Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Dash cam is a joke because it has issues with CarPlay and you like and use CarPlay it’s not the one for you plus the dash cam unless hardwired it won’t record in parking mode anyway. So I went to the redline escort it’s awesome

First, I will start by saying that the radar detector part of the Escort MaxCam works great. It always detects valid radar from a good distance away when it should and does a very good job of filtering out false alarms which I rarely hear. The alarm tone sounds much more pleasant than other detectors I have heard and the voice prompts sound decent for what they are and help keep your eyes on the road while letting you know what is happening. The screen looks great and shows all the information you need, mostly but more on that later. The mute button is in a great location on the front panel that is very easy to access and you also have the option to mute it from a button on the power connector. Red light and speed camera prompts are a big plus too and are usually accurate. It gives you the direction that the radar is coming from which I always find handy to figure out how to deal with it. There are a ton of settings that allow you to fine tune how you want it to work. I did leave most of the settings at there default, but they are there if you want to mess around. Unfortunately, the companion app is really bad. First off, initially connecting the detector to the app did not go smoothly. I read that you must update the firmware to fix connection problems, but you have to be able to successfully connect the app to the detector to update the firmware. After a lot of messing around, I was eventually able to update the detector firmware and the connections were a lot better but still not perfect. That said, updating the firmware to the latest is a must do. There are some other issues that need to be fixed. The radar detector screen is supposed to be able to show the speed limit for the road I am on with the app running but it rarely works. Most of the time it is either blank or shows in incorrect speed and freezes on that and won’t change. The speed shown that you are currently driving at does work flawlessly. I have a Garmin watch that shows notifications from my phone and when I start the app, it shows a new notification every 5 seconds from the Drive Smarter app which means I have to turn off my watch when I start the app. This is very unfortunate because I like to quickly look at my phone notifications on my watch while I am behind the wheel but now I can’t. The camera does a good job at recording the video and the video quality is excellent, but getting the video from the detector’s camera to the app on your phone is very unreliable. It’s just easier to remove the SD card and put it into your computer. The radar detector works great, and I can definitely recommend that part of it, but the Driver Smarter app is bad. It has a lot of potential to be good but needs work to get there. Overall, a mixed bag until some issues are worked out.

Stay away from this decetor unless you want to constently have to mess with it before every drive. I would either get the max 360c or redline 360c if you are comparing the 3. Still has issues connecting to wifi, and would not show speedlimit with bluetooth or wifi. connecting to the camera live view didnt work 99% of the time. and in my opinion compaired to the max360c it feels a lot more cheeply made.

App is really buggy and I can't connect to the radar. Save your money and buy the 360C
