback of the Escort MAXcam 360c is its mobile app's unreliability. Despite its potential to enhance the user experience, the app frequently loses connectivity with the device. This issue has been a persistent source of frustration for me, as I often rely on the app to customize settings, access saved footage, and update the device's firmware. Escort should address this connectivity problem urgently to provide a seamless user experience. Conclusion: The Escort MAXcam 360c is undoubtedly a powerful and advanced radar detector and dash camera combo, providing drivers with crucial protection on the road. Its 360-degree radar detection, excellent range, and integrated dash camera make it a compelling choice for safety-conscious drivers. However, the recurring issue with the mobile app's connectivity hinders the overall experience. Despite this setback, the MAXcam 360c remains a reliable companion on the road, helping me stay safe and aware of my surroundings while driving. If Escort can resolve the app connectivity problems, this device would easily earn a higher recommendation.
